    New effort at licensing!

    EXECUTION 
    Stephen Key is actually a "Legendary Member" here. He did kind of a breakdown of his (Stephen Key) licensing activities (see this link) at the time of the post. Regarding what you can make licensing, I think I did the math and the revenue looked like that of a decent/good salary these days...

    I've failed at this for 9 years... what now?

    HOT! 
    I went to college with the son of the richest bakery owner in Venezuela. He told me his father's story, which I remember pretty well. His father owned a couple of hotels in my town, and he wasn't even from there. Maybe around the 1980's, his father noticed that one of the most laborious parts...

    Buy It for Life - Your Favorite Durable, High-Quality Products That Are Made to Last

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Bambu Lab X1C 3D printer (actually a couple of families of 3D printers). Bambu Lab is a Chinese company that launched a kickstarter with their top of the line machine (the X1C). They did not greatly innovate, but took a bunch of lose concepts in 3D printing and put them together very very...

    A.I. is trying to come for musicians now.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I recently saw a post that really made me think, I can't remember the source, but it went something like: "I thought AI would do the dishes and laundry while I focused on poems and painting, when in fact it is just the opposite" (or something of the sorts). This very much sums up the actual...

    3D printing & scanning spare parts for household appliances

    IDEA 
    I am a long time lurker, have tried a few ideas and have not gotten one to work yet. I may not be a good example, but I find your idea very exciting. Some of my ideas have been in the services side and some in the physical product side, for which I use 3D printing a lot. Since around 2011...

    Buying a business vs starting from scratch

    MINDSET EXECUTION QUESTION 
    When I hear "buying a business" two cases that I know of come to mind. This is a n=2 from my perspective, so take it with grain of salt, but I realized that buying a business and thinking you can improve it is far from easy. #1. Austin, TX, 2001, car transmission shop. My car's transmission...

    Introducing myself as I now think I understand the Forum

    INTRO 
    Ok, I think I had my FTE. Here is the post on the FTE/FTM thread. I quit my job and I have a 6 month runway to get some traction (a bit of savings) or go back to a job. I will be doing consulting with a tech product component (that I am building simultaneously). Hopefuly I can get this off the...

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    ...my next FTE starting that day. HOWEVER, this time (2 years after the blood shut eye / coughing / abusive customer event), this is what made the sh*t hit the fan in my brain (a three part sh#t train), it may not sound that stressful in comparison with other FTE/FTMs here (I am truly humbled...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I wonder if it is possible to put 2 and 2 together for an entrepreneur and get the $10k grant for remote workers and score a livable house for the same amount... Apparently Kansas has the remote worker 10K grant program...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    Forget the notion of Left and Right, how Venezuela went down the drain was a different thing. Venezuela was always left leaning, with two parties, one conservative (Partiso Social Cristiano - note that the conservatives had the word "social" in their name ), and the liberal party (Accion...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    I feel blessed to live in the USA BECAUSE I was lucky enough to have escaped Venezuela. I see people complaining about first world problems like taxes, rules and regulations and I think to myself, what if you lived in Venezuela ?!?, where taxes come in the form of risking your life just to go...

    Quit my job after reading MJ DeMarco's book

    MINDSET FTE 
    Are jobs in France truly 5/7 ? Here 5/8 jobs are actually (in my experience) 6/10+ jobs. Don't quit unless you have already something with enough traction... keep on trying while at work.

    How to start a new online business ?

    As suggested above, you could probably make your own with the right wordpress plugins; that may be enough for a initial proof of concept that you could scale later. Search for "wordpress dating sites" "build wordpress dating site" "wordpress dating themes", there are several pre-built options...

    Hi @RayAndré , Welcome to the Tampabay area I am in Indian Rocks Beach and just love living here. There seems to be not much of movement in this thread. I am a Fastlane wannabe, but if there is enough quorum for a meetup, I am in.

    Interesting product and marketing experiment. Thank you very much for sharing. - Is this product for an unfinished room such as a basement or garage ? or just any room in a house ? - If yes above, is there a way to target people as they move into new homes, or when they are looking to install...

    INTRO 
    Thank you for all the kind words. Here is my update as I am keeping this thread as sort of a journal to remind myself and get some wisdom from others when appropriate. It may resonate hollow to some here, but I feel like I am making some steps in the right direction. Here is what has been...

    Making Money with Matlab and Python scripting

    Welcome to the forum, I am also a newbie here as this is my second post. I've been following a few threads over some months thought. I am also a long time Matlab programmer, but when I left the academic setting (PhD/Postdoc) found myself at odds with Matlab as I didn't want to cough-up the...

    Uncommon books that you'd recommend?

    BOOKS 
    Antifragile by Nassim Taleb. I absolutely hate the author, but if you are able to digest the book, the message in it is pretty deep and revealing, and it is a nice complement to The Millionaire Fastlane. I'd have to read the book again, but one of the messages it left me is the following...
