    No ... we'll stay in Phoenix during the conference. Not going to commute back and forth each and every day. That would be nuts.

    4.5 hours ... piece of cake. Plus ... you're driving through real beautiful country. Easy. Granted ... it's a little longer if you want to make some scenic detours ... and I am sure we will be doing plenty of that ... but even so ... driving from Vegas to Phoenix is a piece of cake...

    2015 Fastlane Meetup - Extensions, Rooms, Etc..

    MEETUPS 
    We decided to fly in and out of Vegas ... spend the week in Vegas ... drive to Scottsdale for the conference ... then head back up to LVNV ... via Sedona or the Grand Canyon. I mean ... if we can drop a mere $75 bucks a night ... staying at Paris Las Vegas ... or the Luxor ... or the LVNV Hard...

    You may be right ... and if so ... great. I am not familiar with his work. I'm just saying ... in this article ... he lost the reader. If there was a point to his article ... beyond what I read in the first two minutes ... he should have gotten to it sooner.

    12 minute read ...? I don't think so. If it takes 12 minutes to convey your blog post's message ... it had better be Pulitzer prize material. Way too long. When writing ... you have to get the readers attention ... and then KEEP their attention. This article did not do that ... not for me...

    Appreciate the share ... but I can't say the article impressed me. I don't agree with the authors contention ... that you should live your life "not giving a F*ck" about anyone else. Most people who truly don't give a F*ck ... tend to be skid row losers. You have to give a F*ck ... about a...

    Consulting business - thoughts?

    HOT! 
    That's like saying ... "Dude ... selling hambugers is totally fastlane. McDonalds has sold billions of em. There is a LOT of demand for hamburgers. " I don't think so. 9 times out of 10 ... "consultant" ... is just a polite way of saying "unemployed." That is what comes to mind when someone...

    A consulting business ... teaching personal finance ...? Sounds slowlane to me.

    [RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Just one problem ... that (metaphorical) 99% ... have the ability to vote. If you do not have adequate social security programs in place ... guess whose taxes get jacked through the roof ...? Yep. The masses align against the rich. Political instability and class warfare results. So you...

    What's in a name?

    Two thoughts ... Yes ... at least to some extent ... the other site will be the residual beneficiary. But ... from a lawyers standpoint ... consider: Is the domain name also the name of their brand ...? If so ... you might run into some trademark problems ... especially if you are in the...

    Question for people who like to cut ties

    MINDSET 
    Here's a more "colorful" example: You want to date a hot chick. Just one problem: You're 100 pounds overweight and broke. Good luck with that. If you want her to be interested in you ... you had better hit the gym hard ... make the big bucks ... or both. Might not be overnight ... but if...

    Question for people who like to cut ties

    MINDSET 
    Aristotle explained friendship as an exchange between equals. The exchange need not be like in kind ... but there must be an exchange. Imbalanced relationships tend not to sustain. So to your question ... do I cut ties ...? I suppose I do. But I think (more accurately) I just don't make...

    Personal Social Media... A Disease.

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    One last point ... sharing bits and pieces of your personal life on FB is a good way to build trust and foster a sense of familiarity. It humanizes you. It transforms you from "Attorney Z" ... to "my friend Z" ... and if you don't think that adds value ... you're nuts. There's an old business...

    Personal Social Media... A Disease.

    I'm with MJ. FB is just something I use for business and networking. The only people in my (personal) news feed are MJ .. Tim Ferriss ... family ... and a few close friends. That's it. And I generally only browse the feed while walking on a treadmill. Might as well multitask. But the...

    How many of you use adblock?

    Seems odds to me that "entrepreneurs" would hate ads. Seems somewhat ironic. After all ... are WE not part of that very same machine ...? We run all sorts of ads ... all the time. When you run an ad for YOUR business ... do you think to yourself ... "Gee ... MY ad sure does SUCK. Lord knows...

    How many of you use adblock?

    I use adblock ... but for a completely different reason -- to see if my own ads (on my sites) are being blocked. If so ... I adjust what I am doing until Adblock no longer blocks my ads. Otherwise ... if what I see ... and what others sees ... are not one and the same ... well ... that can be...
