    we have to grow otherwise life does whatever it wants to you. "One in ten make $50,000, one in a thousand crosses a million, few pass $10 million. Many are called but few are chosen.”

    I have $1,000, should I invest? Save? Buy hazmat suit?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I haven't read any quality books? come on bro. If someone wants to read a book to learn how to program in javascript, or, or to learn medicine - read a book. But the vast majority of "what it takes" to be an entrepreneur isn't something that can be learned in a book anymore than the vast...

    I have $1,000, should I invest? Save? Buy hazmat suit?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    It's not like, when you are faced with a difficult decision, you are going to look back at some $10 book you read and know what to do. People don't behave the way they do based on what they read in books, but based on experience. Reading business books when you only have $1000 to your name is...

    I have $1,000, should I invest? Save? Buy hazmat suit?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Reading business books when you have $1000 to your name is a waste of time. If you're making less than $1 million per year you don't need to read anything or follow anyone. Just work, do what you can, and learn the minimum bits and pieces you need to execute. That's it. That's how you do it.

    Amazon is not worth it, I've failed and therefore, it works for NOBODY. Yes, NOBODY!

    HOT! EXECUTION RANT 
    Selling on Amazon has low barrier entry which means everyone and their mother is your competitor. Entering a saturated market with low barriers to entry is always a bad idea. You always want significant barriers to entry in any business you get involved in, and you want to be one of the few...

    Are business/self-help books a waste of time?

    HOT! 
    Honestly, there aren't any books worth reading for an entrepreneur. It's not like, when you are faced with a difficult decision, you are going to look back at some book you read and know what to do. People don't behave the way they do base on what they read in books, but based on experience...

    Fox's 2019 Make $100k Starting Web Design from Scratch Challenge

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Web design is getting harder and harder to be viable unless they need something really unique. Wordpress, Squarespace, etc.. make it incredibly easy to avoid the $3000+ for a unique site design.

    Is Elon Musk a fraud?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Tesla loses money on every car they make. Fanboys of Musk try to counter this by saying Tesla reports they have gross margins in excess of 20 percent. They say this because they think companies operate without SG&A expenses and ignore R&D. You must count SG&A expenses unless you believe that...

    Is Elon Musk a fraud?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    If you know anything about R&D and SG&A costs(Most people who worship Musk don't) you'd know that Musk's' companies are worthless. Musk might be the greatest marketer of all time.

    12 hours a day for 1k month is horrible. If you have a large social circle and know a little photoshop you can easily make 800-$1200/month forging documents.

    Agree or Disagree: Entrepreneurship is a privilege

    Your financial status is largely predetermined by birth. John Paul Getty- then the 'richest man in the world' Said this: “In building a large fortune, it pays to be born at the right time. I was born at a very favorable time. If I had been born earlier or later, I would have missed the...

    How To ACTUALLY Get Freelance Clients: Free Leads Across The USA From Craigslist

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Stop replying to people's ads and start writing ads that will get people to reply to you. I never message people individually because 1. It would take forever. 2. I'd be dealing with people who weren't qualified properly. 3. Shady marketers create ads for list building. The best way to...

    What if you already know enough?

    NOTABLE! 
    I disagree. The root cause of trouble in business is failure to gain facts—incontrovertible and unshakeable facts. I buy $900 industry market research reports and read everything I can about a client's business, so when I go into a meeting I have the facts. This is no lazy man's field.

    In terms of limitations, where do you draw the line for your different price points? Like for a $1000/month client, do you limit them to 1 campaign with 20 different ads and assistance with 3 landing pages? How do you break down your limits to prevent abuse?
