    My summer project: Building My First App

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hello Aubreyj. If I could give some advice on building the app, I would say focus on understanding what you need to know to program your app in objective-c, not learning the whole language. If you learn enough to have a basic understanding of objective-c, then you can figure out what topics in...

    One LLC, multiple unrelated products?

    I would also say ask a lawyer, accountant or CFP. However, if you are willing to pay for a separate LLC, it probably makes sense from a legal liability standpoint. If both products are in the same LLC and a lawsuit is filed against the LCC, it could be that you are liable for assets in BOTH...

    Government employees mind sets?

    EXECUTION 
    I spent a lot of my youth in the Washington DC area. Let's just say I have no intention of returning to live or work there. The place has the attitude of "grab as much money as you can from the people" before people catch on. This mindset affects most people who live there. I would stay clear...

    Does Your Webhost Suck? Or Is It Full of Awesomeness?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I use LiquidWeb for hosting as well. If it had not been for this forum and seeing them recommended here, I would not have known about them. Tangible example of SUCS leading to more business.

    SLOWLANE 
    Once I graduate college in a couple months, I'm working with for a fastlaner on his tech start-up. Using it as an opportunity to learn a lot. I'm hired officially as a software engineer, but he's basically taking me on as an apprentice. Anyone else done this, specifically in the software...

    Being blunt can get you what you want

    MINDSET 
    Nice post, @Roland. I've also experienced the power of going after what you want directly and bluntly. About 6 months ago, I really wanted to work for this fastlaner at his new startup once I graduated from college. I had been a intern for him a couple years ago and realized I could LEARN so...

    Repositories for code

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm building a web app to turn into a business. Just added another web developer to my team. (https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/smartmoneys-beginnings.49515/) With another developer, it makes sense to use an online repository. Seems like the big players are Github and...

    What are your chances of succeeding with these types of investments?

    INVESTING 
    If you're going to invest in publically traded securities, then I think index funds (which are passive) are the least bad option. Picking individual securities demands a enormous amount of time dedicated to researching the markets. Most people don't bother to adjust their returns for how much...
