    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    It seems like everyday I'm trying to convince myself that social media is something necessary, but I'm finding fewer reasons to use it. Both for personal and business reasons. It's to the point where I don't have any social media app on my phone anymore and I don't miss it at all.

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Awesome book. I have both the audio version and the e-book to go back to specific parts I want to re-read. Finished the whole thing via audio in about a week and a half during my commutes each day.

    I want to be world-class but don't want the world-class effort! Tell me how!

    MINDSET RANT 
    Ironically, a lot of the "anti-job" sentiment tends to come from folks with a Sidewalk mentality. I can't tell you how many folks get involved with some sort of MLM or other form of "business in a box" program where they spend all day talking about how they've decided to "be their own boss" or...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I'm in the process of re-reading it. I read it for the first time about 5 years ago. In all honesty, I don't think I was mature enough to really understand the depth the book had back then. But now, everything is clicking for me.

    CES 2015

    OFF-TOPIC 
    On a slightly related note, the "reviews" on this Amazon listing had me dying laughing. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L403O8U/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20 "I was able to purchase this amazing television with an FHA loan (30 year fixed-rate w/ 4.25% APR) and only 3.5% down. This is, hands down, the...

    Based on how quickly they progressed last year, I predict that 4K TVs will become more common and slightly more affordable by Black Friday. They've already got 8K TVs too.

    The rarest Reddit find of all... actual gold. (Legendary Comic)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    That reminds me of my time as a real estate wholesaler. I, like most people, got caught up in the hype given out by Gurus who had YouTube channels, ebooks, blogs, etc. But it wasn't until I actually started doing it that I realized that these people were making more money off of selling the...

    The Profit, entrepreneur business turnaround show on CNBC

    HOT! 
    Yeah the most recent episode with the family clothing boutique was a bit overdramatic. The family drama seemed to overshadow the actual business aspect. It played out like an episode of Dr. Phil. Same goes for the last episode as well (which is oddly no longer available on Hulu).

    The most recent episode of The Profit is a sidewalker's symphony

    The main thing I've learned from The Profit and even Shark Tank is owning a business doesn't make you a business person anymore than owning a rifle makes you a hunter. In the wrong hands, it's a disaster and nothing but trouble. And what OP reported about the daughter doesn't surprise me. She...

    Quick Hustle: How I made $2,000 on Teespring

    Some good stuff. I've been looking for a new hustle to try and fund my main business. I'll actually give this a try this week.

    Where can you add value? 750 Subreddits to help your search.

    Nice stuff. Reminds me of that infographic someone made of all the niche sites based on all of the categories on craigslist.

    How long did it take you to bench press 225?

    HEALTH 
    Well this thread pretty much turned out as I expected lol. Pissing contests aside, took me about 2 years. I started lifting at 18 when I bought my own weight set. I followed Joe Defranco's WS4SB and built some decent muscle. Fast forward to today, I'm not as concerned about my lift numbers...

    Oil Hits A Low Of 81.32!

    INVESTING 
    Was wondering why gas was slowing dropping around here. Not complaining though lol. I'm in the Atlanta area, and many of the gas stations have been around the $3.15 mark consistently the past few weeks.

    Looking to sell my popular Instagram account (200k followers soon), where to sell it other than Ebay

    SOCIAL MEDIA WEB/DIGITAL 
    Maybe you could continue to grow the follower count and then have people in your niche pay your to promote their services in the account. Essentially getting ad revenue from people paying you per post or something. Plenty of people with 1 million+ followers do it. Just an idea.

    Broke? Try Ebay...

    HOT! 
    Me personally, I've moved away from selling on ebay after doing it since 2006. I know this thread is from four years ago so things have definitely changed in that time. Ebay now takes 10% from the final selling price and PayPal actually takes an additional 2.9% + $.30 for everytime money is...

    Shark Tank Master Thread, Episode Discussion

    HOT! 
    I think the biggest reason was because they were in the toy industry which is incredibly competitive. And holiday seasons are make or break for toys. Having Sharks on board and the exposure of the show will definitely help in that regard. But they probably wouldn't have hammered in the sell...

    HOT! 
    Sell through is basically the ratio of what you send to a retailer vs what is actually sold in the stores. That's one of the double edged swords with retail. Just because your product is in Toys R Us doesn't guarantee it'll all sell. That's what they meant. They wanted to see that what they...
