I want to get in on this type of thing, sick of being a corporate slave, want to run my own fkn business.
Use to sit on slickdeals and fatwallet. Find deals, resell on eBay.
Eventually I found a niche product, it kind of worked. Found a betetr niche category (cell phone parts). Grew from there

Ive got around 200k into my IRA right now, max yearly contribution I can give has been around $50k, and done that 3 yrs in a row. Other than that, I really just reinvest into the business. Inventory, new businesses, staff, etc.

Spend money to make money ring true for your business (IE you directly make more the more you spend)?
Yea, investing into the business, and living like a peasant at times. However, now Im at the point that i buy whatever I want within limits.
Have a Tesla Model S and Lincoln MKC paid off. Own 2 houses. Zero debt. I own the $700,000 building for my office. etc etc. Have yet to take a single loan. In fact we have about $250,000 in outstandings. We offer a number of our clients net 30 or longer. And thats all self funded.

Solid job there m8. I don't really have any questions. People that make it (like you) typically are the ones that just sack up and start getting chit done. Speed is king, even in business, just move forward and correct mistakes and learn as you go.

No ******** advertising?

I know your niche works best with search / keyword advertising but ******** is great for retargeting (and perhaps even for creating lookalike audiences for your traffic)

What do you value more, knowledge or materialistic things?
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

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

Hey Shayz,

Just wanted to say that you're one of the reasons that I started my own business in the supplement industry, and the reason for where I am today.

I remember reading threads of yours from about 2-3 years ago, and I would just read your posts over and over and over again. I was both excited and jealous for your success, and I wanted a piece of the pie.

I'm happy to say that this year, I've made $150,000 from my business, and who knows if I would have started it without motivation from your own success.

So a big, fat thanks to you, my friend! Stay well. Repped.
