    I am trying to sell these keychain breathalyzers

    NOTABLE! 
    Jeff, I don't think that college kids really care all that much. Everybody thinks that they "know their limit". You have to realize who your real target audience is. For instance: 1) Parents of newly minted college freshman: How can you reach these people? If you could market it to parents...

    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    hmm... $3,000 is quite a good starting investment into lottery tickets. Spend a couple hundred on psychics and then the rest playing the magic numbers. It's a can't lose proposition, really! All kidding aside, this has been a really cool thread to read. It sparks so much imagination and...

    What % is your take home pay?

    My take home is 68% in my slowlane job. Unfortunately, the real question is what percentage of profit that I make for my company do I see? That percentage is much lower... it's around .03% This is why slowlane will NEVER be long-term viable for me. I cannot tell you how unnerving it is to...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    No problem whatsoever. As I said, my goal is to follow MJ's much repeated "CREATE VALUE" as best I can! I feel like my problem is that I have such a comprehensive view of this topic, it's hard for me to give really clear and concise answers without being like a fire hydrant. I know I typed out...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    I actually started in automotive sales. It's interesting. It's not what it once was, though.. Which is both good and bad. The bad part is that it's really uncommon to be a salesperson making six-figures these days (unless you're a hold-over from the old days and have a huge book, or you are just...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    0-2, Thanks for the engagement of the topic, and for a different perspective! Quickly --- Addressing your comment on KBB, as a someone who operates with dealerships, I can tell you that there is no "secret" Blue Book. Kelly Blue Book is an extremely well marketed informational service...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    I just typed a super-long response to some questions, and I feel like I didn't even touch the surface. I like your idea of creating a "system". I was thinking of doing some educational video modules, paired with a standardized worksheet for vehicle inspection that will make the process of...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    Mayana, Thank you SO much! Those are the exact types of questions I am looking for. Good questions get good answers:) First off, I am sorry to hear you were involved in an accident. Never fun, and it always makes for a stressful time-crunch in finding a new car to drive. Don't feel like you...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    Thanks for the reply, Biophase. My goal is to create some AWESOME free content to build a list, and build validity. End goal is to create a comprehensive crash course with everything you would ever need to know about the used car industry - whether buying or selling, whether from a dealer or a...

    @Vigilante Would an AMA on this subject be appropriate?

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    Hey all, I'm not overly active here, as I have been working on side projects as well as my 9-5 (or 12-9, or 6-3, or 10-7...retail hours are meh), but I have come in search of YOUR opinions. I was recently listening to Smart Passive Income (recommended) Podcast number 170 with Remit Sethi, on...

    How Much Would You Pay...

    Secondly, as I mentioned I am currently working hard on a business that will allow me to leave my Slowlane job and pursue this for myself. I was identifying a need that I see in my life and in other's lives, and just talking theoretically about the value of filling that need. I wasn't asking...

    How Much Would You Pay...

    Hypocrisy is preaching one thing yet doing another. My thought was a service that provided accountability and partnerships with entrepreneurs. No hypocrisy intended - we all struggle with motivation at times. I feel that if you don't or haven't struggled with motivation, it could make it hard...

    How Much Would You Pay...

    For a service or application that increased your productivity, focus, and drive? The biggest complaint or underlying issue I see in most people's posts and lives is a lack of continuous motivation to move forward (NEED!!!). I see people with great ideas, who are of a generally capable nature...

    Hey all, I'm trying to navigate the confusing waters of importing goods from china for resale. I have everything lined up with the supplier, but the importation process is more involved than I anticipated. Does anyone have any insight? Hire a customs broker? Who to hire off shipping? It's...

    INTRO 
    A quick update on my progress: After doing extensive research, I have decided to proceed as a sole proprietorship. My business has zero revenues, and the path to an LLC is ridiculously expensive in California. Additionally, I plan on moving out of state in the next year, so I would rather...

    GOLD! 
    Biophase - In a response to my own questions, I have determined the following. Correct me if either of these are incorrect: 1) I need to start as a sole proprietor, in the state of California. I have $0 revenue at this point, and an LLC costs $1,000 to start in California. I can switch later...

    Biophase, I am in the early early stages of starting an e-commerce business. The barrier to entry seems low, but I am in a state of temporary paralysis due to a lack of understanding. I live in lovely, tax-happy California. I have determined that the best thing to do is form an LLC (correct...
