    Do you have any Phone Service recommendations?

    PEOPLE 
    I love this model, Is it correct to assume you are based in the US? in the UK so many properties go on the market looking shocking, with the hope that a potential client will see "past" the 70 year old wallpaper. If I may ask whats your payment model? do you only charge for the maintenance...

    Fastlane AMA: James Altucher; Startups, Publishing, Bloggin More...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Hi James, Thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions - its much appreciated. I would love to know how you keep the balance and focus right e.g. 1) To spend enough time working on your business to make it succesful (especially in the early stages) 2) Be a good parent/husband 3)...

    The Test - and a leap of faith.

    MINDSET 
    Since I joined forces with my wife's "hobbie" business selling vintage and retro homeware a year back to scale it to give us the platform to decide how we wanted to work - we have learnt a hell of a lot, had to face hurdle after hurdle all of the time trying to balance growing the business...

    What does your days look like?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I was thinking about asking a similar question on this forum - and was glad to see someone else had asked before I had... However I was somewhat a little surprised your day is as it is Omerta - but I guess your young and free :) time will tell! For me - as a entrepreneur with a young family...

    Overcoming Internal Resistance - Moving at different speeds

    MINDSET 
    I appreciate in "the book" there was a whole chapter dedicated to escaping headwinds (particularly of people who are holding you back). And how anyone that is holding you/your business back needs to be removed from the picture... My business partner and I agree on most things and have...

    Website Progress - What do you guys think??

    EXECUTION 
    Great reply by stephanduq for a plugin (although your dev team should have researched this). I must question this statement - if your customers are buying because you have the latest tech solution you have a big problem... surely you can differentiate in some other way? I cannot see why a...

    Website Progress - What do you guys think??

    EXECUTION 
    When you say "infinite scroll" you mean like google images or Pinterest? e.g. you get to the bottom of the page and more products/photo's are dynamically loaded? Assuming that is correct - its far from impossible (otherwise it would not have been done before), however in my opinion (I'm more...

    How can you focus on only one topic

    MINDSET 
    The fact you are accepting its a problem is surely the key to the solution? Like everything else its learnt - make your mind up that you WILL concentrate on one thing. For example 1) Analyse what is going to most help you achieve your goals in the next 2 weeks. 2) Make a commitment to...

    Website Progress - What do you guys think??

    EXECUTION 
    Dev + design are sadly 2 totally different disciplines.. someone that claims to be good at both is likely to be crap at both.

    Website Progress - What do you guys think??

    EXECUTION 
    Clayton - I can personally recommend some dev's in Bulgaria - have used a few times and really impressed - I won't say they are the cheapest but you do get what you pay for. As a dev myself its pretty easy to know when people are good or not and 95% of the time outsourced dev's dont know there...

    What are your biggest business frustrations/problems right now?

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for this - how about some techniques on how to keep focused? You know the drill - you sit down to write that "killa" autoresponder and then you say - hey I just need to ... check the news.. check this forum... do some more research... Or is that just me..

    (AMA) Ask Me Anything About Email Marketing!

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for this thecalmpickle - learnt loads already! Would appreciate any feedback on my situation.. We are currently selling 99% on eBay and trying initially to get some repeat business by follow up emails (as we have their name/email address although really shouldn't be using it for this...

    Tourism niche for the digital age...idea?

    IDEA 
    I'm not sure from this post what your idea is? I worked in travel for a long time it's a funny industry - just ask yourself 1. What potential customer pain am I trying to solve? 2. Will the potential customers be willing to pay for it? Ask potential customers and be realistic with the...

    Start reading (self help) or (bussines?

    HOT! 
    I disagree - you don't need to run before you walk, learn how to make money one dollar at a time. Wen we first started selling on ebay we had 10 things on sale at a time- none large enough to cause a storage issue.... Space was not the issue, now we have 800 and now space is a issue. Be wary...

    A Car Story

    Just read this - great post, it's often our ego which drives us (what will people think about us) which is screwed as its very short lived (once your friends see your car are jealous with envy and think your now a knob) you get short lived glow... But the. Your back to reality...things are just...
