    Fastlane Is So Much Pressure

    HOT! 
    I think you're feeling overwhelmed because you're not sure what you should be doing. You don't need more hours in a day, because you'd just fill those hours up feeling overwhelmed and guilty by things you didn't do. What you need is simply more space and clearance in your head. Write this on a...

    What is your life like without a college degree?

    HOT! 
    Second year into marketing management. I'm dropping one class this semester to ease up while working on my business, and hopefully I'll drop out from it all when it takes off. I would rather have a few good grades and take a semester/year more rather than having mediocre grades (its marketing...

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Currently finishing up "Brain Rules". Also recently started "To Sell is Human" (about 50 pages in) which I currently can't recommend because all the author has done up till now is to try to convince me how everybody is selling in some way with lots of different statistics and numbers. One of...

    How many hours do you work a week!

    It's true europeans tend to work less. In Norway a lot of people don't even work full time yet have more than enough money. My neighbor earns well over $130k (as far as I know) and starts his weekend on thursdays. Working on your own thing is good(fastlane), but I cringe whenever I hear people...

    Why you are poor [video]

    MINDSET 
    Saw this video a while ago and thought someone else might benefit from it too. I kept thinking I had to read another book and go more in-depth in my field and learn everything, but getting rich isn't always intellectually hard or stimulating. His best advice is "just F*cking do it".

    Branded Boxes?

    Not necessary at all, but it can still be a nice touch that may get you some cheap advertising. Personally I'm gonna use generic brown boxes and custom packaging tape with the name on it.

    Where do I even begin? - starving artist needs direction

    PUBLISHING 
    I say give it a try, you can earn some decent money with a good hourly rate at fiverr. Have a nice portfolio and good options for extra gigs. A lot of the artists have the basic $5 gig which gives some very simple design (but are actually useless, often have watermarks, low resolution etc), and...

    Importance of Product Packaging and Perception

    With a luxury packaging you create bigger expectations, and when you create expectations you somehow got to live up to them. And trying to become an 'upscale luxury' product is a big cliché that everyone tries to do. My tip is go to the shelf where your product will be placed and look at how...

    Should I dump my 11 year old business and start over?

    You'll get nowhere if you just 'hang on' to your business and hope something magical happens that will it grow, you make it grow by taking action yourself. Read business books (customer service, marketing, whatever thats related) in your spare time and apply that knowledge.

    Sustaining Great Energy Levels?

    Supplements are more efficient and cheaper than food if he has a deficiency in anything. There are also tons of ways to increase and decrease testosterone and the hormone can fluctuate a lot.

    Do you rather work on your business or do you rather sleep?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I always cringe at these 'gurus' giving the one magic ingredient to success that worked for them and they think is universal. Most people would likely benefit more by having a better time-management and working more efficient rather than just sleeping less. After prolonged periods of little...

    Is labeling yourself a "Startup" the slowlane?

    SLOWLANE 
    I understood what you meant by the second time I read trough your post. Yes I can agree that labeling yourself as a start-up can stall your business, however I don't agree with the ridiculing of college-students(or anyone) that try to form a business. If they believe in it then who are you to...
