    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! ASSERTION 
    I am currently in the process of deciding for myself, if it would be a smart choice from a financial perspective to buy a home for myself, as I am in the position to do so. Half way through a book called "Buy or Rent?" but it's from a German author, only available in German language so far...

    Last income in July. Decision

    IDEA 
    That's great, very manageable. Beyond what you've written, even if they were very supportive of your plan, if they are not entrepreneurs they probably are going to ask you all the time 'how is it going?' I had lots of ups and downs and if you hadn't had success so far, the constant questioning...

    Last income in July. Decision

    IDEA 
    Hi @DreamLund Do I understand it correctly that you just need to spent $700-800 per month to keep living on your own? When I did just start to get my ecommerce business going, I did move out and got something called "Minijob" in Germany. It's less time than part-time, I think I worked about...

    Thank you, @MJ DeMarco - I really appreciate your reply. Your book did change my life for the better, and it is the number 1 book I recommend to everyone who is asking me on how to start a business. I have more clarity now on what I need to look for when choosing my next venture. @WJK - Your...

    Thank you. It's great that you are working on something that you enjoy so much you'd start it again if you sold. I think you made the right choice then. Finding that thing for myself should be my focus I think, as it will long-term probably be the most fulfilling. What an impressive life...

    Thank you, wishing the same to you. :) Thank you for your input, Mike. I will read up on some of @Kak 's posts. I've read through my posts again and you are right that I box myself in too much, because I have experience in ecommerce and pretty much nothing else. That's probably the first...

    **I didn’t want to make the first post too long, if you are interested, here are my reasons why I have not committed to any of the mentioned projects.** Buying a SMB: I still like the idea but I have mainly looked at eCommerce businesses for sale. Ideally I’d like to stay location independent...

    Let me first emphasize that I am not complaining and I am very thankful to be in the spot that I am. My reason for this post is to maybe get some input from other experienced members who are/were in a similar position. It’s been a little over one year now since I sold one of my eCommerce...

    How to decide between heart and brain?

    IDEA MARKETING 
    I've not read your other thread but you are most likely right that selling perfume (online) is much harder because people can't test if they like the smell beforehand & can't return a used bottle. Something I found recently was snif.co - maybe you can do something similar with your brand. They...

    Fastlane Successes outside the USA?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There are a lot of hyper-successful fastlane ventures here that basically just copied a successful company from the US in a 'foreign' country. I feel like this is getting harder and harder to do, as the world is getting more connected and with things like Amazon FBA it's pretty easy for any US...

    Leveraging your brand for more sales

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for making this thread. I was wondering, besides choosing the right products for the specific customer group, what else did you do in your 8-figure brand to build brand authority? Did you do anything off-amazon like building an audience on Instagram, posting helpful blog articles for your...

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    Thank you very much for your in-depth, long reply. It really all makes sense for me and with the next brand I'll use your approach of thinking about a specific group of people first and then identifying products which could make my brand an authority for these people. Looking back I did choose...
