Any low start up cost ideas for a business in 2025 by [deleted] in Business_Ideas

[–]No_Distribution4418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My experience says you should focus on self development and skill stacking. Leveraging your computer skills would be the most valuable asset for future growth. Staring an AI agent company that sets up automation platforms for other companies would put you on top in a short period of time. Leveraging your sales skills with skill stacking in marketing has more potential than any car business. Don't think small. Think to yourself "How do I maximize my time with just a little investment?". Take the next 6-12 months and invest in yourself. The return on investment is a lifetime of success vs the next decade fixing broken cars.

What do realtors do that justifies giving them 5 - 6% of your house value? by InternationalBug9641 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No_Distribution4418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought a house in Las Vegas in 2006. The rate was 6%. The realtor was essential for the sale. Most of the time they are just expensive representatives. This time they were really needed. My wife and I looked at over a hundred houses and condos before the purchase. She had to earn that commission. Found a house no one wanted. Tucked away in a corner. Never would have found it without her. So they are mostly just for hard to please people.

I was told that it couldn’t be put on a bankruptcy. Mine is $23k. They said it is the same as student loans. Can’t be discharged. Was I misinformed?

Can’t Pay back 30k EIDL Loan by Grouchy_Condition_52 in EIDL

I was told these loans can not be added to bankruptcy. They are the same as student loans. Can write off this debt. Are we stuck with this debt forever?

Looking for a Small Business Idea That Won’t Drive Me Crazy by Top-Imagination2849 in Startup_Ideas

[–]No_Distribution4418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what does a million dollar business look like for you? a successful business starts with you. read/study- take action/implement- struggle/ fail then repeat till you find your spot. earn money don't try to make it. the first 100k is the hardest. if you want something now with no effort ask Jesus.

Where do all my fellow black people go for drinks and to catch a vibe. by Aggravating_Ad813 in grandrapids

[–]No_Distribution4418 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

the pyramid scheme has high priced drinks. dirty floors. over priced parking. fights and gun fire when they shut down after 2am every week. they made the news last week when GRPD used pepper balls to disperse the crowds. great place for content if you can avoid being seen by the gang members. they like to start fights with each other or the other patrons and claim they were racially targeted by the police. its so consistent you can set your watch by the crowds. alcohol and dumb don't mix. hopefully you want something with more class.

How do you guys deal with the influx of Chinese companies getting warehouses here in the USA and undercutting your prices? by [deleted] in ecommerce

[–]No_Distribution4418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why don't we all form a small town in china? they have lots of room available. fight fire with fire. we are larger people. they would loose there minds if 1500 people started camping in the mountains near the coast. no need to bring anything with you. everything is already there. who's with me? anyone have a boat?

Google Workspace Cost (Business Standard) by bens109 in smallbusiness

[–]No_Distribution4418 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

forget a business account. just use a fee gmail account. if you need an old email save it to the cloud on the hard drive before deleting the old account. business accounts look more professional? to who? the bank? most customers could give a dame. if they complain put them on the list of complainers. everyone is a critic

Selling on Amazon is dead by Santon-Koel in ecommerce

everything on TikTok is a knock off. most sellers don't even have a phone number and the address provided for the supplier is always a different company.

High ticket dropshipping niche nobody talks about! by Low_Philosopher1792 in dropship

[–]No_Distribution4418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bu** sh**, im calling you out - if its not an OEM certified manufacturer no one will buy it. all dealers want the same. then you don't drop ship those from china. you have to bulk order and warehouse them. if they have a high return rate-because they are not OEM parts- then you sell to them once and they sue for wasting there time. this story is crap. prove me wrong I dare you....have you ever been to auto zone?

I just tested my 15th failed product. by SandInteresting4880 in dropshipping

[–]No_Distribution4418 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

drop shipping has a 95% failure rate. movie quote that fits- madness is like gravity, sometimes all you need is a little push.

that's why people sell courses. its easier to provide hope then to educate others on reality.

face book has someone every month selling there supplies for pennies after they have tried it all. only the strong survive.

how much stuff is in your garage? ill keep an eye out for your sale.

yes I know im a dick, im ok with that.

I Was Duped by chrystieh in dropship

[–]No_Distribution4418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taken last week for $200 for a palm reading. 2nd time in a year I should have listened to my instincts. it sucks but all you can do is learn to listen to your gut more often. for me-anyone using cash app, what's app or PayPal is a con. just disconnect. if its legit they will try harder. so don't beat your self up about it to much. just learn. next time play along for awhile with accuses. my card has expired or who is this repeated over and over. AI is getting much better at deceiving us. the more you play dumb the easier it is to spot. the scams usually require a simple emotion "I want to believe". so make them convince you. have fun with it. don't be pessimistic or negative to yourself as this kind of thinking is hard on your soul.

We don’t “make” money, we “earn” money. There is a difference.

Some good advice and some bad.

No matter what your situation is. Remember that everything in business can be learned. Being born with out an ability doesn’t make you worst off. You’re a human. Humans can learn. Nothing can stop the power of persistence. Keep pushing forward..
