I made an animated summary of "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, hope you find it useful...

Link to video: https://youtu.be/NcQjBghtxMUIf you'd prefer to read the script instead of watching the video, here it:The Alchemist by Paulo CoelhoThe Alchemist, Paulo Coelho’s bestselling book has sold over 65 million copies and translated into more than 56 languages.The Premise Of The BookThe underlying principle in Paulo Coelho’s book, The Alchemist, is a dedicated desire to work towards your aims.”The book tells the story of Santiago, a young shepherd boy who sets out on a personal quest to Egypt to find his “personal legend.” As he ventures out on his quest for personal greatness, the journey fast becomes an adventure full of challenges and obstacles the shepherd boy must face and triumph over if he is to attain his personal legend/greatness.“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”Paulo CoelhoThe Protagonist in the Alchemist is very relatable.Here are the main lessons learned from reading and implementing the principles taught in the Alchemist:Lesson 1: Pursue The Desires Of Your Heart And Soul“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”Paulo CoelhoMost of us spend our lives waiting for the right time to act. Well, the right time to act is right now. If you fail to take consistent action towards your purpose, your utmost aim, you will never achieve your desire because there is no right time; life will always get in the way. Pursuing your heart’s desire with some urgency is the most significant lesson taught in Paulo Coelho’s book The Alchemist.“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”Paulo CoelhoAccording to The Alchemist, when you are not pursuing your desires, following your dreams, or doing what you were put on this earth to do, the chances of fulfilling your personal legend are slim to none.In each of us lies a seed of passion: the passion to experience certain things, to do certain things, and to live life a certain way. If you are not following your heart, if you are not listening to it and answering to its call, you are keeping yourself from living the best life possible.Lesson 2: Accept Failure As Part Of The Process/JourneyFear of failure is very relatable, something we have all experienced at one point or the other. Our personal legend, what we want to do or achieve with our lives, manifests in the form of a grand goal or vision. When you allow the fear of failure to take root in your spirit, it keeps you from pursuing and achieving your personal legend.Do not let fear of failure keep you from pursuing and achieving your dreams and aims. As Coelho notes:“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”Paulo CoelhoConstantly remind yourself of where you are right now, where you want to go, and why it is important that you get there. When you do this, when you are consistently working to better your life and yourself, the universe will conspire to help you actualize and achieve your dreams:“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.”Paulo CoelhoAlways remind yourself that everything worth having has a price. Are you willing to pay that price? Only those who are willing to pay the price, to risk it all, to act in the face of fear of failure, achieve their aims and dreams.Always listen to your heart, to the dream it holds dear and near, and then actively dedicate your daily life to pursuing your dream. The universe will reward you immensely.“The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times”Paulo CoelhoLesson 3: Take Consistent Action; It Is Secret To All LearningTony Robbins is fond of saying, “knowledge is not power. It is potential power. Execution will trump knowledge any day.”If you are not taking action towards fulfilling your personal legend, you will never fulfill it no matter how much you learn or know. Action is the secret sauce to all forms of success.“There is only one way to learn. It’s through action.”Paulo CoelhoThe importance of taking consistent action towards the fulfillment of your dreams is one of the most important lessons gleaned from reading and implementing the principles taught in The Alchemist.True to this, you can study as much as you want, and seek advice from the best the world has ever known, but if you are not taking action, if you are aiming but not pulling the trigger, yours will be a case of unexploited potential, which you do not want. You do not want to go to the grave with your potential still unfulfilled; the regret is just too painful.ConclusionDiscover your purpose and actively pursue it every day. That is the only way to achieve personal greatness.If you’re interested…I've made over 50 summaries of the best self improvement books, the links are below.If you're interested and want to subscribe here's a link:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbLDMh6uGOZePAfqqjVZ-g?sub_confirmation=1  Full playlist of them all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE&list=PLaNTB6oQAa0AYuul0tqUscg1ZLj_arZgaHere are the links:Make Your Bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7mBNcI2H1cThe power of the subconscious mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNi9zDGaZtwGetting things done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCNN2pyO5YcThe power of intention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ezM3fIKHTYDeep work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SOQpjHKESAThe magic of thinking big: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQRQ82AED8The alchemist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcQjBghtxMUBlink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rie9Pkp4KtkAtomic Habits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6u0X0CDEqUThe E-Myth Revisited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHTVZRnE7gMindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QU5Q3lyTqoThe art of war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_5qhA2y-E4Rework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsaZU-HW18kThe lean startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QPZp--lJEThe hard thing about hard things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl_Q3E5d33UCrush it!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onbmkc-29KIDelivering Happiness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiUWCZkHbA8The personal MBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFpXccN3YEUThe $100 startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqa1LqahOLEZero to One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGtQjkSUahcGrit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUSy1Eo76sStart with why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgMnlf4jcYYThe compound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nSIiAMnDY0The Prince: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzVmhWFdwBQThe willpower instinct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz5EXLYxWDQThe slight edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sItMk2xS_ZUMeditations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul2nuHOnCPIWho moved my cheese?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQhJkIPHiywThe One Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS5lgHhbUoMThe richest man in babylon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbnHlWFnWLsThe power of habit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d366w-o8nhASecrets of the millionaire mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1WjeoCw30gThe 6 pillars of self esteem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5NRiB_-w10The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nGzZ9m_XsgThinking Fast and Slow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqw9dwxiKSwThe 4 hour work week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWzSlAqO0gThe power of positive thinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAdxM_19KBcThe power of now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa7mAlLhD3wThink and grow rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btQNKjSy8Ww12 rules of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InBOOy1eTUThe 5 love languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPq4Vxh74jYRich Dad Poor Dad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV31Wpr2Fl8How to win friends and influence people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s61o8y22BpMThe inside out revolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68OwvuqZEGoModels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs0d7Da8ufoMan’s search for meaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyXFQ5W0bMkThe subtle art of not giving a fuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UEHow to stop worrying and start living: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUQXrEk52UgThe millionaire fastlane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrtjXONWVfA5 extremely powerful techniques to master motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmRzDIisUeMQuiet by Susan Cain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzRcYLq63dUExtreme Ownership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMWeEyqWHe0 see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

How to compensate employees with more than just money?

So I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to compensate employees. Raises are good, im not against that, but what else can I do? My goal is to do something that directly improves employees lives because it’s like they say “man cannot live on bread alone”. For this conversation just assume that money is no object and whatever it is is replicable for all employees, or a special reward for a select few(those who’ve been with us for 5+ years or something)One idea I’m having is something like company paid therapy, where the company pays for a visit to whatever professional psychological treatment you choose once a week or month or something. Another idea I’m having isn’t original by any means, but it’s a company meals policy(essentially, if you’re on break and go get fast food or anything it’s covered up to a certain amount).I’m excited to see what we can come up with! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Questions for licensing inventions

Has anyone successfully licensed an invention? I have a few that i've created and I would rather focus on getting a job than going the traditional route of doing a start-up for now until the royalties kick in.. I started a few hustles in the past, made some money, but not enough to sustain myself. So i am deciding to just try the "license lifestyle" as proposed by Stephen Key in "One Simple Idea". This is also because I don't have the distribution and don't feel like busting my ass for one.So with that said, any advice on licensing? Advice on cutting deals with companies? Negotiations?The only things I really need to figure out from here are how to make the product, and how much it will cost. I reached out to one manufactuerer in Las Vegas just waiting on a response, I also told them I can't discuss any details unless they sign a NDA...Thanks! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Is it feesible or practical to give 20-30 people small equity in a company

I'm thinking about starting a company that will require alot of social media influencers to adopt to grow. So I am thinking of the best ways to entice these influencers to join our platform and really embrace it. So I was thinking about offering a sign on bonus, but a lot of these influencers think they are worth a lot more than they really are. Or even if they are worth it, our funds will quickly dry up if we were to pay all these influencers sign on bonuses.What would the practicality be of giving these influencers equity in the company. Lets say an estimated 25 people. Maybe .5% of the company. Or make it sound better by offer say 1000 shares? I have no experience whatsoever in having equity partners, giving shares to employees, etc. I have always been full owner of any company I have started.Would it involve alot of work to give people equity in the company, or could it be done fairly easily? How would it work as to having these people getting their payments? Do they get monthly payments? Would they get .5% of the profits? How would they actually get there .5% in terms of actual money? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Building a tool that analyses stock based on what the internet is saying and it's sentiment

Started building a tool called ExplodingStock.com with a growth marketer and data scientist.Essentially we let you tap into the crowd to see where a stock price might be going. We rate stocks using AI based on how positive (or negative) the comments are on individual stocks. We do this by scraping and analysing tens of thousands of web pages from sites like Reddit, Twitter, Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha and Investing.com we’re able to paint a picture of when a stock is about to explode and what people are saying about these specific stocks. Would love some feedback. Even if no one wants this we're continuing to build it because I absolutely hate spending hours on reddit and twitter to find stocks that are hot (either for good or bad). see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Expanding my current business

So I am an umbrella manufacturer based out of middle east.I want to grow and expand my business by taking up CMO for other established brands preferably in the luxury brand segment but I am having difficulty reaching out and getting leads.I can definitely provide them the quality they need for the price point they get from china, the way im trying to pitch this to other companies is that its best to have a an alternate supplier since the pandemic forced supply chains into chaos and having a back up is good as well as some countries are imposing higher tariffs on Chinese goods and they can avoid that through me.I know I did a crappy job at summarizing but can explain in detail so lmk.Thanks!​EDIT: I mean if any of yall need some umbrellas for branding or corporate gifting do PM me! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

What Would Be Fair Equity to Request For An Employee?

UK here. I have worked part-time minimum wage (3 days/week) for a small but interesting company since 2016. A lot of packing boxes, cleaning shop floors and dealing with shitty customers however also a lot of high-skill stuff - for example I made custom coded the ecommerce store (extremely fast, high converting), made our shipping system and take care of the digital marketing.After the founder I am employee No.3 (No.2 left year and a bit ago) and have been with the company at least two years longer than anyone else... now there are 5 employees who take care of customer support/packing.During that time I've helped with the growth of our ecommerce website. Because I've had control of both the technical and marketing sides I've been able to grow online revenue to where it accounts for at least 2 thirds of revenue and this year we are looking to top £2m in sales through the website alone (exponential growth). Total revenue to top 3m.TL;DR: The owner recently has given me a raise from minimum wage at £8.50/hr to £12/hr. He knows it's not much (I think it's great and I understand the tight margins and costs). He wants me to go full time at £12/hour. Unless I have more incentive I would rather explore other options.I would either like to be paid comission on sales or get equity in the business. As the margins are tight and every penny is needed for competitive growth I would rather have a stake in the business and plough comission back into growth (he has mentioned selling).I have no financial risk involved in the business and the owner has shouldered all the finances. At the same time he would be nowhere near where he is without my help at this point.I am not sure what a fair percentages would be in compensation for continuing to be paid under market value. I am thinking about proposing a 5% stake with room to go down to 2.5%.I am also not sure how to communicate to him that if I did have a stake in the company I would be more motivated to work on growth and stratagies in my free time.Interested know how to best approach this with the owner. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

CRM for small web development company

I run a small web development company and the last couple of years we have been growing to a point that it is becoming overwhelming to manage a few small issues which add up and we’re not as efficient as we could be.The team is expanding and I want us to address these issues asap so we don’t lose time or money over small things that can be easily fixed.The main issue is regarding client management and I believe a good CRM software would really help us and that’s what I’m looking for your advice on.What would be very important for us, besides the actual CRM, are:Recurring BillingMost of our clients, after the web development, end up hosting with us or we provide them with maintenance, both of these services are based on either monthly or yearly fees. As the number of clients add up, it keeps getting harder to keep track of when a client needs to pay, whether he has already paid. So it would be essential for us that the CRM solution keeps track of recurring clients, ideally sends an automatic email (monthly or yearly) letting the client know payment is due and we can then check it as paid.Follow UpsThis one is not a must-have, but also very important (not sure if it’s standard in most CRM solutions). For leads handling, it would be nice to have automatic follow-up emails a couple of days after a proposal is sent.​For those of you more experienced in software development companies and CRM, we’d love to hear your feedback and also any advice you may have on scaling client management. Thanks! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Advice on Monetizing or Selling This Platform?

Hi everyone! I'm now the owner of Storypony, a site where people can share short stories and poems with one another.Featuring a similar upvote system like Reddit, I believe that the platform could be a nifty community for writers and readers alike. Now though, I'm a little stumped on how exactly to monetize this. A few things had crossed my mind:Paid memberships with bonus perksAds (though I think this would be a little intrusive maybe?)Sponsorships (not exactly sure how this would fit in)What do you guys think? I'm also considering selling this site; the entire basic foundation is already super solid and laid out anyhow.Would appreciate any input. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

How do I sell my business?

I co-own a small adventure park (climbing, ziplines and whatnot) and we just ended our 5th season. The customers are great, it's a pretty easy thing to do, almost no maintenence, almost no injuries and this season was the best yet.Still, I have almost no time availible for myself - what started as two friends doing a small side project, after 5years is dragging us both down a bit, because we've also gotten kids, entered several other projects and have almost no time remaining to drive this project as it deserves to be led.How do I enter the selling market in this funky covid time? Do I just post an ad? Do I call people whom I think COULD be interested? Do I contact other parks, if they'd be interested in expanding? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

it will cost your employer far more to replace you than it would to give you a raise. So ask firmly.

The cost of recruiting, onboarding/training, often exceeds the cost of paying an already established employee more. Just remember that next time you talk yourself out of asking for a raise. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I made an animated summary of "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. Hope you find it useful to you.

Link to video: https://youtu.be/oCNN2pyO5YcI release new videos often, if you’re interested in subscribing here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbLDMh6uGOZePAfqqjVZ-g?sub_confirmation=1If you'd prefer to read the script instead of watching the video, here it is:Getting Things Done By David AllenIrrespective of how you define success, to progress rapidly towards it, you need to be productive and an effective time manager.David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity is the best time management and productivity book in the self-help genre. It offers timeless advice that when applied, will transform your personal and business life.“You can do anything, but not everything.”David AllenIf you’re interested in this book you can get 2 audiobooks for free with a trial of audible using the link in the description of this video. Subscribe and turn on the notification bell so you don’t miss any future summaries.The Premise of the BookAt the heart of the David Allen’s book is the Getting Things Done system (GTD). At its barest, the system states that to do get things done, you first need to define what it means to have something done and what that process looks like.Once you have that in mind (and preferably on paper), you then need to get into a state of flow (workflow). Getting into this state requires that you manage where your attention goes, what that means to you, and when your attention is not on something that improves your productivity or allows you to Get Things Done rapidly and productively, refocusing on what matters and doing so as often as necessary.“If you don't pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves.”David AllenIn this book summary, we look at the key ideas you will learn from reading and implementing Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free ProductivityLesson 1: Employ pre-workThe Merriam-Webster dictionary defines pre-work (also prework) as “preliminary work, any work conducted as preparation for some other work or activity.”Whenever you are about to embark on a new undertaking, plan it out in the mind and then put it down on paper as fast as possible. This frees up your mind’s computing capacity.“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”David AllenPrework is all about organizing your work (what you need to do) so that by having a system in place, an idea of the steps it will take to achieve your aim, it shall be that much easier to remain attentive to the things that matter, the things that improves your productivity and allow you to get things done.“You don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it. When enough of the right action steps have been taken, some situation will have been created that matches your initial picture of the outcome closely enough that you can call it "done.”David AllenWhen you prework or preplan your work in your mind but preferably on paper, it becomes easier to recognize distractions including seemingly urgent tasks that eat away your time but do very little to improve your overall productivity at the end of the day.Lesson 2: Create a someday listWe all know the value of a To-do list: it gives us a broad idea of the things you want or need to do. What most of us fail to realize about a To-do list is that when the things on the list are cyclic and we barely take action towards their achievement or completion, they become counterproductive and therefore detrimental to our productivity and wellbeing.“It’s a waste of time and energy to keep thinking about something that you make no progress on.”David AllenGetting Things Done introduces the concept of a someday list, a list whose primary purpose is to help you get ideas off your mind so that they stop taking up your attention and mental capacity, and on to paper for later review.“Most often, the reason something is on your mind is that you want it to be different than it currently is, and yet: you haven’t clarified exactly what the intended outcome is. You haven’t decided what the very next physical action step is; and/or you haven’t put reminders of the outcome and the action required in a system you trust.”David AllenWhat ideas or tasks should go on your someday list? According to Allen, the items on your someday list should be ones that require incubation or immediate action but that are worth keeping for the future. By having them off your mind and on to a list, it becomes easier to concentrate on what you need to do right now, which makes you more attentive to important tasks and therefore more productive at days/week’s end.“Everything you’ve told yourself you ought to do, your mind thinks you should do right now. Frankly, as soon add you have two things to do stored in your RAM, you’ve generated personal failure, because you can’t do two things at the same time. This produces an all-pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pin-pointed.”David AllenConclusionTo become more productive, free your mind from the nonessential so that you can concentrate on what it essential and impactful to your ability to use time productively.I hope that was useful, have a great day!I release new videos often, if you’re interested in subscribing here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbLDMh6uGOZePAfqqjVZ-g?sub_confirmation=1I've made over 60 summaries of the best self improvement books, the links are below.Full playlist of them all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE&list=PLaNTB6oQAa0AYuul0tqUscg1ZLj_arZgaHere are the links:Make Your Bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7mBNcI2H1c The power of the subconscious mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNi9zDGaZtw Getting things done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCNN2pyO5Yc The power of intention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ezM3fIKHTY Deep work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SOQpjHKESA The magic of thinking big: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQRQ82AED8 The alchemist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcQjBghtxMU Blink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rie9Pkp4Ktk Atomic Habits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6u0X0CDEqU The E-Myth Revisited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHTVZRnE7g Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QU5Q3lyTqo The art of war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_5qhA2y-E4 Rework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsaZU-HW18k The lean startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QPZp--lJE The hard thing about hard things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl_Q3E5d33U Crush it!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onbmkc-29KI Delivering Happiness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiUWCZkHbA8 The personal MBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFpXccN3YEU The $100 startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqa1LqahOLE Zero to One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGtQjkSUahc Grit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUSy1Eo76s Start with why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgMnlf4jcYY The compound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nSIiAMnDY0 The Prince: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzVmhWFdwBQ The willpower instinct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz5EXLYxWDQ The slight edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sItMk2xS_ZU Meditations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul2nuHOnCPI Who moved my cheese?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQhJkIPHiyw The One Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS5lgHhbUoM The richest man in babylon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbnHlWFnWLs The power of habit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d366w-o8nhA Secrets of the millionaire mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1WjeoCw30g The 6 pillars of self esteem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5NRiB_-w10 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nGzZ9m_Xsg Thinking Fast and Slow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqw9dwxiKSw The 4 hour work week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWzSlAqO0g The power of positive thinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAdxM_19KBc The power of now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa7mAlLhD3w Think and grow rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btQNKjSy8Ww 12 rules of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InBOOy1eTU The 5 love languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPq4Vxh74jY Rich Dad Poor Dad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV31Wpr2Fl8 How to win friends and influence people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s61o8y22BpM The inside out revolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68OwvuqZEGo Models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs0d7Da8ufo Man’s search for meaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyXFQ5W0bMk The subtle art of not giving a fuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE How to stop worrying and start living: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUQXrEk52Ug The millionaire fastlane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrtjXONWVfA 5 extremely powerful techniques to master motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmRzDIisUeM Quiet by Susan Cain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzRcYLq63dU Extreme Ownership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMWeEyqWHe0 see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I've seen this a lot in different marketing for companies, but some of those companies aren't "local". They're just smaller shops, like they sell on etsy.

Starting a business with my expertise in PPC

I am a college dropout who was able to get a job in Digital Marketing but due to the pandemic, I haven't gotten a new job as there a lot of people in my field who lost their jobs who I am competing with. I always hated school and always studied by myself to get ahead. I have no debt and have money that I invested(not stocks) that I have seen a good gain from. Is it worth creating a business as I have experience with big budgets for Google Ads. I have one client who is my friend who has seen a substantial amount business due to PPC that I have been doing for him. My plan would be to start a business either managing people's ads or starting a lead generation business which I don't want to say here as I don't want competition.

Moving e-commerce company to another state

For those sellers that re-domesticated in other states, were there any major issues that you had to face?How did you deal with warehousing/forwarding when you were out of state?I'm currently based in CA, sell on Amazon, and looking to relocate to another state with no state income tax , e.g. Wyoming. Would I continue to have my freight forwarder send inventory to my 3pl based in California and then forward to Amazon's california warehouses? Would this create tax liabilities if I do it this way? Would it cause FTB to demand that I file a tax return as an out of state company? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

As long as you purchase goods legally, can you resell it without direct permission from the brand?

I have recently decided to start a shop and reached out to brand X. They then pointed me towards a distributor for which I made an account with. But after comparing prices - the landed price is 10-20% cheaper if I buy on brand X's online shop because they sell the product bundles which I can split up to sell individually.I emailed brand X two more times asking for permission to buy these bundles as opposed to purchasing through my distributor as it doesn't make sense for me to pay more than what public consumers can pay and they haven't replied.I know this seems like a product I shouldn't buy/sell, but it's sold out on my competitor's websites so I know that I will be able to sell them.Is it ok for me to just go ahead and purchase these items and resell them as an experiment? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Mayor Ed Koch, the pratfall effect and why brands should embrace imperfection and communicate their flaws

On a 10-day visit to China in 1980, New York's mayor Ed Koch saw thousands of Chinese using bicycles in big cities.Koch visited Beijing, Xian, Hangzhou, and Shangai, and he was super impressed. He saw bicycles everywhere. So he thought, "Isn't this marvelous? All these people are bikes. I gotta do something about that in New York City."When he got back to New York, Koch approved a $300,000 Plan to build bike lanes in Manhattan. But his plan turned out to be a nightmare. Bikers complained that cars were driving in the bike lanes. Pedestrians complained that bikers ignored traffic laws.Local businesses said that the lanes made deliveries difficult. And car drivers said the new bike lanes slowed traffic. No one was happy.New York was in the middle of a financial crisis. And Koch was coming up for re-election. So a local news program invites him for a 30-minute interview. A handful of journalists were waiting to attack him like hyenas after a wounded gazelle. Here’s what happened next (read here what happened).It was beautiful. And refreshing. A politician admitting a mistake. It was also classic persuasion.Koch ended up becoming a three-term mayor who rescued the city from financial ruin.In copywriting, one of the most persuasive ways to get into people's minds is to be open and admit your flaws. Psychologists call this the Pratfall effect, and it applies to people and brands.When you admit your flaws people tend to like you more. Because it makes you more human.Just look at these glorious examples: (Hans Brinker Budget Hotel, Listerine, 1970 VW, KFC)Thanks for reading.

🔥 Testing multiple niches at once

Here's a little experiment: I'm launching a commitment device website where you set a goal with a deadline, and if you don't show me proof that you've done it, you pay. It's like a mix of Stickk, Go Fucking Do It, and Boss as a ServiceThe initial idea was to call it "Publish 📝or Die ☠️" and aim it to bloggers. But then I realized this could be useful for other niches. And that some of those niches overlap.For example, a blogger who writes blog posts could also be...A maker, shipping products - he/she could use "Ship 🚀or Die ☠️"A musician, recording music - "Release 🎵 or Die ☠️"A runner - "Run 🏃 or Die ☠️"A person learning a language - "Duolingo 🦉 or Die ☠️"So I've created a coming soon page for "Publish 📝or Die ☠️" which also shows a list of the other variants of the product (including the ones mentioned above). Each one has the option to join a waiting list.This allows me to gauge the interest in each variant, and to decide on which one to focus on first.Any ideas or improvements on this? Feel free to apply this method to your product and let me know if it works for you. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Results are often the least important thing (what entrepreneurs can learn from the revolution of pro sports)

Moneyball recently came back to Netflix, so my wife and I took the opportunity to watch it for the umpteenth time. It’s an amazing movie. Billy Beane’s quest to change baseball by fully adopting an advanced metrics approach is inspirational, and is allegorical to disruption in any industry.In any industry, the status quo likes being the status quo, and accordingly will resist any efforts by an outsider to change things. Meaning that outsiders must push against mighty forces of inertia, often alone. While in startup lore the outsider has this incredible product which is secretly printing money (unbeknownst to the establishment) and taking over the world and it’s just a matter of releasing it and scaling, Moneyball presents a more typical story of how this process happens. The outsider has a hunch, some very-much-insufficient supporting data, and is simply willing to risk more than others are to see if his hunch is right. Throughout the movie Beane’s resolve is tested. Throughout the majority of the disruption process Beane is confronted with the possibility of his whole approach being wrong, and the failure and ridicule that that would bring.Even inside his own team, members of the status quo (who in any industry are often necessary to bring a new disruptive product to market, but who nevertheless carry the risk of status quo thinking) push against his goals, and tell him all the reasons why his approach is wrong. Why he should just give up and build a team how they’ve always been built. As the disruptor, Beane’s charge is just to keep going despite the resistance. To barrel ahead despite the reasons not to. Disruptive tech (be it an app or a system of analyzing player value) isn’t recognized as such until after the fact, and until that point the leader simply has to keep pushing against the system, often for no other reason than a stubborn refusal to give into the pressure.After he’s “convinced” his team (quotes because he simply fires some of them) to let go of his “best” players and sign people with higher OBP (on base percentage) regardless of their conventional value, then the pressure really ramps up.The product on the field doesn’t seem to work. For the first dozen or so games, his newfangled approach to team construction seems to be failing, providing early data that “proves” the old way is best. The data from the early disruption flies in the face of his hypothesis (typical in the disruption journey as well; at the early stages, success is often indistinguishable from failure when measured based on the traditional metrics of such things — wins and losses, in this case), providing yet another reason to simply give up and join the system.He keeps going.“A good process produces good results.” — Nick SabanThis is where Moneyball offers a critical lesson in the journey of disruptive technology, and why I think the movie as a whole is so instructive. At this moment, with all the traditional reasons to quit, Beane keeps going because the actions he and his team are taking (optimizing for OBP) are consistent with success, never mind that they’re currently failing.He sees that, in the long term, actions are more important than results. I can think of no better foundation for entrepreneurial success.Faced with a team losing games, universal criticism from the industry for his approach, and every other reason to quit, Beane doubles down on his belief that optimizing for OBP will, at the end of the day, be the key to winning more games than constructing the most talented team. He sees his team getting on base, and trusts his system to, over time, translate that into wins. And it does.This is echoed in the NBA over the last 10 or so years, with Darel Morey, former GM of the Houston Rockets, playing the role of the disruptor. “Moreyball,” as it’s called in the NBA, is built on the foundational belief that three-pointers are the most valuable shots in basketball, followed by layups/dunks, and that all other shots should be avoided. Around this belief (which, like Beane, eschews conventional wisdom in favor of simple math), Morey constructed a roster that could hit threes and dunks, and instructed them to let shots fly — never mind if you make them.In hindsight the efficacy of this approach is obvious, with every NBA team shooting 40 three pointers per night. As the Athletic described it last week, “results, often, are the least important thing. The process of what happens does matter, and following the numbers to their logical conclusions — about shot location, which players play best with one another, how to defend individual opponents and their teams, and so on — is just logical.” But for the first half decade Morey seemed misguided. His approach of focusing on shooting threes — not making them — seemed ridiculous, all the way up until they started winning. Then it became self evident. At this point, if you don’t shoot 40 three pointers per night you’re doing it wrong.“We should work on our process, not the outcome of our processes.” — W. Edwards DemingSuch was the story with Billy Beane and baseball. Beane’s A’s looked like a misguided science project until they rattled off an AL record 20-wins in a row. Now, every team in baseball has followed suit.Moneyball, like Moreyball, is a microcosm of what real disruption looks like. We think of it as a founder brashly moving a bunch of old stodgy guys’ cheese, collecting accolades and customers and revenue and rewriting the industry in a flash. But that’s only what disruption looks like after it’s recognized. Before that, it’s simply an entrepreneur with an idea that SHOULD work, pushing it up a hill while everyone in the world tells him why it won’t. While conventional success metrics tell him he’s failing.It’s an entrepreneur focusing on micro actions supported by an unproven hypothesis, rather than results.And, when that new way of thinking finally proves its efficacy by disrupting the old paradigm, of course the entrepreneur feels vindicated, righteous, excited, proud and all the things that you’d suspect. His novel perspective and a hell of a lot of persistence upset an entire industry; those emotions come with it.But given what it is really like to disrupt an industry, after so many sleepless nights and doubts as to whether he was simply crazy for betting his career on an unproven concept, second guessing himself at every turn but persisting anyway, given all that, when finally proven right, the first thing Beane feels is relief.If you’re a disruptor, trust the process. And keep going, friends. Second guessing yourself is part of that process.———From Second Mountain Startup the weekly newsletter for purpose driven entrepreneurs. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I made an animated summary of "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman. I hope this is useful to you.

Link to video: https://youtu.be/eFpXccN3YEUI release new videos often, if you’re interested in subscribing here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbLDMh6uGOZePAfqqjVZ-g?sub_confirmation=1If you'd prefer to read the script instead of watching the video, here it is:The Personal MBA By Josh KaufmanAbout The AuthorHis aim—with all his books—is to help you make more money, be productive, and have more fun and happiness. His key areas of focus are the fundamentals of business, solo entrepreneurship, rapid skill acquisition, optimal decision-making, personal science, and core human skills.The Book’s Main IdeaMental models are the book’s big idea. Kaufman notes that once you understand your mental models, the framework that defines how you learn anything, you can learn any business related skill and core business concepts and frameworks.By understanding and applying mental models, a universal framework by which we learn important business concepts, we rapidly improve our ability to understand, learn, and tackle complex business disciplines or frameworks.The foundational mental models Kaufman discusses in the book are (1) Value creation, (2) Marketing, (3) Sales, (4) Value delivery, and (5) Finance. Each of these models focuses on core business concepts, principles, and vocabularies.“Every successful business (1) creates or provides something of value that (2) other people want or need (3) at a price they're willing to pay, in a way that (4) satisfies the purchaser's needs and expectations and (5) provides the business sufficient revenue to make it worthwhile for the owners to continue operation.”Josh KaufmanA look at the main ideas shared in the book“Business schools don't create successful people. They simply accept them, and then take credit for their success.”Josh Kaufman1: Understand and utilize your mental facultiesThe functionalities of our brains influence our ability to learn core business disciplines, principles, systems, and processes. How capable we are of utilizing our mental faculties in relation to learning core business processes, principles, and models largely depends on a concept Kaufman calls the “Gas Tank.”For your brain to work at optimal levels, your “gas tank,” or your energy levels, must remain optimal at all times. To keep the ‘gas tank’ full, the author recommends a proper diet—eating healthy and balanced meals in the right proportion to your energy needs—exercising—exercise every day—direct sunlight—and adequate sleep—getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night.Most of the “gas tank” strategies recommended by the author require willpower, which has limitations and is not easy to practice. To circumvent this, i.e. our limited reserves of willpower, Kaufman suggests changing our environment—instead of our behavior—using a structured model. For instance, if you want to lose weight and ice cream is your kryptonite, instead of forcing yourself to stop eating ice cream, change your environment by avoiding its purchase altogether.“Save your Willpower: focus on using it to change your Environment, and you’ll have more available to use whenever Inhibition is necessary”Josh Kaufman2: Before you work with others, learn how to work with yourselfBusinesses are about interpersonal relationships and the ability to collaborate well with others to achieve a mutual goal. Effective collaboration with others demands that you first learn how to work with yourself, of which to do, you must first learn how to get into a ‘state of flow’, or as the author calls it, ‘how to implement the concept of mono-idealism,’ the ability to focus all your attention and energy on one aspect of your business/learning process.To utilize mono-idealism and attain a state of flow—Kaufman notes it takes the mind about 10-30 minutes to get into flow—he suggests eliminating all forms of interruptions or distraction from the working/learning environment.To eliminate distractions and interruptions, he offers suggestions such as muting all notifications, disconnecting from the internet, and working in ‘dashes,’ 10-30 minutes of focused, committed work. He also mentions mindfulness and focused meditation as a way to increase attention and the ability to experience flow.On working effectively on your own, Kaufman introduces the idea of MIT (Most Important Task), a concept whose main idea is to create a To-do list consisting of two to three important tasks you want to complete by day’s end. He goes on to note that attaching a deadline to each of these tasks improves focus and overall productivity.Conclusion“New skills create new opportunities, and new opportunities often translate into more income”Josh KaufmanTo learn new skills—or accomplish anything worthwhile for that matter—write down your goal, use one sentence to describe the motivation behind the aim (the desired outcome), create a list of necessary action steps, and track your progress using a trusted system.I hope that was useful, have a great day!I release new videos often, if you’re interested in subscribing here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbLDMh6uGOZePAfqqjVZ-g?sub_confirmation=1I've made over 60 summaries of the best self improvement books, the links are below.Full playlist of them all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE&list=PLaNTB6oQAa0AYuul0tqUscg1ZLj_arZgaHere are the links:Make Your Bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7mBNcI2H1c The power of the subconscious mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNi9zDGaZtw Getting things done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCNN2pyO5Yc The power of intention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ezM3fIKHTY Deep work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SOQpjHKESA The magic of thinking big: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQRQ82AED8 The alchemist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcQjBghtxMU Blink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rie9Pkp4Ktk Atomic Habits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6u0X0CDEqU The E-Myth Revisited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHTVZRnE7g Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QU5Q3lyTqo The art of war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_5qhA2y-E4 Rework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsaZU-HW18k The lean startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QPZp--lJE The hard thing about hard things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl_Q3E5d33U Crush it!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onbmkc-29KI Delivering Happiness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiUWCZkHbA8 The personal MBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFpXccN3YEU The $100 startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqa1LqahOLE Zero to One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGtQjkSUahc Grit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUSy1Eo76s Start with why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgMnlf4jcYY The compound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nSIiAMnDY0 The Prince: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzVmhWFdwBQ The willpower instinct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz5EXLYxWDQ The slight edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sItMk2xS_ZU Meditations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul2nuHOnCPI Who moved my cheese?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQhJkIPHiyw The One Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS5lgHhbUoM The richest man in babylon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbnHlWFnWLs The power of habit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d366w-o8nhA Secrets of the millionaire mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1WjeoCw30g The 6 pillars of self esteem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5NRiB_-w10 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nGzZ9m_Xsg Thinking Fast and Slow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqw9dwxiKSw The 4 hour work week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWzSlAqO0g The power of positive thinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAdxM_19KBc The power of now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa7mAlLhD3w Think and grow rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btQNKjSy8Ww 12 rules of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InBOOy1eTU The 5 love languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPq4Vxh74jY Rich Dad Poor Dad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV31Wpr2Fl8 How to win friends and influence people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s61o8y22BpM The inside out revolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68OwvuqZEGo Models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs0d7Da8ufo Man’s search for meaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyXFQ5W0bMk The subtle art of not giving a fuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE How to stop worrying and start living: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUQXrEk52Ug The millionaire fastlane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrtjXONWVfA 5 extremely powerful techniques to master motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmRzDIisUeM Quiet by Susan Cain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzRcYLq63dU Extreme Ownership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMWeEyqWHe0 see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

You all are looking for that great revolutionnary idea that will make you rich. But sometimes, you will meet or talk to people involved in projects that could use your help to grow. Having partners in a project where your talent fit in is possibly better than starting and wanting to control everything by yourself. If you join a team and you all go in the same direction, it will make your journey easier.You can still be an entrepreneur and create something as a team. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Help choosing name or what to do?

I am having trouble choosing a name for my business. My business partner isn’t great with choosing names (I am not either) and have not had much luck on Fiverr. I want to follow all the must haves for naming and be able to expand on our products at a later time so I don’t want a limiting name.I thought about making it something for now and just moving on to focusing on the business part but I have heard bad things about changing the name later on. I heard it is difficult to do and that I should choose wisely from the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, I am working and out there hustling but it is hard to do without a concrete name in place for our products.I’d love to hire a naming agency but we don’t have the funds for that right now and would like to spend them on creating an awesome product and marketing them.Any suggestions? In case you want to offer your creativity, the business is an online and offline business in which we sell awesome dog collars. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Does anyone else watch r/finds path for motivation to keep going?

I know it fucked up but it’s a great reddit to just be subscribed to as it literally shows off everything us as entrepreneurs strive to get out of like indentured time, every time I see a post it’s like they know what they want but just don’t understand or even see entrepreneurship and the struggle to free themselves as an actual option. I don’t wanna harp on these people dont get me wrong they are all well ahead of me in life I’d bet, but I also can’t understand them and the 9-5 retire when am 65 life grind and how that’s the only option that whole reddit sees it blows my mind.Edit: am typing this on my phone while taking a shit so yeah, lots of mistakes. It’s r/findapath see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

The fifth Dimension.

A little abstract but I promise there is a point.We all know about the three phisical dimensions; height, depth, length. These describe the dimensions of the object so that one is able to set aside phisical resources to work with the item.Then you get into the proposed fourth dimension: time. The first three dimensions can be irrelevant on a practical level if you never organize time to make it happen. Humans have a limited amount and allocate it differently depending on their motivation.I suggest the fifth Dimension being recognized as "who". Being human and social creatures, no action is made unless it benefits someone. Some act to help themselves, some for posterity, some the greater good. No energy is expended except for the better of someone.No business is contracted except for the better of someone.When it comes to branding, I have seen many posts about "should I choose x or y for our brand?" logo, name or other varieties of decisions.Each time the same question needs answeredmm:n o. Who, are you helping? Is it a CEO, small mechanic shop, Family plumbing business, hipsters, the nouveau riche, ect, ect ect. Each of those have highly specialized views of themselves.Even though your solution may help everyone, odds are you don't have the marketing power to reach them all. When you personalize your target customer, and I mean that singularly, you will make a more profound effect in your brand.Your message will be simpler, clearer. You will be able to paint how you can help your customer actually identify how you can help them and stand out from the noise.TL;DR: Do the work and decide who you help the best. It'll make following decisions easier, and get you better clients. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

How to close the information gap when clients submit RFQs?

Hi Everyone,I’m currently working on a small engineering team of six people. We’re relatively new in the space but we do a lot of fixes/builds for companies in our area. Recently, we’ve been getting a lot more RFQs in and have responded with some solid proposals. Our proposals have great templates we can use for different scenarios, though, we’ve noticed there is an information gap between what we are given by the client company and what we find out along the course of the project. This frequently causes rework to happen during project cases and we’re looking to eliminate this issue. Ideally, we would like to standardize the intake process so we are missing as little information as possible at project start. We are not facing an issue with winning the bid, rather, we are missing needed information that may not have been included in their schematics/our questions which is causing the rework to happen.However, we are the service company, so we don’t want to hand out forms for clients to fill out and we definitely don’t want to come off as less-than-capable when asking for tons of extra information. We know it really depends on the customer as to how helpful they will be, however, because we are newer to the space, we are getting project request that we haven’t done in the past that leave us with a lot of uncertainty.If you, yourself, work for an engineering company or have experience with this, it would be AWESOME if you’d offer suggestions. Karma coming your way if you do!!Again, during the RFQ /Proposal submission process, we are looking to close this information gap as much as possible so that we can work more efficiently and effectively, with less uncertainty.Thank you so much,Trevor see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Should I seek funding or not?

I'm starting a saas project soon and I'm thinking about it all the time and have a clear vision of the first 3 months of the project. I hired an overseas dev (not the brightest idea I know, but I don't have other options as I live in a small country). Once the software is ready I will hire 2 sales persons and will let them work from home. I'm also considering hiring a fulltime dev as the overseas one is very annoying and insecure.I'm planning to pay each employee 1000$ per month and my initial marketing budget is 1000$ per month as well. I can cover these expenses for around 10 months assuming that we're not making any money at all. If we have sales then I'll increase the marketing budget and reward the staff and save some to keep the business alive in worst case scenarios.As for the management it's just me so far, I have some knowledge and been reading and watching videos about various topics and I have my fair share of past failed attempts. I have no co-founders or investors and I don't want to approach anyone unless it is really necessary. In most of my readings I find that big companies are still seeking funding even when they're already well established and making millions in profits. This thing is making me question my decision about not seeking funding for my project.Maybe there's something I'm missing or maybe it doesn't apply to my case, I don't know. But I would appreciate any experienced opinion on this, Thank you. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

What are some things to know/be aware of when paying someone to build your site?

I have no tech background at all, but have an idea for a site that I want to build, with an idea of how it should look and function.In terms of getting this built, I am looking on sites like Fiverr or upwork, but have never outsourced something like this before. How does payment structure work, what information do I need to provide etc?I see some charge per hour - what is to stop them from taking forever to complete my request or not even finish it?Another point is how do you ensure they don't take your idea as their own?Thanks for any help in advance. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
