I found as many suppliers as I could (games to even tyres).
1st I would see if there were a market for them.
I would open an account with them regardless if I were in the industry,
They assume that u r. Later down the track I would tell them that Im not, but by then they dont mind, coz by then youre a huge buyer. They hold stock for me + send directly to my customers. I have no employees and virtually no expenses. I advertise on a website similar to Ebay. I have over 40 suppliers.

thanks dude, what …
thanks dude, what is it that you do though? you said you make 3x what u made at your last job, just curious- what is it that you do? (your business)/how does it run? thanks!

cool, what country …
cool, what country are you in? I am in Japan and there are vending machines everywhere. Think of places that people need products and put a vending machine there. For example, my college had a vending machine with paper, pens, and emam forms.

Putting your butt …
Putting your butt in a corner means that he had no where else to turn. Desperate situation. If you have to do something then you will do things that you never imagined you could do. In a corner is like a boxer hitting someone in a corner of the ring or a dog chasing a cat and has cornered him, this cat will be able to defeat this dog because of this motivation, while the cat would never fight a dog in the first place.

I apologise. Your …
I apologise. Your idea is great and I love it. I can see a lot of potential with it. It is very similar to what I do. After refining that idea to the point where you do minimal work as possible but still offer the great service, I suggest you try to come up different things that you can do using the same concept, but with different items or services. You’d be very surprised what you come up with and after a while you while realise that the concept is limitless in potential.

oh sorry dude, I …
oh sorry dude, I was just curious- i thought you had some special answer, wasn’t bashing your suggestion.
Hey, may I ask what it is you do currently? I am very interested in the world of entrepreneurship & always ask any business owner/entrepreneur about their business every time I get the chance. I’ll tell you bout me- I recently quit my job & started a small “Bulk Vending machine” business. i put little vending machines in restaurants that sell toys, & split the net w/the owner

I make enough money …
I make enough money to allow me to do whatever I wish to do, when I want. I came from working minimum wage to making 3 times as much as the business I was previously working for.
The advice I gave the fellow entrepreneur was from my own experiences, that advice aided me in my successful quest for financial freedom. Not until you have tried what I suggested can you say what is smart and what is not. Try it instead of condemning something that is considered different.

why would you …
why would you reccomend he spend the most money possible on that book?
Financially that shouldn’t be smart, like if you were running a business & this expense suddenly came up. “Ok Now, all of a sudden In need to buy this book” It’s common sense for that business owner to try & find the best deal possible, so it doesn’t dip into his profits. If you generated $200 in sales today, but you have to spend $50 on a book, than leaves you with 150, if you can find the book for 10, than you get 190?why

all of uf have excuses about not following our dreams, not trying, not persisting enough… ” i would like to do that, BUT you see there is that thing going on… i would do that, BUT the time is terrible… BUT, i dont have the connections…etc” We let our BUTs be our excuses why can’t be, do, or achieve more. Got it?

If you are serious …
If you are serious then you will do exactly what I say. Unfortunately it can’t be explained in one sentence and you have to fix in your mind that success and riches can’t be obtained instantly without giving something back in return. There are steps you must take to become wealthy. First: I would strongly recommend you purchase a book called: “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Second: I want you to buy this book at the highest price you can find. Third: Read the book and get back to me.
