    What's Happened to "Big Idea"?

    IDEA 
    I like the idea of an entrepreneurial show, but I'm not huge on Donny. I think some of his interviews like the one with the CEO of Sketchers was priceless. But I can definitely understand people's views of him being egoistical. I always thought the idea segments of up and coming ideas were...

    What is Your Heaven?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'd have to say going to my cousin's cabin in upstate New York and watching all the snow fall down like a winter wonderland. Then busting out the snowmobiles and tearing up some trails. I don't think I've ever enjoyed something so much. I also think being near the ocean is like heaven too. Not...

    Fast Food Business Systems

    I'm a little confused about your question. Are you looking into starting your own fast food business or are you looking to buy a franchise from an existing fast food restaurant? If you're interested in starting your own, you should definitely read "The E Myth." Michael Gerber basically...

    Lead Generation for a Specific Area

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey Joe. Those are both great strategies. My original idea was basically just to take the lead generation model and adjust it to fit my area. I think the entire "performance based" advertising method is new to most of the brick and mortar businesses in my area because most don't even have web...

    Starting a blog, advice needed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm thinking about starting a blog to build a community of people (similar to bodybuilding.com) who are interested in my particular genre of music. My goal is to use this blog as a marketing tool in order to launch my fastlane venture in the music industry. I guess the idea is that I can build...

    Motivational Richard Branson Interview

    MINDSET 
    If you haven't read Richard Branson's autobiography, check out this interview he had with the organization TED. It sums up the book and his life pretty well minus all the details. I enjoyed it: Richard Branson's life at 30,000 feet | Video on TED.com

    My story so far

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Hey Andrew, I just read this thread for the first time and it was excellent. I feel bad about the facebook app but it looks like you rebounded nicely. I have a hosting account with 1&1 and it comes with blog templates but they don't look nearly as nice as yours. Your layout doesn't really...

    It's playoff time!!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't know, I could see another game seven. I think Tampa is going to come out of the gate tough but the Phillies could bounce back like Boston did. I think ultimately the Ray are going to win it because they have the drive. I mean afterall, they were the worst team in baseball last year. And...

    It's playoff time!!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree that the times have changed and money dictates everything. But I hear alot from Boston fans that Johnny "sold out" by going to the Yankees. I mean did Babe Ruth sell out when he left Boston? But I guess I'm biased and I look at Boston as the dark side ;) But speaking of Boston and this...

    Besides chasing money....

    I don't think I have money on my mind 24x7, but I'm always thinking about business. Even during simple things like driving home from school or watching a baseball game - I'm always thinking about opportunity. It hasn't always been this bad, but since I've come to terms with having the funds...

    How do people buy apartments for little or no money down?

    I'm not a real estate expert by any means, but your question is very broad and you have to take certain things into consideration. I'm in a similar position where I am buying my first property next summer. I don't have a large amount of savings (roughly $5k) or credit history, but my parent's...

    Lead Generation for a Specific Area

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've been thinking about the idea of having a lead generation site built while simultaneously reading "The Long Tail" (I'll write a book review later). I've realized that creating a new and unique idea for this type of business is difficult and that I'm not quite sure I could offer more than the...

    Best Business Biographies?

    I read "Losing my Virginity" by Richard Branson a couple months and it was very inspiring. Are there any other fastlane type entrepreneurs who had humble beginnings who eventually wrote their own inspiring biography that you would recommend?

    Mentor Appropriate?

    A business mentor is kind of an oxymoron. I find my best advice is from just creating a thread about a question/concern/curiosity that's been bothering me. I almost always get an answer that I'm looking for and there's usually someone else who had a similar, if not the same question. If you...

    If you could have a beer with one person...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Business: I think the biggest one for me would be Richard Branson. I'd ask him every possible question about starting a business today. It seems like start up entrepreneurs are alot more famous than self made real estate investors. I'd love to talk to someone who started out with nothing in real...

    It's playoff time!!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think the Boston-Yankee rivalry is the best in sports. But for all of those following the Dodgers game that's on right now...Wow!! Empty dug outs for both sides. Talk about a rivalry of their own.

    Advice, please!

    I had very similar thinking as you when I was younger. I put alot of energy in choosing how much I was going to make, when I was going to make it and what I was going to spend it. Then I learned the reality of things. First, you need to realize that you need a plan to make that kind of money...

    calling all entrepreneurs

    I remember middle school dances like they were yesterday. I think the best thing you could do is get a legit DJ. We always had "that DJ" who played Christina Aguilera songs. Nobody is going to show up if you have that. Also, I remember the teacher's being really natzi. I realize they have to...

    It's playoff time!!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My Dad is a huge Sox fan because he's from New England. I just don't know how anyone can be a Sox fan with guys like Jonathan Papelbon on the team. He's the biggest a** ever. The Dodgers head to LA for tomorrow night's game and I'm calling a comeback! :smx9:

    Wealth Coaches/Strategists

    I treat this forum and the books I read as my wealth coaches. The things that I get out of this forum opposed to the books is that I can take what I learn and then ask questions and 9 out of 10 times someone can help me understand. I think the internet and the books I read are the bridge to...
