    I am no stranger to debt, but overcame that hurdle a few years ago. I went for several settlements, took a hit at my credit score, but now it's stellar again. From that point on, the word EMI does not exist in my life. Paying off your debt as quickly as possible IS your Fastlane for the...

    All right! Did not realize it has been 4 years since I last updated this post. Based on the tips I got from this forum, I was able to successfully negotiate a deal with my employer. For about 2 years, I worked only part time, but was getting paid a full-time salary. It was all temporary...

    Ok, you know what you are saying is an ideal situation, but the reality seems a little different, 24 hours a day, includes 8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest and 8 hours for recreation. In reality, work = job is not 8 hours it ends up being 12 hours, including travelling etc. I've tried...

    I see where you are coming from, but trading 5 days for 2 days of freedom is not for me, and it is common sense, any one can see it, it's not a good deal. Only good for a while, until you can't get a better deal for yourself. Thanks for caring to share your thoughts though.

    #1. Fail fast. #2. Try to not base your model at the mercy of a third party as far as possible. #3. They say if people don't trust you, they won't buy from you. No matter how sweet the deal is. I find this to be true. Oh and one more thing, Keep moving forward. No matter what. Thanks!

    Ok so it's about 3 months since I last posted an update. I did 1 small service launch in this period and see how the market responds to it, and guess what it tanked! mainly because the monetisation strategy wasn't going to be effective. I failed and I failed fast so am glad. While I am not...

    On a deeper thought, you have opened my mind to a new possibility, a possibility where I may not necessarily need to terminate my relationship completely with my employer but rather convert it to one that will be mutually beneficial to both of us. Since I have acquired enough value and...

    The suggestion to drop to a 4 day week is quite unique and considerable. I will keep this in mind. At this point I am still developing the business model - I am following a blueprint, that's a thought worth considering once I have things rolling. Thank you for your inputs. Appreciate it.

    I find myself in a bit of a dilemma, and would appreciate advise from the fastlaners here. I've been working for a co. for a little over 12 years now, as a project manager. Decent job, rather a comfortable one and a decent paycheque along with a great relationship with the owners of the co...
