    I feel so alone...

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Amazon publishing is a bit of a gold rush right now. I've watched a number of people diving in thinking they're going to make big bucks, but the people really making the money are the ones selling courses on how to do it. That's not to say writing is a bad idea, it's definitely potentially...

    World Travel - Is it one of your BIG goals/dreams?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I actually really love flying. I've been on something like 20-25 flights this year and I still get excited. I enjoy the smell of jet fuel at the airport, the ritual inside. Feeling the power of the plane and watching the world go by. Long-distances can get pretty draining, but it's still a...

    The "Inside Out" Technique - Getting Started!

    NOTABLE! 
    Hey guys, thought I'd give you all a quick update on how this idea has been working out for us in The Foundation :P. So far there are at least 10 people with completed software and multiple customers. About 5 of those people have at least 15 customers. One of the guys is charging around $200 a...

    Reddit thread crawling with slowlane advice

    SLOWLANE 
    Because I'm subscribed to a number of subreddits on Reddit that are of value to me. Reddit is what you make it, there are subreddits for every topic under the sun. You can spend your whole time looking at pictures of cats or spend it reading up on things that you're interested in and learning...

    How much is your start up website costing you?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If you're in a market where you have so few customers that if the couple from the first month don't come back you're screwed, you're probably in the wrong market.

    52 week money challenge : Frugal Seriously, the amount of times you can spot the words "Roth IRA" in that thread is unbelievable.

    ADVICE: starting a niche blog. Affiliate marketing,etc

    MARKETING 
    Consider also that you're going to be a fastlane hitchhiker by going down the affiliate path. Yeah, you can be quite successful through affiliate marketing, but in the end you're still at the mercy of your affiliate sites and probably Google. It's probably a decent niche, but I'd consider your...

    [Progress] Growing an Internet Business

    EXECUTION 
    I dunno, screen feels exactly the same as the old one, looks like a perfect repair job (my day job is as a warranty tech) and I have a 3 month warranty on it. I drop my phone a hell of a lot since I'm in and out of the car all day and it's stayed perfect since the repair. But yeah, if that is...

    [Progress] Growing an Internet Business

    EXECUTION 
    So you're at $100 or so an hour if you've got enough iPhones to be constantly fixing them. Not bad, but what is your plan to scale it? What separates you from the hundreds of asian dudes with little booths I can find at markets who'll do iPhone repairs for $50 and do a kickass job? I had my...

    Those are good too :P. I should mention, this brothel is somewhat Batman themed.

    HOT! 
    Melbourne is one of the coffee capitals of the world and that cafe uses beans from the best roaster in the city. The coffee is amazing xD. Funny thing, good cafes/roasters in the inner city are real fastlane opportunities here. The ones I like are almost constantly packed and have 4-5 baristas...

    EXECUTION 
    Change the banner speed AND the text on that banner. That blue text looks like Office WordArt. Also, how much leverage do you have with this? How long does it take you to do a repair and how much do you make off that?

    Speeding :(

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I got on ticket when I'd had my license for about a year, 21km over the limit. Big fine and demerit points. It's now 3 years since I got that ticket and I haven't gotten another one. Just learn to appreciate getting to the speed limit quickly and don't go over it xD. I can still find plenty of...

    Hey, in all seriousness there's a brothel next to one of the cafes I really like in South Melbourne. There's usually an Aston Martin in the carpark, so the business can't be too bad xD.
