    "Acceleration Alley: Developing an Honest & Transparent Online Course on a Topic of Options Trading"

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    I'm glad you didn't perceive it as a personal attack or intentionally malicious -- it was genuinely meant to be helpful criticism and I was more than open to being wrong. Do you have an eject button threshold? A point where you would decide that the need just isn't there and your time is better...

    Should I go to college?

    INTRO 
    I used to work at a college and I would get asked this all of the time. 95% of the time the answer is no. If you believe in your ability to navigate the Fastlane, then a college degree is effectively putting that plan 4 years behind. Some might argue that you could follow Fastlane pursuits while...

    "Acceleration Alley: Developing an Honest & Transparent Online Course on a Topic of Options Trading"

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    To expand on the perception bit: I was marketing a product that I knew was valuable and I knew that I was an expert on it. The problem was that to the people I was cold-emailing, I was just another faceless, internet schmuck trying to make a quick buck. I had a colleague who mentioned an...

    "Acceleration Alley: Developing an Honest & Transparent Online Course on a Topic of Options Trading"

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    I appreciate your response. For the purposes of a fair and open discussion, it's worth noting that I am not your target audience because I could not care any less about active trading strategies. However, my previous criticism was based on the hypothetical premise of someone who is interested...

    Made a website.. now what?

    MARKETING 
    So your site basically tells men who live a sedentary lifestyle that it's unhealthy? Isn't that pretty obvious? What specifically are men supposed to gain by coming to your website? Side note: I enjoy the back-end web development side of things more but I love seeing how amazing a website can...

    "Acceleration Alley: Developing an Honest & Transparent Online Course on a Topic of Options Trading"

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    It sounds like you're creating a course on something you barely know anything about. What is your experience and overall profit in options trading? If my perception of your experience is mistaken, then I'd suggest one way you could improve this course's marketing is "proving" why anyone should...

    After years of lurking, finally an introduction

    INTRO 
    It hasn't worked yet but thanks. To be fair, I didn't grind as hard as I should have while I was working entirely from home. I got way too lazy and comfortable -- I even realized it in the middle of it and didn't do anything about it. I'm all for responsibility and accountability so while a very...

    100%. It's just frustrating for now. I've been reaching out to friends for any referral hookups to hasten the process.

    After years of lurking, finally an introduction

    INTRO 
    As you can tell from my username, my name is Jon (short for Jonathon). I joined the forum years ago but only responded to a few posts without ever introducing myself. I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible because it's partially a rant/venting. Some quick background about me: I have...

    If someone offered you a CEO job for millions, would you take it?

    HOT! CHAT 
    In my current situation, I would have to say yes. I am currently in a 9-5 job and if the Fastlane is a literal lane on the highway (as opposed to walking, bicycling, etc.), then am I still opening the garage door. Fortune 500 CEOs easily make at least $1m per month so to say no because it is a...

    I'd prefer something outdoors but that works for me. If it's cool with everyone else, earlier works better for me than later. By the way, thanks for taking the imitative to set this all up!
