    6 Months Ago, Dropping Out of College Would Have Been a Nightmare...

    PEOPLE 
    I was one of the young guns that fought readily on this forum about the pro-college mindset. In approximately 30 days, while sipping on pineapple juice in Bali, Indonesia, I will be putting my college career on hold while I'm pursuing something that exhilarates me. Things seem to be taking on...

    Also, on this topic, how would you gain confidence on whether something will sell or not before launching?

    I didn't intend to trial the product in order to test the market or because of uncertainty. I am trialing because that's what I've gathered about the process of selling in E-commerce from you, @Eskil, and @Vigilante, which I thought was: 1) Find a product you think you can improve 2) Create a...

    $6.63/unit. And that makes sense, because manufacturers require me to "link" them to a supplier of any ingredients that they don't have in-house. I've found some mannys won't even do customizations with me unless I have a business tax id. What would you recommend? Is biting the bullet and...

    @biophase I've been pushing a list of potential manufacturers to negotiate an initial sample order that is under their MOQ (mannys in this industry have MOQ 1,000-10,000). They all have either flat-out rejected, moseyed around the question with no definite answer, or simply not answered to the...

    All the stock price of a company is, by definition, is "The NET PRESENT VALUE of all expected future cash flows from dividends of that company" (In Finance, capital gains technically don't account for the stock's value). With that being said, anytime the value of a stock lowers, all that is...

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I really want to go to the next one. I've been trying to get to the Summit for awhile, but I'm only now becoming "of age" for these events. I'm on it. Mind if I PM you once I land that first one?

    This is what my mind is learning how to do. I get discouraged easily, and it's been a wild year learning how to tell distractors to screw off. Thanks for the song. I'm an instrumentalist, and this song drives me every day. Maybe it'll drive you:

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    You have the perfect timing. Just got off the phone with my partner, and we made some major decisions in the direction of our supplement line so that we can get our damn brand on Amazon. Thank you so much @LightHouse for the slap in the face. I WISH YOU WOULD SLAP ME HARDER (Not masochistic I...

    MINDSET 
    One of the most invigorating (and painful) self-reflections I have is when I see myself caving, growing complacent, or going against my natural ambitions to fight on. People severely underestimate how badly life and society want you to fall in line and agree with the status quo. Just recently...

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I don't mean to dig this topic up from the grave, @Eskil , but I have questions concerning your back-end, non-Amazon sales funnel. Are leads to the landing page coming independently from Adwords, or is there a connection or path you're making for Amazon buyers? What landing page SaaS do you...

    What are the limitations of building a brand with packaging quality when you are going through FBA? Do they allow you to customize or make luxury packaging for products?

    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    Could you elaborate more on the differences between Prestashop and other platforms like Shopify? Anything that is free usually has major drawbacks on the back-end, so it would be nice to know about it in advance before I try it out in the coming months.

    Good news on the topic of E-Commerce Ventures :) My friend is a representative for a major industry retailer and distributor. I asked him to forward my Value Proposition and Sales Video to the CEO of the company to see if he would be interested in making me a vendor. HE REPLIED!!! He told my...

    Pardon my inexperience, but could you elaborate a little more on these disadvantages? I don't necessarily understand some of them. And these are disadvantages for choosing or not choosing Spotify?

    It is called The Banker's Code: The Most Powerful Wealth Building Strategies Ever Known by George Antone. Of course, take it with a grain of salt, because he tailors the book a little to "Get Rich Quick" Junkies... Though I think he does a great job of leaving a lot of it vague, and saying stuff...

    Does Shopify par well with Landing Pages? I'm launching via Amazon, and have a local community of friends and peers that are willing to launch the sales rank up. With that being said, I'd also like to maintain an E-Commerce website for sake of experimenting with Google's Shopping features. You...

    I think I made a mistake. I started via hosting through GoDaddy and using Wordpress for the front-end. I'm stuck. I can't use any of Wordpress's themes or templates because they are all blog-based. @Vigilante would it be more efficient long-term to tank the Wordpress option completely and...
