What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

Your failed attempts. I tried to make a dog gift box subscription site like www.barkbox.com

Completely failed. Lost about 5k, but the extra stock was helpful in getting stealths up and running.

I realized that all my efforts in playing stealth for the last 4 years was worthless, I could have put all my money in bitcoin in 2009 and at the end become a multi-millionaire by just working at mcdonalds for 8 years until everything went all the way up last year.

Brother begged I help him with his second last failure.

He was flogging off spare parts of the Asian variety. He wanted them BAGGED.

I spent hours sewing bags, breaking sewing machine needles,and he did not even sell enough to pay me.

I wanted another lot of cryptos.... he did not bite

There will be a next time.

What's an investment option where the vast majority claim it will go nowhere in future?

When I first started my side consultant business, I went and bid on large contracts that I would not win - lost quite a bit of money in the process of travelling, hiring tech and graphic design help, etc.

Fba.....
.

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

Hell, I still have hundreds of FBA items on my suspended account from summer of 2017

The FBA removal has been "processing" for 7 months!

Thats like $5000 sitting lost somewhere in a warehouse. I've had at least 30 cases over this timeframe and a dozen phone calls. Amazon FBA is ****ED!

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

It is good for high volume new items. But that is it. One offs are not worth it

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

I think I have failed at everything I have ever been successful at. The best education you can get is learning from your failures.

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

^^^ SOOO much this!

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

You should keep an eye on 888lots.com because there's a good chance your "lost" inventory will end up for sale there.

The cryptocurrency war is over and Bitcoin had already won. I think in the near future we will see Bitcoin getting scrapped and replaced by tokens such as Ripple, these tokens will be used by banks as a feature from the future that will make them even more profits.

Bitcoin had not been regulated from the beginning and the big players really do hate it > expect major crackdowns to follow in the next few months.


I personally think that people who invested in Bitcoin when it sold for pennies are the luckiest people that ever walked the surface of this planet.

I personally think there is no more money to made off Bitcoin, the game is simply over.

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

Amazon has a special paragraph in their terms of service which reads something like this:

"If we detect that you are doing something illegal on Amazon (i.e: fraud), we might forfeit your money indefinitely"


Seems like they're kicking a lot of sellers and keeping both their money and inventory.

Same.

I’m a bit of a basketball nut and always loved this quote:

“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” - Michael Jordan

I’ve lost shops and failed meeting my own expectations but I kept on going and I’m still in the game because I didn’t let the losses define me.

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
 

I failed miserably at being a male prostitute.

Apparently they expect you to be good looking and in shape.

Re: What are ways in which you have failed at making money?
