    You Can't Outsmart ACTION! (How We Were So Wrong!)

    MINDSET 
    I often hear people say you need $20-$50K to get going in e-comm, where do you think that opinion comes from? You two seem to feel differently, so just curious.

    What are some overlooked business markets because of the startup capital required?

    Could target boring offline businesses, use SBA loans, seller financing, etc to cut a nice deal while maintaining majority ownership.

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    I've loved this idea of newsletters for a while now. A few I've thought of: 1. I've had SOME success with NFTs. No BAYC or anything, but I did flip one so far for a 100x, and I'm consistently finding myself in good groups. Lots of competition of course with NFTs, it seems like people would...

    Crippling fear of asking for money. 8 years building and never launching my products.

    IDEA 
    What's your idea? I have a brilliant idea for you that will help: Get a sales job. Be an SDR. You know what I learned? It's just as hard to ask someone for their time, as it is their money. You'll break it when you have to call a high level director for a Fortune 500 company, out of the blue...

    Can an entrepreneur ever own a dog?

    HOT! 
    We got a dog in December, he's definitely the most challenging dog I've ever had. He's insanely smart, very hyper, and has some serious separation anxiety. If I was alone, I'm really not sure. But I have someone else by my side who can assist with watching him. I'd imagine there are some...

    What Are You Excited About?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm in the US, and moved to California a few years ago after living in the midwest my whole life. I won't stay here due to ridiculous living expenses, but after getting more comfortable with the ocean and getting into boogie boarding, it is an addiction. It would be incredible to own a home...

    Time Investment To Get Product Developed & Approved?

    I'm looking into an opportunity to form a partnership where we see promise, but we would need to develop the product & get it approved in order to get it out to the end user (this is in the healthcare space). I'm new to both of these situations, and I understand that the range can be broad for...

    27 years old, $140K in the bank and but feel broke

    INTRO 
    Sounds nice and all inspirational, but if he doesn't have any clue on where to start at this point, then your advice on making him quit his job immediately just did nothing for him except make him lose money. Why would you do that when you can still accomplish these goals while making money from...

    Are you still here? That would be great, because you are in a better position than you think you are from my perspective. @Ronak gave a fantastic response here. Why do you have to quit your job? I'm in software sales too, same age.. I'm curious how much time you have vs me. Would be a great...

    B2B things to know about your clients

    MARKETING 
    Ah, understood. Do you meet a lot of clients virtually, or in person? Seems like in person based off your initial post. I think a lot of it just comes up over time during the conversation. A couple examples (mine are virtual meetings): - One of my prospects often had a Chick-Fil-A drink in...

    B2B things to know about your clients

    MARKETING 
    I've been selling B2B for a while now. This does depend on what your selling, but I often find that the points you listed are pretty awkward conversation starters with prospects (those who you want to do business with, and don't currently have a relationship with). So how about this instead...

    Quit my job after reading MJ DeMarco's book

    MINDSET FTE 
    No reason to quit your job if you have no business creating income, unless that job leaves you with absolutely zero time to spend on the business, or you have a massive savings stack. Even then, you’d already need an idea that you are starting to put into motion to make it worth it. Use the job...

    Going to bump one of my favorite threads. The WSJ is growing on me, and today when I opened it, it seems like there are fires.. fires everywhere. Greece, California fires, etc.. all while there is a shortage due to low pay for firefighters. Talk about solving a huge need, and I know there are...

    What job would you recommend a newbie to get?

    Who said easy? You didn’t have to do any sales to get your first customers? Even if so, you are in the minority. It’s good advice for basically everyone here to learn sales, I just like the idea of getting paid well while doing it. Definitely agree with other routes as well.
