    Observations of a Fastlane Forum Lurker and my idea/plan.

    IDEA 
    Great post David! I love your enthusiam, your rational thought process, your realistic perspective, and your insight. I think if you plan your work (or really tweak the details, as you already have an overarching plan from inception to exit strategy) and then work your plan you will be a...

    How much does it cost to have a contract written?

    I am way late to this, but for posterity: It may be worthwhile to stop by Staples or NOLO.com and download what you are looking for contract wise. There are packages that come with many of the forms you would need for certain types of business (Landlording, Sales, Property Management, etc.)...

    Is going to college a waste of time?

    HOT! 
    I think that the question of "Is college a waste of time" is very personal, and is different for each person. It depends on what you want for yourself, the value you find in the proposition, and how you want to experience life. High school should be finished categorically, but after that it...

    Thanks Bozigian. Being a International Business/Legal Studies major will do that to you.

    My apologies to you also, Ryan. I perhaps was brash and overzealous in the defense of my assertion, and thought that my rebuttal was lucid and well thought out. I hope you will accept this apology, and allow us to move forward amicably. Also, my apologies to MJ if required. I most certainly...

    Too true, Bateati, but I believe that this curriculum could be beneficial even in the public school system. In fact, I feel it may almost be more necessary to have it in public school systems. My reasoning is this: If you are attending a private school, your family may already have money...

    2 Projects at once?????

    This is what I was thinking. In the interim while waiting for the manufacturing process lead-time to expire, pre-sell if possible or use that downtime to get the IP ready for product B in the pipeline. You could also spend some time developing your HR or distribution system, which you will...

    This guy is making money off 2012

    Fear is one of the primary purchase motivators. Always has been, always will be. Not that there isn't a need to be prepared for an emergency with a solid kit, (natural disasters, etc.) but people flocking due to the 2012 approach does seem rather illogical. Fear, however, is inherently...

    Interestingly enough, he could have simply said "It wasn't directed at you, and I do agree with your statement." Unfortunately, he seems to have made my point for me. Sad really, because if he agreed with me, then there are a great many topics we shall never speak on because of his...

    Which is the more logical choice?

    Be very careful with this, especially if you don't have a patent issued. Once they reverse engineer it (which they could once it is in their possession,) they may have contacts at the same big companies willing to pay them for your design. If it is all on the up and up, then you have some...

    And no, I don't hate everything!

    Welcome Mickey!! This forum is a wealth of information, and I wish you the best in you upcoming pursuits!! As a welcoming gift, I give this gem: The Fastlane searchbox is your friend! Many topics have been covered (some exhaustively,) other remain presently undiscovered, but running a search...

    Considering this closing statement, I must assume this was an ad hominem statement. Or perhaps I shall start my own. It certainly is an idea to entertain and develop. I talked about things that have been noticed in our culture, and developed suggestions for improvement. I included points...

    We neglect the financial literacy of our culture as a whole, and it shows. The whole sub prime mess was over-lending, poor documentation, and UNEDUCATED CONSUMERS. I knew how mortgages worked when I was 13 years old, and was astonished 15 years later to discover how many people my age didn't...

    Ireland was a corporate draw due to extremely low taxes, however they are having a wee bit of financial difficulty on the national level at the moment, so I don't know if you want to head off to the Emerald Isle just yet.
