    Fastlaners! What are your methods to crushing the second half of the day?

    HEALTH 
    Eat/drink better food that gives you energy rather than make you sleepy. Eating small portions throughout the day rather than one large meal around lunchtime also helps. Also make sure your getting enough sleep.

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    That is why nobody wants to do it. It's not sexy, it's "vanilla". Everybody is running online right now, but these unsexy service businesses aren't going anywhere and are ripe full of potential, producing tons of millionaires every year because there's massive demand for it. A cool...

    Yeah sometimes you get hiccups and you'll transition to another company, but it's a lot less hiccups over employees and you don't have to have the licenses and knowledge to do the work. That company has dedicated their life to mastering that craft.

    There are some innovative solutions to the employee problem if you are good at marketing and can generate a large demand. Instead of hiring employees to work for you, hire highly reputable companies and give them so much work they will give you discounts... After the hurricane in Florida last...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Your success is dependent on yourself. That's how every business is. How are you going to provide a better product/service than your competitors. It's like that not only in the service industry, but also online. If you have another fastlaner in the local area, it's all on who executes better...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    This is so true in so many areas and so many services. The big companies don't give a fu** because it's ran by a bunch of minimum wage employees that hate their jobs. The small companies are mainly ran by workers with poor manners and communication skills, not business savvy entrepreneurs. So...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Everything is a regular job in the beginning, regardless of what it is. You have to put the work in it and once it's grown into a decent sized company that's stable and profitable, you hire people to run it for you and then you can do whatever the hell you want. You only have to check in on it...

    The Best Set and Forget Business/Investments over long term?

    I wouldn't recommend setting and forgetting any investment, regardless of how passive it is. I think solar farms has a lot to improve on, not solid investments as they stand now imo. There are much better options like stocks/commercial property for wealth preservation. Read TMF and...

    Optimistic, Personable Millennial Entrepreneur Looking for Growth

    INTRO 
    The biggest thing before even trying to help other people is to overcome the problem yourself. I think everybody has something that gives them anxiety. Someone told me to do something I'm afraid of every chance I can and I will grow so much as a person. For me to overcome it is just to not...

    How important is your credit score?

    It is a very dangerous tool to make moves with, especially when you don't have the cash to back it up. I racked up a decent sum in credit card debt making moves in the very early stages of my business when sales were almost non existent and it almost put the company under. The only thing I...

    MINDSET 
    I seen such a motivational post by @G_Alexander and wanted to post my own little story. I'm by no means at the point of just buying a lambo straight up in cash and not batting an eye, but that's not necessarily what an unscripted life is to me. Unscription to me, is being able to easily pay...

    How important is your credit score?

    A credit score is only important when you can't afford things you want/need. This is usually in the beginning stage of your journey when you don't have much f*** you money. If your score is okay and you have a decent income, then you shouldn't have problems getting things you can pay back in a...

    I just started dealing with these kinds of clients. I just raise my prices. If they are a headache, I charge them for every little thing they do to waste my time. 20% of your clients causes 80% of your headaches. If clients are constantly calling me everyday for free advice, I kindly let...

    Welcome to the forum. I think anxiety and depression is a pretty big issue with the up and coming generation, and how the health care industry is handling it is just making things worse via prescribing everyone a bunch of Xanax thinking it is actually helping them when it's just making it...
