    Has MJs thoughts changed on outsourcing?

    WEB DESIGN 
    As MJ said above, I can't re-call a time in any of his books when he mentions outsourcing is bad. Do you have a specific page(s) you're referencing? I believe in the Fastlane book MJ mentions the time value of money as well, so if your time is worth $100/hour you shouldn't be doing $5-$20/hr...

    My lawyers are too much

    QUESTION 
    Why did you hire a lawyer to do a trademark? Trademarking is a little bit harder than creating an LLC but I think it took me 30-60 mins to do a trademark. I highly suggest using chatgpt for stuff like this going forward.

    [Question] What Are You Working Towards Right Now?

    QUESTION 
    Hey Scott man! I'm on the e-comm side, and have been involved in martial arts fairly consistently for the past 10 years. Actually just got my jiu jitsu blue belt last year in July. For a long time I was aimlessly wondering from business to business - just starting multiple things at once, all...

    [Question] What Are You Working Towards Right Now?

    QUESTION 
    Personally, I'm working towards building up sales on my 1st product release on my new business and networking more. For a long time I was on a "lone wolf" grind, and while it got me in a really good place, just got too lonely.

    Google Ads vs Facebook Ads in 2023: Pros & Cons?

    MARKETING 
    For e-commerce I've had the most success with influencer campaigns. I don't think Google Ads in your instance would be better, maybe running FB ads with UGC videos would work better and getting your product in the hands and posts of those who have a ton of followers on the platform(s) your...

    I AM GOING TO GIVE MORE VALUE THAN AMAZON

    MINDSET 
    If OP isnt a troll this post could be a masterclass on the effects of giving participation ribbons to kids in school. Love to see younger kids ambitious but put down the books, go make your first $100 and then make a real progress thread before spamming the forum.

    Offline Business Ideas. Is Online Business Oversaturated?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Offline businesses are generally a lot more labor intensive but much easier to get work for. If you have any business sense at all, you can generate 1,000 business leads quick and run a few cold email tests with Woodpecker or Lemlist to see what businesses in your area need the most help with...

    HOT! CHAT 
    Exactly this. Very similiar boat, I was 90 lbs in 10th grade HS. 185 lbs now. Food is everything for weight loss and gain, main thing is track your calories and protein with an app. I use cronometer which is free and lets you scan barcodes.

    Are you able to fit a boxing/kickboxing class into your schedule a few times a week? Could be great exercise and gets you out of the house learning a new skills in a new environment with new people. Good on you for counting calories too and not just "eating healthy foods" like many people do.

    What would y'all do if you were 16?

    OFF-TOPIC QUESTION 
    I'd focus on finishing HS, running a local service business (potentially a part time sales job too at a supplement or phone store just to get a grasp of basic sales), lifting a lot, building a network, and learning kickboxing/jiu jitsu. Hard to go wrong with that combo.

    Advice Needed: How to get over public humiliation?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is standard in the corporate world. You just have to know when to leave, have an in-demand skill set and be able to interview well for whatever comes next. As far as what you can do? Start understanding these things aren't about you, its about them. When I read your original post I don't...

    Finished E-commerce Site. Products almost ready, what can I do in the meantime?

    QUESTION 
    Google Ads would probably target better for a very small niche. In terms of what can you be doing - have you created a following on a platform your audience often visits?

    How to learn to delegate? Who to hire?

    QUESTION 
    I started delegating by outsourcing tasks that are worth less than my hourly rate that provide no long term value. This could be things not related to your business at first. Instacart for groceries, grubhub for lunch/dinner, and hiring an assistant to run errands/clean your place. Then a...

    New job or stay put?

    MINDSET 
    Its good that you're having the self reflection of previous business failures to move you forward. $110k/year should be more than enough to support you unless you're in a HCOL area. Your only real challenge at this point is somehow escaping the golden handcuffs. If your sales and marketing...

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Go door to door and offer to pull weeds, clean windows, or help with literally any outdoor task. You'll make that money in one day and actually learn something from door knocking.

    Anxiety is normal.. full blown panic attacks probably not. Panic attacks definitely need to be addressed immediately. Speaking as someone who had panic attacks 5+ years ago and hasn't had one since, theres usually a much more serious and underlying problem. I'll add the following for ways to...

    Great work man! This is going to be an awesome learning experience for you. Having experience previously running a service business, heres a few pieces of advice: 1) yard signs can bring in a lot of money - if you can pay some classmates $10-$15 an hour to put out signs, they can be just as...

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Good luck with your journey! You're going to learn a lot through offering a local service. One thing I actually recommend when starting out is to test a few different services.. maybe you can do weed pulling, window cleaning, and another service and see what sells best in your area and...
