    How a guy sold his company for $1 Billion Dollars

    EXECUTION 
    For fun, let's compare apples to oranges: To win the powerball lottery (worth around 50% of 1 billion) Odds are: 1 in 175 million. To get a business to 1 billion (twice as much as the highest lottery) Odds are: 1 in 1.67 Million. What if we only looked at business that have been around for...

    Where did you begin?

    I remember vividly where it began for me. I was in the 7th grade. It was swimming day for my gym class, but I forgot my swimming suit. I can still remember the sticky muggy air and chlorine smell that was overly strong. Bored, my friend Adam (who also forgot his swimming suit) asks me what I...

    I lost 70 Thousand in Advertising...

    INTRO 
    Ques: Did my experience (losing so much cash upfront) hold me back from scaling quicker? ANS: No not really. Why? Because the money wasn't the key to scaling the business. The key was getting infront of my market. If you remember from my numbers above; I generated a whole 2 sales totaling...

    I'll tell you a simple secret to SEO. But first... we need to address the comment about "All I hear about SEO is blog more, create content." If you hear that advice from someone; please respond to that person with the following: 1) Lace up your steel toed boots 2) Kick the person that told...

    You Might Be a "Slowlaner" if...

    SLOWLANE 
    Sometimes as you work to get to the Fastlane you might wonder if you're really on the right track or not. This post is a "Jeff Foxy" one-liner approach to identify if you're a "Redneck" ahh hem (clears throat) "Slowlaner." We all have some "Slowlaner" blood. This is not intended to poke fun...

    You won't. You know how I know? You're too smart. Sure, they'll be more failures but as long as you don't keep repeating them you will win. Fail fast, move on. Personally, the idea of working for the man in a job is more scary that failing in business. I've seen too many people dedicate...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it, loved it and probably your #1 salesman. Anytime someone asks me how to succeed in business I now just refer them to your book. Well done. My only hang-up is that you should have published it 10 years ago.

    Millionaire By 25 Documentary

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    lol, I also had the goal to retire by 25. Yep, my priorities were mixed up too. (What I really meant was I didn't want to work and just want to travel the world.) There's some danger in being intoxicated by a dollar amount. Goals are great, but I've learned that hard dollar goals usually...

    I lost 70 Thousand in Advertising...

    INTRO 
    That's a great question. To answer I need to layout my mindset so you can see how my mindset changed. They say "Go Big or Go Home!" ... unfortunately that has nothing to do with the money you spend. But for me I somehow thought that the more money I threw "into" (pronouced "taken from") the...

    I lost 70 Thousand in Advertising...

    INTRO 
    How did I get the money to start the business? I figured that question would get brought up eventually. I think its fair game, so why not just explain how I got the money in the first place. If you're thinking I got a business loan; you're wrong. If you're thinking I used credit cards...

    INTRO 
    Agreed on that. I was lucky to be in a position to pay the tuition. The school of hard knocks seems to have the highest fees; but best professors. ;) Funny enough... usually the people around us with the highest education are also the ones without money. Education doesn't equal money, nor...

    INTRO 
    Don't worry, you'll hear plenty about my thoughts on that. I'm pretty passionate about SEO. Without sounding too arrogant; I'm confident I could rank for any keyword. One of my fastlane businesses caters to SEO companies. ... sorta like the guy who was manufacturing shovels and picks during...

    Looking for $200.000 investment

    Me too. No offense to the OP-- but its always interesting when people throw out numbers like that. ... would be insighful to see how he thinks the money would help. (IMO, money can hurt a new business more than help-- it can lead to laziness and entitlement)

    INTRO 
    We all have stories. Here's mine: 8 Years ago I lost $77,310 dollars in advertising before I learned the fastlane. What happened? Simple; I followed the advice I learned in college about marketing and created what I thought was a winning marketing campaign. The Advertising Breakdown...
