    The 30-Day "Bigger Than You" Challenge

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    I agree 100%. Even if all you have is a simple Wordpress website, there are still lots of people working for you to make it "bigger than you" (even if you don't realize it): the hosting company employees monitoring uptime and keeping your website online Wordpress theme/plugin developers...

    Tell Me I'm Wrong - Crypto Simplicity

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    It is a very simple plan, but it is not a business - it is a gamble. If you do this and lose everything, you will be very sorry. Even if it works out and you become a millionaire, is that really how you want to achieve it? You didn't build a business or help anyone - you just bought low and...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    No need to get jealous. Just declare yourself the Uber of Lawn Care, get yourself some of that sweet, sweet venture capital, and raise your prices. When your customers complain, tell them the increase is transitory.

    Need some business ideas! :)

    HOT! IDEA 
    I forgot about this thread on the forum - very long but excellent ideas and execution here: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/from-0-to-240-000-per-year-profit-in-18-months-acquisition-entrepreneurship.90814/page-14#post-887771 The OP on that thread did remote IT consulting to...

    What do you do to take breaks using Pomodoro or time block ?

    MINDSET 
    I work for 30 minute blocks and then do 5 exercises for about a minute each. Jumping jacks, pushups, curls, etc. Just enough to get away from the desk and get the blood pumping, but not enough to be really distracting.

    Ideas for blog name? How do you find good names for you website/project?

    IDEA 
    Leandomainsearch. Type in your keyword and it will give you domains containing that keyword that are available. Pick out some prefixes and suffixes that you may not have thought of, and try some different combinations to see what is available.

    Rejected from one of the worst colleges in my state

    EXECUTION 
    Don't worry about it. It's one rejection. When Stephen King first started writing, he nailed his rejection letters to his bedroom wall. The letters got so heavy that the nail fell off the wall. He replaced the nail with a railroad spike and kept writing. Don't give up. This rejection can...

    Losers vs Winners

    MINDSET 
    Nice list @KenDunlop You missed a big one though: "finds excuses" vs. "finds solutions".

    It's not your responsibility, but it's still your problem

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Well said @Johnny boy. I think there is a hidden silver lining. I am actually thrilled that people are so unreliable in general. It means that most of them have no chance against me in business - now or ever. If they can't show up to a job or interview on time, how are they going to build a...

    Am I trying to water an idea for a need that doesn't exist?

    IDEA 
    Well put @mdot . I think Darwin said something like "it is not the strongest that survive, but those that can adapt and evolve." Best of luck and keep moving forward.

    Am I trying to water an idea for a need that doesn't exist?

    IDEA 
    Can you pivot a little bit? Forget the wannabe weekend warrior gardeners. Go after a market that is committed to keeping their plants alive - and will spend money to do it. For example, take someone who has already paid $1000 or more for a greenhouse. He is dead serious about growing, and...

    If You Are Just Starting A Blog, Target Keywords With KD 0

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is good advice - I made the same mistake. Most people will continue to ignore low-competition keywords (making them easier for you to win). They want to hit a home run with one article published once and get lucky (event), rather than hitting a single every day by writing consistently...

    Implications of Google Trends for my Website/Business

    MARKETING 
    @Kid is right - the numbers are relative. Think in percentages. The 100 is 100% - that day represents the highest search volume has ever been for that term. The 50 means 50%, or half as much traffic as the highest day. For example, if it got 1000 searches on Monday and 500 searches on...

    My first blog.... any feedbakck would be great

    Including the timeline is a good idea. Can you add an example to show specific dates? Like if I start the process on July 1, when do I move in to my new house? Also, can you give more details on the timeline? When it takes longer, why is that the case? What are the common delays? That...

    Is my blog ready to monetize?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I should have been more specific about that. Those figures are the number of sessions per month each ad network requires to qualify. A session is one person visiting the site, and one session can have multiple page views. You are at 200 page views per day (about 6k per month). I'm not sure...

    Is my blog ready to monetize?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I waited to get into an ad network, which does ad placements for me. However, these are the highest to lowest revenue ad types for me: In-content Adhesion (sticky ad at the bottom of the page) Sidebar sticky (on sidebar, moves down as you scroll down the page) Video (in bottom right corner on...

    Is my blog ready to monetize?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Congrats on the work you have done so far. 110 posts is a lot of work. Go into Google Analytics and see what your top 5 to 10 highest traffic blog posts are. Out of those articles, can you think of any product or service that would help someone searching for one of those topics? That way, at...

    Any ideas or suggestions on how to start a business working from home?

    IDEA 
    Is there a recurring problem you have seen that prevents RE sales from going through? For example: lingering odors from smokers mold/pest/foundation/roof issues found during inspection Can you help people to solve one of those problems before they lose time and money? If so, all you would...

    [FEEDBACK NEEDED] Business Idea: Content Repurposing Service

    IDEA 
    Good point - I don't think newbies would pay for this. If they aren't making money from blogging yet, why pay for content repurposing? There are tools you can use to find approximate site traffic, but there are also ways to make revenue estimates. For example, check at the bottom of a page on...
