    How to be faster than a Ferrari for less money than a Honda Civic

    HOT! MINDSET 
    When I was an EMT I responded to my fair share of motorcycle accidents. The thing I didn't like about them was invariably the accident was either cause by someone else not seeing the motorcycle and hitting it, or something stupid like hitting a rock. One guy in particular was coming down a...

    Making cold-callers pay to reach you

    I'm a big Caps fan (though not a huge Mike Green fan), thought I'd ask. Have you started asking businesses if they want this sort of service? I'd walk around and try to talk to people face to face and ask them if they'd be interested in the get paid to get called/emailed concept, where they...

    Making cold-callers pay to reach you

    Your username isn't because you're a Mike Green fan, is it? Wait...are you Mike Green? :)

    Making cold-callers pay to reach you

    I think it might be kinda cool if you could indicate what you wanted to receive calls about. Right now if someone were to call me offering reduced shipping supplies, I'd be receptive. Once that problem is solved I might be interested in fielding calls about something else. If I knew the other...

    Making cold-callers pay to reach you

    I remember hearing there was something like this afoot for email. Want to email Mark Cuban? You can, but you'd have to pay his price.

    Insanity or Determination

    MINDSET 
    There is another way to look at it - as someone who sucked at math, I would 1) answer the questions that I knew I could answer first, then 2) come back to the hard stuff. When I did it in reverse order I'd get super motivated to finish the hard answer that I'd not have time for the easy ones. I...

    What is your ONE thing that you are doing today?

    BOOKS 
    I hope so - I've sold one prototype, and have nannies asking for their own prototype (80% of nannies surveyed want my prototype for themselves)

    What is your ONE thing that you are doing today?

    BOOKS 
    You have no idea how stressful it is to change your kid's poopy diaper by yourself while he is trying to get his hands in it, while in the other room your wife is on the phone with the CIO of a Fortune 50 company due to her job.

    edit2: before my poop shield diaper changes either involved getting poop everywhere, or having a 2nd person hold my son's hands while the poop cleaning was occuring.

    What is your ONE thing that you are doing today?

    BOOKS 
    I invented a device that keeps infants from getting their hands into their poop (and genital/belly region generally) during diaper changes. It's literally been a lifechanger for me, as solo diaper changes are no longer stressful. I've found that 50% of parents have this problem, and that many...

    Today I: -established a mastermind group on skype -bought power tools needed to cut my prototype creation down from 1.5 hrs to 15 minutes (and save me from bruised hands and trying to push a razor blade through hard plastic) -followed up on my amazon shipments, as it's the first time I'm...

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Idea extraction is the most valuable thing I've done to date. -You get over your fear of calling people -You realize that business ideas are literally a phone call away -You learn that when you approach this whole process with "how can I help you" instead of "pay me for this thing I came up...

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Also something I've learned about selling other people's products online is that more sellers doesn't always equal better for them. Most manufacturers aren't stupid - they know that unless you have an amazing ecommerce presence with top SERP rankings, you're selling on Amazon or ebay. The more...

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    (In addition to what was said above) because sometimes the product isn't proprietary, but the process is. I sell a certain product on Amazon. If I laid out on this forum how I sell that product, you would learn a lot about selling on Amazon in general terms, but you wouldn't be a competitor...

I'll now be making 100% active profit instead of 20% passive profits, with only an additional hour of work per month.

    Is this because you didn't really have any driving reason behind why you wanted that level of growth when you made those statements to your friends, other than "just because?" What was the catalyst that changed your mindset and caused you to take action, and why wasn't that present when you...

    "Get your hands out of your poop!"

    MARKETPLACE 
    Thanks @Felix II for the feedback! I'm sure everyone who's had this problem and has been as frustrated as me has thought of creating something to solve it. Like a lot of baby stuff, we end up buying more than we actually need (especially with our first kid). For me, this is an absolute...

    "Get your hands out of your poop!"

    MARKETPLACE 
    50% of infants put their hands in their poop when having their diaper changed. Is your kid one of them? Mine is. He'd put his hands in his poop all the time (and if he wasn't doing that he was scratching the crap out of his stomach and legs because of his eczema). I'd have to use one of my...
