    What do you call an entrepreneur who lives in a castle?

    From what little I have seen ... I think the "Start-Up Castle" (concept) is a great idea. Surround yourself with like minded people ... who are committed to success ... who are committed to avoiding the destructive habits that keep people from reaching their goals ... who hold each other...

    Are You Holding A Full-Time Job While Still Working On Your Fastlane Business?

    MINDSET 
    I think the motivational challenge has less to do with whether you work a full time job ... as it does your overall level of comfort and enjoyment. If you enjoy what you do ... get paid well for doing what you do ... and live a comfortable lifestyle ... finding the motivation to toil away ...

    Do you rent or own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Own ... for wealth protection. Rent ... for wealth acquisition. Mobility is important. Plus ... the consequence of defaulting on a mortgage ... versus defaulting on your rent ... is not even close. Don't pay your rent ... lose your security deposit. No big deal. Allow your home to go into...

    [Idea] Find out what visitors think about your site almost in seconds. Your thoughts?

    IDEA 
    I think it is a promising idea. I like it. Adobe Acrobat uses a very similar feature on PDF documents (pop-up notes). Good collaboration tool. Might want to look at that for (some) inspiration. Making sure the tool is manageable and user friendly will be a top priority. Put yourself in...

    I don't think anyone here would argue against that ... what difference does any of our opinions matter if the market thinks otherwise ...? But I believe the O.P. was seeking our opinions ... is this an idea worth pursuing ...? Is this something I should invest my time and money in ...? Or...

    No ... I wouldn't. Because if he lacks strong credibility ... I wouldn't give him the opportunity in the first place. If MJ says something ... and the OP says the exact same thing ... word for word ... I will give what MJ said FAR more credibility ... than what the OP said. Because I trust...

    There is plenty of "need" ... for ketchup ... for gasoline ... for bread ... for ice cream ... you name it. The question is not whether there is a need ... the real question is whether there is an "unmet" need ... or whether he brings some "unique" value to the table ... that people are willing...

    I agree. Don't listen to the doubters. Ignore the commandment of need. Ignore the commandment of entry. Forget about having a USP. Pour your heart, soul and money into this crash and burn venture ... and go for it!

    That's a big if ... one "new" thing ... that (actually) helps me out ... "every" day ...? That is one hell of a high standard. I subscribe to high value feeds ... that come close to that standard ... but I don't pay for them. Its just high quality content designed to entice me into...

    I'm skeptical ... Would I pay for something like this ...? Maybe ... if the person providing the service was named "Tim Ferriss" or "Dan Kennedy" or 'MJ DeMarco" ... Otherwise ... Nope. For me ... the value would come from knowing that the person providing the service was known ... and...

    Starting vs. joining an MLM company

    EXECUTION 
    I gave some thought to STARTING a MLM company not that long ago ... or (at the very least) incorporating some of its principles into my affiliate program. But ... after reviewing the potential legal problems that could arise after the fact ... as the states and the federal government try to...

    My Rap Boot Camp Business

    EXECUTION 
    Really ...? Well ... if I had to choose between learning rap from a white guy ... or taking country western lessons from a Chinese immigrant ... man ... tough call. Well ... suffice to say ... the upward hill ... just got a little higher. Guess it just is what it is.

    My Rap Boot Camp Business

    EXECUTION 
    Music is one of the worst industries on the planet. Sure ... there are a "few" people making money on it ... just as there are a "few" people making money playing professional basketball ... But 99% of the people playing basketball ... like 99% of people in the music business ... ain't...

    Alright ... here's an idea for ya (that just might work): "Rappin for Whitey" "Inner city brothas from the hood teaching upper middle class white kids how to rap." I'm dead serious. Great marketing and media possibilities ... affluent target demographic ... You could show a video of a dorky...

    Just so you know ... Even if you were targeting a more affluent demographic ... and teaching them "how to golf" ... unless you were a retired PGA Champion ... I'd say the exact same thing. Take it behind the barn ... and shoot it. There are some things ... that can require celebrity and...

    My Rap Boot Camp Business

    EXECUTION 
    The question is not "do I have something to teach" .... the question is ... whether the people visiting your site ... will pay money for it ... and if so ... how much. If you are catering to a cash strapped demographic ... teaching them something they can learn to do for free ... good luck...

    EXECUTION 
    Teaching people to Rap ...? Take this idea behind the barn ... and shoot it. Seriously. Unless your name is Flavor Flav or Chuck D ... this is insane. Your target demographic is B-R-O-K-E. As in "No Money Whatsoever." Commandment of need ...? Fail. Commandment of entry ...? Fail...
