    How I created a candy selling empire in my high school

    Posted: 06 Jun 2019 07:36 PM PDT

    At the end of summer I quit my job. So I did not have a source of incoming coming in any more. So I needed to figure out a way to make money for the school year so I could do stuff with friends. I am in lots of sports so I did not have enough time to get a job. So I came up with the idea of selling candy.

    So I went to Sams Club and bought the big packs of starburst and sour patch kids and watermelons. I also bought Takis. I bought the watermelons and sour patch kids for a 24 box for about $12. So I sold every pack of candy for $1. So I made $12 every box of candy I sold. I then bought a box of Starburst of 36 packs for $20, So I made $16 in profits after every pack I sold. I then bought a box of Takis with 48 packs for $10. I then sold the packs for 50 cents each making lets just say around $20 a box of Takis after I sold everything. I would then get all of my candy and probley spend around $80 every trip to Sams.

    I would then go on Instagram and Snap chat and post on them telling people the prices of the candy I was selling and telling people they could pre order from me before I sold out. So the first day I started selling I sold around 30 packs of candy. Making around $25 a day. This went on for a month at a time. But then people got bored and stopped buying. I would also only sell during class not lunch.

    So after about a month of selling sales started to drop so I stopped selling for about a month. The reason for this is funny. For example people love drugs. When you have people on drugs they need it. When they don't have their drugs they go crazy. So when a crack head does not has his drugs he wants them more then ever before. So that is what I did with candy. So I stopped selling for about 1 month and people starting begging me to sell again. Because they were used to getting candy everyday but could not anymore. So after 1 month of not selling I would sell again. So sales would go up again. So over the course of last year I would sell for maybe a month and a half then stop selling for 1 month. I did this over and over again.

    I never did get in trouble for selling candy. Teachers would see me selling candy and either be impressed or did not care. At one point I even had people working for me and giving a percentage of the sales they made. I would be the only one buying the candy I would supply them the candy for them to sell for free.

    I also had people try to compete against me but I would eliminate the competition. What I would do is make deals with my competition. So I would tell them to only sell chocolates while I sold sour candies and Takis. The reason for this is because if we both sold the same candy we would both loose. Because we would have to split the amount of customers we could be selling to. I also had a bigger amount of customers and I would tell them this so they would not sell my candy. Or I would get my competition to work for me and they would sell my candy and get some of the profits that they sold. So I never had any competition for people trying to sell my candy I sold. I also never got in trouble for selling candy.

    They also later on installed vending machines at my high school. This was rly good for my business. The reason for this is because more people would bring money to school to buy snacks at the vending machine. But the problem the vending machines had was that they were very expensive. They would sell starburst or sour patch kids for $1.50. While I sold the same candy for 50 cents cheaper. They would also sell 1 pack of Takis for $1. While I sold them for 50 cents a pack. So what I would do is take pictures of the vending machine prices and tell people my prices. I would post this on social media. So the vending machines got me more sales.

    So my sophomore year of high school I made around $1,500 in profits of selling candy. I would only sell during class. I also used social media so customers would come to me. So I created a black market or cartel of selling candy at my high school.

    P.S. Sry for any grammar mistakes,

    Bad in bedroom, bad in boardroom?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 12:43 AM PDT

    Noob enterpreneur here. Should I consider love life decisions of people when evaluating competency and choosing co-founders/business partners. Meaning, is there a correlation between making shitty proffesional decisions and having no back bone in relationships, being fine with being cheated on or making shitty calls about sex partners? Please do enlighten me.

    Why would I set up an LLC in a state other than Delaware or Nevada?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2019 06:37 PM PDT

    The title of the text pretty much sums it up. I was curious as to why an LLC would choose its home state(let's say california) to organize itself as opposed to a state with friendlier business laws such as Delaware?

    MS in Finance Question

    Posted: 06 Jun 2019 04:36 PM PDT

    I just completed my undergrad with a BA in Econ with a 3.3 gpa and have just began working as an underwriter for an insurance company. I'm interested in pursuing a MS in Finance, but due to my not so stellar gpa and lack of strong technical background, I'm unsure if I have any real prospects. I know I won't get into any of the higher ranked programs, my goal is to just get in anywhere. I know this may be a vague question, but do I have any chance of getting into a program at a lesser known school? Is there anything I should do to enhance my resume, such as certifications or other learning? I'd appreciate any input from anyone familiar with the process. Thanks!
