    The Millionaire Fastlane ... Book Progress

    EXECUTION 
    My vote is that you walk away for a few weeks, then look at it again. You'll gain a new perspective and possibly have a renewed sense of purpose about the book. I understand your commitment to quality, but wouldn't throwing away all that work be contrary to the Fastlane philosophy? You will...

    Rewriting Your Writing: How to Be a Better Writer

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I could be wrong, but I thought she was teasing. If she wanted to flip it, she could have said, "At least women don't need a site on how to write better". Ofcourse that would not necessarily be an accurate statment, but she could have said that. Too late now ATW :)

    Happy BD Russ & JScott!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    re: Happy BD Russ & JScott! Well guys, as I get older, birthdays tend to fade into each other and become less distinguished from the previous ones. At least in your cases, you will remember this birthday as the day the whole world reflected on...:jackson: Happy B Day

    Thanks, I just stumbled across the article. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for what you wrote, I didn't know Mr. Bloomberg's story.

    Wimbledon Rocks

    Hi Niche, I guess a more direct question would be what is your Motivation for being here? Is it to learn, to share experiences, to contribute useful dialogue, or is it strictly to market an affiliate site? The former is welcomed, the latter not tolerated (at least until credibility and...

    Startup costs

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've heard a couple of ideas about this. The one I settled on was to rent a box from a place like Mailbox Etc. That way the address seemed more professional. I also read that you should not get a P.O. box. That would be akin to braggin about your IBM typewriter in the age of email and...

    Capitalism: Is it dying?

    I agree that it's not dying. It is however being stunted at this time. I picked the title based on one of the comments found in the video. What you say about doing business somewhere else may be accurate as production of goods and services continue to be sent offshore. Hopefully, a way will...

    Has Anyone Read This Lately?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Russ, I think I may need to apologize and back off a little. At first, I did interpret your comment in the light of political correctness. As I began to respond, experiences from over the years came to mind and they were easily included into my comments. Looking back at your statement, I...

    Has Anyone Read This Lately?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree with you and I tried to be careful not to say Americans, but rather America as a country. Every society (nation) has people within that epitomize the best of humanity. Conversely, those same societies occasionally have the undesirables. As a whole, I believe Americans are great...

    If you were given £5 what would you do with it?

    I think this has been done. I've seen the scuzziest looking dude walking around with a local restaurant sign strapped to him. The plan back fired cuz I don't want to eat there now.

    Has Anyone Read This Lately?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Russ, I understand your opinion and your right to express it. So with that, I will explain mine in more detail. I believe that you are trying to stave off offense, by saying “No, we are equal”. Indeed, there is a certain appeal to saying everyone is equal, that we all share the same values...

    Great Stuff MJ. I was thinking of posting parts of this last night. I'm glad you listed it for those fastlaners out of the USA. This way, they can see where we started from and what our values were. This IS the Best country in the world. Now is the time to work hard to keep it this way...

    Dropshippers

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The FIRST thing you need is a tax ID... otherwise they won't even talk to you. You may find one or two that don't need it, but most legitimate wholesalers will. This also shows them that you are serious about being in business and not just waisting their time.

    This thread should help you. http://www.thefastlanetomillions.com/business-building-e-biz-internet/20011-how-i-find-suppliers-my-ecommerce-stores.html Also: don't trust lists from google. Most of those are just marked up lists and not legitimate sources of wholesalers.

    Capitalism: Is it dying?

    I saw this program on CNBC (not MSNBC) a few minutes ago. I haven't watched it completely, but I thought you guys might be interested in the discussion. I found the link on HULU. I probably should wait to see what conclusion they come too, but at least if I post it now, I can't be accused of...
