    How does this make sense?

    HOT! 
    In defense of some kids, in particular those who are less fortuntate, AP classes may not actually be available in their schools. I know when I was in high school, we only had a handful of AP classes. However, by the time I left, they were adding many more, so who knows maybe I'm wrong about...

    Huh, I think you're misunderstanding what I tried (but obviously) failed to say. I'm saying we need to stop looking at China, and thinking, "OMG, they study for 10 hours a day?!! We NEED to do that tooo!!!!!!!!!!!" Seriously, "Johnny" can barely count correctly, and yet he's taking Calculus. My...

    #1 Simple Fact to remember

    Preach! The difficulty is in remembering and more importantly believing in this fact. If more people knew, no, believed this who knows what our world would become.

    How does this make sense?

    I honestly think this approach is one of the problems. It just reeks of "keeping up with the joneses." All of this testing we have doesn't seem to be having the desired effect, in fact it might just be producing the oppposite! Instead of trying to "keep up" with the rest of the world, I think...

    Day 14: Complete! Tried using the free priority mail box, but didn't quite work out because I had my shipment set to media mail. Ended up paying about $6 dollars out of pocket to ship it. Lesson Learned: Pay attention to what you set the shipment as, if you want to use one of those...

    Day 11: Complete! Made my first 2 shippings today. I printed off and paid Paypal for the two labels, then also bought two boxes to ship the items in. Next shipment, I'm just going to buy a box, write the label myself, and see how much that amount comes to, in order to see which option is...

    Creating a Reddit/Digg Clone Site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Can the code of Reddit or Digg be looked at? I ask because I want to create a website that allows people to vote information up onto the front page, but I have no clue as how to figure something like that out.

    How Do You Get Out Of A Rut?

    Let's use fanfiction.net as the example. As an outsider looking in, it appears to hit all of the CENTS requirements of being a fastlane business. It's clearly been automated, so it probably has been divorced from the founder's time. If Wikipedia is to be trusted, the site has 2.2 users meaning...

    Day 8: Complete! No new listing. I realized that I'm going to have to just wait out the limit because I don't want to sell anything else. Also, sold my first item tonight! Now, I just have to wait for the guy to send the payment, and I'll be shipping the item to him on what will probably be...

    How Do You Get Out Of A Rut?

    My plan was/is to use word of mouth. Get one person and provide such wonder service that they can't help but to tell other people about it, building up my momentum like the snowball effect.

    How Do You Get Out Of A Rut?

    Well, I really like reading fanfiction, but I hate those stupid ads that show up on the site. I'll be reading a story when the site clicks over to a retarded ad, "You're the 1000th viewer... YOU'VE JUST WON AN IPAD!!" Get the f**ck out with that nonsense! I'd love to create a fanfiction website...

    How Do You Get Out Of A Rut?

    I've been thinking about what my fastlane business could be on and off for a good while now. My problem is my mind seems to just be running in circles. All I can seem to think of are freebie type businesses, where the service is "free" and makes it's money through advertisement, think: Google...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Have you tried using eBay? I ask because that's what I'm using right now, but have been thinking about moving on to Craigslist. I'm just not sure if it'll be worth it though because while there aren't any fees, you do still have to pay for gas.

    Day 7: Complete! Seventh Listing Done! Nothing new to report really. Because of what happened yesterday, I may have to change up how I do this 30 day challenge because I'm not entirely sure I'll have enough stuff to continue making listings for the next 23 days, but we'll see. Also, I...

    Learn to Program vs Outsourcing

    Actually, I think it's in every entrepreneur's best interest to know basic Accounting and have an idea of law. Double entry accounting (in its base form) is actually quite easy, and there's no reason you can't learn about it. Which is why so many people get taken advantage of... because they...

    Kak and gfrye13, thanks! Based on what both of you have said, I've decided to hold off on trying to do international shipping for now, and as such declined his offer.
