/biz/ noob here. Are there any good alternative to Rich Dad Poor Dad? Lots of folks have been recommending it to me but I feel like something is up. I suppose it's a good enough introduction to things but I think I should read up some more. Any recommendations?

I started with cashflow quadrant. After reading like 3 more of his books I read rich dad poor dad. I still think cashflow quadrant is the best. It changed my way of thinking on how I view assets. I then went to school for accounting and the simple fundamentals like that are not even understood by many cpa's.
how do you deal with the massive amounts of stress in business and making money in general?

If you were more organized you wouldn't be stressed.

How do you start a company when you are a salaryfag and spend 40+ hours a week working?
What are some good ways to get funding? Besides salaryfagging all the way to a big amount.
make a business plan and get funded through a bank loan or crowdfunding or other source
you probably can't manage a business while also wageslaving
>>1081171
You quit your job to start the company.
Nobody with a functioning brain would fund anything that you can't be bothered to quit your job for.
Business ideas that you haven't put into action yet:
1. Dating app/site without photos.
2. Fashion guide based on google searches for items etc. in your area.
3. Note sharing website for the NZ uni market.
What about you?

I'm working on a social manipulation gig. Like pretending to be feminist or gay to have a bunch of core followers and then advertise things to them to raise money for this and that.
>>1081160
>1. Dating app/site without photos.
That is the worst idea I have ever heard.
>>1081244
I thought of a variation of this idea, but I don't think it's wise to share

How does one sale bank accounts? I'm a Branch Sales Officer in a bank and want to sale accounts and other products of the bank. How do I it?
>>1081117
1. Find out what your bank offers over other banks.
2. Decide what is the greatest differences and focus on those traits.
3. With these traits figure out your targeting market. New family looking for a house? elderly looking to retire? youth looking for credit?
4. Organize an ad campaign to sell that trait to those people.
5. Thank me.

Is it possible to apply for a credit card with a bank by writing new terms yourself? For the sake of simplicity, consider a case where I only wanted to increase the cash back percentage.
In 2008 Dmitry Agarkov received a letter in his mailbox, in it was a credit card application form with an agreement contract enclosed, much like the applications. Agarkov filled in the form and returned the signed application, though what he sent back was not exactly the same document the bank had sent him.
Agarkov changed some parts for his own benefit -- most notably, the small print. He opted in for a 0% APR and no fees, and added that the customer "is not obliged to pay any fees and charges imposed by bank tariffs." He also changed the URL of the site where...

Anyone in the service industry here? Managers or anyone in fine dining?
I'd really love to serve in a fine dining setting but I don't have prior experience serving in anything close.
A VERY popular spot in my city is holding open interviews this week and I plan on paying them a visit.
I've been serving for over a year at a higher-end chain ($16-$25 per entree) but didn't learn a few key things that would probably be really beneficial. To be specific, I don't know too much about wine like how to differentiate between them or their characteristics....

>don't know too much about wine like how to differentiate between them or their characteristics.
This is pretty easy, anon. You poor a little wine into a glass. Swirl it around a bit. Drink it. Then you pick up the bottle and read the back of the label.
Op it's doubtful you'd have anything to do with wine if this is truly upscale. They hire people specifically for that job. So I wouldn't worry about the wine. Just go in and do the application process. You have experience in service and that's anyone looks for in servers.
Talk with a French accent during your interview, it will make you look knowledgeable.
How hard is math in economics guys?
P hard senpai.

And this is the document I sent to Oanda's document upload to verify my ID when trying to learn how the fuck one opens an account and being sent in circles for 10 minutes around their useless help section.
This is supposed to be my ID. The fuckers were asking about everything from my net worth and occupation to my SSN without even giving me a fucking clue first what I was in for.
So my response to every question just to get through their gauntlet of questions was pic title.
Which ultimately got me this screen lel
I still didnt learn much about wtf to expect before handing money over.
Fuckers. They used to have a decent help page. Now its gone basically hidden and you have to guess at everything. The help section is a bunch of pages with one or two useless sentences on each one, so you end up clicking in circles like some lab chimp trying to get a treat. Motherfuckers.

As an aside, how was the Madoff show this week? Did that billions series or whatever start yet? Im out of touch on the pop culture circuit. I rely on others to thin out my options a bit with recommendations.

I worked in a coffee shop for a year and my social incompetence made it a living hell.
I now work in a job where I don’t have to interact with anybody.
Consider a career change OP.

Nah, it's usually better to focus on the areas where your natural talents lie than to try to get good at something you naturally suck at.
What is insider training - like where is the line drawn?
A company I've invested in is planning on extending into another geographical market - they announced this in their mid annual report in September.
If I email their support and ask "how are you progressing re: expanding into x area" and I get a response from an employee fully explaining the current progress being made and ETAs etc. - then buy shares using that information that is not public knowledge - will that get me in trouble?
I'm confused.
Insider trading is information that is not publicly available.
A company expanding isn't insider trading
An email from the CEO telling you that the company stock is going to rise of fall tomorrow and to buy or sell is insider trading.
>>1080799
What OP is doing is inside trading because the public won't know the progress of the companies expansion until the next report, so OP can short the stock if it isn't meeting what they claim.
>>1080806
But it is public knowledge if they would send the same response to anyone that asks?

I have no credit history, and I want to build up my credit score so I can get a loan later in life, what is the best way to get max score?
I have no debt history of any kind, just a regular bank current account.
Also what is your credit score?
How old are you? Register to vote if you haven't already.
Use your current/cash accounts regularly, ask for overdraft, go into negative and repay it on time.
Ask for credit cards, use them regularly and repay them on time.
Just transfer between multiple accounts, pay your bills and credit cards on time, increase the overdraft every once in a while....

Also: I will Teach You to be Rich is a great book. It has an entire chapter for helping you improve credit. I suggest you read it for a good base.

Good afternoon /biz/.
I'm a 19yo that just started school with an MBA in mind. I've finally gathered the balls to start my own business, no matter how lowly it is. My idea is simple, I go around door to door and vacuum people's cars. I considered detailing and maybe oil changes, but after speaking with a renowned mechanic, I've learned it is not worth the investment and responsibility to perform oil changes and detail cars. (Auto anons can relate)
I live in a fairly suburban but yet rural community filled with 40-60 olds, mostly white. Low to...

My car looks like shit inside! I would pay up to $20 for just a nice vacuum and dusting with a squirt of a fresh scent. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I have no time for doing it myself and would pay a fee similar to a haircut. Good luck anon! I hope you do it successfully and franchise it to NEETs.
Hello folks.
41, married with kids, 150 acres int he Berkshires. Have about a million in savings and stock market. I get nervous keeping money in the stock market. Have recently put a small home we own on Airbnb to goo results. Wondering about buying a home to have my money be in something "real" in case the market drops.
That being said, seems like if the market drops I won't want this house that I need to sell.
Was thinking about putting the same 200k into building 4 homes on our property. Super basic (2 small bedrooms, small cook area,...

Not crazy because I have researched similar set ups as this. Seems to be catching on in Scandinavian countries. But good luck trying to get people interested in the US. Sounds too much like a hippie commune for true red blooded Americans to take seriously. Maybe a that's what you are going for though?
>>1080721
I know a great many people who would love to buy homes like that.
And their all dirt poor idiots.
Where in the Berkshires are you? Are you trying to cater to the New York clientele?
