    Is it financially rewarding to be an insurance agent?

    I have been licensed for over 10 years. and I was an active insurance for several years... I did very well, although not Fastlane, it can be a rewarding career financially. What lines of insurance are you considering? One of the best things about the insurance business is many products will...

    Recruiting and Managing Sales Reps/Salesmanship

    I figured it was about time I gave some value back to this forum, so I have decided to start a thread on recruiting and managing sales reps as well as overall salesmanship. I've been in sales/sales management (I've even done some copywriting for some pretty big-named marketers) for over 10...

    Would you advertise on toilet paper?

    This is an interesting concept... I assume they are giving the toilet paper to businesses for free and selling the ads... Lot's of other angles on this concept: 1. Coffee cup sleeves with ads 2. Pet waste bags 3. Urinal deodorizers 4. Cups, napkins, etc. 5. Signage on benches, golf courses...

    my real estate loan debacle

    REAL ESTATE 
    This is interesting... First off, I want to make it clear that I do not know much about this program... Just for grins, I input my information into the calculator, and I do not qualify for this program due to income. I did some digging, and in Oregon, the maximum income for the zero down...

    Thinking about buying 1 of my vendors...

    I think this all boils down to her established relationships. If you can source the product yourself at comparable margins, there is not huge longterm value there unless she has done extensive branding as you mentioned in your post. I would certainly want to take a look at the business...

    Dane Maxwell- Build Software Companies in 6 months w/o money, experience

    HOT! 
    I just took a look at Dane's offering, and he does have some solid information, but I don't really see the value in what he's offering. What he has given for free is more than enough to get something going... As mentioned above, it seems like a person is paying more for the benefits of a...

    WordPress?

    Wordpress can be a good way to go because it's VERY, VERY easy to install. add content to your site, etc. There is a price for the simplicity though... There are often compatibility issues between versions of Wordpress and the themes and plugins that you use. These can cause issues with...

    Millionaire By 25 Documentary

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    If you want to provide some value to the forum, perhaps you can share with everyone how you were able to setup a gig selling lawn care services and make $14k in commissions in one month... I know several on here are bootstrapping, so this might be something worth talking about as I think many...

    The Comfort of a Good Job...

    Absolutely... the dollars per hour was much better... That industry has changed a lot though. I wouldn't be able to pull that kind of money these days with that little effort... This was 10 years ago back when internet leads were cheap and golden. I could buy 3 leads for $6 per lead and close 1...

    The Comfort of a Good Job...

    You make a good point... It is a big, non-specific goal... My first year in the insurance business, I was making around $60k per year at the age of 19 and working around 10 hours per week. Not Fastlane, but it was awesome. My motivation at the time was wanting to spend as much time as possible...

    The Comfort of a Good Job...

    It's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been lurking here the better part of a year or so. I initially read the MF a little over a year ago, and I've recently just completed the book again. Sadly, I did absolutely NOTHING since reading the book the first time... I had several ideas, but...

    Thinking about buying a Used Luxury Car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I drive an '08 BMW... They are great cars. If you take good care of them, they can last a long time and hold their resale value pretty well. With that being said, maintenance costs are something to definitely consider. I just put 2 new front tires on mine, and they cost over $500. Wiper...
