    Closing my company – Post-mortem analysis so you can learn from my mistakes

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for sharing your story! I am very impressed with you that you are viewing this as a learning experience and moving on quickly to your next effort. Last year I had to shut down operations for my traditional business. I am still devastated and have only begun the process of looking at...

    Let’s be real: If you're over 35, you don't have a chance.

    HOT! SPEEDWAY 
    FYI some of my best clients are doctors who have built their practices into Fastlane businesses in which they don't even treat patients anymore (or only work when they want to) or have used the money they've made to invest in real estate, hotels or other Fastlane businesses. It's a path that can...

    Laid off, presented with a golden opportunity

    INTRO 
    Two things I see missing are marketing and administrative expenses. If you are only doing work for one client, and they are the major source of your revenue, you are put in a vulnerable position. (I learned this lesson the hard way!) You should look at what you will do to reach out to prospects...

    Free Insider Subscription, How Has "Fastlane" Helped You?

    HOT! 
    I really loved how the Millionaire Fastlane clarified for me the value of the business I already have. I took over sole management of my family business late last year. I was discouraged, overwhelmed and, frankly, worried if I was up to the task. (I still am some days!) Reviewing the CENTS and...

    Rich Dad's latest scam?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have read many of Kiyosaki's books and they were very valuable in opening my eyes to entrepreneurship and investing. The most important thing I learned was his distinction between owning a business and owning a job! I also played his board game and found it educational and entertaining. It is...

    Law of Attraction

    MINDSET 
    I think the LOA can be valuable in changing someone's mindset to motivate them to take action. For example, if you have self-esteem issues (which, as a woman, I assure you can be a challenge being in business) you may not feel worthy of success. This can subliminally prevent you from taking the...

    The Chimp Paradox, by Dr. Steve Peters (Review & Discussion)

    I just purchased the book based on your mention of it. I've read the first couple of chapters and it's already given me some "Ah hah" moments. I look forward to reading your review.

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    I agree. However, my husband loves his Harley and will never give it up. So I got a big-a$$ life insurance policy in case the worst happens.

    Grant Cardone is off his rocker...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I am a GC fan but was very disappointed in this I interview. I am a customer of both their programs. I disagree with GC that everyone is a customer. When I receive phone calls myself I am very upfront with the reps if I am never going to buy a product because it's not a good fit, etc. Some...

    Tricky subject (Gun/weapon training)

    HOT! 
    YouTube/social media would probably get you more exposure than a book, but the risk is that they will start banning or limiting exposure of accounts that have anything to do with guns. You could do research on what people are searching on Google related to women and guns and then do social...

    I feel lost

    MINDSET 
    I am a mom to a millennial, and I see both sides. Your mom is right in that college can open up a whole new world for you and expose you to people you wouldn't meet otherwise. It's an amazing experience for a young person, especially if you don't have to take on the burden of student loans like...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read it. And I'm reading it AGAIN to stay inspired and keep myself focused on turning my business into a human resource system. Your book is amazing!

    Are some of you an entrepreneur in the IT area?

    I own an MSP. The #1 challenge I have found with starting a business based on a skill you have is that you're not just in the business of delivering your skill. You are in the business of convincing people to buy the delivering of your skill and then making sure there is a mechanism in place to...

    Let’s be real: If you're over 35, you don't have a chance.

    HOT! SPEEDWAY 
    I believe you can be successful at any age. There are too many examples of people having entrepreneurial success at 35+. However, I believe it would be much easier to achieve earlier in life before marriage, kids and financial obligations have entered the picture. I would encourage people to...

    Want to Make My Traditional Business a Success

    INTRO 
    Hi everyone! I own a service business. My husband started the company 15 years ago. He got the opportunity to do some specialized work for a large organization so now everything is up to me. I embrace the challenge! I've progressed from helping him with some administrative and bookkeeping...
