    A Fastlaner's Rainy Day

    Not a millionaire, so don't listen to me, but... I like MJ's rainy day philosophy, because the goal is to have a "job" that I'm passionate about. One I like to spend time on -- even "free" time. For now, my free time (the hours that I am not at either of my jobs) is all spent on building my...

    Maslow's hierarchy of needs

    I really like the idea of creating businesses (or products or services) for desperate buyers only. You can satisfy people's wants all day, but satisfying their NEEDS is what will keep a company flush with customers. The farther down the pyramid your business model penetrates, the more...

    EXECUTION 
    Great story and a real inspiration. I would love to hear your thoughts on No Lambo for Get-Rich-Slow Folks? Not because I think you are in the slowlane, but because I think you have a different answer than I have received thusfar. When does someone have so much money that it makes sense to...

    Renters' "Bidding War?"

    REAL ESTATE 
    If you're still making money off them, great. I thought the rent was coming in at a loss. I misread.

    You're welcome. I hope it helps. Just stay focused and read like a pro. There's a lot of info out there, and you need to sift thought the jargon to the content, so that you avoid analysis paralysis.

    new domain name

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sounds like your domains are parked, but if you want to develop them yourself, you should host them as inexpensively as possible. I've been using GooglePages, and it's satisfactory for the startup stages and includes basic templates for building some pages. Plus, it integrates handily with...

    My new site venture....

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hell, GooglePages lets customers do what you are talking about for free. You could build a page for them there then retain control of the login info for a fee.

    Is taking a charity-case tenant under market really fastlane? The way I see it, I need to cashflow. If that means screening deeper/waiting longer -- so be it.

    REAL ESTATE

    There's an old story about a guy who sees what he thinks might be some dog shit. He looks at it, smells it, touches it, TASTES it even! He decides yes, that is definitely dog shit and is glad he didn't step in it. The goal is to increase the speed with which we recognize dog shit without...

    Defining Success

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Re: What does success mean to you? In the 7 Habits, Covey points out that success has negative financial connotations. That's why the book is about being an "EFFECTIVE" person.

    Pay Off Your Mortgage?

    REAL ESTATE 
    That's what I didn't get. Ha! Everyone I know is telling me to kick in a little extra every month on my mortgage. Ha! Why? At 5.75%, I'd be better off paying toward student loan debt. It's simple math, so it surprises me that "services" like this can even exist.
