    HOT! CHAT 
    A small rant--something I used to make in my handmade biz I am going back to, except that someone else has been doing it for years, but not longer than when I first started, so even though I am an imitation of myself, I look like a poor imitation of someone else. :rage: MJ--that limo, yikes...

    How to advertise a luxury streetwear brand?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    EGADS! No. That purple and orangey red header is ghastly. I should tell you I am middle aged and preppy and I wear a lot of Ralph Lauren and I don't like any clothing with writing on it. I would never wear a hoodie (although I admit to owing one thin zip up one I wear to physical therapy)...

    2019 Fastlane Summit - Announcement

    MEETUPS 
    Oh, boo! I was hoping to go this year. I visit here just about every day, although I don't have much to contribute in the way of "I've done this and it's awesome". I'm more of the type that exists to be an example of what not to do. I'm not doing anything fast lane at the moment because I need...

    How to advertise a luxury streetwear brand?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    First I want to commend you for actually starting something, that's the only way to learn and at your age, I am sure I wouldn't have. Ok, now on to the lessons: As someone who has made and sold one of a kind and limited edition items for over 10 years, I will say this: In any industry, whether...

    Agree or Disagree: Entrepreneurship is a privilege

    Yup. Definitely a far smaller dating pool.

    Agree or Disagree: Entrepreneurship is a privilege

    HOT! 
    Hustle is free. If you are in good health, then you are OMG, guess what, privileged! If you have your mind in good working order, then you are privileged. If you are only focusing on R & D for a productocracy, then you are doomed to fail. There are productocracies that don't require R & D, and...

    Social Media Worship/You Don't Need It

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA RANT 
    That's exactly what I was thinking as I read the OP. I'm in a visually driven business, and Instagram is a must. On the other hand, when my AC/plumbing goes out, I'm googling on my phone. And so what if Gary Vee's business is social media? He wrote a book on how to use it, which is a useful...

    Supply and Demand

    Exactly what I'm working on now. I found a niche of a niche and the sub niche has been done poorly, so I'm going to do it better.

    Labor Day Weekend, Whatchya Doing?

    Gosh, you guys are having fun... I'm working on my next product launch, which I'm excited about but I think I'd rather be boating or something.

    The Luxury Strategy

    HOT! 
    Maybe, maybe not, but that isn't what really makes a bag good or not. I've made bags and good hardware and leather can get quite costly. You can't just buy the parts and make the bag. For one thing, LV's signature patterned canvases don't come cheaply, as no custom printed materials do. The...

    When was it the last time that someone failed to sell you something? Why did he fail?

    EXECUTION 
    There's very little that makes me spend money. MJ wins because I bought his first book when I had 12 bucks to my name. I literally spent half of what I had on that book. The loser in my own personal contest here is a neighbor who came over to let me know a pipe had burst and my side yard was...

    Thoughts on "Crushing It" - Gary Vaynerchuk (2018)?

    I'm reading it right now and I'm not cool enough to be a personal brand, but I do think there are a lot of nuggets of wisdom in there that are useful for everyone. The useful tips so far: 1. People fail because they are putting their energies into the wrongs things. 2. Authenticity is a...

    You guys are too hard on Higher Education, in my opinion. Here’s why.

    HOT! 
    I'm a big fan of education, but not necessarily school. For instance, getting a degree in gender studies and then being $150K in debt is not the kind of education that's useful. Getting an MD is useful. But honestly, if people could just be minimally educated to communicate using logic and...

    Am I in the right business? Perspective from an Artist

    Your work is wonderful! And it's easy to be an artist, but not a successful one, so major kudos on your accomplishments thus far. Have you thought about writing a book on how to paint wildlife? And I know you offer a tutorial with your kit, but what about general painting courses that people...

    Author spent 5 years interviewing 177 selfmade millionaires to find their secrets. Findings inside.

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    Fascinating, but not surprising. Regardless of the amount of money one makes, everyone would have a far better life if they had better habits. Almost everything on the list isn't a matter of having wealth or not. Even if you work a sucky job, there's no reason you have to go home and sit in...
