You're sent back in time to before you started your business. You still have all of your memories though. Just no acquaintances, friends, or business partners that helped you get to where you were. What would you do to get $10,000 in the next 30 days?

I can teach you to make $10,000 in 30 days. Just sign up for my one month mentoring program. It only costs $5k and I'm accepting 2 clients.

People like yourself read whatever they want into the things that people say. I would never knock anyone for living on Ramen in a 1 bedroom apartment while they build their business in their parents garage. My point is that not everyone can live that way while they build from the ground up.

Call it life style servitude if you want, but everyone has a lifestyle to maintain. I won't watch my kids eat Ramen because I want to get rich quick. I'd rather have 100,000 saved over the course of a year to fund my projects and cover my nut.

Check your ego, yours' are the worst kind of posts to read in this great community.

No you are shielding yourself from the true discovery of your own excuses by being defensive. You won't get it now, but you may in the future.

I never lived in a 1 bedroom apartment and lived on ramen. I have the same (very close) situation to you, that has never stopped me from doing a thing. I never started any of the biz's i have built with 10k+, it's a silly excuse you are telling yourself. If you really want it, and you really have it in you, you get it any way you have to.

You will argue this up and down, i get it. There has been plenty like you in and out of this forum. I want to see you succeed, i really do. But you have to drop that "woe is me" attitude, take charge of your direction and go for what you want with any means possible.

There is a reason the 1% are the 1%, they were willing to get their hands dirty with out without money to start,or waiting for the right time, or waiting for that perfect idea....

I would either bet all of my money on a major sporting event or play the lottery (since I would already know what would happen).

Then, I would invest all of those winnings into a stock that I knew was going to take off.

Then, I would return to present day. Now, as a multimillionaire/billionaire, I would pay someone to invent a time machine and do this multiple times to become the richest man in the world.

 

[Ubermensch]

This entire thread is premised on the idea of how to quickly stop being broke.

Better to focus on how to get rich forever.

 

[Fox]

Wasn't there a 'How would you make $3,000 in 30 days' thread last week?

I am waiting for the $100,000 in 30 day thread. The really magic steps are going to be in that thread, 10k just ain't enough for the green lambo.

I'm on board with all of that. But being entrepreneurial with 0 dollars in the bank account is quite a challenge. Most people are not single with nothing to lose.

I have 2 kids and a wife, who need food, shelter, medical expenses, transportation, clothes, etc. Being a business person typically requires a cell phone, a neat appearance (clothes, car, haircut, hygiene). I think everyone should have a nest egg capable of covering expenses before venturing into entrepreneur land.

That said, while I have entrepreneurial dreams, and a try to apply fastlane values to my life whenever applicable, I can see the need for cash without necessarily having a get rich mentality.

Me too, quit being a F*cking victim. Its hard work, do it or don't. But don't play like you have it harder then everyone else, and it's somehow easy or instant for us.

@Thiago Machado $10,000k in 30 days...?

Not sure if it's "realistic" for me to even think about slowing down to this silly hypothetical level.

Thank the gods I am in sales and I can close.

Thank reality itself that everything is the way it is, and everything is all connected.

You don't have buildings without construction. You don't have commercial real estate without construction.

Without all of the office buildings, and hospitals, and universities, and public schools, and industrial warehouses, and manufacturing plants that are all built by construction, all of that construction creates the energy market.

That's why construction always provides opportunities.

That is why - depending on the source you read - the global construction market is a $7,000,000,000,000 (Trillion dollar) to $15,000,000,000,000 (Trillion dollar) industry.

It is the foundation beneath everything.

@Ubermensch I almost wasn't going to reply to this thread too. I have absolutely 0 patience for guys like @Spoonman or the idiocy of threads like this to begin with. Enjoyed @JScott and @LightHouse posts though.

Guys coming on here basically wanting someone else to tee them up for success and be spoon fed a magical blueprint to fix their financial woes. It's not completely unreasonable but asking this for free is. Surprised how I charitably gave out this blueprint already and I haven't heard anyone follow up on it. It's a a surefire way to get at least a million in a year, two max using your time and then leveraging your time. Anyone can do this but I know few of you actually will. Nonetheless, my post was on the bottom of this page.

Business and sales is a grind. It's not for everyone. This goes for everything you guys are doing whether it be dropshipping, affiliate marketing, or trying to create "the next uber". More or less simple business models. None of this is like what you were fed in school. No one is watching over you. No one has any responsibility to guide you in the right direction. You and only you are accountable for the work and an expected baseline of knowledge for guys that make real money to want to work with you. Guys living entitled with the woe is me Spoonman mindset with two kids, a house, and that must have "private education" for their daughter.

Zerohedge writes about these kind of people and it's spot F*cking on: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-27/americas-entitled-and-doomed-upper-middle-class This "poor me" narrative is so unbecoming.

You want the money without the work and prefer to dwell on an excuse-based mentality rather than finding solutions. You should stick to working for others since you have the comfort of the amount of money you feel necessary to sustain your lifestyle and a lofty rigid framework of day-to-day expectations and weekly/bi-weekly pay. There are those of us however that prefer to be compensated for our results, not our time. It's on you to make something out of nothing. That's all.

Put up a website for a service company. Answer sales calls. Collect money. Getting $10k is the easiest part, fulfilling to work and doing it well is that hard part.

I'm not speculating here. I did like $70k my first month in business, that was the easy part. Finding employees and the other 10,000 things was the hard part.

That article is worth a read.

Here's the source article it referenced:

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/05/my-secret-shame/476415/

It really was a tough read ... "I'm responsible for XYZ, but XYZ was because of unscrupulous lenders, income stagnation, blah blah" -- In other words, the guy has taken no responsibility and is a classic entitled victim. Not sure the world will survive if his daughter can't go to Stanford.

[mws87]

are dealerships generally commission only? or are they wage + commission?

Traditional dealerships provide a draw ("guaranteed ammount")

Your commission goes against your draw. If your commissions don't pass your draw after 3 months (even shorter, sometimes) your a$$ is out.

I've worked for traditional dealers and a buy here/pay here as well. The BHPH offered hourly + bonus. Made some good money, but it's a major time and life suck.

Get a job selling cars. A good businessman can make 10 grand in their first month. Plus it gets you moving and in a business mindset.

If we're talking about 30 days from when you're hired--good luck, especially if you're fresh in the business. Unless you have established clientele, know the game, close every deal, and work with a short staff, there's almost no way you'd pull in $10k your first month. Hell, at some dealers you're not even eligible for commission that soon.

These threads can be fun and interesting sometimes, but they seem like nothing more than idea-fishing. And the dollar amount always increases with each new 30-days-to-make-X-dollars-how? thread.

Sure, you can execute something effectively within 30 days, but, IMO, 30 days still falls under the "event" time line.

Can we partner up? We can create a network of jiggalos and utilize my "mothers looking for attention" mailing list

 

[Spoonman]

Not sure if that was serious or sarcastic, but I'll bite...

No, it's not "super easy." But, it really isn't that hard. It requires dedication, hard work and mental toughness to fight through the hard times. Depending on what you want to do, it may require some intellectual capacity, ability to communicate well and experience in your chosen field. It often requires contacts, a good network and a willingness to take some risk.

But, more than anything, it requires you to break free of the "get rich quick" mentality that puts limits on long-term success. If you can't afford to spend a couple years of hard work to be successful, then entrepreneurship is probably not for you. There are a few lucky people who figure out how to make millions overnight -- just like there are a few people who hit the lottery -- but, if that's your business model, expect to fail.

I'm on board with all of that. But being entrepreneurial with 0 dollars in the bank account is quite a challenge. Most people are not single with nothing to lose.

I have 2 kids and a wife, who need food, shelter, medical expenses, transportation, clothes, etc. Being a business person typically requires a cell phone, a neat appearance (clothes, car, haircut, hygiene).

Create a 9x11 inch post card, color, double-sided, 16 advertising spots, 8 each side. Offer businesses a spot, selling point? You mail the card to 10k homes at a fraction of the cost (would cost $1500-$2k to do solo), you won't advertise any competitors (1 pizza shop, 1 salon on postcard etc.).

Offer each spot for $350 ($5600 gross)

Outsource graphics for each spot @ $30 per ad (-$480)

Printing cost (goprint.com) (-$1000)

Leverage EDDM (every door direct mail) by dropping off to different USPS locations (need a membership to drop all at one location)

Say you only average $2500 on each card just to get people to sign up quickly, do this for 4 different cities and you get $10k profit.

If your good with sales you could fill 1 card in 1 week.

10k in 30 days - realistic, sure.

[Spoonman]

I wouldn't try to make $10K in 30 days.

Instead, I'd focus on trying to make $1M+ in a couple years with residual passive income. Which isn't too hard if you get out of the "get rich quick" mindset...

Yeah, it's super easy...

Roll into a car dealership and cash out 10k within 30 days, with no experience, good luck with that.

 

[Spoonman]

Roll into a car dealership and cash out 10k within 30 days, with no experience, good luck with that.

Certainly not everyone can do it. It takes drive, persistence, and the ability (not necessarily the experience) to be a salesman. I watch people come through who can't make 2,000 dollars in a month. They usually are the type of person to sit around and complain and shoot the shit or sit on their cell phone. Others come in and hustle, they talk to 10 or more new people a day on the phone or in person. They are confident and hold gross profit during their negotiations. Nay say all you want. I see it happen every month.


Selling 15 cars in a month will usually get you Around 2500 in bonuses, plus $100 flat commision for every deal. That's 4,000 dollars right there. Dealerships usually run other incentives for salespeople to hustle and that can easily net you another 1000 a month.

Then you gotta think, 15 cars... atleast one of those buyers is going to overspend. You get 30% of the gross profit and some dealerships will run specials on old age units which can get the salesman up to 90% of gross profit. My average commision without bonuses is 600 per car but I've made up to 4000 on a single deal numerous times.

It's not fastlane, but it's good money and my dealership allows me the freedom to come and to as I please so long as I maintain my level of performance. I am free to focus on my business or visit the gym etc.

 

[Ubermensch]

I'm going to be making $10,000+ per day soon. The "plus" after that "$10,000" is like the asterisk next to the 73 home runs that Barry Bonds hit in one of his glorious "steroid-abusing" years (see below for demonstration).

The "plus," in other words, allows for my steroid-like money-making days.

@Thiago Machado should document it and announce a prompt end to the challenge @Cyriex posted (RIP to that thread, eaten by non-action taking noobs).
