    Fastlane = Early death?

    Thank you Lauren, nice choice to change your lifestyle to a more healthy one. I didn't know you could buy quality prepared meals from Whole Foods, that'd be even easier than having a chef prepare meals each day. With all the diet pills, fad diets, supplements, and fancy equipment people tend...

    What's up, this is why I'm here...

    You're defeating yourself with that attitude. Read about Scott Cook the founder of Quickbooks, he didn't know a thing about programming but posted up a poster saying 'programmer wanted' at a Cali university, a programmer named Tom Proulx responded and together they founded quickbooks and made...

    I love capitalism (risk and reward) - Repost from CraigsList

    MINDSET 
    This one slipped through the cracks... 20 hour days the author claims seem counterproductive and in my case would quickly lead me to low productivity and eventually nervous breakdown but it was a good read.

    Changing direction (Free is a business model??)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Jeff Jarvis, Seth Godin, and Gary Vaynerchuk might be all for giving a product away but many other more experienced businessmen like Rupert Murdoch seem to be moving away from the current tendency to give away content and planning on implementing payment for content. I don't know if you ever...

    Success Story: Tom

    EXECUTION 
    Great article, the story you quoted epitomises the fastlane as does the sale of Mint. Good for the founders of both companies. I noticed someone (probably a wage slave) criticised the sale of Tom's company and Mint... Tom later published a convincing reply :) The reply: It is disturbing to...

    Got balls and cash?

    Yeah some of the figures are astounding: "The cost of chartering an entire bulk freighter suitable for carrying raw materials has plunged even further, from close to £185,000 ($300,000) last summer to an incredible £6,100 ($10,000) earlier this year" and then... "If it costs £7,000 a day...

    Can a Billion-Dollar Ecommerce Toy Company Be Created?

    So in the case of a toy store you could offer free next day shipping and a friendly returns policy to makeup for not being able to see a toy in store. Do you have any experience with an online store yet?

    Can a Billion-Dollar Ecommerce Toy Company Be Created?

    This is true but you'd also expect the tendency for people to try on shoes before buying make them unlikely to buy from an online store like zappos yet there still seems to be quite a fwe customers for zappos :) You might lose impulse buyers but make up for it by gaining the majority of the...

    Can a Billion-Dollar Ecommerce Toy Company Be Created?

    Of course it can, you said yourself Zappos took on a $2.66bn revenue company and carved itself out a $1bn marketshare, a google search shows the first 3 matches don't even have user friendly store etoys is too heavy on flash and not really an overly intuitive site. It definitely has potential...

    Very clever move by the Papa Johns founder

    Yea I have no idea how many Camaros are getting around, I'm sure they could project an accurate figure themselves but whatever it may be they're getting national headlines and a positive buzz for a few hundred thousand dollars. Yes even on a smaller scale some of the business owners here could...

    Why Craigslist is Such a Mess

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It is not an aesthetically appealing site and is a little chaotic, in my opinion it lacks order. You can only really find an ad if you have that specific good/service in mind. They should implement improved functions, order and style for users in a certain area, say for Los Angeles users, this...

    Guy Who Shoots Up La Fitness - George Sodini

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Really odd, he seems to be a decent looking fellow at the age of 48, earned a decent wage but in every other aspect of his life was held back by some deep seated issues. One part of me wants to feel sorry for him but when it all boils down he murdered a number of innocent people instead of...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Interesting link Its a shame people spend 4x the amount of time on the tv than socialising and 30x more than they do thinking though. I'd say a lot of working hours are spent on facebook and other sites and much tv time is spent with a computer whilst browsing which the graphic doesn't...

    Society Brainwash vs. Fastlane.. part 2

    :coco: That's just a legendary fail from that teacher. Ridiculously stupid on their behalf, with such a creative take on a so so topic any sand teacher should be happy to read your response. Sounds like they've got their head too far up their a** Keep that essay framed and be more motivated...

    The Fastlane Book

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree completely, there are far more fastlane vehicles than real-estate only. It would limit peoples imaginations and creativity if MJ sells the route of business owner as the route to earning millions but then spends a large portion of his book analysing hypothetical REI deals. Of course REI...
