    4 Partners, How to Pay, Structure Ownership... Help!!

    PEOPLE 
    Hey guys, Thanks a lot for the advice. That article was really useful too. I'm going to propose that we earn every bit of the ownership of the company and that we choose an arbitrator. I'm still split on whether we should tie wages to ownership. Jonlee makes a good counter-argument, that if an...

    4 Partners, How to Pay, Structure Ownership... Help!!

    PEOPLE 
    The answers are really helpful so far... I think the "rates for work" thing might be a challenge since a lot of it will be performance-based (getting customers and having a high retention rate). I imagine that being a bit of a nightmare, though it's not as big of a deal as the ownership issue...

    4 Partners, How to Pay, Structure Ownership... Help!!

    PEOPLE 
    Myself and three partners are starting a service/information product company that involves various non-income and income-generating tasks, some immediately generate income and some passively generate income. E.g., coaching, marketing, writing a book and building coaching plans. Not all...

    The Dissatisfaction Cycle

    MINDSET 
    Hey Jacob, Thanks for this. I'm going to look at the idea every day - it's definitely true in everything I've ever done. I just started Stage 3, but I've been to Stage 4 and I know it's around the corner. Much love, T

    Market Samurai - Buggiest Program Ever

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I would say, "That sounds like a smart move" but I'm one of the users. I have my own metrics that MS wasn't really helping with, so I wasn't using it for anything besides rank tracking anyway. I'm a little sad about losing that, but I've mostly decided on relying on GWT and my tracking tools...

    Teaching Dating, Getting Customers, No Bullshit

    I finally got to release the update! Check it out, Compliments | Yo Dawg, I Heard You Like Compliments. If you're just tuning in, "it's different" probably isn't very helpful, but my mind is way past the update phase so I'll just leave it at that ;) Now I'll be working on 2 related sites and...

    Occupy Wallstreet Thoughts

    HOT! 
    I don't think anything is going to be accomplished by OWS. It's too disorganized for anyone to support it politically. If I said, "I support OWS" and tried to run for president, a hundred different manifestos like the "abolish all debts" one on the first page would come out against me. In fact...

    Use unexpected funds to payoff debt or grow business?

    Adding to what Roark said, I always float at least $10,000 in cash. Before I started doing that, I was into affiliate marketing and I had a scalable PPC campaign with an ROI of 2:1 - I ran out of money to double. Never again. If you know the ROI of your money invested, then I'd put at least some...

    My FastLane Business - Day by Day Story

    Hey man, My opinion is that you can't think about this idea. It's simple enough that you should just start DOING it. Set a price. Start cold-calling from the phone book. Send out flyers. Knock on doors. Get referrals from friends and neighbours. You'll learn and improve it as you go. If you...

    How about this for Fastlane!?

    I haven't suffered any major failures that I can attribute either way, but I do know that the way SEO works is almost devoid of the "how it looked originally" concept. Sure, hundreds or thousands of people will see or interact with an ugly interface, but in SEO people are counted as "daily...

    One sidewalker seeks Fastlane success and to share my life value

    Hey AJ, I'm in the exact same boat as you, minus the coaching with a big company - though I did get the chance to do LS-Europe's 2-month Rockstar thing. I totally get the switch in values over to wealth. "Hey, I needed to get good at dating, so I worked at it in a methodical way and got the...

    Hey man, I'm glad you're learning so much as you truck through this :) Drupal's a catastrophe to work with at first, but once you get the hang of it it's very powerful. I think you can do it :)

    How about this for Fastlane!?

    Hey Mink, I'm working on a similar model as you at the moment. I'm sure we'll run into similar problems. What are you doing for constant content creation, encouraging returning visitors, etc? I'll send you a PM.
