Pure Green’s Tremendous Growth

The Pure Green Franchise is rapidly expanding across the U.S. and is already a nationally recognized brand in over 30 states. It is one of the fastest-growing cold press juice and smoothie companies in the United States.

They are set to reach 100 franchises by the end of 2023 and hope to reach 1,000 franchises within the following years.

Pure Green franchises primarily sell their famous cold-pressed juice and smoothies, but they also sell their nutrient-rich acai and pitaya bowls, a variety of toasts, and steel-cut oatmeal bowls.

The franchise was started by Ross Franklin back in 2014 in the heart of New York City. Before starting Pure Green, Franklin was involved in multiple wellness businesses through his consulting firm and is considered one of the top five wellness entrepreneurs in the United States by Thrive Global.

Franklin is also a best-selling author and desirable keynote speaker at wellness events. He started pure green with the mission to “build healthier communities around the globe by connecting people with superfoods.”

He hopes to educate the communities that each store is located in on the benefits of superfoods and their importance. However, Pure Green is not just meant to provide healthy products but to also be a beacon of sustainability.

Pure Green franchises use locally sourced products for maximum freshness, less fuel costs, and to support their local community. Each store features renewable energy sources such as wind turbine energy production, solar hot water heating, a green roof, and more.

They also use sustainable construction materials and recyclable or compostable products. They have impressively saved over one million pounds of produce that may have ended up in a landfill by using “imperfect produce.”

Throughout their time in business, Pure Green has had many accomplishments. They are an “Entrepreneur Franchise 500-ranked company” and are ranked #108 on Entrepreneur’s 2022 “Top New & Emerging Franchise.”  They also managed to raise over 1 million dollars from over 5,000 investors.

Their success can be attributed to many facets of their business model, but one such major facet is their optimization in scaling the franchise. They have developed a system that makes it convenient to own a Pure Green franchise.

For example, they have a “Pure Green University” for new franchisees that teaches them everything they need to know to run a Pure Green franchise. They also help their franchisees choose the perfect location for a store and even help them throughout the entire construction process.

There are also low costs associated with owning a Pure Green franchise which is in part due to their wholesale division. The wholesale division eliminates the need for franchisees to buy expensive manufacturing equipment by supplying them with cold-pressed juices and cold-pressed shots.

As a result, the franchisee does not have to deal with the hassle of getting and operating the manufacturing equipment.

Overall, it is no wonder that the Pure Green Franchise has seen such tremendous growth. Their ability to not only actualize their mission and goals but to also make it easy for others to do the same has led to their success.

SELL or HODL – The Everlasting Question For Crypto Owners

SELL or HODL – The Everlasting Question For Crypto Owners

There is an ancient proverb from around 10 years ago that speaks monumental levels of truth – “To Sell or to HODL” – Some Reddit User

While we jest in the concept, it is actually something that has been asked on more than one occasion in forums and by serious pundits in the space. It all harkens back to the foundational aspects of investment practices, and all centers around one question: What are you trying to gain, long term or short-term profit.

After-which it becomes more about the risks you’re prepared to take with your money, and having enough put aside (if you’re choosing the higher risk routes).

Imagine you’ve invested in a coin that is exploded in value, gone up 2-300% in a matter of weeks or months – you begin thinking about the possibilities of selling it for a quick buck, but there’s that little voice that says “hold it, see where it goes” – they’re both tempting, and it can be hard to weigh up the pros and cons in a moment of heated consideration.

So, to sell or to hold – let’s explore the options.

Sell

Sell or hodl

Selling is always a smart option if you’re not exactly rolling around in cash, having a slight profit is better than holding it and it potentially falling back to earth in value (which can happen). If the coin itself is part of a meme or trend, maybe it’s not exactly built to last. One only has to remember the DOGE coin debacle to know that sometimes Icarus can indeed fly too close to the sun. 

Hold

Holders are a special kind, the logic behind holding is usually surface-level investment. If that is your investment strategy, and you’ve got enough money to live, then maybe you should let it ride. It all comes down to the amount of risk you’re willing to play with, after all, it has upside potential and could lead upward even more if you held onto it. Look at Bitcoin, the ultimate Holders dream, going from pennies to thousands of dollars over a very (very) long period of time.

Remember to always research your investments thoroughly for viability and above all, trust your instinct.

Sibling Company Rivalries: The Tale Of Bill Gates & Steve Jobs

When we think entrepreneurs, you would be hard pressed to not consider the two (arguably) largest influences in the tech industry in recent memory, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. There were times of bitter rivalry, times of unbridled symbiotic success, and times where both were present. The long and short of it remains true that Apple and Microsoft would not be what they are today if it were not for the other.

While they needed each other at certain points, it would be foolhardy to not consider some of the ways in which they complement each other, in terms of business, innovation, design, and overall impact on the world. These entrepreneurs had similar origins after all, beginning their empires in garages and in anonymity – their pathways, however, could not be more different.

Let’s unpack the strengths of both of them and distill the aspect of their business that shimmers against the other.

Steve Jobs – Design & Marketing

Steve Jobs

Say what you will about the practices of Apple and NeXT, Steve Jobs knew how to build hype and sell products. This differential with Bill Gates allowed Apple to flourish throughout most of the late 90s and 00’s. The knack for design that he had was recognizable in iPhone, iMac, the Macintosh, and subsequent revolutionary product lines that we know and love today.

 “He really never knew much about technology, but he had an amazing instinct for what works.” – Bill Gates

Bill Gates – Business & Building

On the other side of the scale, we have the business mogul and entrepreneur Bill Gates. His stringent focus on building his business with Microsoft and the Windows releases was staggeringly effective. When developing the fundamental Basic program, he was inundated with offers of buyouts, but felt the need to remain in the driver’s seat.

While this assisted in building a more affluent empire, Steve Jobs had his own opinion on the way he conducted business.

“Bill Gates would be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.” – Steve Jobs

Todd Snively reflects on how Expert University trains entrepreneurs

Todd Snively reflects on how Expert University trains entrepreneurs

Following a rather unceremonious exit from his former profession, the head of a large commodity trading firm, Todd Snively was in a massive financial hole in the early to mid 2000s. That hole equated to a debt of around $2.2 million, and naturally, required a lot of initiative and skill to dig out of that hole and begin making money. Todd was determined to work his way out of the situation.  Because of his entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge of ecommerce sector, Todd made the switch to Amazon selling as a way of making money.  Since 2009, Todd has been generating millions on Amazon and is now one of the most popular, well-recognized sellers on the platform, largely because of his educational company, Expert University, that he co-founded with another Amazon millionaire, Chris Keef.

Thankfully for us, Todd answered a few questions we had about his career, sharing his wisdom of the industry.

Hi Todd, was Amazon selling something you imagined you’d be doing at the beginning of your career, or was it a decision out of necessity?

Early on, when I started my first business back in  1983 my attitude was that I would do my best and just see what would happen.  I didn’t have any aspirations other than to try and make some money, so I simply took advantage of the first opportunity that presented itself.  I kept following what I perceived to be better and better opportunities as they presented themselves.  I felt if I was always putting myself in a better position, then I’d always be moving forward.  I did so with no idea of where it would ultimately lead me.  Selling on Amazon resulted from no other reason than taking advantage of what appeared to be a better and better opportunities at the time.  Here we are eleven years later now as an Amazon seller and it is what continues to be the best opportunity.

When did you start Expert University and what are the goals of the organization?

Chris Keef and myself started Expert University almost six years go.  Our goal at that time was to provide access to training and tools to help people sell on Amazon the right way.  Our continuing goal is to add additional courses on other online profit centers.  Selling physical products on Amazon is an amazing opportunity, but the true online entrepreneurs know that diversification of profit centers is necessary.  Therefore, once someone is secure with their Amazon business, it’ll be time to launch other online profit opportunities and we hope to be mentoring our students for years to come in other legitimate online profit centers.  These additional profit centers will be complimentary to the Amazon business, and will allow members to leverage previously developed skills.

In your opinion, how do you develop and foster entrepreneurial skills? Do you need organic talent, or can it all be taught?

It all starts with learning about mindset and getting your brain prepared to think a way it maybe never has before.  Once your mindset is correct, the other skills are fairly straight forward.  The great thing about being an entrepreneur is that if you’re not an expert in any one aspect, there’s someone out there that is.  Early on, when funds are tight, you might need to be willing to perform some tasks that you’re not overly excited about, but as your income grows, you’ll learn that you’ll be using your wallet more and more to get things done.  I believe it can all be taught and I’ve learned to never pre-judge anyone.  It’s usually not lack of a specific skill that prevents someone from becoming successful as an entrepreneur, it’s their mindset and attitude.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do in your free time, in terms of hobbies?

Well, I am lucky enough to have two homes, one in the hills of Las Vegas overlooking the Strip, and one on a beach in Puerto Rico.  Exploring the natural beauty of both places is one of my favorite things to do.  Not sure it’s a hobby, but my wife and I love walking on the beach.  We watch the pelicans dive into the water looking for a bite to eat and we’re constantly looking for all the different species of fish as the surf rolls in.  I am a life long pilot, and flying used to be my main hobby,  I was an avid golfer and would grab a few friends and we’d pick a golf course to fly to and play that day.  While I still enjoy golf, I decided to hang up the private flying some years back.  Now, I have been working on learning how to play guitar for almost 18 years now.  There’s a lot of satisfaction from learning something new and experiencing the fruits of your efforts.  My wife and I love trying new foods as we travel around, probably one of my favorite hobbies, and we both love seeing new places and revisiting old ones.

For you, how important is having a work life balance? Is it achievable in your industry, or do you suffer from long working hours?

There’s this old joke that says because I am self-employed I only have to work half days, and the best part is I get to choose which 12 hours that is!  A true entrepreneur will admit that they would work 24 hours a day if it was possible.  Thank goodness it’s not.  Now, I am at the stage in my life, 58 years old, where I’ve really accomplished what I’ve wanted to.  I’ve “won the game” if you will.  Therefore, now it’s all about life balance.  I make sure that everyone I work with understands that I am not plugged in 24/7 so while some 20 year old might answer your email from the bathroom, that’s not me.  Is that sort of time freedom achievable for anyone?  Oh yes, one hundred percent, and guess who it’s usually up to?  Yup, you!  Now, fortunately, generating profits online, especially with Amazon lends itself quite nicely to the goal of a proper life/work balance.

What are some of your future goals with Amazon selling and how do you hope to achieve them?

Well, my middle Daughter runs my core Amazon business.  I’ve been mentoring her on the financial side of the business and I would expect in the next couple of years she’ll be ready to “pay me off” and take over fully.  Maybe she will even keep me on as a consultant.  While that may be more of a personal goal, it’l come to fruition by continuing to do the things we’re already doing.  As Amazon continues to mature, it provides more stability for the third party seller.  We will continue to nurture our brand supplier relationships and allow our members to leverage those relationships for their own businesses.

Todd, thank you for your time!

Will Digital Banking Finally Take Over? Andrew Anastasiou Gives us an Overview

Will Digital Banking Finally Take Over? Andrew Anastasiou Gives us an Overview

With the influx of new technology coming on to the market in recent years, somewhere that has been a huge focus has been Fintech. Whether it is mobile-only banking platforms or Banking as a Service (BaaS), nobody can deny the huge growth the sector has seen and the massive potential it has for everyday consumers.

For us to get a better understanding we spoke with Andrew Anastasiou, a Banking Professional and Fintech Entrepreneur. Andrew has a firm grip on the Digital Banking arena and has multiple businesses offering services in this sector. One of his companies, WireWallet, an online banking platform that allows its users to obtain dedicated IBAN’s identical to those you would obtain when opening a traditional bank account, has seen immense growth in recent times.

Andrew explained to us that he feels the reason companies like WireWallet, and Fintech in general, have grown so fast is due to the fact that everyday consumers have realized that almost everything can be done from the comfort of their own homes and safely online. He told us that even consumers who would generally feel that traditional Banks are a more safe and reliable provider for sending and receiving payments are understanding more and more about the digital transformation and are embracing it. As well as this, Andrew told us that the Covid-19 pandemic brought it home to people that bringing at least some level of digitization to their lives is not only simple but extremely beneficial in terms of making daily life easier. Although, Andrew clearly stated that traditional Banks are still the “Gods” of the financial world and it will be at least another 10 years until Digital or “Neo” Banks are embraced as normal and are able to offer the same types of services that traditional Banks offer.

Amongst Andrew’s other companies, we wanted to find out a little bit more about LyncPay. Andrew explained to us that essentially, LyncPay is his way to bring digital banking services to countries where a vast amount of consumers do not have bank accounts to make online payments. Andrew said that the main goal is to allow consumers labelled as “unbankable” the opportunity to pay for government utilities and digital services and products online. Currently, there are over 1 billion people in the world who do not have bank accounts and live their daily lives. This project was set to launch in 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is expected to launch in Q3 2021 and we are positive it will be met with positivity.

In summary, it seems that although Digital Banks are experiencing huge growth, it is unlikely that they will “take over” from traditional banks and even if they did, it is difficult to say if they could even offer the same services that heavily regulated Banking Institutions can currently offer.

Mike Pompeo confuses media with COVID-19 statements

Mike Pompeo confuses media with COVID-19 statements

According to Coronastreet and Safe Nation, there is lots of confusions about Covid-19. Coronastreet and Safe Nation is the global website with updates about coronavirus spread and social world challenges.

We noticed that Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, has said that there’s “a significant amount of evidence” that pointed towards COVID-19 being originated from a laboratory in China. At the same time, he has said he agrees with US intelligence officials who say the virus was not engineered deliberately by man.

It could appear that Pompeo and the Trump Administration are trying to have their cake and eat it too by avoiding directly laying blame on a sovereign nation for the spread of the virus but heavily implying a ‘China connection’ that suggests some sinister intent behind the pandemic.

Instead of saying that the virus was engineered in a lab, it is simply being said that it “came from” a Chinese laboratory, meaning that it could have accidentally escaped during study of the virus in animal specimens.

There is a large element of Trump’s support base that subscribes to anti-China rhetoric and believes the virus was created as a biological weapon by the People’s Republic. Both the Chinese Government and scientific organisations from Wuhan strongly deny any suggests the virus was deliberately engineered and released.

Pompeo was challenged by a journalist who contradicted his statements, and he then walked back his claims with with “I’ve seen what the intelligence community has said. I have no reason to believe that they’ve got it wrong.”

A report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence agreed with what it called the “wide scientific consensus” that the virus was not created by man. The majority of senior intelligence analysts have said that they do not believe that COVID-19 was created as part of a biological attack by China.

Many Americans beg to differ, citing the apparent speedy economic recovery of China as a convenient reason for the virus to have been deliberately concocted by communist China. Most scientists agree that the virus was spread due to contact between humans and animals, particularly bats where the coronavirus was well studied prior to the current pandemic.

Despite claiming he believes the virus came from a Chinese laboratory, President Trump has failed to expand on any evidence he has, and instead says he has a “high degree of confidence”. When asked to give specifics, Trump said “…I’m not allowed to tell you that,”

Say hello to preowned luxury jewelry and watches experts – Gray and Sons Jewelers

Jewelry and watches are some of the most valuable personal items we can own, both in terms of material cost and sentimentality. These items are small (easily transported), can hold sentimental value as gifts or heirlooms, have a utility, and can be subjectively valued based on factors like the materials used and prestige of the brand-name.

If you’ve been on the lookout for a really special gift, or just a reward for yourself, then a piece of luxury jewelry or a luxury watch might be on your radar.  Contrary to popular belief, luxury doesn’t need to mean recklessly spending large amounts – you can be money smart and buy a preowned piece that that gives you everything you would want from a brand-new piece.

Since people are starting to save a little more money rather than spend big, the market for preowned luxury items has expanded in recent years. With a drive to deliver affordable excellence, Gray & Sons Jewelers founder Keith A. Gray decided to start his business selling fully restored luxury jewelry and watches.

Keith has a high attention to detail and has employed a team of Swiss watchmakers that have helped his business thrive for the last 40 years. His business stocks everything from Rolex watches to Van Cleef, Tiffany & Co. + much more, so there’s a gift item available for anyone, for any occasion.

So, how do they pull it off?

Restoration

All of the items that are collected in the Gray & Sons inventory are put through a highly involved, 86-step process that is inspected by Swiss jewelers and watchmakers who have over 150 years combined expertise. All of the items go through a careful process of polishing and cleaning to bring them up to snuff so that they are practically indistinguishable from freshly manufactured version of the same piece. All of the pieces are closely inspected by authentication experts who can confirm it is not a replica or counterfeit.

Pricing

As they are an independent reseller of luxury items that they meticulously restore, Gray & Sons is free to set their own pricing and is therefore not beholden to the manufacturer’s pricing model. This means that they are able to be flexible with prices and give customers the best deal on restored jewelry and watches.

Quality Guarantee

As you might have guessed, Gray & Sons is a business that takes a lot of pride in its work and understands that reputation is everything. Having served the local community in Florida, USA for 40 years (est. 1980), the business has expanded to serve customers around the world with an exclusive 12-24 month warranty on watches and a 10-day ‘No Questions Asked’ return policy which gives people the chance to buy an item, model it, then return if it doesn’t suit.

They also have a ‘Like New For Life’ policy which means that any item you spend more than $2000 on entitles you to lifetime free maintenance and refurbishment, including pressure testing and battery replacement.

Gray & Sons are one of the longest running and well-respected jewelry and watch restoration businesses in the United States and across the globe. Take a look at their testimonials on their website to see what fantastic things past customers have had to say about Gray & Sons.
