    Starting a Web Hosting Business from Scratch - Not Reseller

    I founded and sold a web hosting business... albeit a very small one: under 1k subs. So I'd like to think I know a thing or two about this industry. And being an engineer, I believe I know the tech stack very well. Why? Whenever I hear people say "I have to", it often boils down to slothful...

    Introduction

    INTRO 
    Thank you, Rayn, for your introduction. It sure sucks to invest your time, money, energy and hope into a business... only for it to die soon after takeoff. Heaven knows I've seen my fair share of that! But I'm hoping you learnt valuable lessons that will pay off in your next venture. Yes...

    Planning My Work & Working My Plan

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the amazing introduction and for sharing your very interesting life. For the first time I feel like I've met one of my kind in this forum: someone whose "humble beginnings" parallels my own. As Andy said, point your drive and unflinching determination at entrepreneurship... and I...

    21-year-old uni grad - frozen & stuck because I fear failure

    INTRO 
    In all fairness, he didn't say Toronto is a sh*hole. He only said it's a hellhole :hilarious:

    21-year-old uni grad - frozen & stuck because I fear failure

    INTRO 
    Do you mean Jaimie Johnson's : Born Rich, Children Of the Insanely Wealthy? Or Bob Procter's: You Were Born Rich? I'm thinking the latter.

    Where to buy Instagram accounts?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I just came across this marketplace ad right here in the Fastlane forum: MARKETPLACE - [HQ] Instagram accounts with followers [HQ] (I have nothing to do with this ad... I don't even know the person who posted it) But note that this is against Facebook/Instagram's ToS. So you have to play your...

    21-year-old uni grad - frozen & stuck because I fear failure

    INTRO 
    That's a new one to hear! But someone tell me... Is a hellhole above or below a sh*thole (Trump's description of African countries)? :hilarious: An African proverb can be translated loosely thus... "Only he who climbs a good tree can be helped." There are a lot of very experienced people...

    19-year-old Polish student beginning his own journey

    INTRO 
    Thanks for your introduction, David. I'll recommend, if you've not started already, to get and read the second book UNSCRIPTED immediately. While The Millionaire Fastlane provides that "Aha!" moment, UNSCRIPTED builds upon that and lays out a process for building wealth through your Fastlane...

    More knowledge, less time - 5-10 minute summaries of great books

    Personally, I don't use book summaries. Usually, I'll have to connect with an author on some level before I touch their (*) books. But when I do, I often binge read all their works. I like to take my time to reason with an author directly to see if I can arrive at the same conclusions they did...

    Data Acquisition in Real Life

    I recently implemented a Social Wi-Fi (aka WiFi marketing) system for a restaurant here in Accra, and this system had a people counter (sort of) built in. OK, it's not the traditional people counter, and it doesn't count the number of people who cross a line like @jon.M's post. Called Presence...

    Ahh... the age old question, Perhaps it can help you

    INTRO 
    Thanks for your introduction, @ManlyMansNegator. Well, now that you know what you want... what are you doing about it? What steps are you taking every day to get what you want? What's your escape plan? Note that there are very experienced people here who are also very generous with their time...

    How to find ideas

    IDEA 
    The two quoted statements, if they're referring to the same person, seem contradictory. In one, you managed to get him to "think of a great idea." In the other, he's a "moron" and it's a waste of time asking him for ideas. (NB: English is my 3rd language, so somethings I miss little nuances...

    Advice on a current $50k/yearly income stream

    This is not in my alley. But I'm wondering... Are you going for the sale directly in your FB ads, or are you collecting leads and following it up with a messaging campaign? Are you building your own fans email list? This should give you a little wiggle room on the C-CONTROL side of the pond...

    Great introduction! Welcome to the community. A mentor of mines likes to say... "automation is anything I don't touch and don't have to worry about." Worth keeping in mind as you seek to automate and systematize your operations. Very smart of you to be looking for opportunities in related...

    The Definite Guide to Productized Services

    NOTABLE! 
    Thanks to all of you for all the amazing contributions. I feel like a kid in a candy store (or as a friend likes to say, like a pastor's over-protected teenage boy going to a strip mall for the first time)!
