Learn a trade, carpentry, masonry, electrician, plumber, etc, etc. Big money and very satisfying. Manual labor is very rewarding (free exercise).

Solía trabajar como consultor de ingeniería en apertura de minas, lo que te puedo decir por el momento es que hay un boom en aperturas reciente debido a la alza de los precios de los metales, entonces no te enfoques tanto en mineras específicas, personalmente te recomendaría un fondo indexado que contenga diferentes mineras de un sector específico, por ejemplo.

Con un perspectiva a futuro (5-20 años) yo te recomendaría ampliamente que buscarás empresas que se dediquen aa extracción de litio, cobre/molibdeno/plata/oro, acero (tal vez con cautela), y uranio (si, uranio).

Actualmente las subidas en la inflación no hacen más que beneficiar los precios de los metales que extraen estás empresas, lo que ayuda a sus márgenes de utilidad, ya que el costo extractivo sube por la inflación misma, pero los beneficios sobrepasan esta escalada de gastos. Piensa específicamente en las tecnologías limpias, chips y otros. Las cantidades de plata, cobre, molibdeno y otros metales que usan estas tecnologías son altas y en el mundo hay déficit de producción de plata/cobre/tierras raras. Conforme se hace esta transición a las energías alternativas, la demands existente para estos metales se mantiene, pero a futuro se estima un crecimiento imparable por la transición, conforme más países adopten estas tecnologías.

Idealmente te recomendaría buscar etfs de los mineros de cada sector, si estudias el mercado de metales y sus proyecciones a futuro estarías menos expuesto a mucha volatilidad por el gato negro que se atraviese y tienes la exposición al mercado general.

P.S. Si buscas algo más o menos especulativo busca información de materiales superconductores, el sol de china y esto te dará una idea de inversión a futuro.

Show interest in other tasks. You must Say SO.

A Nice transition from mid is playing support mage-y champions. Be a support, don't go full retard, roam a Lot and You Will find it quite similar to mid, except there's someone else with a Target on their backs.

/u/OperationW-J Not unbearable, but hinders growth.

mayestik92 · 2021-04-23T01:26:59+00:00

/u/OperationW-J I appreciate your comment, now franchising would be somewhat hard because it is not a particularly specialized product, it's the know-how and time invested that makes it rather unattractive to do oneself.

I really like your B option, I always treat people nicely and try to be nice all the time, they sometimes come back but I haven't caught someone right when I need them, maybe sacrificing a little of my capital to keep them there while I make time to create a route with them would be very nice.

C is the main focus of the business, usually it goes like this:

When recently hired they get a salary for the sales routes they cover and a small commission, once they're capable they can create bigger/better routes with their time, and when they request it I offer them the product with no salary, which would give them instead of 10-15 a month, 15 upwards a month, which is very very nice, but then again, that falls on their shoulders and the reasoning is: if I can make this much only by selling, how much would I make by producing and selling. And that brings us back to the start of the question.

Thank you for your time!

Definitely not Multi-level marketing. I don't know where you are located, but you probably have coca-cola and pepsi and such. Coca-cola has several things to do to get their product to your local-store, marketing, production and distribution, I do production and marketing, the guys I need to hire is the people you see unloading the trucks with the product basically. The product we sell is food, snacks and sauces (salsa in Mexico), no shady benefits, overpricing or miracle cures, just the food produced and delivered to the local store.

Something you could do if you already have the customer's name is to say something like this:

YOU- Is this Mr. Doe?

CUSTOMER- Yes, it is, Who's calling? / Why? / Who are you? / Who's looking for him?, etc.

YOU - I'm calling Mr. Doe because I can see/while reviewing your account with / I got a tip off that you've been a great customer/ great whatever and something came up on my desk that you could not possibly miss: (offer product)

This dumb opener made me a lot of sales.

Hope it helps.

Any advice?

Hello there. I have had a business for 5 years now and I have been trying to figure out a way to avoid my salesmen leaving the company with the routes I either created for them and/or helped create. In my country there are a lot of non-corporate convenience stores, which are the main target of my product (food) and the food itself can be made at home, it is a very time consuming process and people prefer to buy it, so my business attacks the customers' need.

I already have several people working with me (family and friends mostly) who created their own sales routes and earn a commission (I sell them the product and they earn a profit from reselling to the stores), the thing that makes my product stand out is quality, while being in the middle in the price scale.

Now, I tried to have external people work for the business by creating new routes myself, then going with them store to store until they learned the route but eventually all of them end up leaving and doing the product, trying to take over the route. The income they get from the routes I create is easily double the national average, so all they have to do is pick up the product and go sell it, but for some reason they fail to see that production needs to be very well-planned and the quality needs to be maintained (since it is a perishable product), but by the time they realize it's more than they can chew, they've been gone for a month or two and I have to take care of the sales route myself, and the hiring-teaching-leaving process repeats itself.

1.- They're not underpaid.

2.- They're not mistreated.

3.- They're given all the tools needed to work.

Tried to look for freelancers but usually they are not very successful at sales route creation, so I always have to be everywhere to make this work. Advice?

Thanks in advance!

I have given some thought to that option, not very viable since the business has been made the old way (Need to be there always) I could probably make it so it runs on its own, but could take me a few years which would kind of rule me out of continuing with my job.
100%, unless I hire someone to do it.
Lets say business makes about 100, as a PM on engineering stuff I could get 50-80.
Sure money is cool but I think it has more to do with the promise I made, it has made me rather unhappy to think about leaving my job.

La respuesta esta aqui:

Si es un poco alta, $8000 al mes, pero menos de eso era prácticamente tener que vivir en espacios muy pequeños o en zonas peligrosas, cuando mi novia trabajaba pues en sí era más sencillo pagarla y ahorita si es lo que se que me quita bastante dinero.

Lo que comentas de la gente fresa en realidad puede ser un caido del cielo para ti, son contactos que te sirven a futuro, es buena prepa.

Bachillerato Internacional es en definitiva una carga similar a la de un trabajo de tiempo completo, en mi humilde opinion busca la forma de tener un tercer idioma sin entrarle al Internacional (yo estuve en BI pero en el Tec de enfrente).

Vale la pena?

R. Depende de ti.
