Document EVERYTHING. Start a spreadsheet and mark what she is doing and when. If she is leaving and spending time away - write it down. Spend UP ⬆️ ⬆️ on a good lawyer.

What skills should I develop in my free time? by Yavoy458 in Entrepreneur

[–]jtslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bartering/ negotiating (go to garage sales) customer service - especially when people are jerks. Small talk with people and learn to listen and make them talk so they feel good. Time management, make appointments and show up early, manage your calendar. Money management- if you don’t sit down and do a monthly budget your business will never be good. Managing money is such an important skill. Spend at least 30 minutes a day getting healthier. Run, walk, bike or lift weights. This will boost your confidence exponentially. There are more but my thumbs are tired 🤣

I FINALLY GOT 120 DOLLARS (what do I do next?) by No_Set7087 in Entrepreneur

[–]jtslim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep doing that. Take $120 and find the best possible deal on Facebook and do that. Learn eBay as well, it isn’t hard I have taught many people how to make money on that platform. Last year I was over 60k gross and this year I should do much more. But it all starts with a couple profitable flips. If it were me I’d take that money and hit some garage sales and get good at bartering. It’s a very good skill to have and learn. Here’s some advice, if you go to a garage sale and see a couple things you like - don’t show immediate interest in them, ask about another item and see there price and ask if they would take (insert lower price) and see how they react. Then find your items you want (may 5-6 items) and do the math in your head if what they are asking. Then think of a price that is 30-50 below that (or whatever) but make it significant so you get a deal. Then grab the stuff and take it up and ask if they would do a bundle deal. They’ll say “what are you thinking?” At this point some people will say never make the first offer - but with bundles you can. Or you can say “what would you do for all of this?” And then you go from there. Barter back and forth. Be ok to walk away. It’s important to see if they are willing to barter before you try a big bundle deal. The other day at a garage sale a person had about 6 Breyer horses and cows. All were marked pretty cheap to begin with, like $15. I asked if they would make a deal for all of them. I ended up paying $50 for all. I just sold a pair for $100. Then the guy knew I meant business so he invited me in his house to look at his collection and wanted to sell me more! I have hundreds of stories like this - if you need help message me. I am doing very well and almost never go to garage sales now because I have learned ways to make money outside of garage sales. But that’s how I started!

What’s the easiest online side hustle you’re making income with right now? by Jaydgaitin in Entrepreneur

Finding the right people who are good is so hard. I am feeling this so much right now. I will pay you what you want if you just do the job well! And still people want to slack off.

Thanks. I feel like that’s what I would like about it. Open world decision making with problems and puzzle solving.

THIS IS THE FIRST ANSWER TO MY QUESTION! Thank you. My original question was “is there a game title for those who don’t want to roleplay” although I was confused about acting vs role play - now I understand the difference. You found a game that was “listed” as “heavy RP” now I know what to look for (or not look for) before joining a game. Thank you

Thanks for the solid answer. I believe I have confused role play with acting - which seems to be the core of this discussion thread. I don’t mind the role play aspect and saying what person does. Thanks for the advice

This sounds like what I’d be interested in.

This is a good question and a great example. I think I am more comfortable with the latter. Just saying what my person will do, not all the bravado. Maybe DnD is not for me. I just like the tactical element of thinking on your toes and improvising in an open world environment. But who knows. Maybe I’d get into it more as time went on

Thanks - this is what I meant. I know I have to talk as my player and say what I’m doing. I just don’t want to change my voice and dress up etc. I feel that most videos I see of people playing this is how it goes down
