    Portfolio up 46% in the last 24 hours. A depression is the time when you put more money to average dollar cost your whole investment.

    Steps to Building a Fashion BRAND - Beyond Simple Logistics

    EXECUTION 
    Awesome thread, love the energy. I totally agree with you, building a business is this weird mixture of adrenaline rush and fearful desperation. I have been helping some clothing brands in Brazil by sourcing materials, and I can say is that people need to stop focusing on China so much unless...

    Now is probably one of the last chances to buy alts dirt cheap. BTC is already -6% today. After Segwit2x, major dip as investors take profits and move to alts. Then, institutional investors get in (google CME bitcoin) and save the day. BOOM. BTC ends the year at 10k.

    My portfolio is down 40-50% from 10 days ago. I own a lot of altcoins, so BTC's price rising is bad news short-term. However, I expect that once the price of BTC stabilizes, say 3-5 weeks, we should see a major sell-off in Bitcoin flowing into alts. Don't sell at a loss. Hodl.

    Keep it simple and stupid

    EXECUTION 
    UPDATE: Got them the product, they were literally jumping. Kinda freaked them out how a 19 year old was able to find a product none of their other suppliers could. So, we already discussed new products. Since this is an industry I am also a user of the product, it is fairly easy, I just have to...

    Take action. Really. All the books, the theory, they only make sense when you practice it. Terms like FOB, EXW, FIPO, first-in first-out, rate of return, stock turnover only matter when you are applying them daily. As @Andy Black says, if you consuming more than you are producing, you are...

    "Focus on giving and receiving value" The rest will become amazingly simple.

    EXECUTION 
    Wow, last time I updated this was september. Okay, well, so here is what has happened: I continued to import 3-5 shipments until January, I partnered with the two biggest suppliers of this supplement so I would get a commission every time they sold. And after two months, I realized...

    Hi, I have tests done by third party labs when the substance gets to Brazil. The only reason why I didn't want Customs to seize is that the government is slow in Brazil, were they to analyze it, it would take me over 3 months (with luck!) to get hands on my product.

    Keep it simple and stupid

    EXECUTION 
    It has been a couple of weeks since I have updated this thread, but by no means I have forgotten. Finally today I have received my samples. Just because you keep simple and stupid, doesn't mean it will be fast. It doesn't mean there won't be problem. It means that you aren't going to let those...

    My Experience with Modafinil

    HEALTH 
    Of course. Modafinil is great, but it is only a short-term solution. Modafinil is great on the beginning phase of a project, where you have the most workload, but after that initial workload you don't really need that much "concentrated power", what you need is a daily boost to handle the...

    My Experience with Modafinil

    HEALTH 
    Tried moda and basically all other "famous" nootropics out there. I haven't found modafinil addictive, nor anything that corrobates that. What I have found, like weed, is a psychological dependency where people "claim" they can't work without it. Personally, I find it to be heavy. Modafinil's...

    EXECUTION 
    Some people messaged me saying "You exchanged an e-mail with a supplier, got their bank account and just transferred them money?" Well...yeah. "What if they scam you?" I don't think they will. Since transferring the money, I have found out they are the supplier for most supplement stores in...

    How I build a fully automated money making machine

    I like the idea, but I have a few questions if you don't mind: Is what you are doing legal? A lot of market movements, especially in day trading, are moved by "emotional forces" rather the logical ones, how does your system "fights" that so your clients don't lose money? Are you thinking...

    Keep it simple and stupid

    EXECUTION 
    The beauty of what I did is that I have very little marketing. The community I am in already wants the product. I also know the main seller in the community, and he has told me that if I wanted to put products in his website, it would be no problem. I will probably use this in this trial run to...

    I want to be on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Man, I am amazed at how opportunities just fly around and people never get to see them. You cut hairs right? Don't you talk to your customers when you cut their hair? Ask them what they don't like about the experience (in your place or in general). Ask your manager/owner what are his...

    Indeed, I don't mention any price figures until the third e-mail. I simply tell them about my company and that I am interested in bringing their product to the brazilian market.

    Be indifferent to where you live Having lived in many different countries, I must say, the most important thing is how you live with yourself. Too many times we project on the environment surrounding us, faults within ourselves. We move, and feel happy for a while, only to realize in a...
