Sometimes you win sometimes you learn.
Re: Sometimes you win sometimes you learn.
Don:
The ironic thing is our ONLY distribution channel was a few Gift
Shows. We were taking orders at the Show. Just think if we would
have stayed on our course, we probably would have built the place one
or two bricks at a time. My partner wanted massive results? One or
Two times out... come on!
are doing, also believe in the process the course teaches and
customize as well, we are human> John is a very resourceful and smart
teacher and businessman, I mean what better way to create a global
community in trading and commerce than to maximize all the tools of
the internet. I am sure that it took him a while to ponder this
concept. Then one day bam! The idea comes to you.
One method of idea generation is (only one of many) immerse yourself
in first a general area of information. Start with a problem
etc.---
Gather as much information as possible from whatever medium.
Reading,talking with people,internet. Really study and immerse
yourself and continually ask yourself, how can I better this? How can
I make it available? etc. The longer you focus on that "process" the
more likely your mind will spring into action.
Someone suggested that I write down 2 ideas each morning for making
money and keep a journal of it. The concept being,eventually it
should be a natural thing of idea generation- There is no such thing
as a bad idea.
One last thing, the trading course taught by John uses the concept of
synergy, which is documented in a book called "Think and Grow Rich"
by Napolean Hill. Mr.Hill, talks about forming a "mastermind" group,
which the course essentially is, with people who think
sympathetically and harmoniously towards a single minded goal or
outcome. The group meets twice a month and brainstorms, problems,
goals in spirit of synergy. 1+1=3. The ideas that can come out of a
group is oftentimes more substantial than that of a standalone person.
My friend was in the hospital pondering his upper neck injury. He
wore a neck brace. From here he starting thinking about how he could
use this misfortune. A few months later he developed a card board
neck brace that immobilizes a victim's neck at the scene of an
accident. If you are ever watching the news and you see people being
put into an ambulance or being moved with a stretcher, that's his
idea. The idea came from a broader perspective...The rest is history.
Don that will be my total response. My 2 cents at least for another
year or so. Also, a hard lesson: don't be afraid of falling down, get
back up go meet a buyer,sketch chicken scratches until it makes sense.
Focus on your outcome not on the problem> I don't have ideas>
experience> money>. Focus on the target. Start your own mastermind.
To me the course is not only a course in Trading it is a course
generally in doing business well and staying in business by avoiding
the pitfalls of overspending and most of all being extremely
imaginative. Using our own abilities and instincts.
I will continue to pursue ideas and use my accumulated knowledge
towards creating "good business".
Thanks again, John.

Sometimes you win sometimes you learn.
RE: [spiers] Sometimes you win sometimes you learn.
If you never fail...you'll never succeed! Failure is a college wherein
learning is most remembered. It took 3-4 failures before success. Clothing
store, restaurant, heating mfg plant, auto sales...all failures (clothing:
taught me inventory control; restaurant taught me timing and labor cost
controls; heating mfg taught me marketing and perseverance; auto sales
taught me how to deal with people, how to close and ask for the sale, and to
overcome fear of asking and rejection.)
Then came success in private gymnastics school ownership of 12,000 sq ft &
400 kids in which the profit bought me another asset (assets put money into
your pocket every month/liabilities take money out every month)...a
nightclub. I turned the nightclub into a casino and a $350,000 note into
$2.5 million sale. Don't quit, keep learning...keep trying. Surround
yourself with a team of good advisors (CPA, Attorney, etc.) and listen to
them before making any decisions. Get the good ones, the ones that cost $250
hour and specialize in what your needs are. Remember you get what you pay
for. Cheap team, cheap advise! And lastly...get tuned to
http://www.richdad.com and then wealth of business info that lays before you
there. Spend money to improve yourself...education doesn't end with college.
Learn about money/finance...then play the game well. The game of business
ownership. Anyone can get a job (make money for someone else) or buy a job
(a business in which you work harder and longer than if you worked for
someone else...specialists like doctors, attorneys, accountants, etc
(remember if they get sick or something that prevents them from
working....they don't make money). To own a business means that even if you
don't show up...what you started or bought will carry on beautifully without
you and sent the check to you every month (assets). Assets buy more assets
(rental houses, other businesses, stocks, bonds...all produce $ for you
every month). Expenses that create $$$...they are. Good expenses. Not like
bad expenses or liabilities that take money out of your pocket every month
(your home, your car, your boat, a trip, new electronics to play with). Ask
yourself, "If it can't help me make money every month...do I really need it,
or just want it. Good expenses make you richer, bad expenses make you
poorer! What do you really want...when have you set your goal to reach
it...on paper. Enough teaching and preaching...I'm flying to the East coast
to buy a Sea Ray yacht, with money I got from another asset. Then with the
continued income from that asset...I'll buy another.
Import/export is good! Don't quit with one failure. Kick back, reevaluate,
gather the cash...and go again!

Understanding Currency

article may be helpful with its fundamental explanations.

The Supply-Side Gold Standard: A Critique
by Frank Shostak
[Posted June 27, 2002]
According to "supply-side" economics, the key to economic growth and
prosperity is low marginal tax rates. However, the supply-side school also
maintains that a low marginal tax rate will not be sufficient, that it must
be accompanied by a monetary policy that aims at achieving price stability.
The pillar of the proposed monetary policy is a gold-price rule, where the
central bank targets the dollar gold price at a specified figure.
Let us say that the Fed has concluded that the "correct" target must be $350
per ounce of gold. If the price of gold falls to below $350 per ounce, this
is indicative of growing demand for money, which the Fed then must
accommodate through open market purchases of government securities, i.e., an
injection of money into the economy. As a result of this injection, the
price of gold will go up.
Conversely, if the price of gold rises above $350 an ounce, it means that
people's demand for money has fallen and that the central bank must take
money out of the system. By selling government securities, money will be
taken out of the system. This, in turn, will exert downward pressure on the
price of gold.
Observe that, for supply-side proponents, gold is not money but rather an
instrument to stabilize the present paper standard. The chief role of money
within this framework of thinking is that money fulfills the role of a unit
of account. Since it is imperative that this unit must remain stable in
order to fulfill this role, supply-siders hold that anchoring the dollar to
gold will do the trick. This, in turn, will make the dollar as good as gold.
But is the definition of money as predominantly a unit of account valid?
Defining money
The purpose of a definition is to present the essence--the distinguishing
characteristic of the subject we are trying to identify. A definition aims
at telling us what the fundamentals of a particular entity are.
To establish a definition of money, we have to ascertain how the money
economy came about. Money emerged because barter could not support the
market economy. A butcher who wanted to exchange his meat for fruit might
not have been able to find a fruit farmer who wanted his meat, while the
fruit farmer who wanted to exchange his fruit for shoes might not have been
able to find a shoemaker who wanted his fruit.
The distinguishing characteristic of money is that it is the general medium
of exchange. It has evolved from the most marketable commodity. On this
Mises wrote,
There would be an inevitable tendency for the less marketable of the
series of goods used as media of exchange to be one by one rejected until at
last only a single commodity remained. Which was universally employed as a
medium of exchange; in a word money.[1]
Since the general medium of exchange emerged from a wide range of
commodities, money must be such a commodity.
Consequently, according to Rothbard,
Money is not an abstract unit of account, divorceable from a concrete
good; it is not a useless token only good for exchanging; it is not a claim
on society; it is not a guarantee of a fixed price level. It is simply a
commodity.[2]
Moreover, "an object cannot be used as money unless, at the moment when its
use as money begins, it already possesses an objective exchange value based
on some other use" ( Mises 1980, p. 131).
Why?
In contrast to directly used consumers or producers goods, money must have
pre-existing prices on which to ground a demand. But the only way this can
happen is by beginning with a useful commodity under barter, and then adding
demand for a medium to the previous demand for direct use (e.g., for
ornaments, in the case of gold). (Rothbard 1981, pp. 3-4).
In short, money is that for which all other goods and services are traded.
This fundamental characteristic of money must be contrasted with those of
other goods. For instance, food supplies the necessary energy to human
beings, while capital goods permit the expansion of infrastructure that in
turn permits the production of a larger quantity of goods and services.
In its capacity, money also fulfills the role of the medium of savings, the
role of a unit of account, and a store of value. The fundamental role--the
essence--of money, however, is that of a general medium of exchange. Because
of this, all other functions of money emerge. In short, the fact that a good
becomes the medium of exchange gives rise to these other functions.
Is there a need to accommodate the demand for money?
When we talk about demand for money, what we really mean is the demand for
money's purchasing power. After all, people don't want a greater amount of
money in their pockets so much as they want greater purchasing power in
their possession.
On this Mises wrote,
The services money renders are conditioned by the height of its purchasing
power. Nobody wants to have in his cash holding a definite number of pieces
of money or a definite weight of money; he wants to keep a cash holding of a
definite amount of purchasing power.[3]
In a free market, in similarity to other goods, the price of money is
determined by supply and demand. Consequently, if there is less money, its
exchange value increases. Conversely, the exchange value falls when there is
more money. In short, within the framework of a free market, there can be no
such thing as "too little" or "too much" money. As long as the market is
allowed to clear, no shortage of money can emerge.
Consequently, once the market has chosen a particular commodity as money,
the given stock of this commodity will always be sufficient to secure the
services that money provides. Hence, in a free market, the whole idea of
managing the supply of money in line with changes in the demand for money as
suggested by the proponents of supply-side economics is absurd.
According to Mises:
As the operation of the market tends to determine the final state of
money's purchasing power at a height at which the supply of and the demand
for money coincide, there can never be an excess or deficiency of money.
Each individual and all individuals together always enjoy fully the
advantages which they can derive from indirect exchange and the use of
money, no matter whether the total quantity of money is great, or small. . .
. the services which money renders can be neither improved nor repaired by
changing the supply of money. . . . The quantity of money available in the
whole economy is always sufficient to secure for everybody all that money
does and can do.[4]
But how can we be sure that the supply of a selected commodity as money will
not start to rapidly expand on account of unforeseen events? Would that not
undermine people's well-being? If this were to happen, then people would
probably abandon this commodity and settle on some other commodity.
Individuals, who strive to preserve their life and well-being, will not
choose a commodity that is subject to a steady decline in its purchasing
power as money.
This is the essence of the market-selection process and the reason why it
took several thousands years for gold to be selected as the most marketable
commodity. In short, the prolonged market-selection process raises the
likelihood that gold is the most suitable commodity to fulfill the role of
money.
Furthermore, the accommodation of rising demand through the expansion of
money supply will in fact achieve contrary results, because people do not
want more money but more purchasing power. However, raising the supply of
money will dilute its purchasing power and thereby deny people's wishes. It
is like suggesting that because the demand for the Mona Lisa painting has
gone up, we ought to lift the supply by producing counterfeit paintings.
"Dollar" not an independent entity
Since in a true free-market economy, money is gold, there is no such thing
as an independent entity such as a "dollar." Prior to 1933, the name
"dollar" was used to refer to a unit of gold that had a weight of 23.22
grains. Since there are 480 grains in one ounce, this means that the name
dollar also stood for 0.048 ounce of gold. This in turn, means that one
ounce of gold referred to $20.67. Now, $20.67 is not the price of one ounce
of gold in terms of dollars as popular thinking has it, for there is no such
entity as a dollar. Dollar is just a name for 0.048 ounce of gold. On this
Rothbard wrote,
No one prints dollars on the purely free market because there are, in
fact, no dollars; there are only commodities, such as wheat, cars, and
gold.[5]
Likewise, the names of other currencies stood for a fixed amount of gold.
The habit of regarding these names as a separate entity from gold emerged
with the enforcement of the paper standard. Over time, as paper money
assumed a life of its own, it became acceptable to set the price of gold in
terms of dollars, francs, pounds, etc. The absurdity of all this reached new
heights with the introduction of the floating currency system.
In a free market, currencies do not float against each other. They are
exchanged in accordance with a fixed definition. If the British pound stands
for 0.25 of an ounce of gold and the dollar stands for 0.05 ounce of gold,
then one British pound will be exchanged for five dollars. This exchange
stems from the fact that 0.25 of an ounce is five times larger than 0.05 of
an ounce, and this is what the exchange of 5-to-1 means.
The absurdity of a floating currency system is no different from the idea of
having a fluctuating market price for dollars in terms of cents. How many
cents equal one dollar is not something that is subject to fluctuations. It
is fixed forever by definition[6].
In a free market, therefore, the meaning of the gold standard is that gold
is money. Contrast this with the supply-side framework, which views gold as
separate from the dollar. Curiously, supply-siders call the scheme a "gold
standard," which is, of course, erroneous.
Once it is realized that in a free market the name dollar stands for a fixed
weight of gold, it will obviously be preposterous to contemplate the
gold-price rule as suggested by the supply-siders.
Furthermore, once it is realized that money is a commodity, it is obvious
that, in similarity to other goods and services, its exchange value cannot
stay still but will vary in accordance with the supply and demand of gold
and supply and demand of other goods and services. Any attempt to stabilize
prices amounts to stifling the operation of the market economy and results
in the misallocation of resources and economic impoverishment.
Gold-price rule: Recipe for boom-bust cycles
According to supply-siders, the major factor behind boom-bust cycles is not
the Federal Reserve but the high marginal tax rate. For instance, in his
various writings--including the book The Way the World Works--J. Wanniski
regards a high tax rate as the cause of boom-bust cycles. According to
Wanniski, the monetary policy of the Fed has very little to do with
boom-bust cycles. In fact, in a note he wrote, "But first, the Fed (and the
gold standard) needs to be absolved of guilt for the 1930s. The Great
Depression was caused by rising tariffs and taxes worldwide…"
The problem with all this is a failure to define what boom-bust cycles are
all about. The distinguishing characteristic of a successful producer is his
ability to "read the market correctly" and thereby establish a profitable
production structure. It is in the interest of every businessman to secure a
price where the quantity of goods that is produced can be sold at a profit.
In setting this price, a producer/entrepreneur will have to consider how
much money consumers are likely to spend on the product. He will have to
consider the prices of various competitive products. He will also have to
consider his production costs.
A producer must also pay attention to likely movements in interest rates. By
complying with market prices and interest rates, the producer is said to be
"in tune" with reality. Whenever he misjudges future prices and interest
rates, he is said to be "out of sync" with market conditions, and he suffers
losses.
A major factor that distorts producers’ judgments regarding the true
conditions of the market is the central bank’s easy monetary policy. This
policy leads to an artificial lowering of interest rates and thereby
falsifies an important market signpost that producers pay attention to.
Consequently, this triggers activities that are out of touch with reality;
an economic "boom" is set in motion.
The central bank’s easy monetary policy causes producers to make business
errors. Once the central bank tightens its monetary stance, however, the
facts of reality are revealed, various activities that sprang up on the back
of previous loose monetary policies are abandoned, and an economic bust
emerges. From this we can infer that a recession is: a process whereby
business errors brought about by past easy monetary policies are revealed
and liquidated once the central bank tightens its monetary stance.
This definition of a recession--a business-error liquidation
process--informs us that the driving force behind boom-bust cycles is
central bank monetary policies.
This definition of a recession embraces not only "ordinary" recessions but
also depressions. The only difference between a recession and a depression
is the extent of business errors. In other words, the longer the boom, all
else equal, the more severe the bust is going to be. Furthermore, the
severity of the slump is affected by the state of the real pool of funding.
A growing pool of funding--savings and capital stored up to make future
production possible--will make the business error adjustment process easy to
handle. Conversely, a stagnant or a declining pool will make the adjustment
process more painful.
While a growing government and hence higher taxes will weaken the real pool
of funding, which in turn will prolong the recession, they don’t of
themselves set in motion boom-bust cycles as such. In order to provide an
explanation of a bust, one must present a theory of a boom. But how can
rises in taxes by themselves explain the phenomenon of a boom, which is
accompanied by a general rise in prices? Without the increase in money
supply, no boom and general rise in prices can emerge. Moreover, if,
according to Wanniski, the Great Depression continued for a decade solely
because of high taxes, then why didn’t we have a permanent depression from
World War Two, since tax rates have been much higher since then?[7]
Obviously, then, if the Fed were to follow the supply-siders’ dollar-gold
rule, it would not eliminate boom-bust cycles. Thus, whenever the price of
gold fell below the nominated $350-an-ounce level, the Fed would pump money
thereby setting in motion an economic boom. Once the price of the yellow
metal rose above the $350 an ounce, the Fed would tighten its stance thereby
setting in motion an economic bust.
Observe that the boom and the bust are set in motion regardless of the
demand for money. Thus when the Fed pumps more money in response to the
lower gold price, the rise in the demand for money cannot neutralize the
effect of the expansion in the money stock. In short, the newly injected
money will always cause damage to the real economy by setting an exchange of
nothing for something, or consumption not supported by production.
Those of the supply-side movement like to project themselves in the image of
free-marketers and in opposition to government interference. Yet their
entire approach runs contrary to the spirit of a free market. In fact, they
are very much like the rest of mainstream economics. While mainstream
economists advocate the management of demand, supply-siders advocate the
management of supply. It is even argued that, in order to promote greater
production, there must be a preference for taxing consumption rather than
production. According to Raymond J Keating, "In addition, supply-side
recognition that supply comes before demand in the economic order leads to a
preference for taxing consumption rather than production."[8]
In the free-market economy, neither demand nor supply is managed. Both
consumption and production are equally important in the fulfillment of
people’s ultimate goal, which is the maintenance of life and well-being. In
short, consumption is dependent on production, while production is dependent
on consumption. The loose monetary policy of the central bank breaks this
unity by creating an environment where it appears that it is possible to
consume without production. This unity can be restored by bringing back the
market-selected money: gold.
Conclusion
The belief that the present unstable financial system can be cured by means
of a monetary policy that targets the price of gold is erroneous. This
framework, which is offered by the supply-side-economics movement, is likely
to further destabilize the economy. What supply-siders are advocating is the
replacement of one form of government monetary control with another form of
control--erroneously believing that their form of money manipulation will
achieve economic prosperity. What is needed, then, is not a reversion to the
bankrupt Bretton Woods system, as is suggested by supply-siders, but a
genuine gold standard where gold is money.

At the time of the class I started importing, art glass from Eastern
Europe.
The shipping cost and breakage worries was not conducive to
continuing and my partner went back to Europe. We spent money on

Importing/Exporting business
Hi,
I have heard many students including me wanted to know how many
people here have actually established an import/export business, how
long, and what kind of product are you importing/exporting? If you
can the info directly to me, polobear888@yahoo.com, I will compile
it and send out a summary.
Thanks,
Don Low
