    Is it worth it to pay for someone to redo my resume?

    NOTABLE! 
    <- THIS. And...no. Why invest in someone else to create something that is within your grasp? If you want to revamp your resume then read, learn and do yourself. You'll learn fundamental skills that you're going to need if you want to start a business, so might as well start now. Think of it...

    HOT! 
    There are two camps suggesting improvements to the forum it would seem. 1) Software/Forum improvements and 2) Business/Mentorship needs. On the software side: ^^ This On the Business side: ^^ This (I get the anti-FB angle @MJDemarco..so don't flame the quote.) I see a big theme in the...

    Forum or thread to toss around ideas and get feedback?

    IDEA 
    I wouldn't say that it's frowned upon, but I think people are wary of recommending it because of the people who have had ideas and processes ripped off. It really is unfortunate too. Imagine if you could have an truly open and transparent forum to freely discuss all the operations and angles...

    How do you deal with stress?

    HEALTH 
    Agreed. In really bad situations where I can't clear this from my mind, I sit and rewrite my goals to help center myself again. Refocus on what you want your life to be and all the important long term things. Stresses are just obstacles to overcome on that path to greatness.

    Internet addiction

    MINDSET 
    I think you, and many posters, are missing the underlying issue. The issue that I see isn't 'wasting time online' but instead it's with your perception. You 'feel' that you are wasting your time even if you're educating yourself and being 'productive'. It implies that you have a feeling of...

    I'm leaving

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Sorry to be a ball-breaker but, stop making audacious and unrealistic goals. I'm not saying any of this to attack you personally (since I don't know you) so don't misconstrue any of my criticism in this post. All the things I'm saying relate to your mindset and lack of action. I get that...

    New business opportunity. Suggestion required

    EXECUTION 
    If it's a physical product can you create a 3D printed version to test how it fills the need and use it to shop around for manufacturers? Usually with physical products it takes several iterations to settle on a final design that will work in the marketplace. 3D printing is likely the best way...

    Can he do it? Who knows...Is he doing it? Yes.

    EXECUTION 
    Keep reminding yourself and your customers that it's only been 3 weeks. Building businesses and consumer relationships take time. Don't expect this to be viral as you're sorting out your process. Have you discussed with your customers what it would take to call this a 'success' in their view...

    P&G tried a similar thing with a toothbrush manufacturer, Ranir, when they tried to make private label heads that would mate to their rechargeable toothbrushes. They claimed that Ranir infringed on the design patent for the mating mechanism. They design their products to operate as a closed...

    Absentee Owner Business System

    INTRO 
    First, welcome to the forum. Second, ...where to start... No offense but at 22 I doubt that you're an expert at anything. You may think you are but thinking and being are two entirely different things; particularly when you're chasing businesses which will require different and diverse...

    The BIG BANG theory...

    MINDSET 
    An 'explosion' or 'explosive post' is an event. It's a slowlane expression of a desire. The ones to watch are those that smolder; that work away on a tiny spark. They nurture it, fan it and feed it until it starts to flame. Then they grow that little flame into a roaring fire. Those are the...

    2016 Fastlane Summit (Room Shares, Ticket Exchanges, Etc.)

    MEETUPS 
    I've been here for about a year and feel like I'm a regular contributor but I made another intro in preparation for the meetup. I didn't want @Vigilante hunting me down with <asskick mode>on</asskick mode>...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Have you tried this plug-in? https://wordpress.org/plugins/comprehensive-google-map-plugin/ You can map multiple markers in a Geo mashup and have info bubbles where you can post the event details. It may not get you 100% of the functionality you're looking for but it seems like a good start...

    My backstory...for the Fastlane Meetup 2016

    INTRO 
    Hey Fastlaners! Unlike some people (*cough* @Chitown *cough*) I've already created a formal intro when I joined. :P But it was just the usual generic...Hey, I'm from Toronto. I'm excited to be here and looking forward to learning for you all and giving back value where I can...blah...

    I'm looking forward to the Fastlane Meetup 2016...

    INTRO 
    Cool story Anthony. It almost excuses you for "I don't believe I ever formally introduced myself." after 461 posts. Seriously? WTF man?! ;) I guess I've got to post mine now too. Damn... Look forward to meeting up in Arizona.

    Crazy Cap Rates

    REAL ESTATE 
    There are a bunch of the big REITs unloading properties. It's all over WSJ and other business news outlets. I prefer to trust the conditions of your local market and not become overly preoccupied with what the industry heavyweights are up to.

    My dad is an entrepreneur, but wants me to go slowlane

    MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Can you make this fastlane? What's stopping you from approaching your father, learning his business, and applying principles others have laid out here to try and make it fastlane?

    Fastlane Is So Much Pressure

    HOT! 
    You want to know how to deal with the pressure? F*cking work harder! Once you really start working flat-out all-day, every day, and all-night, every night pressure turns into drive. You stop worrying about your fears that make you feel that pressure and instead you only see the opportunities...
