    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    My thinking was consumer first, monetization via the shops second.

    What is your project? I'm sure others would be interested in learning what you're doing.

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    @DrkSide - I forgot the fundamental reason why I am creating this. You mentioned that a simple search could yield the same results as what I'm building. The whole premise is that I can never find quality results via a simple web search. That's the "need" in my equation! Wasn't sure if you...

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    Ok, back it up. Let me take it back to basics and my absolute original idea. Originally (pre-thread and pre-FLM explanation of MJ's limo site structure), my concept was as follows: 1. Create a database of service providers. 2. Offer this database to the consumer in EXTREMELY specific...

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    Codo - I see what you're saying, I think. So they pay PER LEAD, regardless of a service sold or not sold? In essence, could that not be double dipping - where I'm actually getting paid multiple times on one single lead? Conversely, would a $3/lead fee be universal? A lead that ended in a $40...

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    I agree with that. I never intended to have the consumer pay for referrals to shops. I apologize if I wasn't clear - the shops would either pay a referral fee, or a subscription - either monthly or yearly. I think the subscription offers the best value for my client (the shop) and either way...

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the input! I just don't see a per- referral fee turning in to a reliable recurring income, particularly if I eliminate the quick cheap job type shops. I also feel that by doing a subscription based model, my clients would realize a lower customer acquisition cost. In regards to your...

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    Perhaps I'm posting this a little preemptively, but I want to include my development process through to going live and, if all goes as planned, going from the curb (sidewalk/slowlane) to the fast lane. Every time I search for a new mechanic or body shop, I get the google maps listings, then...

    The biggest lie that you believed for most of your life?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Haters are the ones that fuel my desire to succeed. That McDonalds worker that scoffs at your squeaky brakes while his rusting Civic lay 25 feet away, begging for replacement. My favorite has always been "do what you love. You can't fail if you're passionate about it!" Yeah, ok...so that's...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Finally finished reading it about 38 seconds ago!!!! That's right, I wanted to finish before midnight, so I locked myself in my car! I need a freakin' audiobook! @MJ DeMarco , thank you for writing this thing! It isn't just about the Fastlane, a lot of it applies to life in general.

    Thanks for the inspirational words, Linor! I have terrible ADHD, so my son playing with his toys TOTALLY slows down my reading, so I've been getting to work 1 1/2 hours early to read a bunch before starting my slave duties! I'm at page 278 so I should be finished by the end of lunch tomorrow...

    Why Do You Want the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    Build a business based on this post alone! I haven't seen any self-help or self-improvement systems that preach these points since that guy from the 80's!

    New guy, changing lanes!

    INTRO 
    Well, I work in the auto body industry, but being a public forum (this portion, at least) I would rather keep that discrete for now. I make $65k/year base, plus overtime. THAT is why. The money is more than enough to support my family, but at the cost of TIME. When can you consider yourself...

    Thanks, Smarty, for your thoughts! Maybe delusional, will reconsider. But they're just so cheap! MJ, thanks for the Welcome, as well as this Fastlane brand.

    Is this Fastlane?

    Fastlane, I say yes. Automated? Not so much. The more humans are involved, the more issues may occur, the more you have to be personally involved.

    INTRO 
    There are many variations that are easily created using the core niche that I've chosen, so I would rather redirect than deal with copycats at some point later. Just a small, possibly delusional sense of security for myself.

    Good morning, afternoon, evening, twilight, whatever it is where you live! My name is Jeff, I'll be 30 tomorrow, and I'm sick of my life! I've been stuck on the sidewalk since birth, learning irresponsible money management skills the entire way. It sounds like I'm not taking responsibility for...
