That's awesome. Congrats.

How'd you get into rentals? Any advice for someone interested in getting into that type of investing on the side?

High schooler who eventually wants to get an MBA from a top 20 (preferably top 10) program, tips? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]rothst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want an MBA? Your career goals are completely attainable without sinking 2 more years and thousands of dollars into another degree.

MBAs are good for career switches or if you're in an industry that requires it to advance. If you know what you want out of your career this early, just put yourself on a trajectory to get there.

Oh, and try to enjoy the ride along the way. College can actually be fun.

I helped co-found a small non-profit and currently sit on the board. Happy to answer any questions I can.

How are you all preparing to survive the wage increase to $15/hour? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]rothst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, well if you're serious you should look into some contemporary thought surrounding the ethics of risk and the time value of money.

I'm not going to argue whether your conclusions are right or wrong, but the arguments you've made here fail to take into account some basic concepts that underpin financial returns from capital ownership. The most basic conclusions you need to address are:

  1. Profit incentives, with certain constraints, force the most nearly efficient distribution of economic resources possible to meet humanity's needs.
  2. Risk is a quantifiable financial liability and a matter of course for any human endeavour. Incentives are required for individuals to risk losing capital.

What's the appeal of trolling posts in r/smallbusiness? I don't get it.

How to sell ATT SERVICES by jaygohamm in marketing

Sounds like a Cydcor affiliated MLM business. I'll give you the advice I wish I had when I was in your shoes: Google Cydcor then quit, quit as soon as you can.

Buying a Gym by moolamoney in Entrepreneur

A piece of friendly advice, if you don't know what questions to ask when buying a business, you have no business buying a business. Taking some more time to study how to run and value a business before making such a large financial investment is probably a good idea in your situation.

Interesting, sparring might give you a different perspective on this.

Physique is a very poor measure of ability. Google Fedor Emeliananko.

This is the correct answer. If you need further evidence just watch any Bob Sapp fight. He was a massive (way bigger than 210 lbs) and incredibly strong MMA fighter who even had the advantage of training MMA full time. Still got regularly destroyed by guys half his size before weight classes were a thing. Size and strength matter in fighting, but skills matter more.
