    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Decided to jump in the copy writing freelancing pool as I try to figure some other things out. Started my upwork profile back on Friday, took the weekend to craft my intro profile and write copy about my own copy. After 2-3 revisions, I posted it this morning and already jumping into...

    Not Fulfilled? Depressed? Maybe You Need An Alignment

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Great thread and another INTJ-T checking in. I've known I'm an INTJ-T for years now and can recognize the strengths/weaknesses that come with it, but I'd never heard about the Enneagram test until this thread. "Unfortunately" on the Enneagram Test, I'm a 7-4-1 so I have a lot of learning and...

    $500,000 Side Revenue By 2019 Or Bust - A Crypto Follow Along

    CRYPTO INVESTING HOT! 
    Awesome thread. As someone who threw a couple hundred bucks into BTC/ETH over a year ago I love this thought process. Originally I was thinking of going all in day trading, but that is not my style or desire so I let it sit. Reading about your strategy, small goals/gains, and trying to...

    STOP Paying Rent: Live For Free

    GOLD! REAL ESTATE 
    I was going to, but realized this type of investing wasn't something I was interested in. Also figured if it needed to be corrected or clarified you didn't have to live there, it would have been put in the op.

    STOP Paying Rent: Live For Free

    GOLD! REAL ESTATE 
    This is a great post and something I've pondered for a while. But if I'm not mistaken your numbers are off here... If I'm living at the property, I'm not paying rent there are still $1500 in expenses, but I'm only bringing in $2000 on the property. So my NOI is only $500 with a $1500 mortgage...

    Everything You Need to Know About Sales: Part 1

    MARKETING AMA 
    That last part is true and why I stopped looking towards sales guru's or "successful" salespeople for guidance. Their idea of success is far different than mine especially from a sales aspect. I guess I should have clarified. That is a time based goal and the first step I want to hit where I...

    Everything You Need to Know About Sales: Part 1

    MARKETING AMA 
    I want bigger sales. Even the commercial insurance role I'm in right now, with how the industry is since I'm not with one of the big boy brokerages, I'm kind of hamstrung on the companies I can call on, so my recurring commission can be anywhere from $1k to $8k (max) per account. The best...

    Everything You Need to Know About Sales: Part 1

    MARKETING AMA 
    @Ubermensch as someone who stalks you on this forum (reads everything you post), I wanted to say thanks for this awesome thread. I love sales, overcoming objections, and have been doing different types of sales the past 10 years. Started out direct selling nutritional supplements to medical...

    How I made $185,000.00 in a week.

    EXECUTION 
    Great thread. As someone who seems to have always been fueled by the negative around him, reading how you spin that into success definitely inspires me to keep going in all aspects of life. You mentioned being the broker has come and gone in terms of maximizing success with minimal competition...

    Fantasy Football, 2015-2016 (Smacktalk starts pg 4)

    MEETUPS 
    I'm so confused lol... I went to bed Sunday night after both teams were finished up .7 points. Woke up sill up .7 points yesterday morning. Woke up today as a loss by .2 points even though no one played on either team Sunday or Monday night, and nothing shows up in stat corrections.

    Journey to Passive Income Freedom

    EXECUTION 
    I'll keep posting as long as things keep moving lol. Did some more digging and found the actual supplier for my product on alibaba. Emailed them but haven't heard back. Did hear back from the trading company though so going to get a sample through them. My main concern would be if I need to...

    Journey to Passive Income Freedom

    EXECUTION 
    @Vigilante just wanted to say thanks. That quote opened up my eyes as to what can be done and got me excited again the more I thought about it. I don't want to knock a product off. I want to be original and find things people want but haven't been offered yet. Spent the past few hours...

    Journey to Passive Income Freedom

    EXECUTION 
    So decided to hold off on that item thanks to Vigilante's advice. Kind of put me in a funk though lol, but spent rest of the day looking at products online in general, on alibaba, some niche sales websites, and thinking a ton about what I am knowledgeable in as well. I've been toying with the...

    Awesome thanks for the feedback and that's kind of what I was thinking but wasn't sure if that was the right direction to go or not. Back to the research :)

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I finished the book all the way through last week. I swear I read the first half 3 different times before something distracted me and I put it down and started something else. But last week I finished it front to back and glad I did.
