How do you vet a supplier?

I'm looking for advice here. I've been talking with a manufacturer through Globalsources. I was searching for them specifically because I wanted to source directly from them as I trust their product.

The sales rep requests 100% payment upfront for the first order. They want a bank wire transfer. (TT)
They are a Chinese company with HSBC bank Honk Kong.

My question is how do I verify the bank info they sent me? I don't have any reason to doubt them other than being cautious that they are...

University as a Fastlane foundation

Hey guys,

I know this forum probably isn't the best place to ask for college advice, but I still decided to post this anyway, since I would like to get some advice from people with similar mindset, or maybe from someone who was/is in similar position. Thank you in advance for your advice.

So, here is my problem. I'm currently in the final year of high school and I'm deciding on what to do next. I feel like attending college is the right choice since it's free where I live and I don't have...

Building the Process

I wanted to introduce myself and say a huge thank you to MJ for writing his two soul jarring books.

I’m married with one daughter, Eleanor, who is almost three. These two are a big motivator for Fastlane thinking and doing.

As far as my actual story goes, I’ve been in the Slowlane for the past 10 years while I’ve dabbled with potential Fastlane roads. During college I read Rich Dad Poor Dad which got me interested in Real Estate. I read a lot of books on Real Estate but then got tired of...

Should I buy this business?

So, I have started a small side business, which is a local service business and is very niche with nobody else doing it in my area. I started a thread on it here: EXECUTION - Overall Look at a Local Service Business

But, while I was networking and talking to people I know that run local businesses, I randomly found someone that would sell me his business. I know him very well...

Facebook Ads: Create Custom Audience from a Group?

Alright Fastlane brain trust. I need your help here.

I’m considering doing a crowdfunding campaign for my business. The great thing about my niche, is that there are several large, active support groups for the illness we serve. I’m active in the groups and have gotten the blessing to post the campaign there, but we know reach and engagement can be random on big groups.

The largest group has around 40,000 members in it....

Is there a way to create a custom audience to target those...

Or even give me any tips on fast shipping and maybe a company that i can pay for fast shipping
Thank you

REI - Developing the Capital Stack

• I am going to meet with some small community banks that are known to invest in the local area
• My packet will include my resume, pictures of the houses that I have built, and financials
• Am I missing something? I am admittedly a bit nervous about meeting with them
• The goal is to develop a capital stack so that I can buy some properties after we go into a recession

Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone, I look forward to becoming familiar with the Fastlane Forum, I've read both books by MJ and still continue to listen to the audio version of Unscripted during my drives to work. There is just too much to absorb in just a few reads. With that said, I'll keep in my introduction short. I'm in the Pharmaceutical Sales world and yes its a cush job, but totally unfulfilling and I can certainly go on a rant about that. I also have a real estate business with 2 flips in 2019 and in...

Scaling eCommerce Chronicle - updating - own product, online shop, amazon - latest weekly profit: 700+

Hi all,

after a lot of reading I decided to participate in this fantastic forum - it might give inspiration and I might get some good help! Can't be asked with a blog, so this might give me nice little motivation and clear historic view of what actually happened when.

Goal - be able to quit the office. That will need at least about 5k profit gross / month (double the current net income, due to pensions, security etc).

How to get there - scale an online shop to the absolute MAX...

A Falcon's flight

From this month I've made a change in my monthly schedule: I'm dedicating the first workday of every month to strategy and administration.

This will be the day from now on when I don't do anything else than evaluating the previous month and doing the important-but-not-urgent administration things that I tend to postpone for months if I am not forced to do them...

Rich Dad's latest scam?

I've been seeing adds for "Rich Dad's Boring Trading Method" in my news feed. Out of curiosity I clicked on one and was taken to an "advertorial" (what the hell?). In it Robert Kiyosaki claims that he wants to help you get rich investing - using his boring method. All you need to do is attend his Weekly Cash Flow Summit. I'm so disappointed in Mr. Kiyosaki. RDPD was the first entrepreneurial book I ever read. It opened my eyes to the possibility of a different life. After a few years...
