    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I'm still learning the distinction myself, but I think "hawking your wares" is sidewalking, "filling a need" is Fastlane.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read the book after joining the forum originally. I just finally got around to finding out how to "prove" it by posting here. It was definitely a good read and I plan to read it again. My job was made redundant in Nov 2016 and I'm currently working a contract that ends in January 2018, but I...

    Tshirt Designs - Will they sell?

    HOT! 
    So my current plan is build up a rep and base of designs that people are actually buying before I spend money on hosting and advertising. Using tshirt sites as a testing marketplace for 0 cost until I get enough funds to go into ad marketing and hosting my own ecommerce store. Sent from my...

    Tshirt Designs - Will they sell?

    HOT! 
    Ok..., what do you mean what about sales? Been meaning to make an update lately and have been crushed by life. Strangely last month on a POD site I sold 2 stickers and a mug based on a design I did inspired by the Tragically Hip [emoji1] . My buddy who runs a landscaping biz wants 30 shirts...

    Business Consultant....fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    You're still working on a limit of your own time unless you are getting residual income from the detail. Nothing wrong with being a business owner, but since the question was "Is it Fastlane" then I think it would be no. Also having employees has other difficulties and limitations that MJ goes...

    The Basics of Pricing

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    I've thought about that for shirt sales but I think you're right it works best for people paying cash. In Canada they eliminated the penny a couple of years ago, so anything you pay cash for you either save a pen or two or lose a penny or two depending on the final price. Paying with...

    The Basics of Pricing

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    But think of it as an experiment! Get a track of sales now, then make the changes and see over a period of time (depending on how often you make a sale I suppoose) and take into account seasonal / weather difference if applicable. Then you'll be closer to knowing for sure if it work with your...

    The Basics of Pricing

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Loved your post. I'd give you rep but I'm on my phone too. [emoji16] I had heard about this year's ago but never could track down the details. Now I totally want to go to all my print-on-demand sites and change my pricing. Interestingly some set all prices rounded to the dollar.

    IDEA 
    My lord with all these tips how are there not more likes on it? Thanks so much. I think I have a niche but I'm looking for ways to verify it. Or something else I should be looking at. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-A500W using Tapatalk

    Questions about creating courses on Udemy

    I'm planning on doing a few courses on Udemy too. Then once income starts have you considered hosting the course yourself so Udemy doesn't get a cut or would the marketing needed make it a useless venture? I'd say either unpublish it or try and fix the problems. Sent from my SM-A500W using...

    This is Killing Me Inside (Need Advice)

    MINDSET 
    Stick it out and get the degree then you'll have many more options including a 9-5 that pays good but might leave you drained, or a simple McJob that leaves you with time to focus on side businesses. Tip for the future : keep it to 1 business until it supports itself without over spending time...

    What is needed to start a online company?

    HOT! 
    You might want to try lower on the corporate ladder and find the people at lower levels of the companies that would be actually having the problems you plan on solving. Have you worked in the transportation industry? Are you familiar with the problems companies are facing? If not you might...

    Paying Yourself First

    EXECUTION 
    I don't really think the book mentions the term "bootstrapping" at all. It's the term used for financing your business without getting any external funding from someone else. For example, I started a tshirt design business but kind of did it wrong. Note: I have a fulltime job as a computer guy...

    Just before Xmas I registered my name as an Ontario business for $60 CAD and that allowed me to apply for an HST number. I can now apply as a reseller or wholesaler and set up an account with AlphaBroder.ca. Now I just have to figure out how to make the best use out of it all. Custom printing...

    I just posted this on another forum but I lost my job on Monday, November 28. I was working there for 16 years. Redundancy layoff was quite sudden and there may be some funny business going on. So on the Instagram account I started for my next new business, I used Nov 28 as the birthday setting...
