      Hey KRL got a question about men.com. Are you going to be pushing any merchandise through there? As in goods, luxury items, tangible goods and what not?

            Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All the women I've dated first started dating me not even knowing how much I was worth or that I was an entrepreneur.

                KRL, when you started out in business, in your 20's, did you have some noticeable capital to start with? some money to invest?
                or did you start completely from scratch?

                Also, what business did you put your first efforts into? was it the adult biz, or something else? and where would you recommend others to invest or try their luck, as you are seeing the business world today?

                    I started really young. I was the kid on the block that had the lemonade stand that actually made money, the paper route that was bigger than any other kids on the block, the one who was first one to the neighbors houses to shovel snow out of their driveways.

                    I used to fill my backpack with candy and gum in school. I'd buy it wholesale and do a hefty markup.

                    Ran the football pools in high school and did really well with that.

                    I always was good at saving money as a kid.

                    My family had money from the clothing mfg. industry, but I wanted to strike out on my own, didn't want to be under anyone's thumb and control, and left from Philly to LA when I turned 20.

                    I had $2,000 in my pocket and that was all.

                    I've always been fortunate and lucky. Had just a few bad years where it seemed every deal I got into went south and I went really low and fucked up my credit and all that kind of stuff and had to rebuild everything all over again.

                    My biggest hits in my 20's and 30's were from the clothing industry and the 900 pay-per-call business. We had the Jordache line for California when that changed the jeans industry. I was in the right place at the right time. Caught the first waves on the 900 biz and created some monster sized programs that did millions of calls. I don't know the exact number but its somewhere in the 40 to 50 Million range of paid calls.

                    I blew a lot living really well, and could have had much more today had I been more prudent in the early days and also not diversified into businesses outside my expertise.

                      KRL, say you were 20 years old now, and had 30000-40000$ in your pocket, what would you do? in what would you invest?

                        What would you say your expertise is?
                        the adult industry in general? Paysites? the internet? trading stocks? domain names?

                          Photography is one of my favorite hobbies. So I have a zillion pics of her. I don't think it'd be smart to post her in here because she'd end up getting photoshopped. A few people in here have seen her pics before.

                          She looks like a cross between Brooke Shields, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paulina Poriskova, and Carol Alt.

                          One of the hardest things was walking around with her by my side and having people everywhere we went turn their heads, stare and gawk. It used to drive me crazy, but came with the territory.

                                As many things as you can where you are active in the biz. My worst deals where I lost money were the ones where I was a passive investor in businesses I wasn't experienced at and not an active partner.

                                After enough of those crappers, I learned my lesson and recognized the best investment is in myself and creating my own deals.

                                I'm setting up a new company right now to develop out RealEstateForSale.com. Rick (Webfather) is going to be a partner with me on it. If you can provide creative, marketing, etc. type services we'll need or just want to pop in a few $ on the startup capital for it, I might be making a few positions available in our LLC.

                                  Yeh its fun. But when you're at the mall and you get up to go to the bathroom and you come back and someone is trying to hit on her nearly everytime you piss, it gets a bit annonying.

                                      I had 16 great years in LA. Was about to have my son and that earthquake hit us hard and I said I never want to go through this ever again and decided the only place that had as close as possible to the LA lifestyle and nice year round weather was Florida.

If you can provide creative, marketing, etc. type services we'll need or just want to pop in a few $ on the startup capital for it, I might be making a few positions available in our LLC.

                                            Great thread thanks.

                                            So you see control as the biggest reason for success in a venture? Lack of it causing failure?

                                            Lack of control being a passive investment. I can relate to not investing outside your core expertise.

                                                Its going to be a nice long term revenue producer no doubt, easy to run, and for real estate worlwide.

                                                    slapass,
                                                    I think the advice is, don't get into a business that you have no idea how it works. Know the ins & outs of your business. Know, from start to finish, how to produce your product/sale, your costs and find the loopholes in between. You can be a great marketer and sales can be greater than ever, but if you can't distinguish how your partner is screwing you, it's all in vain.


                                                    Edit: At least I think that's what he's saying

                                                          K thanks. That pretty much matches what I have seen and done. Go outside what you know and you hit that learning curve all over again. Chance of failure is thus raised.

                                                          It is hard to not want to grow and try new stuff. So there has to be a balance to it.

                                                            LOL - my peak so far has been 28M

                                                            My stocks got whacked in the dot com fallout which sucked royally.

                                                            It's kind of hard to figure now because everyone has different opinons on the values of Internet businesses.

                                                            My 2 goals are still 100M and then a quick ride up to B land through some acquisition maneuvering I'm laying plans for with the stuff I'm working on now.

                                                            I've gone through the Donald Trump stage a couple times over the past 20 years where everything on paper went into the neg, cause of some real estate deals and other high risk deals I got sucked into, but have always bounced right back like he did by focusing again on things I know best.

                                                            I lived more extravagently when I was single. Having children changes your perspective on the way you spend money since you're now responsible for the well being of your kids. So I don't spend money foolishly on myself anymore.

                                                            My kid is set for life now though which is all that matters to me.

                                                            I'm not into money for the money anymore though obviously you have to keep that a part of things. I just like creating and building new things.

                                                            When you do things you love the money takes care of itself.

One of my concerns in my own family is spoiling my children, I always want them to grow up level headed with a respect for money and their less fortunate peers, but it never really occurred to me to also watch out spoiling the wife.

                                                                              I agree, KRL. With all due respect, the 28M is fascinating and inspiring, but what inspires me more is that you mention that at one point in your life, you were left with $1.00 in your pocket. You also mention that your second separation/divorce brought on a depression, yet you managed to get through that too.

                                                                              What I'd like to know (and I believe so many others surf here looking for this) are the obstacles you (or anyone else willing to share) went through to get there, financial, human, emotional or bad decision-making processes.

                                                                              If you, or anyone else here for that matter, ever decide to elaborate on those - could give tips on things to avoid, things that in retrospect brought on more 'bad luck' - please, make sure to point me to that thread.

One of my concerns in my own family is spoiling my children, I always want them to grow up level headed with a respect for money and their less fortunate peers, but it never really occurred to me to also watch out spoiling the wife.
                                                                                Both my ex and I are pretty bad about spoiling our son. I don't splurge on myself much, but with him I do. I don't know if its good or bad. My ex is worse, she buys him designer everything.

                                                                                Probably since he's our only child when you have just one you tend to do that more.

                                                                                I really spoiled my ex-wife and I think it wasn't a good thing because she completely lost her sense of values from me doing that. Anything she wanted I would buy her. She was so down to earth when I met her and became less and less so as our years together grew and she acummulated more and more possessions. She started becoming dependent on buying things to provide her happiness fix. That's not a good thing. I know a lot of guys do that and you end up one day where your wife has everything and she starts saying I'm not happy more and more.

With all due respect, the 28M is fascinating and inspiring, but what inspires me more is that you mention that at one point in your life, you were left with $1.00 in your pocket. You also mention that your second separation/divorce brought on a depression, yet you managed to get through that too.

                                                                                  What I'd like to know (and I believe so many others surf here looking for this) are the obstacles you (or anyone else willing to share) went through to get there, financial, human, emotional or bad decision-making processes.

                                                                                  If you, or anyone else here for that matter, ever decide to elaborate on those - could give tips on things to avoid, things that in retrospect brought on more 'bad luck' - please, make sure to point me to that thread.

                                                                                  Well it comes with being an entrepreneur. Doing high risk deals is risky business. Some go as planned some don't. You have to be prepared for either event financially and emotionally. Its easy to quit its harder to keep rowing.

                                                                                  Sometimes you have to push your working capital base to its limit when you're just about there on a project and it needs that final push. Sometimes it still doesn't fly and you're left standing there saying oh shit now what.

                                                                                  The key is to keep your head together when everyone else around you starts to lose theirs. You have to stay calm and collected and figure out solutions to get through the years where things just don't work out as expected. You have to be creative and resourceful. You must know there is always a way out of every situation no matter how bad. You just have to look for it and sometimes create it. But there is always a way.

                                                                                  The biggest advice I would give when you're young is to not let your ego think you're invincible and that everything you do from now on is going to be a guaranteed success just cause you've have a few great succeeses.

                                                                                  Everyone fails from time to time. You can't let yourself think you're going to keep rolling 7's forever on the crap table. Business just doesn't work that way.

Could always use a boost or reminder that not everyone has a silverspoon and not everyone climbs a non-stop ladder to 'success'. It's comforting to know that even the best or most successful go up a ladder and at times have had to come down, willingly or with clenched teeth. Thanks for your openness on something most people hold on to with dear life.

                                                                                          i have since found there are many other things worth doing in life, besides building business (s).

We had the Jordache line for California when that changed the jeans industry. I was in the right place at the right time.
                                                                                              hey I was sporting Jordache jeans back then, now those jeans are worth $$$ if you can find a nice pair in vintage clothing shops. Good stuff

                                                                                                I was at a charity function at Mara Lago and talking with Donald Trump and he couldn't take his eyes off my wife and Marla was standing right there not even noticing, and he whispered in my ear how lucky I was to have such a gorgeous beauty and I said back thanks but as you know these types come with a hell of a price tag and he laughed back saying yeh you're telling me.

Trust me on this - unless you like being a slave of greed. If you can't enjoy it and it doesn't allow you to fulfill your life and years, then it's not worth it. That's the way I see it. I understand sacrificing at the beginning - but after awhile, when does it become enough? I'm not saying stop and let the bank account go down, but relax - it doesn't have to double yearly

                                                                                                    BTW, when are you coming back to Montreal?
