    Using PPL to scale from $0 to over $100k YTD. Wholesale Real Estate AMA

    REAL ESTATE 
    Awesome, I am happy to help where I can. As far as the bad apple there was a "buyer" who was taking out loans to pay for the down payment on properties and paying himself a fee to buy the property from that private money lender and then stopped making payments on the houses he was buying. I...

    Using PPL to scale from $0 to over $100k YTD. Wholesale Real Estate AMA

    REAL ESTATE 
    Hey all, Just wanted to share an update since I am an insider and summit attendee and have been non existent in here for what feels like years. This post is NOT a fastlane strategy as the way I am doing it requires my time and attention and if I take days off so does my business. You can alter...

    Building a community on YouTube from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Youtube is definitely a grind. I started in February and am just hitting 650 subs with 3 videos a week. Not selling anything, just teaching and entertainment value. Just stay consistent even when you have no or little views and engage with your audience and you'll do better than most. Best wishes!

    How was your 2020? What will your 2021 look like?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Not sure what to think about this year other than I wasted a lot of opportunities by focusing on too many things at once and never just one main focus. I wanted to import a product and sell but never found one that I was confident in and wasn't really passionate about this process, then figures...

    7 days and $750 Dollars to Market my Product. Where do I start?

    MARKETING 
    What have you done for free? I would be posting on reddit, joining FB groups and posting comments etc and not just spamming the ad, post a BUNCH of pics on IG with different hashtags on each one, etc... Go hard for a week or two of free stuff and then add the money to it.

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    Has anyone played with selling covered calls on your BTC at Trade Bitcoin, Options and Futures ? I just saw it and am debating selling on maybe .5 btc monthly and reinvesting back into building up more btc. You can sell a $100k Dec 2021 contract for like $2500

    1-yr Self-Employed; Am I a Failure-in-Progress?

    EXECUTION RANT 
    If I recall correctly you have done well in the past with one off "custom" units? Why not keep the price on your standard units but look to introduce a once a week custom unit or once a month limited edition for a higher price? This could be marketed via IG and your FB feed free and cheap to...

    My promotion fell through.. Now I'm here!

    INTRO 
    Sometimes people can be "too valuable" in their current roles and do not get promoted from fears that the leaders see you as more valuable doing what you are doing now vs in the promotion role. I can say I had to have that conversation when I saw value in someone over the years and my assistant...

    What was your first "cash flow positive asset?"

    My last home I couldn't sell for what we wanted so we decided to just keep it and turn it into a corporate rental. We signed a 1 year at a time lease with option to extend up to 5 yrs (they say they want all 5 if not more) and put in 6.5% rent increase each year. Year one we are positive...

    Amazon Prime delivery time is now 29 days!

    HOT! 
    I've had some of my best sales the last 4 days over the last 30 for comparison but dried up around 5pm yesterday. I expect them to drop off pretty significantly with these new lead times and today have zero sales so far. I only have about $8k in inventory tied up at FBA right now but seems like...

    Once again, the workforce did not let me down

    Personal opinion after hiring and firing hundreds of people over my career is that entry level employees could give a rats a$$ about a pay raise next week, next month, sometimes let alone next year. They care about current pay right now, hours, benefits (older ones), work environment (can they...

    I turned off all my Amazon PPC and sales dropped...

    MARKETING 
    I'm all retail arbitrage on my amazon stuff but I have everything at 3 cent bids and a max budget of $5 per day and I do get more sales through PPC even at that low rate than non advertised listings. Since people are already searching for my items Amazon would rather take my .03 and show my...
