    Id go with Brightpearl or Fulfil depending on which fits better for your business. Once you scale you can move to Netsuite

    Keeping this moving... With the business, hiring, refining processes, and getting into the right position to scale. Still up over last year. Really trying to get all our products in stock and get the product pipeline rolling. Business is more mental at this level than physical, not sure how...

    I would focus on probably four things depending on where you want to end up in life. 1. Get jacked - This builds confidence... start on rippletoes starting strength and then move to madcow 5x5 and get to a 225 bench/315 squat/405 deadlift within a couple years. Then look at moving into more...

    This is exactly the feeling man - i sold all my "investment" properties that served their purpose and paid for my house, all my payments now coming from CC points. So im technically out nothing to own the house. I could have done it a long time ago but there is so much guilt associated with...

    I only let my gut make the decisions. I probably reject 97% of the people that want to work here. The majority are lazy, they only care about money, they're here to punch a clock and make cash to F*ck off the rest of their life. There is no purpose in their lives. I only hire people that can...

    Sure, I spent two hours with my coach today working through this topic. We are prisoners of our minds. Our beliefs, our systems, you were raised in a system that formed your beliefs, habits, structures. A good example of this is my parents beat into me that I had to do my homework and to not...

    One other thing. I think you should read this twice. The difference between scarcity and abundance and your mental state. The first week I moved into this house, I was incredibly uncomfortable. I had old embedded thought patterns of me not deserving this, people like me don't come from places...

    Moved in. Got my new gym/sauna/plunge en route. I think the neighbors are all thoroughly confused. Everyone is 20+ years older than me, doctors, dentists, senators with families. Really nice people but the reactions are entertaining. My housekeeper lost her shit today lol, she's been with me for...

    Thank you all! My answer to this is yes. I think you should do everything and learn. Investing taught me so much in so many areas of my life and i still do invest, I just own commercial real estate now. We listed my properties yesterday and they're all pending with cash offers which feels good...

    In the process of simplifying my life and selling my small properties I bought myself a new house. I should close in a week. For the last 9 years ive only lived in investment properties and its served me well. I started with a duplex and sacrificed nights, weekends, friends, family and the...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I know the OP was deleted, but I think they should stay. People should see that mindset and if it resonates with you. You should be terrified - what a great wake up call. The arch of achievement is the purpose. To start with nothing... poor... and wonder if you can make it is part of the...

    Little update. Gym/Warehouse is done - we're moved in and operating, pacing 60m this year, more if we can scale spend and acquire more customers. Around 50 employees. I acquired the back 10 acres and the steel building so I need to finish plans and get the construction loan in progress there...

    I had a really good mentor and self taught myself everything and connected with the right people to learn the right things. So my degree didn't serve me, thats not to say it wont serve you. I dont think the degree is the issue - higher education is there to make you a more critical/educated...

    This mentality isn't going to do it. I never had this mentality - if anything I smoked everyone with it... Start with how you think about what you think. Then start.

    Thank you, ill make another thread one of these days summarizing the past few years of everything together. Yes, I workout 5-6x per week. I think there was a level of not understanding what success looked like so anything could potentially work, a level of desperation, and a level of smooth...

    Lazy people bred lazy people and resentment towards me. I was desperate for people and let it go on for too long. My expectations leave lazy people angry and they hate me. The manager I hired was a loser and I should have let him go within the first two weeks.

    Thanks man, Initially not smooth at all - I had a pretty bad warehouse manager who pretty much ruined 90% of the warehouse staff. So they've all quit or ive fired them (about 10 total) now the team is awesome. I didnt realize how toxic the group had gotten. Moving forward, im just putting them...

    Sorry bro, didnt see this. Yes, we will - I need to hire a director of international and the acquisition would mean I would bring the company into the US unless my CPAs/Attorneys say not to. The factory is based in Estonia and that would remain and operate as a subsidiary of my parent company...

    I run low autos too, but If i were you id pull your exacts and phrase into their own campaigns for your heavy hitting keywords and target them manually. Also testing CPC retargeting via sponsored has been really interesting - its basically like FB retargeting.
