    Multi-Authored Books

    PUBLISHING 
    I like the idea of producing a book, let's call it "The Best Roads to Drive Around the World". I enjoy writing, travel and photography, so have a fair amount of content already. In my chosen area of interest (not actually driving), no one has done this since pre-2000, despite the niche growing...

    How to inspire young teenagers to ‘open their mind’?

    MINDSET 
    I've seen families that turn making money into a game. Maybe not with the full thousand, but you could challenge him to turn $100 into $500. "Sure, you could spend that $1000 now, but what if you could turn that $1000 into $1400? $2000? $100,000?"

    $100,000 Per Month by 28 Years Old With One Simple Habit Every Day

    MINDSET 
    Very interesting. A lot of things have been falling into place lately for me. When I left full time employment around 18 months ago, the goal was to match my office job income (86k/yr), but with the freedom to earn it anywhere in the world. It took about 7 months to achieve this. Then when I...

    Need help picking a name

    Doesn't matter what you pick, for the first few months you'll probably feel as though it's not as good as it could be. A year later it will be kickass.

    2016 Year of the Hustle... $250k/net profit

    EXECUTION 
    How did you go with the site sale? I sold a forum in Flippa years ago (must have been the first year Flippa was around!?) and it went well. Half considering selling my current, under-performing site but I've read that you don't get as much for them nowadays. May be worth just keeping it for the...

    Consolidation and Focus

    EXECUTION 
    I'd not planned to start one of these threads, but @Andy Black encouraged me. I have some spare time today so thought writing a few things down may help. After taking a step back it seems that there is too much going on day to day for focus. Big Picture Goals Financial independence: live from...

    I want to start a Digital Marketing Agency

    MARKETING 
    Thanks Andy. I'll let you know when it happens. I'm not one to talk about things before they are a success though, so give me a couple of months to get my house in order.

    I want to start a Digital Marketing Agency

    MARKETING 
    This is exactly my thinking right now. I never planned to start an agency but it is happening because I need more time. It's not my end goal, but I now realise I am building a killer team for my own future businesses.

    I want to start a Digital Marketing Agency

    MARKETING 
    Completely agreed. When it comes to digital marketing, trust goes a long way. A few side notes on possible methods to make digital marketing fastlane-ish: Pay per lead Pay per subscriber Commission on sales Automated fixed price products (potentially using SaaS or private products)

    Instagram Mastermind Group

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    This has nothing to do with account growth, it is for the business side to know whether or not Instagram is actually making them money, or if other sources of traffic are a better place to invest.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just found this thread. Brilliant book. I read Think and Grow Rich about 6 months ago and it was a hard slog. Good fundamentals and some important lessons but no clear path. As a car guy, the Millionaire Fastlane spoke to me. I think I read the whole book in 3 days despite a heap of other mayhem...

    Critique This Portfolio

    INVESTING 
    Don't see many portfolio's in this section so I hope this is OK to post. I'm not Fastlane yet but accelerating hard from Slowlane. As @biophase has mentioned a few times, I see value in pulling funds out of the business as overheads are low and building a portfolio as another income stream seems...

    Instagram Mastermind Group

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I have been experimenting with this lately. Instagram to me, if pretty easy for fast growth (though I tend to max out around 100 followers per day). A tip that may help some of you is the best way to track traffic to your site. You may know that due to the way that Instagram sends traffic to...

    Tax Strategy For Wealth Protection/Investments

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Thanks to the both of you. Current plan is to operate my companies out of different countries (eg: holding company in Singapore, trading company in Hong Kong). Theory being that it's a hassle for someone to come after both companies if for instance the trading company is selling a product in...

    Tax Strategy For Wealth Protection/Investments

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Thanks for writing this Trivium, this is something I've been thinking about lately. Does this work for asset protection? Say Ecom Company One sells a product, someone gets injured or there is a frivolous lawsuit, what is the most you can lose? All of the assets from Ecom Company One? Assets from...

    Why I'm Dropping Out Of College

    EXECUTION 
    Critical analysis. Be brutally honest with yourself. Have you/are you: researched how to make a killer eBay listing providing a great product at a price that people value using an established eBay account with lots of positive feedback (if not, are you working hard to attain this) providing a...

    Why I'm Dropping Out Of College

    EXECUTION 
    I think you have already summarized it. You may want to unlearn this trait. If something's not working for you, maybe you should be evaluating your alternatives?

    How Does An Entrepreneur.. Relax

    MINDSET 
    Hell yes. I find watching a half hour or so of TV before bed helps me to switch off. If I read or learn something I'm laying in bed thinking for the next 3 hours.

    Music that Motivates

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Loving this thread! Very diverse. Stay up, wake up, cake up, get paper! For some reason, these guys get me to be the most productive I can be. Their lyrics are not positive, but whatever it is, it works. Maybe their bleak outlook encourages a sink or swim approach to life... and I'm not sinking.
