    Time Mgmt: Opportunity Cost Of Gym Membership

    RANT 
    This is so helpful - thank you for responding! Moving over to the good gym. To the home gym guy, I did consider that but I like having a reason to leave the house (I work from home and can get that whole lonely entrepreneur thing going.) Also, I like parking in the garage. Once I get a...

    How Many Competitors Needed?

    I've got an idea for a business... lead generation for studio musicians and music producers. There is one big competitor. They have a few negative reviews so there's room to do it better. Is it a red flag that there's only one competitor? Is there any way to know if this competitor is...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just listened to the Fastlane audiobook. Wow - this came at the exact right time in my life when I was ready to hear it! Wish I had been open to this way of thinking a decade ago but, hey, you get in where you get in.
