    I have to agree with you, Almantas. We've discussed that frequently. She majored in accounting in college as did I. So, we both have that foundation. She does subscribe to the Fastlane mentality and has quite a lot of ambition herself. As I explained to Jon, she became one of the top agents...

    Thanks, Duane. My wife and I made the decision for her to be a stay at home mother mainly because we wanted one of us raising him and not some day care workers. We strongly feel it's important for him to have one of us home with him for the first few years. Plus, with her being up half the...

    Jon, I'm not sure why you would say that. If passing one part of a 4-part test, doing literally thousands of questions, and watching hours upon hours of lecture isn't representative of a burning desire for something more out of my life -- I don't know what is. This is part one of the process...

    Not exactly, she's handling whatever deals she had ongoing and only working referrals.

    Hi Everybody, I wanted to get opinions and comments on the next steps I plan to make in my life / career. I've posted here only a handful of times. I've been more of a lurker than anything. MJ may recall some of my journey when I first joined the Fastlane. Let me give you some quick...

    iAmTrade -- Thanks for sharing this. I'm working on my CPA at the moment. My goal would be to do something along the lines of what your friend is doing once I pass. I would love to learn more about how he did it if you don't mind. What you shared about your friend is very encouraging.

    MJ -- thank you very much for responding. I knew listing my site and how I was approaching everything was going to help me make sure I'm in right direction. So, I'm happy you and everybody else is being honest. That's what I need. I see that I'm violating most (if not all) of the commandments...

    John, I appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed post. Do you think we could chat via PM or email? I really would like to learn more about what you did, what worked, what didn't work, what MJ said, and the pivot you made in your business. To answer your questions: 1. I was not...

    OK, thanks for that. I will certainly consider switching it out to allow users to see the content. Ha, what business is that? Seriously though, my reason behind this business was due to the rise of the "second screen" affect and because in my research, sports fans what a place to call their...

    Mike, yes all of your concerns are certainly valid. I couldn't help but laugh about the p0rn reference too. I understand that it may be tough to see at first and no I do not have a lot of users at the moment. Only a handful of sign ups and active users. I really only just started it and it's...

    Thanks so much for your response and honest feedback. I really do appreciate it. Seriously. I agree -- at this point in time -- I have a lot to do just to even match some of my competitors. I see what you're saying about the home page and I will work on making it more clear. I should specify...

    Chris, thanks for your response. I did search for ready-made Pinterest clone scripts previously. However, my goal was to create something from scratch and have control over the look / feel from the beginning. But, now that you brought it up, maybe I can see what I can incorporate from a...

    Building a website better then Groupon

    Gent, you don't necessarily need to go back to the drawing board. Is there something you can do better? Is there a niche with a need you can solve? Can you simply learn something by going through the motions of putting it together? As for resources, if you're interested in sites like Groupon...

    Best of luck as you try to figure all of this out. I took it upon myself to learn to code this year as well after years of mulling it over. To be frank, WordPress and learning to code are pretty different. With WordPress, if you don't know how to code, you're learning how to use the themes...
