    How should I do the design process?

    HOT! 
    I'm in an area that has a lot of light manufacturing and custom design engineering, because of a history of high tech medical entrepreneurship in the area. Last year, I had a client who had an idea for a product that he wanted to mass product. The client hand built his prototype. He then...

    "I Will Teach You To Be Poor" by Ramit Sethi

    HOT! 
    In some really bizarre coincidence and oversight, your list seems to be a little different than the books most recommended by Fastlane Forum members. For example, when I did a forum search for posts with the title "Ramit teach you," the discussion of this very book from a couple of months ago...

    I have a good idea for an online business. But are some things I should know before starting it?

    IDEA 
    Nice start to your idea. Great thought to learn what others have done and to get advice. MJ's books will help you clarify and evaluate. I'm not just saying this because we're on his forum, I'm on his forum because he's really a great business author. Search the forum for other people...

    How should I do the design process?

    HOT! 
    There are design engineers who have years of training and experience, that make them able to answer these questions. Some of them are used to building prototypes, and then transferring the design into production. Some of them are available to consult. If you have no idea at all where to...

    Gun to Your Head, Make 10k in a Week

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'd lay low in the fastest Corellian freighter in the galaxy until this whole thing blows over. LUKE: Boy, it's lucky you had these compartments. HAN: I use them for smuggling. I never thought I'd be smuggling myself in them.

    Who owns rights to the app?

    If you don't say for sure, it's up to local law. Your law, or the law where the contractor is if he or she is someplace else? That's also unclear, so your contract needs a venue term: "Venue: The parties agree that this contract will be interpreted according the laws of New South Wales, and...

    Visualize The Future

    After disagreeing with you on some other threads, I'm happy to say I really love this post. Future me likes it a lot too. Great inspriation and challenge question! I'm learning more about how to use visualization. I have a very clear detailed picture of exactly what my ideal future life is...

    Supreme Court: Online shoppers can be forced to pay sales tax

    TAXES | REGS FEATURED! 
    Thank you for the clear summary. I'm not currently selling anything online. So dealing with this is on my to-do list for the time I start to do so in the future.

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    By definition, a world-changing entrepreneur thinks about things the rest of the world isn't thinking about. They think about typical things in a different way that's far from typical. And they keeps pushing until their vision becomes the new reality. That requires a self-assured confidence...

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don't object to the discussion. I'm just pointing out the irony that, "What if Elon visited" has been used to shut down some other threads here. (Mostly, that had less specific business value and social insight than this thread.)

    Sometimes Price Doesn't Matter

    Everybody has something they're passionate about, where they're eager to pay more to get more. As I see it, my challenge is to look for the places that have these kinds of buyers, and I can reach them with marketing and sales, and what they really value is something that I can provide really well.

    INTRO 
    Yeah that analogy also works perfectly. Is this something you've already done? In general, how does it work? Do all new clients pay for "first date project" no matter what? I'm just trying to visualize what's involved.

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don't have anything to add to the many insightful comments here. Just curious... if Elon Musk were to visit the forum today, would a thread speculating on Elon's psychological stability be the kind of thing we'd like him to see here? :smile:

    Supreme Court: Online shoppers can be forced to pay sales tax

    TAXES | REGS FEATURED! 
    I apologize that I've found myself bogged down with this particular thread. Did the Supreme Court say that retailers are obligated to collect and account for taxes for all jurisdictions nationally? Or is this only an assumed obligation, while the actual decision applies only to what the law...

    AWESOME post, Jason. That would make a really cool motivational poster. Very inspiring! I don't self-identify as a fighter/warrior type. But, it's been great to see the warrior mentality at work in this thread. Lots of good mindset and motivation material for everyone.

    I got an idea to start. What do you think about it?

    HOT! IDEA 
    When you take an airplane flight, they give you instructions about how if air pressure drops you can use an oxygen mask. They always say, put your own oxygen mask on first before you try to help anyone else. If you see to the other person first, you'll be out of oxygen and you both will pass...

    I agree with everyone else. License the designs for 10% when they sell. Don't try to change his attitude or life, unless he's first come to you and talked about how eager he is to become an entrepreneur, how he read MJ's book and he's on a new path in life. (If he is, he should have his own...
