    building a business as a youngster with no Formal experience

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 11:47 PM PST

    Hello everyone. I find myself in an interesting position.

    Long story short is this. I was approached by the owner of my local coffee shop at which I am a regular customer. Found myself discussing my current schooling and the fact that I am pursuing my second undergraduate year of marketing was interesting to him. He sat me down and expressed an interest in creating a sort of inner circle, looking to expand the business and is interested in having me oversee marketing efforts, as well as the possibility of me becoming a partner.

    This coffee shop currently has one location, with a second about to be constructed as well as a potential third possibly in the works.

    I have an above average knowledge of social media, having used it to ship my photography page, as well as some experience creating content.

    I also have some formal education from 2 years of an undergraduate degree, and some ambitious ideas that this guy seemed to love right off the bat.

    But as someone who is only 19 and never held such a responsibility, how do I go about making sure I dont bite off more than I can chew? I trust my capability to bring value to their brand, I am a supporter of the product and can attest to the customer experience these guys foster being remarkable. Having never navigated these waters, I do not want to get overzealous.

    Thank you for your time, first time poster. Much love.

    Things You Should Give Up If You want to be successful

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 05:18 AM PST

    Successful people don't make excuses. They get work done and don't let petty circumstances come in the way of achieving their goals. When most people think of success, their mind wanders to the healthy habits and characteristics they need to incorporate into their life. There are certain things that are universal, which will make you successful if you give up on them, even though each one of us could have a different definition of success. Becoming a great giver upper is essential to succeeding at the things that are important to you. Give up the stuff that is holding you back from becoming a great designer.

    1. Stop saying YES to everything: Successful people know that in order to accomplish their goals, they will have to say NO to certain tasks, activities, and demands from their friends, family, and colleagues. In the short-term, you might sacrifice a bit of instant gratification, but when your goals come to fruition, it will all be worth it.

    2. Stop Blaming others for your mistakes:

    "The day you stop blaming others is the day you begin to discover who you are truly."

    This is likely the most important lesson that you need to learn. You are going to make many mistakes if you attempt anything remarkable. You are going to hurt people, create disappointment and cause confusion and chaos. The best way to make these right is to apologize.

    The best way to apologize is simply to say, "I'm sorry." No excuses. No drawn-out reasons. Just powerful words and an attitude of sincerity. And when you do, the results are mind-blowing. You solve problems faster, win the confidence of your clients better and make yourself more accessible to everyone around you.

    3. Stop Expecting life to be fair:

    "Life is never fair and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not." - Oscar Wilde

    Stop pretending like you're the only one who has bad, unexpected circumstances happen to them. A lot of things that we like to call "unfair" are real outcomes of the decisions that we have made in the past. We make risky decisions and then cry "unfair" when our gamble doesn't turn out with us hitting the jackpot. That's unfortunate because there is a valuable lesson that could be learned if we stopped pouting and started listening.

    4. Taking Rather Than Giving: From a scarcity perspective, helping other people hurts you because you no longer have the advantage. From an abundance perspective, there is not only one pie, but an infinite number of pies. If you want more, you make more. Thus, helping others actually helps you because it makes the system as a whole better. It also builds relationships and trust and confidence.

    5. Give Up The Fixed Mindset: Do not let yourself believe that your intelligence and talent are fixed virtues and that your success in life will be based solely on your traits. Successful people know this. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it can benefit their lives.

    Remember, who you are today, it's not who you have to be tomorrow.

    "In the fixed mindset, when you fail; you're Failure - In the growth mindset, when you fail; you're LEARNING."

    6. Don't multitask: Contrary to what people believe, your brain cannot focus on too many activities at once. Multitasking splits your focus and you end up doing yourself a disservice as you can't commit your full energy and commitment to even a single activity.

    "Multitasking means Screwing Up several things at once."

    7. Following the crowd:

    "Don't follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you." - Margaret Thatcher

    Idiots do stupid things. Sometimes a lot of idiots do the same thing together. The thing you are missing out on are the results of idiot behaviour. Many times your industry is heading is a good direction and it feels safe to follow the leader. But instead of achieving greatness you get the "success leftovers" of everyone else in your industry who gets to the finish line first. Take the time to go your own way. Have an idea of your own. Dedicate yourself to pursuing your own brand of greatness.

    8. Give Up Fixing Your Weaknesses: We live in a society that emphasizes the need to be well-rounded. Successful people hardly ever tick that box – instead, they know, embrace and manage around their weaknesses. Fixing weaknesses is just another strategy to play safe – playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Change your focus from fixing weaknesses to capitalizing on your strengths – because you will grow the most in your areas of talents.

    "Focus on emphasizing your strengths instead of fixing your weakness."

    9. Stop Waiting To Start:

    "Stop waiting for the things to happen, Go out and make them happen."

    If you don't purposefully carve time out every day to progress and improve — without question, your time will get lost in the vacuum of our increasingly crowded lives. Before you know it, you'll be old and withered — wondering where all that time went. There is no degree of "Live your dreams.". Life is short. Don't wait for tomorrow for something you could do today. Your future self-will either thank you or shamefully defend you.

    10. Ignoring Your Vision For Future: No matter where you are right now, you can have any future you want. But one thing is for certain, what you plant you must harvest. So, please plant with intention. Mental creation always precedes physical creation. The blueprint you design in your head becomes the life you build.

    Don't let society tell you how your house should look. You are an artist and a creator. Your life can be exactly how you want it, whether or not it's considered a "mansion" by others. Home is where your heart is. Hold the vision, trust the process.

    "A man without a vision is a man without a future."

    Neighbor wants me to get into golf for business in future

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 04:58 PM PST

    I'm 14 and I started playing golf and having someone coach me and I'm enjoying it

    Information; My neighbor (Dads best friend, sisters god father, family friend). founded and owns a insurance brokerage, salesman, and is a real estate investor. My dad is a partner in the 25th largest accounting firm in US.

    My Neighbor wants me to divert my attention to golf as my grades are decent and will stay that way. He told me that golf and business go hand and hand together and business is easier if you are a good golf player. My dad does not give a shit about golf but simply nodded his head when our neighbor was talking to me about golf.

    My neighbor has hinted multiple times at me getting a internship and eventually working for him as he told my mom I have most "raw talent" he's seen in anyone.

    A. Is his advice about golf and business true?

    B. Is it a bad or good idea to eventually work for a family friend?

    C. Should I give a shit about any of this?

    Thank you

    The difference between gross Profit and Gross Margin? And when to look at each? (With my spreadsheets as an example).

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 01:28 PM PST

    Hello guys,

    I'm by no means an expert at this so please bare with me.

    I run a business shipping clothes worldwide.

    On my spreadsheets I'm trying to alter my shipping charges to the US so that my profit is the same as I achieve to the UK.

    In order to do this I've always looked at the Gross Margin %.

    However I've just realised that in fact the best figure to look at is surely the Gross Profit figure.

    I've realised that even though the Gross Margin % to the US can be LESS than the Gross Margin % to the UK, I can in fact be making more money.

    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm just wondering why Gross Margin % is always touted as the better metric analytically speaking?

    See spreads here to see my point.

    https://imgur.com/a/nxmsM

    You can see that although my Gross Margin to EU is LESS than my Gross Margin to the UK on a lot of those lines. The profit is in fact MORE!

    I know this is obvious but then why have I always been told to look at Gross Margin % and not Gross Profit?

    Thanks guys!
