poverty will motivate you soon enough.

>>1459897

Look at the back end, like manufacturing (closer to raw materials the better) and waste disposal.

The media never talks much about trivial parts alloy die cast zippers, but you look at a high end sports coat or a cheap pair of pants and they gotten, so somebody got paid to make'em and ship'em. You dig and you find you can go into a universe of rabbit holes my friend. Like the good old soda can patent wars, make tech companies like Apple look nice.

I love this stuff, and could go on for hours. (didn't see the movie, not my style)

But it really annoys me how many people say "well go make it happen" like I am some magical bill gates. An Esty level business is never going to work as fools flood the market, and the big boys have connections and millions in supporting infrastructure I just don't have.

Fed road building in the usa...general labor makes 50$/hour... operators 60+ / hour

so trips, there is really no niche that isn't filled or that won't be filled. if you manage to find one and start a business in it you will have to pay your dues to much richer people ( jews ) or else they will destroy you and your company through various methods.

my advice is either be part of the system
>inb4 conspiracy nut
or do what >>1460273 said, look for endeavours dealing with more raw material rather than finite producs, but that will require more cash to invest, and sell your business before rich investors destroy it and buy it for a dirt cheap price

nah
converted lofts are always located downtown, you can't find any cool old industrial buildings elsewhere
no one with any money to afford that wants to live downtown, gentrification is a media lie and white flight is still in full effect
that's why i was surprised to find all these lofts cost roughly the same or less than typical apartments in the surrounding suburbs

>>1459869
Yeah I can see that, what about in more sprawling types of cities where things aren't as central?

Something else I've been reading a lot about is how profitable section 8 can be.

Don't look at asthetics, keep your eyes on the numbers. Also go to biggerpockets.com

>>1459842

Why the fuck is >Buy low, sell high< so fucking hard to understand? Why? Idiot

>i want instant profits on my investment

still havent dumped them since the split missed the first good exit, only 5k worth though so`i can wait.

>>1459839
Suck cock you scumbag

>>1459839
>I will scam
That's illegal

>I will swindle
That's illegal.

>I will debase myself
Nobody values you anyway.

>I will do anything
Judging by your post I'm pretty sure you're too dumb to get rich in all ways except by luck.

Maybe playing the lottery is a better choice for you than doing anything else. Higher chances of success.

>>1459862
No those things are not illegal if you find the right loopholes, which people do all the time, you don't know what you're talking about. Also, judging by your post, you seem like a dickhead who needs to insult strangers on the internet to feel good, so I can bet more people value me than you.

You can expand and end up having like 20 kiosks is 20 locations, each one building a network of businesses whom you deliver for.
If someone buys something and wants it gift wrapped and sent to a friends house (for a birthday or something), that can also be done.

If someone wants to have a meal, delivered fresh to his office when it's his lunch time, he can have that done.

If it gets big enough you can expand to digital on demand services, and potentially sign contracts with even bigger shops, to deliver for them.

I can also imagine that the holiday seasons will treat a business like this very well.

>>1459808

why bother with kiosks instead of online?

>>1459798

I like how there isnt even a sales pitch anymore

>>1459807
How does it go? The salespitch

i bought in @ 8.5 so I'm happy

If you don't understand it, don't buy it. That's a good rule for investing.

If I understand correctly he's suggesting you buy 'Bonds'. And without looking it up, if I remember correctly interest rates on Bonds are pretty shit in Northern European countries at the moment, you may make slightly more than a term-deposit though so you'd be better off.

Shop around. See what other banks are offering -- I mean if they are government bonds they'll be the same. But see what it compares to what you're earning on your savings at the moment.

>a guy from my bank called me

I'm sure he's looking out for your best interest. He definitely won't make a commission or anything like that.

>I have zero experience with buying obligation

Well, why not learn some new, expensive lesson today?

>>1459878
So government bonds are fine here now? or are they the same always?
>>1459883
Is it something I can just learn? I'm afraid I'll screw it up. He's probably very good at bonds and things like that but I'm sure he will also charge me for his help

sell them shit and get affiliate moneys

Contact local businesses and offer to advertise them on your page

>>1459767
Offer local businesses the chance to advertise on your page. 6,000 is not a lot though and people hate adverts.

how much did you lose OP

Don't worry OP, everyone loses a job in their life

cause what happens if there are several dips

you going to buy every single one? as the stock continues to plummet not only do you have to buy the dip, you have to double down, triple down to ever even hope to make money cause RARELY does a stock rebound to prefirst dip prices atleast in the short term

>>1459736
Under the presumed scenario you'd still be doing your own research on stocks and taking your best chances.

>>1459740
people only have so much money to throw at something unless you have unlimited funds

heres a scenario

>have 20,000
>put 2000 into stock A, put 8000 into other stocks
>oh no! stock A dipped!
>ill buy the dip! pour another $2000 into stock A

>it dipped again!
>pour another 2000 into it!
>hmm, i only have $6000 left, i wanna buy other stocks
>put 6000 into other stocks

>stock A DIPPED AGAIN?
>oh no! i sunk 6 grand into it! do i put more money into it? but that would require dipping into my savings account...

>it dips again
>it dips again
>the never ending spiral never ends

Protip: Peter Schiff's dad got sent to the slammer for not refusing to pay federal income tax. Statutes and regulations mean fuckall. The big dick of the IRS will continue to stretch the ass of our bank accounts until we see a full scale revolution. But I dont think there will ever be a country on the face of this earth that doesn't have an income tax ever again.

>>1459723
For not refusing? explain pls.

You're pretty much good if you shield your assets from the IRS and offer full payment on conditions if you receive a notice from them. The conditions being they provide evidence that you are liable for income tax. In the index of the IRC it lists liability for taxes and income is not one of them.

I think Irwin's problem was that he filed forms like the W4. Those forms are for waiving your rights and confessions the government will use against you in any way they can. You can't be forced by law to submit a W4 because the only employees subject to withholding are resident aliens and foreign corporations.

>>1459721
>the IRS can't legally tax income
You'll end up in prison despite this.

Old standard.

>>1459715
Not trying to dissuade anyone from reading books, but I think for the kind of stuff you're talking about the best practice is... well to practice.

I actually would suggest for the emotional intelligence and communication stuff, take up an acting class for a couple of months. It'll help you work on your body language, your diction and vocal projection, but also one thing they teach you in acting is how to really analyze language, and play with something. You can take the same sentence, the same words and make it mean many different things.

As for time management:
>GTD by David Allen
I haven't read it but I've seen a lot of his lectures and it's light on the pseudo-science.


>7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Read part of it, it's full of fluff. the main take outs for me were:
>Always think in terms of mutual benefit instead of competitively
>"Keep Sharpening the saw", whatever your skill set is, don't let it get rusty, constantly be working on it and improving it.
This is a good insight:
>"You can find a clue to whether you now have the proactive habit by looking at how you speak. Do you find yourself using these expressions? “That’s the way I am.” There’s nothing I can do about it. “He makes me so mad!” My emotional life is outside my control. “I have to do it.” I’m not free to choose my own actions. For all of us, there are many things that concern us that we can’t do anything about, for now. But there are also things we can do. Proactive people work on their circle of influence - the people and things they can reach - and spend less energy on their much wider circle of concern. By keeping their focus on their circle of influence, they actually extend its area. As you become more proactive, you will make mistakes"

I also forgot, for emotional intelligence look into:
Transactional Analysis by Eric Berne

Interesting little book that seems to over simplify human nature into a series of games, and three archetypes: Adult, Parent, Child. It's really useful tool to think of certain situations, and once you start reading the book you'll start seeing these situations appear all the time.

>>1459851
Now having said this, I suck, SUCK at time management so if anyone can suggest something that gives some workable techniques, I'd be very grateful.

Where I think I failed to gain anything from GTD was because I can't prioritize.
GTD is great if you know what you want to do, and by "know" I mean "know how" you will do it step by step. It has great advice like:
>"Anything you can finish in the next 2 minutes, do it NOW"

But the bigger picture stuff, prioritizing is where it was of no help.
And this is also where 7 Habits failed to help me, it's got this great thing about quadrants.
However, deciding urgency, evaluating if something needs my attention now or if it can wait is where I just fail horribly.

>Sorry for the blog. But this is my personal experience with this literature, your mileage may vary.

b

Look him in the eye, give him a firm handshake.

>what questions can i expect

how much you make
how much you made the previous year in comparison to this one
what are your other financials like?- followup internal brain question- "am i throwing my money into a singularity"

>How should I prepare myself for the meeting

dont shave, shower or brush your teeth for ATLEAST a WEEK before the meetup. Wear an old faded ratted up hoody; preferably gang related. Scratch up your face with your finger nails all crystal meth addict like.

When he first comes in the room ask him if you can borrow $40, and be right back in 10 minutes, you need to go to a street corner for a second

>corporate police state
Does what is best for the corporate police state. It was all initiated to get rid of the slacker so they get rid of the slacker weedman and keep the meth head or whatever.
Better yet, replace the lot with third world immigrants on work visas, or best, outsource the entire operation to China.

>>1459656
The police state thing was more meant as a point of exaggeration to solidify my personal opinion on drug screening, but okay.

>>1459653
Fire the slacker and sweep the other one under the rug. If its simply an excuse.

Personally I think employers shouldn't be able to do drug tests unless its for safety and then it should be on the site swaps not piss tests.
