2012 marked the birth of Watercooled IND, a company who decided to take a stab at the wheel industry with an innovative new wheel design and for once it is not targeted to super exotics but rather the tuner crowd looking for that nice 3 piece look. Last month we introduced the brand a bit and talked about what Chris and his team were aiming to do. Since that last article, we received quite a bit of feedback from our readers about who Chris was and how he got started, this month we go a bit deeper into the world of Watercooled IND.

In our recent articles on MLMs and the false opportunity they create, we were told by many of those MLM believers that we were wrong and had no right to call their jobs a scam. Believe it or not, despite all the wrong MLM’s do to people with their false promises, we decided to entertain a few negative people’s remarks and answer back those saying we were wrong about MLM’s like the Visalus scam, 5linx scam, Primerica scam and more… Continue Reading

Three years have passed since the great recession and it seems as though things are simply not improving. With very slight decreases in unemployment and housing prices not really improving, we might starting wondering if perhaps there is more than just a recovery ahead. The stock market goes up and down over 5% in a single month, businesses are hiring and then suddenly are not, and while this disaster may seem like a recovering but fragile economy, we believe it is actually the beginning of a new economic climate.

When the Apple iPhone was released, developers rushed to create applications for the device in what could be considered a gold rush of the mobile era. Entrepreneurs like Klutch22 were able to see the opportunity that existed and that has now resulted in over 500,000+ apps available in the iTunes marketplace.  The difference that app development has against lots of other business ventures is the mass reach available through the millions of iPhone, iPod, and now iPad users. Let’s not forget about the Android market which has now surpassed the iPhone in market share. There are several ways to make money from apps whether it be from paid apps to free apps with ads but the reality remains that money can be made with the simplest ideas which we will show you with these 12 apps that gross well over $100,000.

For those of you that are business managers or supervisors, the time has come to rethink if you are indeed an effective leader. For those of you that picked up the 16 Rules of Leadership, you probably already know where this is heading, but for the rest of you, the time has come to face the challenge of letting go of the mediocre mindset or choosing to forever Stay Poor and understand what being in charge really means.

As managers, supervisors and people of power, you hold the ultimate ability over someone elses employment and career. Ultimately you hold control over where that person can or can’t go in the future and hold even more power over that person’s mindset so ask yourself how much you are really helping those right in front of you.

In many of my previous articles about investing I discuss the power of being fearless in your approach and thinking. I also discuss the how investing when others are afraid can be quite rewarding. If you haven’t read those articles, please refer back to Fear Is Your Friend. In the past year, we witnessed oil giant BP taking a large dip in the worth of its stock due to its malpractice and the spill it caused (which has yet to be contained). I always say that in every problem lies an opportunity and also keep telling you that media plays a much larger role in these issues than meets the eye.

When does one realize if their business is indeed successful? When does one realize if they are indeed a successful entrepreneur and have grasped the true meaning of entrepreneurship?

Over the past year we have brought you many articles on ADV1 / Jordan Swerdloff and have received quite a bit of feedback from just about everyone that has witnessed how quickly ADV1 grew. We showed you how Jordan’s failure led to his success and how the concave wheel was born as a result but how well is ADV1 really doing and is it sustainable? We take a deep look at the wheel industry and where ADV1 fits into its future but also get a feel for what it really takes to win in such a competitive environment…
