    giving all my company’s profits away! (Preferably without starving)

    I recommend you look up Derek Sivers's story. He figured he could give away more if he first had a company that made a lot of profits, and then he sold that company for a lot of money. He then gave away all of that except for just enough to live on, including some travel. I think he'd be a...

    Which operating system do you and other entrepreneurs use? (computer and mobile)

    The thread should be titled A-Y-A. The original poster isn't saying, "ask ME anything because I did a study of which systems entrepreneurs use." Instead this is an Ask-YOU-Anything thread! ;-)

    Which operating system do you and other entrepreneurs use? (computer and mobile)

    It depends on the entrepreneur. If people are not technically savvy, they will tend to stick with whatever happens to be comfortable and familiar because it's what they happened to learn on first. Occasionally you find a non-technical person who tried out different systems so they could make...

    Where to Learn to Code?

    I'll tell you how I learned. My father was a computer engineer. In junior high I learned WordStar on CP/M on computers he brought home from work. In high school I read Papert's book, the K&R book on C, the Turbo Pascal manual, and just about every issue of Byte, Computer Shopper, and some...

    TLDR; Feedback on my sales page (Plus a brief progress/execution episode)

    There's not a single word in your post about who you serve, and what needs and wants they have that you are well equipped to fulfill.

    Death of Loved Ones

    PEOPLE 
    I've also visited Hanalei, and I've also received that call that my father had suddenly passed. For me, those two things happened a few years apart. What your father, and your aunt as well, mean to you is for you to decide, not for anyone else to evaluate for you. It sounds like the...

    A hopeless idiot

    INTRO 
    MJ wrote a couple of great books about this. (I know one of the books is great because I read it. I suspect the other one's also good, based on the reviews.) He explains that being a slow-laner is primarily a matter of indoctrination by social rules that are popular and seem to make sense...

    Late Bloomer's touchy-feely exploration of feelings and actions

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Signed up for Fiverr and Upwork today. I went through my photo archive to select what I thought were the most appropriate profile shots for Fiverr and Upwork. Airbrushed out the shaving cut in what was otherwise a good picture. I thought that between Fiverr and Upwork, Fiverr would be easier...

    Should I purchase a small town?

    INTRO 
    Yes, but usually a town for sale will only have a few buildings in an isolated area.

    I came back on briefly tonight to respectfully request that you delete this needlessly argumentative, confrontational, disrespectful, and negatively assumptive comment of yours. I explained that I was able to pay my own way in life through more than two decades of corporate work. I explained...

    Why not apply to the Y Combinator program, so that THEY would pay YOU to spend a summer in Silicon Valley getting mentored til you make your pitch?

    Should I purchase a small town?

    INTRO 
    Corp, your introduction assumes that we all agree that in order for families to be safe, they absolutely MUST live in small towns, isolated from the rest of civilization. People who don't share that judgment about the world will have thought very little, if at all, about how to make that work...

    Hello FastLaners! Here's the short version of my story.

    INTRO 
    Hi Bennu, I admire your honesty, courage and dedication! That is one of the most powerful one-liner statements I have EVER read. Seems that it would be an incredibly compelling headline for any diabetic product. Although the majority of the participants are far younger than we are, I...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Hi LiveFire, I can absolutely relate to what you've been through. Statistics show that within the next few years, fully half the American workforce will be "contingent." Part-time, freelance, contractors, doing gigs, temporary, short-term projects through agencies. The trend is clear that...

    Business Success when there's no Middle Class

    HOT! 
    If you want something, and can afford it... there are only two reasons to buy one offer instead of a different offer. Either it's good enough and costs less, or, it's a chance to pay more to get more in a way that matters to you. I think that's always true in any economy. So you need to...

    Hi John, I just joined the forum this week myself. I like the way you're clear about your thought process and open to conversation. It's ironic that you have an idea for a Parking business on the Fastlane Forum :-) I could see that "pay by phone to park" could be the standard within ten...

    Only one of anything online violates the commandment of Control.

    MARKETING 
    "One of anything" isn't just about marketing. It also relates to the technical side. With only one server at only one hosting or cloud service, an outage there will result in 100% downtime.
