    So Insiders, are the forums worth it? From what I've read, the Speedway forum is/was kind of dead.

    Do Extended Longevity Expectations Make the Slowlane More Palatable?

    SLOWLANE 
    Like everyone else is saying you won't get eighty years of "freedom" to enjoy. They'll merely lengthen the time people have to go to school and work a job. We're already seeing it now. Bachelor degrees = high school diplomas of yesteryear, more time spent in school just to get an entry level...

    Amazon To Charge Sales Tax In Many States

    MARKETING 
    Too true, this reminds me of my grandfather and how he laments the loss of jobs, and what I like to do is ask him how he feels about the lost of the horse and buggy thanks to those dambable cars?! Also, one of the biggest advantages of B&M businesses is that they have the physical product...

    How I Went Wrong With Planning

    So, I've literally been spending months (years?) trying to create the perfect system to take action. Yup, that's right a system to take action. And the thing is there's nothing wrong with having a system, in fact they're quite effective. The problem for me was/is I haven't taken any ACTION to...

    A Question About Copyright

    PUBLISHING 
    How does it work then if you want to keep it as-is like the story of Snow White, you want to turn it into an ebook to sell, would it need to be rewritten?

    A Question About Copyright

    PUBLISHING 
    How do you copyright something that is out of copyright, and therefore free to be used by anyone? For example, how was Walt Disney able to copyright the movies Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, etc. when these stories have been around for hundreds of years??

    Are There Any Authority Websites About Ebooks?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I want to research ebooks. So, I was wondering if anyone reccommends or knows any good websites that talk all about ebooks: how to write them, create the covers, market them, etc?

    I don't know your in-law but I can see how someone would turn down a weekend job to be able to spend more time with their kids.

    Is due diligence important?

    Lately, I've been kind of doing the opposite in that I'm specifically looking for business ideas that have already been executed and thus have competition. Why? Because it proves the idea in some fashion or form works. No wasting time with an iffy idea that may or may not work out. From there...

    eBay: A Question About Profit

    My worry isn't about what I'm currently selling. I knew going in that I would probably lose money because of my inexperience. I've honestly just been excited to see my stuff sell even when it's only been for a dollar or two. What's making me nervous is the thought of losing money on things I...

    eBay: A Question About Profit

    eBay: A Question About Profit

    Let's say I sell 3 items. One sells for $5, the second for $6, and the last one for $20. I underestimate how much it will cost to ship the item that sold for $5, and end up paying out of pocket $8 to ship it. Because of this, I've lost money on the $5 item. However, I do everthing "right" on the...

    Why does everyone want to get there so fast?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I've by and large (but not completely) got rid of deadlines for my goals. They just don't work for me. Instead what I do is put deadlines on the tasks I need to do, which has been much more effective and fun.

    eBay: A Question About Profit

    So, I've been selling some things on eBay, and I've noticed a few things. I've noticed that overall I do make a profit, but on specific items I'm taking a loss (a lot of which has to do with beginner mistakes). Is this normal? I ask because right now I'm just selling things I find around the...

    Anyone here use a Kindle or another e-reader device?

    Strangely enough, I still buy physical books even though I own a Kindle. It's probably completely psychological, but I just can't get myself to actually study/do serious reading with a Kindle. I have to have a physical book to do it. My Kindle gets used for entertainment or light reading.

    Starting a new job..how do I steal my current employers customer?

    How would you feel if one of your employees did this to you? It's one thing for former clients to hear great things about a new business (you), and decide to try you out. It's another thing entirely to steal business away from your former employer. I'd think long and hard about this. Is this...

    I know I'll get flamed, but exactly how much luck is involved?

    Why not do both? However, instead of aiming for the fastlane business, why don't you aim for a "small" business, something that can generate for you an extra 100 dollars a month. This way it (hopefully) won't take up too much time to allow you to study, and yet you can still get your toes wet...
