i miss you brah, very glad everything is going well. happy for you! <3

negged.

OP's a *******, looking for attention.

You can post a pic but can't give a 2 sentence intro?

"Hi I started XXX company YYY years ago, we sell such and such product / service. Revenue is up ZZZZ% and this year we will gross $10m"

happy to take questions and provide advice!

what are your thoughts on the idea of freewill being an illusion and we were always going to make the same choices in life given the same situation and past experiences? i know you have relatives that have done very well so it could be said "its in your blood" just like how some people think being a loser can be in someones blood

sorry OP, you mean well, neg me back LOL

Yeah, I'm sure your 2368 rep points really hurt.

So my first ever business was around Age 9, was making $200 a week by the time I was 12 selling Candy in School. Had anime sites and was making $10,000 a month by the time I was 16 or so. Grossed my first illion around 17 or 18, and lost everything by the time I was 19. Trial and errorIf thats your idea, dont do it. You are hoping someone else has the work ethic to make you rich. Lol, it isnt happening. You know how many hedge fund managers and VC's invest into company's? A shi.t ton... You know how often they get burned? A hell of a lot more often that they are successful. If only you knew how many VC's ask for in business plans before the invest. Its no joke.I followed the money but now, I LOVE what I do. It has become my passion.
Make sure to fail. Without failure, you will never appreciate your successes.Hire someone to do your job. Id never have grown if I didnt give up the reigns. No one will ever do it as good as you, but theyll do it.We net 13% after everythingI dont compete with them. I dont even bother. My suppliers dont sell directly, but if they did I dont care. I stay in my own lane. There is a big enough market for everyoneI enjoy my weekends, I enjoy the days. I only work 60 hrs right now. Come October Ill prob scale back to 25Dude thats awesome. My favorite part is the parents thing. Yea man!They are stable right now. My skins still ripping. My lungs have gotten a little better.Thanks manId give you mine but hes wrapped up for a while. Seriously just post the job, youll get so many replies and they all post the work theyve done. Find someone who matches the style you are going for. Its not a one size fits all.Heck yea man. We all start somewhere. Keep it up
Id like to retire by 45 or so. No true end goal, as I do enjoy working. So maybe even keep the company but in a limited role and run it that way. Depends on how big we get. One of my competitors has outgrown us, and I am mirin. I am now trying to figure out how I can top them. They ahve far exceeded what I have done, but they used millions in VC funding. We've done everything without a penny of debt or funding. So I am not jealous, just mirin. But Ill outplay them. Ive got some tricks up my sleeves.Thanks boss.
We get about 5% returns. we pay retail for any phones. We dont buy phones nor sell them. DIfferent market.18 or so, lost it all.bulk purchasing.Who cares if a market is saturated. Just do you. Find a few customers and grow. Set yourself apart. My company doesnt compete on price. We want to be the cadillac of phone parts suppliers. We do things differently.$3,000thisDUnno if Ill retire, I enjoy working. No, people treat me the same. But then again I am not flashy. I am very down to earth. Plus I dont tell people how well my companys do in real life. I just tell them what I do, thats all.$3,000. Easy, hardest part is knowing now that everyone depends on me. I cant let my staff down. And I want to see all of them grow with the company into amazing positions.miss you too. want you back.ive got relatives who are complete bums and losers as well. I mean my dad has failed at multiple businesses, and so has my mom. I have failed too numerous times. Pick yourself up, and do it better next timeLol I was like did he even read the thread and how many peopled I replied to? Lol, its cool man.

How'd you lose 1mill at 18? Splurging, bad investments or what?

Are you invested in the crypto market? Which coins?

Any advice on picking a good niche to sell from AliExpress? I went very hard my first time trying but failed. Is paid ads the way to go, or social media marketing better for someone just trying to make their first few initial sales?

Good job pal,

Losing a million must be a weird feeling.

I do my nut in if i lose a tenner.

Seems like a smart idea, ebay is on its way out. Sometimes timing is everything...

Hypothetically speaking you sign a non-compete but it wasn't notarized by a neutral party, and they said your non-compete is a 500 mile radius & for 5 years but the 500 mile radius goes into another state but that state doesn't recognize the non-compete. So you get fired breaking the non-compete (actually helping a regular customer who spent hundreds a week save $40 on something but still spent the $40 on something else instead) but then the employer fails to pay within the state regulated time frame for your final pay check. A) does him failing to pay within the state mandated time frame make the non-compete null n void B) having a non-neutral party notarizing the non-compete make it null n void C) can I open up a same styled shop but in a neighboring state without him trying to sue as the non-compete isn't a valid legal document as it was from a different state?

This. It is so hard to make a living off Ebay now compare to the old days.

SHAYZ been showing off that bankroll for years mayne. More props to him but hes made a few of these threads.

splurging. And a horrible investment in a restaurantNo, although I feel dumb for not being in Bitcoin.yea, its weird nowdays. I can go gamble, lose a stack or two and give zero fuks.
yepopen a shop up. Lots of issue with the non compete, and if its across state laws he will have a hard time holding it updefits been about 5 yrs mayne

OP:

get me uggs and iPad bb

Yo ShayZ, not sure if you remember me from a few months back or so when you made a similar thread. Thanks for replying my PMs and stuff. Always good to read threads and advices from successful miscers.

No questions, just learning. Keep trucking brah, may your health always be in your favor.

Ever had to trick a company that you aren't selling on amazon or running a from home business or internet business? If so how did you go about it? Found a BIG NICHE

****....I havent been on the misc in so long and then this **** pops up, twilight zone...6-7 years ago the misc was prime.

ShayZ, GJDM...hard work pays off....now, in4reps.

how long do you see yourself doing this or did you ever get the urge to go back on dat dere corporate grind time?

nevertheless, gjdm... best of luck with your health

Can i borrow some money please, the amount i NEED is chump change to you. Spread some love brother.

Do you think you've hired well and built a team that will help you get to that next level

Love this.

Just came in here to say congrats on your continued success. I remember your very first AMA thread. We had a few miscers back then make it. I forget the other guys name but he bought a few postal routes and it ended up becoming something VERY big. And then another miscer who made it big off of his Oatmeal company that he eventually sold. Within the next two year I'm starting my own thing, I hope to make it where you are. Maybe we can have an official miscer platinum membership hang out as soon as I make it ;-)

[edit]
I just remembered the postal guys name, kind of. It was Dave something. His avi was him, in a black shirt, red bandanna covering the bottom half of his face with black sunglasses and a hat

Would you be interested in expanding your business overseas? i.e. the UK/Europe?

If not, would you mentor me?

You are an inspiration. Thanks

millions of dollars are kewl but how's those workout logs that you used to do...still going?

I'm Jelly. Makes me think of when I was in my early 20's. My first IT job was working for a subcontractor that serviced Dell and *** PC's and laptops. I would go out on service calls, diagnose the problem with the laptop/PC, and they would send me the replacement part for it. I got pretty good at diagnosing the actual problem, so I actually started buying broken laptops from people on Craigslist for pennies. I usually made a profit just from selling the LCD. If the LCD was broken, I didn't even bother the buy it. But if I had a solid working LCD, I would sell that and make an immediate profit, then I would strip the laptop of it's working parts and sell them individually on Ebay. It was good for extra cash. I got frauded so many times that I stopped, because like you said earlier, someone can ship a rock back to you and your sale would be refunded.

Any marketing advice to share?

super inspiring stuff

would you say that interpersonal communication skills were a big part of your success? I mean, do you have to be likable to make it big? if some guy comes to you and wants a job/mentoring/to go into business with you, what criterias do you use to judge him?

[QUOTE=ShayZ post_id=1504460481]not how it works.
But heres some of what I paid federal and state last month. We also pay monthly to lessen end of year taxes. This right here is over $300,000 paid in taxes. Plus like I said we have to do monthly payments to lower tax bills. The $53,000 disbursements are for savings. hence they go into a suntrust investment account. I wouldnt be moving $106,000 into investment accounts right after taxes if I wasnt making it[img]//assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
