Who has ever thought about starting or attempted to start a business?
 

Or perhaps even owns a small business? I'm starting one. Let me know so I can barrage your inbox with PMs daily for advice

Yup... It's not my main work though, it's just for a little extra on the side. But I know a couple of things

what's your trade dom teach me. do u kidnap lost joeys off the road and use their hide to create louis vitton bags? Do u outsource anything to india?

To be real I'm gonna try network marketing because I'm an expert salesman and my people skills are through the roof

That's exactly what I do.

Lol nah I tutor high school kids

I meant ur side business what do u do for that

I have an LLC

go through Delaware - if it hasnt changed, cheaper tax.

how much u makin w/ that

it is related to my career (brand equity / tax write-offs). so in terms of the 'entity' itself, it aint shit in terms of flipping/selling/going public (that's not what it's designed for).

in terms of what it's contributing to: 108k + 2-400 shares of stock a year at about 50-60 cents per share


so, solid


but again, the LLC does more for tax returns today (several k between my home office, phone bills, internet, etc) -- and for brand name tomorrow (future purchases, industry credibility, contractor opportunities)

108k is a decent chunk of change. There are a few people on this site with net worths upwards of 100k. I'll be at that level by next year and 1 million in 2.

word?

interested in the business plan that takes you from $100k to $1M in two years.


you are a fiery spirit, and i prefer to encourage rather than stifle dreamers who are willing to execute upon them... but DAMN bro. Jumping into the top bracket and proceeding to do 10x as much 12 months later - when most are either losing their jobs or barely getting paid a raise of 3-5% to cover inflation...

intense...


unless you have a new technology, social or commerce platform, or win the lottery -- it isn't very probably that you'll do it within the next 24 months.


but hey - if and when you do, hopefully i'll be along for the ride brotha lol


shit - clue me in on your vision man, im tryna see what you're talkin about

Rawn owns a fleet of helicopters which he leases out to high profile executives.

for whatever it's "worth" -- that's my annual salary, not net worth... all people have to do is start riding the digital marketing analytics wave man, shit'll be hot for the next 7-8 yrs.

but i dont like talking about money - fucked up as that sounds --- it was not caring about money that actually started getting me paid anyway lol

It's all about putting working income into your business. Since I'm a top salesman for my company I just have to apply that skill to my network marketing business. I'm all about taking massive action so that's what I'm going to do. Shoot for the stars and you'll reach the stratosphere. I believe I can do it though, my goal is present moment freedom...just wanna retire by the time I'm 27 latest. Namix I'm willing to do that writing project on the side to increase my business acumen if you're down, what's ur AINM

yea man, i didn't know he owned a whole fleet, but i did have the privilege of hopping on one of his choppers before while cruising to the IBM conference to discuss their next WebSphere Commerce release.


i'm not much of a chopper dude, particularly for business -- it sounded like we were shouting at eachother the entire time vs. actually making moves lol.

WorldofChaos@aol.com = my AIM


bro - remove time from your dreams first. vision is cool - milestones are important, but you will actually stifle your potential by assigning things like "retire by 27" to your wish list dogg


build something you enjoy -- something that makes you not want to retire - that doesnt even feel like work --- but that ultimately is self-rewarding AND fiscally rewarding enough that you can limit those financial pressures in life...


remove money and time from the equation and you'll use both more wisely hommie

sincerely appreciate your initiative.

lmao

also - sales is a GREAT attribute, that is hard for many skilled resources to learn

but sales dont sell itself man -- neither does your fire.... you need a product man.... we can chat on AIM but, while I do believe you can get where you want to go, I do not believe an ebook will get you there --- particularly in the next 12-36 months man

Lold irl

This was a great read. Really enjoy that namix is decent enough to entertain this muppit. 1 mil by next year? But no product in mind? How are you going to project figures when you don't know what your product is, let alone pricing structure or market. Retire by 27? That attitude won't get you no where.

Seriously how old are you?

I own my own little gfx market and clothing apparel

Nice little corner shop with my in house gfx team as well we do sport jerseys and banners and parties invitations aside from creating my own local brand

5 Star General and Guerilla Warfare

I own some blank DVD's.. Come to my Shop *house* and get your movies made right there in.....your......face.....

Lol PIRATION is subject to federal prison

Quick someone become his best friend and find out his address FBI rewards nicely

In case anyone read this thread in more detail than I'd expect....

i meant 200-400 stock units @ 50-60 DOLLARS* per share, not cents haha

that would be a very, very poor stock price for any business lol

Poverty namix

might as well be haha.


i am blessed with a real nice house -- but after that I don't do anything interesting with money.

i'm not into cars, so i get mid-level ones i can pay off -- i'm not into clothes so i wear what i got until they lose their color -- i wear the same damn shoes until the back of them start to bend inward because i never untie them before i force them on (i really should stop that, made me appreciate the idea of a 'shoe horn' after years of thinking it was the dumbest invention ever).

not really into spending money, but also don't trust our financial system, so not really into saving it either. so i just let my wife have piece of mind by maxing out our IRAs, my 401k, and some stupid high-yielding educational account thing which i trust even less since it is the combo of my lack of trust for our financial system AND educational system lol.

or lack of trust in the 'sustainability' of a system reliant on continuous growth and consumer confidence, i should say. nevertheless, impoverish might be a stretch, but i'm definitely not balling.


money is the catnip for the lemmings imo

flo real you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer are u faggot...this is 75% a joke thread but 100% serious I will retire by 27
