What's up guys my name is Jack and I'm from Colorado Springs, CO but currently residing in Villanova, PA for college. I found this website while trolling through various forums and have been lurking around here for a few days and even went out and bought MJ's book. While it wasn't my first time hearing about the "fast lane" concept (I.E. Tim Ferriss, Stephen Key, Pat Flynn, etc), after reading MJ's book and his comparison between slowlaners vs fast laners, I've realized that I've been poorly valuing my time by being here in college. However, I will be able to graduate in one more semester after this and having come so far, I'm not sure how I feel about leaving prematurely.
Action plan
This upcoming summer, I will be able to go back to Colorado and take advantage of some craigslist arbitrage to build some initial capital (I had some experience flipping about~ 10 appliances last summer for $200-$500 profit). One idea I had in mind was to walk over to individual mom-and-pop stores and ask them if they had any excess or unused equipment they never used and offer to sell it for them for 50% profit, $100, or maybe buy it off of them for cheap (not sure). My own dad owns a liquor store and I know he has a lot of unused equipment and weird electronics like monitors, cctvs, security cameras, chairs, etc that he collected throughout the years out in the back and I'm sure other small businesses act the same way.
Also, I have a friend that is very knowledgeable about cars and might get into flipping cars once I can find a dealership to co-op with.
Until then,
I would like to make an eBook with a compilation of IceCreamKing's and posts (with his permission of course) formatted a little nicer and with a pretty title as a helpful tip/guide/motivation for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Thanks for reading.
