    Since so many of you are trying to become rich, are any of you taking steps to socially groom into the elite class?

    NASA scientist to Ecomm Girl, completely FREED from slowlane!!!

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Why would I be trolling? I thought this forum was supposedly full of people who accept this mentality? And I’m not OVER confident. I have good planning, excellent execution and quite a brain. What isn’t possible?

    NASA scientist to Ecomm Girl, completely FREED from slowlane!!!

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    The plan is to open the restaurants and write the book after being stupid rich, and each one at a time, not all at the same time of course! I don’t plan to make a living from those endeavors at all. Those are passion projects, but I’m planning ahead since I will hit “stupid rich” in a matter of...

    Yes I think Elon Musk is my spirit animal. When I read his biography I felt a connection like finally someone understood me. We’ll probably be friends eventually I think.

    NASA scientist to Ecomm Girl, completely FREED from slowlane!!!

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    I don’t think of it as quitting but about going off to learn new skills so I can come back to science as a better person who can actually contribute meaningfully. I know I have a large role to play in the science world in the future, and I observed how many decades it would take to become a...

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    Learning by reading and learning by action is not mutually exclusive. Reading can certainly be a shortcut. Steering someone away from a “bad” book is mostly an egotistical endeavor when that book is highly rated by many other people who say they have obtained great value from it...Such as most...

    NASA scientist to Ecomm Girl, completely FREED from slowlane!!!

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    20+ jobs I’ve had so far, at the tender age of 28 now running an ecomm business with complete freedom! I spend months traveling at a time for fun. 1.5 years ago, was stuck in 9-5 working contracts on the Mars mission for NASA after training a lifetime in academia. It was the dream job, but I...

    Intentionally Changing Your Mindset

    MINDSET 
    I pick the best rated book on the topic and go through the exercises. Voila, changed mindset! Usually involves seeing your mindset for what it really is, the data to see why that is wrong, or perhaps it’s because of your upbringing, then having a lot of examples to draw from to affirm the new...

    Accepting The Hard Parts?

    MINDSET 
    Normal people are just not into the sort of pain and hard work it takes; do not compare yourself to them! Compare yourself to the ultra successful, you will see all that they have suffered! Hope that makes you feel better. We are all hustling like crazy on here. I learned to just stop...

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    Gee so many people posted on here a lot of hate on books that literally changed my life. I’ve read almost all mentioned and they impact me in at least ONE way...one idea or nugget of wisdom always sticks years down the road. I don’t think you should listen to the naysayers, read Amazon reviews...

    What's Wrong With My Bookcase?

    The exact number is anecdotal but it’s true that CEOs read many more books a year than the average person, with such people as warren buffet and bill gates reading way over that amount. I read over 60 a year on many business related topics, run a full time business, and it only takes 1-2 hours a...

    Accepting The Hard Parts?

    MINDSET 
    It is normal. It’s always going to be hard. Deciding to do something is different than being totally committed. Just keep telling yourself you’re 100% committed and you’re going to do it no matter what. You already committed. No time to waste, action is the only possible route forward now! Also...

    What's Wrong With My Bookcase?

    The average CEO reads 60 books a year! So there’s nothing wrong with your bookshelf. In fact it is great that you’re spending so much time with these great people, it really widens your reference group. Such that when you have awesome business ideas or work crazy hours of the entrepreneur life...

    Or you can hire some massage therapists right into your office. Then use “free massage” to introduce people into your business. Train the masseuses to look for areas that the patient could benefit from as they are massaging the patient. “I notice your upper back needs work! Our chiropractic can...

    Ramit Sethi - "I TEACH YOU TO BE RICH" - how legitimate?

    BOOKS 
    I read “I will teach you to be rich” and loved it! It teaches some great real life personal finance management skills, such as budgeting, saving, opening separate bank accounts, phone negotiation, and stuff you actually use in every day life. ultimately I saved $800/year through some of the...

    What is the best Skill to have to get Rich?

    HOT! 
    Of course, being a good salesman does not guarantee wealth or every good car salesman would be a millionaire. But there are no successful entrepreneurs who are not good at sales. Even if you’re a geeky software developer, at some point you need to sell your vision to the people you recruit and...

    My FBA journey

    EXECUTION 
    Good luck it is a hell of a tough field to play but so worth it if you can get it right! As Scott says the most important thing is to TAKE ACTION ^_~. I only have a 1:10 success rate of launched products making any sort of good lasting profit after PPC and all fees and shipping. So just keep...

    Ecommerce Profit Margins?

    It depends entirely on your business model. There’s so many ways to make money in Ecomm. If you wholesale products the profit can be as low as 5%, leaving little room for error. My private label products get me ~20%. With dropshipping you can do well too, that is lowest risk. My advice for...

    What is the best Skill to have to get Rich?

    HOT! 
    Yah sales is nearly the ONLY skill you need to have. The rest falls into place after sales. But the fundamental is always sales because all money in the world comes from transactions. You can learn any skill to help you but if you can’t get the sale then your business is still at 0. This is...
