Ask Altucher

Today's question came from a listener who was laid off after 10 years at his last company. He's interested in the wine business and is wondering if he can make a living in the wine e-commerce space. James first says... Congratulations! First, think of three levels "free," "pay," and then wealth. •Free – Every day, blog about wine. James and Claudia give him a bunch of ideas. Move into the video space, use Vine. Try everything, and always be storytelling. •Pay – Create a newsletter and sell a wine of the day with a 24-hour countdown. •Wealth – Host wine tours. Write down your ten ideas a day and watch how quickly you'll also come up with great ideas. James tosses out a huge number of ideas. We'd love to hear about your "Choose Yourself" stories.

I hope you write me with feedback and questions. I have more books c
