    How did you find your niche?

    If you want to see a great example of a niche, check out @biophase and his ghillie suits. Like quite a few members here, I had no idea what a "ghillie suit" was until I read his thread, but that didn't stop him from creating a successful business for those who knew! It worked so well, in fact...

    How did you find your niche?

    There was definitely a process for me. I'm a hobbyist, and I have invested a lot of time and money into a few of them. I focused on one because I knew all of the major players (brands, manufacturers, etc.) for years, and I'm a great consumer. I know exactly what I want, what works, and what I...

    The Millionaire Fastlane, pocket edition. You could make a TMF Study Guide, or Spark Notes, and the message still wouldn't be concise and clear enough for some people. If anyone feels this way...Making money isn't their biggest problem.

    The real reason why you don't take action

    MINDSET 
    Thanks,@Vigilante @AndrewNC I really like your entertaining parable, and it reminds me of a conversation I had with a few people before I moved 6 months ago. I quit my job and decided to move because the environment I was in was prohibitive to achieving my dreams. People were genuinely...

    $500,000 revenue so far... Warning: Protect Your Idea

    IDEA 
    Solid advice - thanks for sharing! It's very difficult, but not impossible to scale alone. It's easy to make mistakes of ambition and forget to protect your idea in the midst of implementing big changes to your strategy. In your case: taking on another partner. Success is attractive, and you...

    Excitable people: How do you sleep?

    MINDSET 
    The less I have on my mind, the better. Insomnia has become a new problem for me in the last month, so I understand your frustration. I keep a notebook beside my bed. I write down anything that I think I "must do A.S.A.P." to eliminate the fear of forgetting it the next day. That fear is...

    How do you make 100$?

    Find people who are giving away free things. This includes, but is not limited to: family, friends, craigslist, etc. Clean the items up, and sell them on eBay or Craigslist. It's a good exercise for developing your copy writing skill and marketing charisma. You can also start with basic...

    Hey @SinisterLex great thread! Your success is inspiring, and I like how you tie the relevance of NLP and social training with your process. Are you still doing transcription? Edit: I re-read the second page. I see you're doing copy writing, not transcription. On oDesk, did you start with...

    Thoughts on the fastlane and college!

    EXECUTION RANT 
    The "fastlane" doesn't have a set of instructions for wealth generation--only a handful of principles that the author used to generate his wealth. As it turns out, the same principles have worked for others on this board. They're not required, only recommended. Some people prefer to go to a...

    Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.

    MINDSET RANT 
    I read nonfiction daily, and most of my book learning is related to business and engineering; I have an engineering background, so I like to keep it fresh. I read books to find solutions or learn skills, so my reading is often reactive for a problem that I'm having at the moment. The goal is to...
