What are your thoughts on using credit to invest in private equities?

Is it crazy to think that someone here might want to immediately get at least 5 new projects and 10 times the profits from your happy customers without them having to pay anything more? DM me or comment “5-10-infinity!” if you want details about testing this new technology.

“How could I partner up with someone?” This was a question asked by a young person just getting started in the agency business. I gave the following answer. In case it might be helpful to others who might not see it buried deep in a comment thread, I have reposted it here: There are lots of ways to partner with people, from a simple affiliate arrangement to a full blown joint venture. They all boil down to a basic quid pro quo, or “I give you this and you give me that.” So, start by figuring out what specifically you can give. And what specifically you would like in return. Then find folks who have what you want, and are willing to trade that in exchange for what you have. For instance, I am in the process of setting up partnerships with folks who have certain skills that they are willing to use to perform certain tasks that produce certain results in exchange for shares in the corporations I am setting up. In other words, I am setting up the business and providing the use of particular pieces of intellectual property. Each partner has developed a standard package of their services. One partner might be a copywriter who has pledged to provide copy for ads, a sales funnel, sequences of emails, etc. I’ll not take the time to list all of the elements of their particular standard service package here. Suffice it to say that it is pretty comprehensive when it comes to copywriting. We negotiate a price and delivery terms for that standard service package and apportion a certain number of shares to them in exchange for their providing it to us. Another partner, a graphic designer, has created a standard package consisting of such things as a logo, letterhead, responsive web design, etc. In short, everything a company needs in terms of graphics. Again a price is set, shares apportioned, etc. We do this with each partner. That way, everyone is clear about exactly what they are getting and exactly what they are expected to give in return. It helps the team.

Find Your Why The Easy Way - Just Pick From One Of The Following People often tell you to “Find Your Why”. If you are anything like me, you might overthink this, and get overwhelmed by the question. It seems like you need this deep, abiding world changing, paradigm shifting, awe inspiring reason that emanates from the core of your being and powers everything you do. That may be true for when you get stuck. But you don't need that to get started. I have found that it is much better to just pick from one of the following and get moving: God told me to. Avoid pain Increase pleasure It seemed like fun at the time Just because I could To rise to the challenge To become a better version of myself I was just curious and wanted to see what would happen I was being driven or chased To leave a legacy It seemed like a way to make easy money It looked like a shortcut to something else I want My parents or somebody else in authority or that I admire told me to I wanted to be like Mike I was afraid of what would happen if I didn't I saw someone in pain and wanted to help I saw a need and wanted to fill it Someone or something annoyed me and I wanted to stop the pain These are all fairly shallow reasons to do something. That's okay. Start with the shallow. Figure out a deeper reason “why” if you need to later. The key is to just take immediate action now. Even a little bit of action like setting an appointment with yourself to revisit the idea and see if it still has merit can go a long way in helping you make your dreams come true. Why do I say this? Because you really only need a deeper “why” when you hit the obstacle that makes you consider giving up. Until then, you can get started and power forward with just the shallow reason. When you first think of doing something, there is a certain amount of power and purpose behind the idea. You may not be able to articulate it well, or even at all. You just know that it feels like a good idea, so let's just start and see what happens.
