Replying to @BarkNyrk
I can do whatever I want. Ppl said I couldn't grow a beard or pull baddies or write off my trips to the strip club but that didn't stop me, did it?

8 fig AMZ Seller. Ecom's Stepfather (YHMBYWR). Anti-Guru. Manic Expressive. My best secret to make a million bucks is to watch my video below...
- 14 years and never laid off a single person. Laid off 7 in the last 24 hours. Some thoughts: 1. This is going to happen with millions of employees because of the tariffs. 2. At least 1 douche is going to be like "sHoUlD hAvE pLaNnEd BeTtEr" - This is kind of fair to...
- Car wouldn't start this morning, get to work late and our internet is down. Lol. I love this shit. Unlike @KDTrey5 I actually enjoy taking the hardest road...it's basically just problem solving practice.
- Lately people have been trying to raise my rates and I have just been saying "No" and it's working. You guys should try this. Lawn guy called and said they were going to raise my monthly cost 30 bucks and I just said "No, I am not going to pay that" and they just kept...
- Had to fire 2 ppl today. These were employees with 2+ years of tenure. They were remote and clocking in and using software to mimic work but not actually working - prob hundreds of hours of this. I liked these people and they were well liked within the company - Even though...
- Replying to @HorsieAttackYou're kinda completely wrong. They went up 145% and the companies that can withstand that are the ones that have been ripping customers off with huge margins bc they dump all their money in marketing instead of r&d so they can sell at insane prices.
- Slack is the "open office concept" of software. People are gonna look back and be like "why did we think it was a good idea to have a chat app with 50+ channels notifying us every 10 minutes?"
- Replying to @michaelpatron0say. Sure, I could have diversified supply chain or product line or raised my prices more or hired in a different way - everyone is just doing the best they can and many didn't expect such dumbass decisions to come to fruition. 3. DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR ME, I still have...
- Replying to @michaelpatron0my price the same. lol. Software company tried to raise my price 500 bucks and I said the same thing. I don't think I ever realized this could work so good.
- Replying to @michaelpatron0quotes outside of China although that is it's own headache. 5. If you do Ecom and need employees, LMK and I can share details if I like you, lol. I do plant o place every single person with a new job.
- Replying to @michaelpatron0a job. 4. Plan going forward is to cut SKU count (already went from 150 to 100, plant to drop 25 more) and remain lean. We will raise prices, slow sales and our main plan revolves around tariffs dropping back down to +20% within 3 months. In the meantime, I also have...
- Replying to @michaelpatron0they were straight up taking my money and making everyone's job harder, I liked both of these people quite a bit. The whole situation just threw me off. I do not give 2nd chances on something like this - feels pretty similar to being cheated on TBH.
- Someone messaged me this...8M to ZERO...taking this man's whole business away. POOF. Amazon is for sure the final boss of Ecom.
- Replying to @KDTrey5Don't really enjoy having a shitty car, lol - I enjoy problem solving. When a car breaks, you can fix it - you don't need to trash the car and then go get another one...and then trash that car and go get another one. If you keep trashing cars, maybe you're the prob, ya know? ;)
