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?

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 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?

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.

6.8 on the Richter Scale 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.

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. |

Great read, inspiring to say the least and I didn't have to go through a ton of gibberish to find an interesting thread. This, my friends is priceless! Thanks KRL & rest of community with the good questions.

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. |

You seem to be a really nice guy and very open even though you are pretty wealthy in my oppinion. There are not many people left that can be so sincere about things. ![]() I have some projects of my own and would love to talk with you sometime about the upcoming business and just some general chat.

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.

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.

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.

Great advice, thanks! 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. ![]()

the funny thing in contrast to krl, is that i've never had a seriousl girlfriend that came after the money. my last gf came just when i was up and coming... after much reflection, the main reason we broke up was my complete dedication to my business.
i have since found there are many other things worth doing in life, besides building business (s).
