Introducing... WEALTH EXPO$ED, A Short Story By MJ DeMarco

Finally!

I just launched a short story on Kindle (FREE if you have Kindle Unlimited)! After several weeks of modifications, I put my short-story up on Kindle. You might be familiar with it -- it is the heavily modified (and extended) version of the argument I overheard as a limousine driver. (This Kindle version is 4 times longer with 4 times the smackdown!)

Here is the synopsis:

Can a short 18-minute conversation I overheard from a millionaire make you a fortune...​

CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

I've been meaning to write this post for a long time. It's basically the story of how I started a digital marketing agency to be able to do cool stuff. And I would like to give you a nice little checklist that you could use as well if it interests you.

I started my business in 2010. Since then, I reduced my own work load to less than 10 hours a month, lived in Mexico for 4 1/2 years, traveled to 15 countries, and am prepping to head to Scotland for 6 months in Sept - all...

Can I please have advice on how to make sure I take over my family companies well?

I am 22 and in my last year of college. I am from outside the US. Our family is very involved in the community, we have a family bank, funeral home and park, trash company, and apartments. I have worked for my Dad every summer the last few years. He is an old man (73) and is going to retire soon, but we both know I do not have the experience to take anything over anytime soon.

And this is my concern. I do not know how I plan on getting that experience. Our family businesses are confined to...

Doing the Andy Frisella "75 Hard" Challenge

Maybe you have already heard of this challenge - the 75 hard challenge by Andy Frisella who runs The MFCEO podcast (I think the top business podcast for over two years).

Putting out Content daily - let's see what happens

So this is my first thread on this forum, but I guess it's a good way to monitor my progress as a freelancer and at the same time give you some insights on what's going on.

Okay, first things first...

In September 2018 I started on the side as a freelance copywriter. With all the tipps from this forum I setup an Upwork account and got my first client by sending him the article he was looking for, for free. He was impressed and gave my more work for the next two months. This was a content...

Indentured Servitude to an Entrepreneur

Sorry folks, this is a long one.

I’m not totally sure why I’m here or what I’m hoping to get out of this forum. But I’ve listened to/read Unscripted three times and TMF twice, all within the past two months. They have been eye-opening to the stories I’ve been told all my life about the choices I should make and the path I should lead. At 24 years old, I feel like I’ve been given foresight into my future and what it could become, for better or worse.

I have never really subscribed to the...

7 year plan

Our youngest child should be graduating high school in 2027. If we send an extra $1350 a month to our mortgage we'll be debt free by 2027.

We'd shave off a total of 21 years and 9 months from our mortgage and save $95,600 in interest.

The only other debt we have is a car note that should be done in about 5 years. Even with the car payment, we can still save $1600 a month up until graduation. That's assuming my business income doesn't increase (which it is). The pandemic has really given...

I'm absolutely new to this, would love the perspectives of some of you ladies and gents who have...

Do I Have a Chance? YouTube Niche struggle

So I started a YouTube channel in my native language on self-improvement a few months ago. I knew even before starting that I would have been the first to do videos on this niche, since in my country the only videos that are popular are about Fortnite, Call of Duty and pranks.

After 2 videos (which took me 1 entire month to produce) I now have negative thoughts arising. "Why the F*ck did I choose to do this?", "Who's gonna watch my videos?", "How do I make this niche popular?".

Is Computer Science the most valuable technical skill ?

Almost all young multimillionaires own a web-based business, and people say business guys with no programming knowledge are likely to fail, so have we come to a point where computer science is the most valuable technical skill to learn ?

I'm going to go from bankruptcy/£240,000 personal debt to a life of freedom using Facebook ads.

Ok, where do I start with this? This is long so i'll break it up into smaller more readable posts. Your time is valuable so I hope you can get something out of my story.

Yes you read it correctly, my name is Paul and at the time of writing this, I'm £240,000 in personal debt and on the verge of bankruptcy.

If my story prevents just one person from making the same mistakes I've done then this will be worth it. This will also help me document what I'm going to do to fix it.

Is it possible to buy your way into a C.E.N.T.S business?

I have came to the conclusion that I cannot come up with anything original or innovate at all. Neither in conceit or execution. I'm vastly ignorant about business anyway, so I figure that it's probably best that I don't start a business. I've been thinking to instead buy a business that is already fast lane or potentially close to it. As I'm better at improving and expanding upon already existing ideas rather than coming with my own. So essentially just buy an independent business as cheaply...
