    Colorado/Denver Lunch Meeting

    MEETUPS 
    I’m going to be in Denver this morning. If anyone wants to get together at noon, how about Whole Foods Union Station? Parking meters are free on Sundays, or in their garage with a $10 purchase. If not at least 2 other people respond before 11:30am, we’ll postpone for another time.

    So, uhmmm 2/2 is the Super Bowl. But I’d be down for a lunch meeting, instead. Not sure who all is still interested.

    What will you accomplish in 2020? <-- Well did u?

    EXECUTION 
    I’m stealing my husband’s word for the year: Clarity, 20/20 Vision in 2020. I’ve set stretch business revenue and net profit goals. I need to get clear about what I’m NOT going to do - activities I can Delete or Delegate - then find people and set up systems to make it happen. I’m breaking my...

    Hello to all! A new beginning!

    INTRO 
    Welcome! If you’re in the Denver area, we’re shooting for a meetup 2/2 at 2pm. Still figuring out where, but probably close to downtown. Follow this thread for updates: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/colorado-denver-lunch-meeting.64086/

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    I use Craftybase. It was originally designed for Etsy sellers, but it can also pull orders from Shopify and FBM Amazon. It only pulls data. It will decrease the inventory count for each sale, but it will not change the available inventory count on your channels. For the price, it suits my needs.

    Non-Business Book Recommendation Thread

    HOT! 
    Learning about my Enneagram personality type has been really helpful. I’m not sure there’s one book that stands out, since I’ve read so many, and they start to run together. I like the ones by Don Richard Riso. Two random, entertaining non-business books: “Emergency” (Neil Strauss), “American...

    What will you accomplish in 2019?

    EXECUTION 
    I was shooting for 4X my 2018 revenue, but reached a little over 3X. I’m starting to get some help and systems in place, which was my focus for the year. I hired my old Virtual Assistant back, and contracted out to a PPC guy and fulfillment gal. It was a really great year. We took a month-long...

    Colorado/Denver Lunch Meeting

    MEETUPS 
    @tigerbalm - I’m in Broomfield / Westminster. Tagging @MarkNNelson and @LouieLouie, who are North of town. And @Davidla, who has a Denver homebase, when he’s not traveling. And I forgot Kyle D’s forum name, and Steve might want to join (David, help!).

    Where Did They All Go?

    HOT! 
    This is the inherent problem with communicating via a text-based forum. Intention gets lost in translation. Genuine praise is misinterpreted as scathing sarcasm. Helpful advice gets misconstrued for criticism. Mistaken identities are created from Google. @BizyDad - We all make mistakes...

    Where Did They All Go?

    HOT! 
    I think @csalvato already summed it up. This is why I’m not on the forum. I'm only here to get Summit details, and I follow a handful of friends here. It’s too easy for people to be anonymous jerks behind a screen. And we lose all those non-verbal communication cues that Arrabista talks about...

    Biophase & Snowbank get pitched MLM in Barnes & Noble

    HOT! 
    I used to have a business that sold to primarily MLM women. I shut it down in January. Even though I was making money (more than they were, most likely), my conscience didn’t feel right about it. I justified it by hoping that those women were learning skills to start their own real businesses...

    The Etsy MEGA Thread... Best Practices, Use, Etc.

    HOT! 
    I haven’t tried Plus, but Etsy has stated that it doesn’t help with rankings. It sounds like you get $5 worth of advertising and 15 listings ($.20 each = $3). There looks to be some other minor perks, and I noticed a beta “notify when out of stock” option that I believe they will switch to Plus...

    2020 Fastlane Summit at Talking Stick Resort... Event Info

    MEETUPS 
    I wouldn’t miss it. It’s my favorite weekend every year. Those of you who are asking for recordings and video streams of the presentations... you are totally missing the point. I actually hate the presentations part. Sorry, I love you guys, but it’s true. I have a short attention span, and the...

    E-Commerce from Start to Scale to... (Sold?)

    GOLD! 
    Brings back great memories! I remember your presentation that year, and @TopChef, too. Both presentations were on tricks that I had never heard of, even being in e-commerce myself. It bolstered my decision to go to the meetup every year. Fun times in Guangzhou. I don’t have a photo from 2014. I...

    I’m no accountant, but there’s something called the “safe harbor” rule. If you pay at least 90% of current year or 100% of the previous year (whichever is smaller), there’s no penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. Because my business is growing, I just make sure I pay at least the same...

    "Hustle House": What would you want living-wise as an entrepreneur?

    HOT! 
    Can I go off on a too-much-beer-rant? And it's totally disconjointed, sorry. (@JAJT ... any chance of smuggling some KETO craft beers across the border next year?). The guy-to-gal ratio is no joke. Usually, at the Summit, the bathroom lines for the women ROCK! It’s @Red (my partner in crime)...
