    Would You Open This?

    I watched the first 30 seconds of your video. Just send a handwritten letter in a FedEx envelope.

    Can a Fastlane system be created in a month?

    @Soder - The biggest mistake you can make as an entrepreneur is wasting ten years of your life searching for that one system that will make you rich in one month. Instead, start with the system that you're confident will make your incredibly rich in ten years, and then try to cut down that time...

    Can a Fastlane system be created in a month?

    It's incredibly difficult. If it wasn't, then like @Mattie says, we'd all be billionaires now. As for your examples, @Johnny boy is the man, and one of the few younger people that I'm excited for on this forum. However, to get to where he is, it didn't take him a month. It took him a much...

    Can a Fastlane system be created in a month?

    Lol. I actually read that article and forgot about it. Some good nuggets in there: “Success can actually be bad, and can teach you the wrong things,” he says. “I was thinking about ideas that would get attention instead of provide value.” In future examples for yourself, think about his...

    Can a Fastlane system be created in a month?

    The guy who made the million dollar homepage should be shot and killed. This is the absolute dumbest and worst example that gets brought up time and time again. It is a false example of value creation, displays no semblance to a real business, and has a grand total of zero processes that are...

    Girlfriend pregnant on execution

    HOT! 
    I know a guy worth half a billion that had a kid when he was 19... There's no excuses. As for the woman, don't marry her if you don't want to, but take care of the kid. You brought the kid into the world, they didn't ask to be brought in. Use the kid as motivation. Work your a$$ off to give...

    Brief intro from BB13

    INTRO 
    I'm not a parent, don't spend much time around kids, am not a woman, and have no industry experience. All of that combined puts me at a perceived disadvantage. My guess is that women are the largest buyers of baby products, so it's beneficial to understand how they think - specifically mothers...

    I am Mark Henry.

    INTRO 
    Mark, I'm sure you're a nice guy, but statements like this do you a disservice. You're not Alibaba. Your website has 23 suppliers in the bathroom space. I am a potential user of your site, and when I see you claiming to be "the world's leading", click through and see that's nowhere near true...

    Forum Self-Promotion Opp: Offers, Links, Your Business, More! (July W2)

    SELF-PROMOTION 
    I don't think that's what members think. The lower sales are likely a result of a much smaller audience. Think about your first two books: Proven China Sourcing Labels that Exploit Both of these books are perfect at targeting individuals that have not yet started a business, but are eager...

    Brief intro from BB13

    INTRO 
    One space I'd love to get into, but have no qualifications for are baby products. Huge market with constant opportunities for selling something new and innovative. Make sure to keep a look out for opportunities as you venture into motherhood. Congrats on the kid, and welcome to the forum.

    Advice from the Experienced / Real Pro's?

    EXECUTION 
    You're going about this backwards. Why do you have plans for a tax advisor? You don't even make money. Step 1: Find a market need that you've validated. Step 2: Fill that need (deliver value in the form of a product or service). Step 3: Get paid. Step 4: Do all the lawyer and incorporation...

    Estimated Cost Of Importing Large And Heavy Items From China

    SOURCING

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag#Operation_Northwoods If our government was willing to do that, then I have little doubt they were and are willing to execute on many other politically profitable actions - especially the ones that don't cause direct harm (aliens). Here's what they were...

    They're selling what???

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't see a problem with the product. It's a bonfire for lazy people. Pay $15. Get 1.5 hours of enjoyment. None of the inconvenience that comes with normal bonfires -- looking for logs, making sure they're dry, setting everything up, getting something to start the fire, etc. Put down the...

    Living in a van down by the river

    HOT! 
    If you're actually doing it for your business, then do it. If you're doing it because you like the idea of living in a van, then don't. The mindset in the first scenario will allow you to succeed. The mindset in the second scenario will lead you to being a mediocre low paid bum.

    17 and looking to execute my first idea of value. not sure how.

    IDEA 
    Your idea will not last the 10 years it takes you to get a stable income. If that's your plan for your idea, then it's dead. Not going to work. Your biggest problem though is your lack of ability and confidence to execute (likely do to a lack of ability). It sounds like you don't know how...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I'd like to expand by saying that I do believe aliens exist, but not in the way that is being presented to us: UFO's, etc. I also don't think it's a concern that will at any point occur in our lifetimes. There's a reason why all the "footage" of "aliens" is pixelated and worthless. Until we...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Aliens are not here. They might exist, but not here, and not in the form we think of them. There's too many parties incentivized to push the narrative that aliens exist. The biggest being the government and media: Government: If you believe aliens exist, then you're more likely to approve of...
