$15,000

[Phantom]

I just got $15,000 transfered into my bank account from a cash settlement from an accident, I always dreamed of having my own buisness, I wonder how bruce was so successful... Should I Invest in some company? Should I buy Stocks? Should I start my own buisness?, this seems like a great opportunity to get something started, Tips would be greatly appreciated... Thanks.

That\'ll be kind of hard since I live in NYC, lol what\'ll I do with all those EMU\'s throw em in central park?

[Briela]

Hook them up to a cart and make them work. Can\'t you see it? Emu drawn carriage rides through the park... you\'d start a hot new trend!

Watch out NYC!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Are Emu\'s Edible?... I was thinking of buying all these APC bottles off this guy and reselling them, I can make lots of dough [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]


Still looking for ideas....

You could spend it all on WAGG--by which I mean \"Weird-Ass Genius Grants.\" I\'m envisioning something like the MacArthur Foundation grants, but weirder. And cheaper. Fund only those who do research on bizarre topics: UFOs, Atlantis, Bigfoot, alternate history, perpetual motion, etc. Actually, you could put me through college, although I\'m not quite as weird as all that stuff.

P.S.: When I tried to edit that other post (the one about The Prisoner), the system said that the time limit was up & that I couldn\'t change it.

[Phantom]

oh, I never got that kind of error before I guess I make the corrections right when I post it.

After starting my own business, I went through far more than $15,000 in a few months. Some was wasted on ineffectual adverstising and some went to good use. Before you start any small businss, decide what you are good at and like to do. Then do your homework. Get the demographics of your customer base down and how you will market your product, etc. Have all your ducks lined up before you even consider opening your doors for business. The small business administration (SBA) has a lot of useful publications on what to do and how to do it right.

Most small businesses fail. In my opinion, they fail due to lack of planning and funding. Your best hedge against that is to plan everything then leave a huge fudge factor because you are going to make a bunch of mistakes. We all do.

Expect to work your a$$ off the first few years. Then, if things go your way, you\'ll get to slow down and let others carry some of the work load. But that means carefully selecting your people then training them to do the job right. It\'s difficult to do but well worth the effort.

That said, I think going into business for myself was the single best decision I ever made. Good luck if you decide to follow that path.

If you are computer inclined and know much about the realm of the internet and internet based programming (HTML, PHP CGI, MYsql) you could start up a website dot com business. It depends on what service you would like to offer, many online companies are powerful and rich due to the content they provide not a product. Sort of like yahoo.com with its search engine aka content. There are many ideas that have not yet been delved into and on the cost side it should not be much I have a dot com and I only pay $8.25 a month on bandwidth though bandwidth pricing can go much higher.

lol get this, I found a distributer that has offered me:


Re: Min. 1kg of 5-androst-16-en-3-one
At USD11600.-/kg CNF net USA by courier;
Paid by T/T in advance;
Available in 10days from T/T arriving date;
Packed in 1kg tins.

Thats only $11600 a Kilo not a Gram!, I can probably make my own pheromone concoction and sell it online. I say it\'ll cost me about $600 for the bottles and about $1000 for the fragrance, thats only $13400. With one Kg of None I could make 200,000 Primal\'s with a total profit of $13,986,600.

The 5-androst-16-en-3-ol is a little more:

Re: Min. 1kg of 5-androst-16-en-3-ol
At USD17600.-/kg CNF net USA by courier;
Paid by T/T in advance;
Available in 10days from T/T arriving date;
Packed in 1kg tins.

So i\'ll probably only be able to buy the aNone, I know friends that are chemists and would probably do all the work for me. Who knows I might get lucky [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

\"CNF\" Customs, SOMETHNG, Freight? What\'s the something? What\'s CNF stand for?

[Phantom]

[druid]

those guys in pornos get paid? man i am gonna kick my guidence couselor\'s a$$. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

[Gerund]

Yeah, they make about 10% of what the women make. They even tried to organize and go on strike for higher pay at one time.

(Obviously, they couldn\'t go on strike to demand better working conditions! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )

[nonscents]

Okay, Phantom. You made me search for 45 seconds.

Cost and Freight
Means the price of the goods includes the cost and freight. Insurance, if any, is for the account of the consignee or receiver. (C&F or CNF).
