    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I love that. Will keep reading to see if Andy went with that approach. I had been thinking of having a section of my business blog with quotes, starting this month, but didn't want to just be an anonymous meme factory. Your post adds a lot of value, by inspiring me to look at how I can add...

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I hope this question doesn't derail Andy's thread, but Jon, I wonder how this works. Does your BlueStacks installation have its own virtual phone number or something? How do apps you install in the emulator have their own unique location, comparable to apps installed on a particular device?

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I'm interested to see your Instagram progress, Andy, as I've never used the service at all. But I'm curious why you didn't go with Twitter for the quotes? Also continuing to listen to your interviews... an incredible amount of great specific tips and helpful observations in them! Revising my...

    Hello from Western Australia fastlaners!

    G'day Shaun! So some of your previous business ideas got carried away by the kangaroos before you could catch 'em? ;) What kind of things did you try before?

    Hello to the FASTLANE community!

    INTRO 
    Most of your interests - physics, math, computers - seem to have obvious connection to energy engineering. The rest look like they make you a more interesting, well rounded person! Looking forward to conversations with you here, Estera. Thanks for introducing yourself!

    INTRO 
    That's actually a GREAT start right there. To think about what seems to be important and necessary in life, in career, in business... and then to ask, where did that idea come from? Was it advice from someone who succeeded, or just a social ritual that's meaningless and has no power? As you...

    EXECUTION 
    Reading notes ( and personal applications ) from Dan Kennedy's book "The Ultimate Sales Letter" Intro: Greg Renker points out that the same techniques Dan discusses for typed, printed letters, also work on TV. Dan likes to complain about the Internet. I wonder if he ever took a break from all...

    Someone should do a Star Wars themed dating app. When a guy gets a new match, his phone will play Rey saying, "Can't you put on a cowl or something?"

    Coping with serious disabilities?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Suppose that you had absolutely perfect health and energy. You would still only be able to work something less than 168 hours a week. Even if you slept little, ate fast, had no commute and no social life, and could shower & shave with military precision every day, you'd be unlike to make more...

    Applying FastLane Principles to Finding Love?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I was the one who asked, what kind of man do you most want to attract, and why would he choose you? And that's apparently one of the "unhelpful" posts not worthy of a reply. Why discuss such petty things as that when looking for love, while instead it's necessary to debate which type of...

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks! I'm familiar with Porter's 5 Forces, but I never before considered how it relates to advertising. I do know there are several personality types I'd like to work with, and who would enjoy working with me. There are several business situations I'd like to help, where I could make a...

    Is it illegal for me to use other products in my product?

    Thanks Gilman! I didn't know that those warnings were mostly to "suggest" (or maybe intimidate) people, but often don't have any legal value at all. Very useful examples! It seems really weird and arbitrary that in Hawaii you can't be a ticket scalper for boxing, but you can for anything...

    EXECUTION 
    I agree with your summary. My full set of notes on the book comes to six pages. Highlights for me now: Chapter 1 - Advertising done right is an analytical and extremely low risk business activity. This contradicts a lifetime of fearful conditioning about advertising as super-creative and...

    Hi, I'm just another Simon

    INTRO 
    If you can get some readers or followers, and you have a comments area or a way for people to email you, pretty soon you'll get enough questions to fill your editorial calendar. I read the memoirs of a software entrepreneur, who said that the only part they had to come up was Version 1.0. As...

    Late Bloomer's intro

    INTRO 
    I have several stories I could tell, but I'll focus on how I wasted most of last year on the worst situation. Early in the year, I went to a business networking event, offering technology consulting. One of the people there was an inventor, with a unique, patented product design, and some...

    Hi, I'm just another Simon

    You could send a note to one of the administrators asking if it's okay to put on the public forum. You can also use the private message feature to let me know directly. "My boss didn't appreciate the work I did, overlooked my contribution to a big project, was unfair in my performance review...

    Thanks Stephen, I appreciate the advice on software to avoid, budgets, and your goals. Both your sites on first glance look great, very professional and modern! I think the forum here will be a great help you, as you design your offers, marketing funnels, and sales approach.

    INTRO 
    This all sounds like an outstanding long-term opportunity. I suggest you continue doing it most of your time, but diversify a percentage of your time into little things that could pay off quickly along the way. A copywriting discussion group seems to be starting up here. Would that be helpful...

    Commissions for sales rep?

    I'm a little confused on the time line and relationships. Does the sales rep have a contract or letter of agreement with you? Did you have a conversation where you agreed that he will represent your product, and get a finder's fee or commission? Is he an employee of the company that you're...
