Have you tried the SBDC? Small business development center? I am using this to start a business around my podcast and it's free. They give you a business advisor and you can meet one on one with counselors.

I'm a huge DJ fan and I really like shark tank but that story was :wow:


nah havent heard of that...I'ma check it out though.

and why are you a fan of him? I watch Shark Tank religiously

and the dude enjoys rejecting people....he doesn't do it in a blatant manner like Kevin

but you can tell by his mannerisms

he only mainly did that in the first few seasons though, he chilled out on that as the show became more popular

but he still gets the urge to do that though, I can tell by his face lol

Idk if he rejects out right I think he just has his specific niches that he stands by strongly. I feel like he's been more reserve in the past but now he's been bidding at more things.

making this product with my hands is a hassle and it is time consuming

I also have a full time job

I remember a few years ago I had like 400 orders in only a week and it took me almost two months to make them and ship them all out

I also believe that that was one of the reasons why many people didn't re-order because I had allot of angry customers

mass producing is essential to me...I can't grow my company if I can't meet demand right?

I'm actually limiting myself right now, I'm actually AFRAID to put out advertisements

cause I dont want to wake up one morning with like 5,000 orders

and not being able to meet that demand, and then have 5,000 angry people

you can drown in success if you're not careful
How'd you get 400 orders in a week?

Apart of me thinks youre either some kind of scrub or beard oil. Those are the only two hot selling products in that niche that you wouldn't necessarily need fda approval for and something many have been making by hand in the last few years.

Yeah and I ain't trying to shyt on nikkas because I am a nikka and I love nikkas. I try to help my brothers and sisters all the time if I know something they don't.

You have brothers like Jason Black that will give you the whole game away for free because he UNDERSTANDS HOW CAPITALISM WORKS.

A lot of Black people got this stupid ghetto mentality and treat capitalism like some neighborhood street shyt, like I am on the block over and this nikka on the block on the right of me won't give me the plug cause I'ma steal his turf.

This ain't street shyt nikka. In regular square life, people cooperate. Even fukking rival governments share fukking secrets and train together and share information.

There's a reason why WHITE PEOPLE GIVE THE WHOLE GAME AWAY FOR FREE. You can find some of these White bloggers out here, mind you, they young, like in their early 20s and 30s. They might not be millionaires but they be making low to high 6 figures, and they will tell you step by step. Anything you want to know. They'll tell you how to sell an independent best seller. They'll tell you how to game Amazon. They'll you how to make a wordpress page. They'll tell you how to sell fukking domain names. They'll tell you how to make a email crawler, a web crawler.

Everything I ever learned about making money...was from a White dude.

A nikka, will be on some, "It's hard out here, I ain't gonna tell you how to do it, you gotta do it yourself and learn yourself. Nobody gonna give anything."

nikka I am asking you for help because you and me are both Black and we in this together. :dahell:

White boy though, "Anything you wanna know I am here to help you...":smugfavre:

White people and Asian people understand COOPERATIVE COMPETITION.

In real everyday fukking life, people cooperate and compete at the same fukking time. That's how you make a damn market. That's how you develop the productive power of a people and society. Capital is created by entrepreneurs and shyt. We need to be able to take care Black people as whole. We need medical programs and breakfast programs and after school programs. How we gonna do that if nikkas don't wanna build capital? nikkas just trying to make money.

nikkas on "I got mine, you gotta get yours.":yeshrug:

"The game is sold not told nikka." :francis:

"nikka it's hard out here, you gotta get it yourself.":troll:

Then nikkas wanna stunt on you. "nikka, I am self-made what you got?":russ:


And the funny thing is, nikkas, like Daymond John, whatever the fukk his name is, got help from fukking Samsung, manufactured and distributed his shyt.

Nobody do it alone and by themselves and know everything. If a brother is humble enough to ask for help, you should be humble enough to give it to him, not be on some stupid street shyt..all vague and shyt...

"You know, you just need to do some marketing.":sas1::sas2:


White people help their own and Asians help their own. Why are you so trusting of them? Whites have a history of fukking over different ethnic groups now all of a sudden they are the trustworthy ones? They burned down Black Wall Street. I don't get the impression they want to help blacks succeed. Asians don't hire blacks for any of their businesses they put up in the inner cities.

Also, please read the articles in this thread regarding the Hasidic Jews and what they are doing. Def. not helping black folks out:

I would totally rep this...

The dog eat dog world is just game on the masses of suckers that think it's really cutthroat and it's really not like that.


It is cutthroat. people aren't good deep down. You can't really trust anyone, I think even you alluded to that in one of your posts. Study the history of white people and asians and how they treated other groups if you believe in some kumbaya world. That is the story of humanity people screwing over other people.

It's not helping as a whole, it's the information they give away for free about things like business and science.

Black people like to hoarde information and be secretive. Black people don't put each other on as often as we should.

Yeah, Black people should share information with one another that I agree with. Dissapointing what Daymond John did to the OP in this thread.

There are quite a few business owners on the coli, myself included that would gladly help you for free, now granted, health and pharmaceuticals are not in my expertise, but sometimes even a second pair of eyes from an outside source always helps. I got to know Damon John a little from my time working for MTV, the dude's best attribute is his hustle and that he knows how to generate income from essentially nothing. While I agree that you definitely didn't get your money's worth I think the biggest takeaway is that there is no magic bullet, it's more like do you have the finger to pull the trigger until your finger falls off.

There should really be a business section on the coli that's private. I love seeing you all trying to help each other push for success. :salute:.
I saw people commenting on this above and I do believe black and brown people do help pull each other up . For me I just feel like its hard to find those role models in those fields i'm pursing because they are are hidden or there are just so few brothers and sisters in the field.
