| 0:00.0 | Well, here's a fun question. Can you tell people where to find fake luxury goods? |
| 0:10.6 | That is, in fact, the question that we've got today from our listener. They don't say it exactly like that. |
| 0:15.4 | But basically, they're wondering about knockoff goods. And you probably know what these are. |
| 0:19.5 | If you are in any city, if you're |
| 0:21.2 | visiting, well, as I said, pretty much any big city, you go downtown. There's people selling all of |
| 0:25.4 | these knockoff goods. Obviously, you can buy them online as well, Louis Vuitton, you know, |
| 0:30.4 | Prada, every single luxury brand. It's like you can get fake purses or handbags or watches or, |
| 0:35.4 | you know, all sorts of items. Most people aren't really bothered by them, but of course they're not legal, just to be clear. And so this brings us to the business idea because this person is not thinking of selling them herself. Her idea is to help other people find them. Okay. And it would be pretty simple if she was like, hey, I want to sell fake luxury goods. Is that legal? Because we would be |
| 0:54.3 | like, it's actually not. You know, it's probably not the smartest business model. So what do we |
| 0:58.9 | think of the business idea of not selling the items, just the information? All right, I'll give it my |
| 1:03.8 | best shot. Stay tuned for the full question and my answer. When you run a business, every minute |
| 1:10.6 | counts. You don't have a lot of spare time, and you probably know that |
| 1:14.2 | accounts payable can take up way more time than it should. A simple task can become all too complicated, |
| 1:19.9 | but it doesn't need to be. That's why I recommend Intuit QuickBooks Bill Pay. QuickBooks Bill Pay |
| 1:25.5 | automates your accounts payable and QuickBooks, allows you to do more of |
| 1:28.7 | what you want to do. So you're not sorting through invoices during your spare time or when you'd rather be |
| 1:32.8 | doing something else. No more manual bill entry. You instantly see what's due, who needs to approve it, |
| 1:38.3 | how it all works, spend less time on admin and more time keeping your business growing with QuickBooks Bill Pay. |
| 1:45.2 | Learn more at quickbooks.com slash bill pay. Again, that's quickbooks.com slash bill pay. |
