    Opportunity Goggles

    MINDSET 
    drmctcher, great question. There's alot of people here who can give you better advice than I can, but since I'm in a similar position as you I can tell you what I've been doing lately. I've been toying around with alot of ideas and my two largest criteria for each idea I have is that it solves a...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just finished the book today. I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" when I was 14 and it was a game changer. Since then I've read 50-70 business books, but the Fastlane to Millions brought me back to the first time I read RDPD. But the Fastlane was more literal in terms of actual business advice whereas...

    Changing my life to get back on the fastlane

    I think I'm referring to pg. 157 under "Choose to be wealthy or choose to be poor." And it says, "The choice to squander college because your parents paid for it" and a few lines under "The choice to overindulge in food or liquor." For the next two years I essentially live for free, I do work...

    Changing my life to get back on the fastlane

    I think the environment I'm in isn't helping me reach my goals. Yes I'm the one who chooses to party and I'm the one who chooses to go out, but I'm part of a fraternity here so from Wednesday night to Sunday I have mixers and parties that I'm obligated to go to. If I were to go back to Utica I...

    Changing my life to get back on the fastlane

    I'm a second year college student and I've had goals to become a successful entrepreneur since the beginning of high school. I've been a member of the Fastlane forums since almost its beginning and I've been finding myself getting off track of my dreams. I go to school in upstate New York and...

    Three ideas - one will be executed

    IDEA 
    Although all three ideas are interesting, I like #2 and #3 the most. The web design rating company is a great idea. I think there are alot of "sketchy" web designers who have similar traits as alot of housing contractors. This type of site will allow potential customers to weed through the...

    Is stock trading with low funds foolish?

    INVESTING 
    I started a thread a few days ago about penny stock investing, but after receiving some advice I'd like to ask a different question. I'm a college student and during the week I work part-time at a golf store. Basically I ring people up but on slow days I literally spend hours on the computer...

    What do you think of microcap investing?

    INVESTING 
    I've done a few searches for penny stocks on this forum but I couldn't come up with much. I was wondering why there isn't too much talk on this subject? I've read a few books on microcap investing and the OTCBB/Pink Sheets and I've learned that although many companies are very shady, some...

    Any College Entrepreneurs on here?

    I'm going into my sophomore year of college. I'm originally from downstate New York but I now live year round upstate where I also attend state school. I moved into my own apartment last January and it's definitely been difficult to balance school, partying and business.

    Starting a PC Repair Business

    My college roommate is extremely talented when it comes to repairing computers and he's looking for a way to make some extra cash this summer. I offered to partner with him on a PC Repair Business Venture. I know this is definitely not fastlane, but some extra income for both of us could be...

    medical marijuana industry

    Not just leave you stranded, but face heavy jail time too. Until something happens at the federal level marijuana for any use is illegal. Not the best business investment unless you're willing to take that risk.

    What Are the Chances of Becoming Rich?

    I think the better question is how many people actually attempted to become rich in a constructive way? There's a huge social stigma against becoming financially independent. Furthermore, there's a huge belief that you can somehow become rich working for someone else. If you're just trying...

    Crowdsource your dream car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't think it's meant to be for mass production. I doubt their business model is for the masses but instead car enthusiasts. And there are ALOT of car enthusiasts. As a car follower myself, I can say I've never been totally satisfied with any of the cars I've owned. There's always been some...

    Sizing up Potential in your business venture?

    Guy Kawasaki was a big believer that its better to work from the bottom up opposed to the top down. It's really easy to say that there will be 500,000 people selling used cars this month - 250,000 which will use the internet - so technically there's your market. But that's not realistic...

    Another Felix Dennis question.

    I have to say this book is my favorite since I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad five years ago. It's extremely straight forward - no B.S., and really lays down how to become rich. I too thought this blurb was a bit strange as Felix seemed extremely optimistic in the beginning and middle of the book...

    How can I make a solution to an idea into a business?

    IDEA 
    I posted a while ago about my intention to start a magazine while leaving out the key details in fear of giving up my idea. But now after a month of complete creativity block, I cannot seem to find how to translate my idea into a tangible business and I need help. My idea came about when I left...

    New age Entrepreneur...Why it is scary.

    I haven't read any of the other posts since I'm short on time, but I felt compelled to respond to the original thread. Part of being a successful entrepreneur is not having ONE good idea, or ONE skill set. Richard Branson went from being the King of the British Music Industry to the King of the...

    Your industry will determine your success?

    Starting a business isn't like the stock market. The stock market has a cap, but it's the entrepreneur who extends the production possibilities frontier. The production possibilities frontier in economics and the stock market explains the capacity of an industry - while in entrepreneurship we...

    Ideas for different industries?!

    IDEA 
    I used to think, "there are so many more qualified people in this industry who could make this start-up" - but the truth is none of them are fastlane oriented. And you are! Ryan Ferris had a section in his book about becoming an expert in something in a relatively short period of time. My...

    Find your customers first

    I think finding your customers first is an interesting idea, especially for an internet start-up, but the lack of identifying your target market is not always caused from someone not looking for their customers first. One could start a blog or a forum, market the hell out of it while they could...
