    Wordpress or Coding from scratch

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Wordpress is also not the only system out there, not by a long shot. Wordpress is popular because it's fast and easy and you can get a small decent looking site up in minutes. However as your needs grow you'll find this initial blessing turns into a curse. For example, the standard way to...

    Admitting there's a problem is the first step.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Just curious, what were you expecting? In my younger days I was the frontman for an industrial/performance band, and experienced the darker and dingier parts of several cities around the country. At one point I was literally chain-and-padlocked into a converted garage in Queens, the owner...

    Post Your Desk or Work Area! (The Workspace Thread)

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    I definitely use split windows when editing code, I could barely get by without that feature. Spreadsheets also allow you to use splits to view different parts of one sheet at the same time, and of course windows has had auto-tiling (vert or horizontal) for a long time. I do use a pretty large...

    Post Your Desk or Work Area! (The Workspace Thread)

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    @RWH3 My guess is, most people aren't aware of virtual desktop managers. I use linux systems with XFCE and can flip between desktops pretty much instantly with hotkeys. Eliminates the need for multiple monitors. I hate the split right at the center of vision witha dual setup, and also having...

    The product that will change how you think about MONEY - forever!

    EXECUTION 
    The "Admitting there's a problem..." thread has made me reluctant to post much. However as it's been three weeks and the first deadline is approaching an update is appropriate, otherwise this becomes a dead thread. The first week went OK...then the fact that I still have a day job reared its...

    The next internet revolution - money for the masses

    Thanks for this. I think you've nailed not only the reason why many people don't have bank accounts, but why credit unions are so popular. I need to verify this but I strongly suspect the credit unions will let you open an account as long as you have cash in hand, whereas the banks (as you...

    The next internet revolution - money for the masses

    In this specific example I watched my friend spend 2 hours downloading one crappy malware-ridden music app after another trying to find this song. I've bought specific songs from amazon numerous times, sometimes they aren't available on youtube. I have a youtube playlist assembled some years...

    The product that will change how you think about MONEY - forever!

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the link, I saw the $150 course on Udemy (with not great reviews) but somehow missed the free one on Udacity. I'll refrain from referring to LS until I'm confident I understand the concepts thoroughly. As for "huge failure", keep in mind the max time allocated is 5 weeks, or about a...

    The next internet revolution - money for the masses

    I've posted a progress thread: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/the-product-that-will-change-how-you-think-about-money-forever.51861/ What I'm doing is somewhat different from the "typical" Fastlane approach, in particular, I've got an idea for a thing to build but no real...

    The product that will change how you think about MONEY - forever!

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry once again about the pompous thread title, I still haven't gotten over the novelty of copywriting "hooks". For what it's worth, my "intro" thread has 468 views, though other threads with titles like "Hello from California" have more. If you didn't look at my idea thread, read that one...

    TheFastLaneForum IRC Chat?

    It's probably not going to attract people who already aren't using IRC. Anyway I started idling in #fastlane yesterday (which someone else had created and registered nearly a year ago) and already had one person show up.

    TheFastLaneForum IRC Chat?

    Reviving this thread. IRC should be seen as complementary to this site. Forums are good for durable communication with hours to days lag between responses. IRC is volatile real-time chat. It's the difference between a correspondence thru a series of letters and a conference call. Turns out...

    The next internet revolution - money for the masses

    WOW!! Didn't expect to get this much of a response! I'll try to address everyone's points and also clear up some confusion. First off, many posters are incredulous that there are even people without credit cards, let alone checking accounts. I can tell you from personal experience this is...

    The next internet revolution - money for the masses

    I've been trying to come up with the right way to post about this and finally decided to just go for it...apologies in advance if it's a bit sloppy and unfocused. So my idea (more of an insight at this point) is that we're at a unique point in time where everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - has...

    2 Business ideas, SOMEONE TAKE THESE!!

    IDEA 
    What about third party insurance? You still go thru fedex/ups but if your shipment gets trashed you get a settlement from the insurance company, without having to deal with the shipping company at all. Seems like the target market would be willing to pay substantial premiums so the insurance...

    INTRO 
    Just an update, it's been a little under two weeks since I posted this and I'm at 274 views right now. Though far from the top (there's at least one post with over 600 views, and several over 274) it seems to be well above average. Guess those cheesy come-on lines really still work! I'll...

    INTRO 
    It certainly helps. One of the immediate things I plan to do is create a web site and an app. Those are things I can already do at a professional level. Unfortunately the impression I get is that sales and marketing are far and away the most critical skills, and I don't have those. The...

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the forum link. I spent some years studying finance before finding MJ's book last Christmas. It's easy to get stuck in a slowlaner job in that field...just saw one of the forum descriptions there say something about 100-hour weeks being the norm for investment bankers. I was pretty...

    Hi all, it's Montana Myke, and I don't have any simple method other than trying out the copy-writing tricks I've been reading about on this forum. The view counter will tell me if it worked! At 43 I seem to be older than most of the members here. I did the good grades, good school thing only...
