    Great bootstrapping thread - how to create money.

    HOT! 
    Actually in the United States you cannot purchase a car with the intention of "flipping" or profiting from it. Not even one without a dealers license. Yes I still do it, yes I don't care lol. Just figured I would chime in on this. You cannot purchase a vehicle with the sole intention of making...

    Have an idea. have no idea where to go with it. Kind of

    IDEA 
    Your sweating the pennies bud. Whats $1000.00? I understand the reasoning. I can do it why not do it. Time. Thats why. You might miss out on this if you spend 6 months trying to figure out a way to save $1000.00. Take a sheet of paper and describe to the T what you want your product to be. Then...

    First Fastlane Venture: Service based startup

    EXECUTION 
    When you say service based, do you mean similar to lawn service or an online service based company like MJs Limo website? If you mean in-person service that you provide for people at there home, I disagree with setting up a .com first. You need to get supplies before you do anything. We'll use a...

    Good idea gone bad

    IDEA 
    Have you tried making throw away emails? Are you contacting them via email or text messaging? If its through email, I defiantly suggest making a throw away email. There are also programs to change your I.P. Address but I am not 100% sure on the legality of that or anything of that nature. Just a...

    Discount cards, why is no one doing it?

    There is a card like this that local High School sport teams and clubs as well as the younger clubs like Boy Scouts sell. I think what the issue with doing this is, is why would the company discount there rates for a small number. You have to think big with this. The company will want royalties...

    Are you phsically preforming service or just managing it? Could you outsource the work of managing/running the company and still have a comfortable marg? Would profit be over 20%? If so thats what I would do is let it ride. Have that fund something else your passionate about while still making...

    What if this owner of the MMA studio says no? Then what? What is the plan then? I love the enthusiasm, but I think you are truly biting off a big piece. I'm not saying this cannot be managed, however you have some hefty tasks before you. Blue prints of expanding the MMA business? Shouldn't that...

    How'd the goal go? Did you accomplish it? Today is almost over. How many products do you have? Are you using professional images or did you snap them yourself? Manufacturer images? Still skeptical, but I'm cheering you on. What are your moves that are getting you closer to the 2-3k month in...

    I think your reading my post out of context, or maybe I just wasn't clear. Where I was heading was "is the MMA job for glory or fun" if so what is he sacrificing for the glory and fun. If hes making all he can make per hour compared to other jobs in his area then by all means keep at it, if he's...

    What Im saying is, is the job actually worth it or is the job a "glory" job? Is he working 30 hours a week for 8.50 an hour but gets to say I'm a badass MMA trainer? If so there are plenty of other less glorious jobs that you can walk in making more (deliver pizza, server, bartender other tipped...

    Oh man, here we go... -2-3 months on an Ebay business is not nearly enough time. What kind of margins are you making? -MMA job- Do your goals involve teaching MMA? If not then why stay there? 30hrs a week? Are they paying you some ridiculous amount of money for what you do? +$20.00-$30.00 an...

    Brain dump - What's stopping me!

    MINDSET 
    What I would focus on at this point if I were you, being that you appear to have a lack in confidence at this point, would be start something easy. I'm not saying start something that you think you will not have to work at or make "easy money", but start something that has relatively low start...

    My Grandmother was this way. I originally went to school for Mechanical Engineering. After 3 semesters I dropped out. My girlfriend made fun of me, my Grandmother cried and offered to pay my way if I would go back. After I had a plan of execution (A real one) I sat down and talked with them...

    Facebook Local Ads

    MARKETING 
    I don't have any experience in Facebook Ads but let me add my .02 as a consumer. Facebook Ads I think would me more of a product oriented basis then a service. It never hurts to try. I would get fliers/ cards printed up. 5k would cost less then $150.00. Leave them everywhere, and I mean...
