Ridiculous. If people want to pay you to teach them, you can. That's an essential element of freedom and capitalism, Andy. No disclaimer needed. Don't let the 1/10th of 1% deprive people who can have their lives changed by your instruction denied for the sake of those who spend their time tearing down statues. Don't deprive the rest of what you have to offer. I'm sad you feel that way, but that is NOT the sentiment of the majority. The forum NEEDS sponsors to stay alive, and the pitchfork crowd, by definition, is now ineligible.

We are the statues? Damn! That's deep!

BTW the Kill Bigger show you released today on "Surviving the Collapse" was good enough for me to share it privately with all my friends on social media. Hard core thought provoking.

Sounds kind of egotistical when you put it that way. I meant everyone but me. I am just a ....bust.

Several ways you could interpret bust.

No you are 100% correct though. Standing by what you sell is a big part of business. Do you believe in your value or not?

I imagine the small things that change lives forever. You and I meeting in Phoenix all those years ago... That changed my life in several ways. @Andy Black has undoubtedly helped numerous people to a similar extent.

LOL agreed
Your agreement isn't good enough. You are responding as if this is an opinion... I speak fact.

Bootlicker... Who is John Galt? :rofl:

A footnote on the Virtual Assistant show... in shopping VA services around, there are definitely cheaper services out there. Worthwhile to look at competitive services, and competitive countries. I have used a VA from the Philippines multiple times, with great results and pretty substantially lower rates. So, shop around.

Dave,
Your last podcast, Independence Day was truly one of the best. I remember you sharing that story in a post here on the forum and it made an impression on me then.

This time, hearing you share that emotional story on your latest Mind Your Business podcast was major league.

This episode should go viral.
Period.

And everyone here should take the time to listen to it.

Perhaps I could have been there if I had made different choices in my life.
It helps me to always try to remain humble the more success I have.

Thank you for one of the best podcasts I've heard in a long time.

Thank you. I appreciate you all more than you know. I think together through the forum and other media we can reach a lot of people. We can help a lot of people. We have to keep pushing the message out. Your post gave me additional energy so thank you.

So hahahaha. I listened to this episode while running errands this morning. So very spot on. Especially Tip #1. :rofl:

The others were Gold as well. Seriously. Any young buck starting out would do well to listen to these.

One question that I did have: What category of product would NOT benefit from eBay? (I was thinking of my last venture) but interested in your or anyone else's thoughts.

GREAT question.

Here's why I like eBay :

  • 100,000,000+ users
  • mostly buyers
  • half of them active in the last 6 months
I like ebay for SOCIAL PROOF, and I don't discount on eBay. It is just one more positive hit to a search result when someone is researching your brand. And, it's cheap.

I will be launching 9,000 additional skus on eBay at EOM July, with a one click integration from Shopify. 9,000 skus. A starter store on eBay is $4.95/mo, and PPC is a success fee, not an upfront fee on advertising.

So, most ALL consumer brand categories I would recommend doing it. It doesn't HURT you and can only help you.
