    Yesterday I hired a cleaning lady to clean my house. I said that I’d like my windows cleaned because my dog puts nose marks all over the sliding doors. When I came home she had cleaned ALL the windows inside and outside! She used a squeegee on a pole to get to the high parts. What’s crazy is...

    Decision to White Label or Private Label my Protein Powder

    SOURCING 
    So the white label powder is good enough for your brand? Are you gonna re-launch your brand after you have your own custom formula? Do you see that you are going to be spending money getting new customers to buy white label powder and then losing them with your custom formula powder. I don’t...

    What was the agreement? Who owns the formula that you paid for? If you can’t sell to college students in person, how are you going to sell it at all? College males would be the perfect demographic for more protein! Just go into a gym and talk to them. Tell them it’s 50% off and part of a new...

    Decision to White Label or Private Label my Protein Powder

    SOURCING 
    So you are going to ask people who normally drink orange juice to spend $80 on orange flavored protein powder? Seems like a super hard sell. Why don’t you make an unflavored powder for them to mix into their orange juice then? I drink 4 protein shakes a day right now. Mostly chocolate...

    Decision to White Label or Private Label my Protein Powder

    SOURCING 
    The manufacturer is doing this for free right? Meaning you didn’t pay them to come up with your perfect formulation. So they are assuming you would order with them? $43 and even $36 seems like a lot for protein powder? You would have to sell these at $99 retail? What would you expect the price...

    The past few years I just watch YouTubers walk around and learn about products from them lol. I only go if one of my friends happens to be in the show for work.

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    I was listening to a podcast who had a crypto guy as a guest. The host asked him where he would invest his money now and he said the first thing he would do is buy a primary residence in a very desirable real estate area. He used New York Manhattan as an example he said the people coming...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    My home in Scottsdale is in a pretty nice neighborhood and it was sitting empty. My friend’s home got flooded due to a pipe leak. I let her move into my house for three months, and then she moved back into her house once it was fixed. She lives in a small 2br house. A few days ago she told me...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    I don’t think this implies that the homeowner has $400k due to their in equity as their main net worth. It’s probably more because a homeowner would have a higher paying job, was able to save for a down payment, which shows decent financial management ability and most importantly good credit

    Opportunities in Pickleball?

    IDEA 
    Being a biased pickleball player. $12m isn’t that much for 30 courts. Vegas has sunset park which is one of the best pickleball complexes I’ve even seen. 24 courts and lights till 11pm with plenty of room for everyone. It’s crowded from 6am to 11pm most days. You could argue it’s one of the...

    First ideas - am I making any sense?

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    If you can’t afford to spend $60 on art supplies, how were you going to fund the candle making or soaps? Here in the USA you can buy a 48”x60” canvas for $35, which could sell for $500 when done. Of course it all depends on your art. But I’d gladly buy an original painting of that size for $500...

    First ideas - am I making any sense?

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    I vote for giving art a shot as you’re on a limited budget. Your cost of goods in it is just a canvas and time. The potential markup is 10-20x. It’s not fastlane as you are the labor manufacturer but on those margins you can build a nest egg quick. Compare one art piece to your candles. Which...

    Opportunities in Pickleball?

    IDEA 
    Many places require a DUPR rating to get into more competitive games. The algorithm is very inaccurate at the beginning. I don’t know if they use AI. The only data points they have is opponent and partner DUPR and the game score. Interestingly, the algo can’t accommodate local skill level so a...

    Opportunities in Pickleball?

    IDEA 
    I can see that. I think there’s currently an app that will track all your shots and show close line calls. I believe it uses AI to determine the type of shot, whether it’s a dink or drop or drive.

    If you look at this in the context of working out, the hard work is actually going to the gym, and then actually moving weights while you’re there. Doing just one or the other “hard” doesn’t get results, doing both of them together on a consistent basis will. Imagine that you go into the gym...

    XRP should I invest or is it a waste of time?

    CRYPTO 
    You just reminded me that I have some of it in an old account and couldn’t do anything with it as it was locked from trading for years. Time to sell and go buy me something for Xmas!

    Make Tariffs great again? At least for someone?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    They will but not enough to make a difference if that’s your only edge. If you import a $20 product, and the tariff is $5 now and it’s increased to $12. The cost difference for the importer is $25 vs $32. If the markup is 4x, then the price would be $100 vs $128. So what are you going to do...
