    Best way to learn to build and sell businesses without high cost

    EXECUTION 
    Go get a job as a business broker. I did it a few years ago to learn the insides. Check on the requirements for your state to be licensed. In Nevada I had to obtain my real estate license then pass another test & course for a business broker permit. This will give you all the insights you...

    What have you failed at this week?

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Cool article about the founder of Spanx. He father would ask what she has failed at this week over dinner. This helped her become comfortable with trying new things. Because of this she became one of the youngest women billionaires (the youngest?). This forum has helped me to achieve this same...

    Does requiring a credit card deter scammers?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Without knowing what the purpose of the charge is it is really hard to help. I chased down an idea (put it on hold as it would require too much upfront while I grow my other business) that was essentially a competitor to other rental property websites such as zillow. I was going to charge...

    Does "Integrity" matter to you?

    EXECUTION 
    I can only speak for myself in this. Does integrity matter to me? Yes. Does that mean I have to lie about products that I think suck? No. Opinion isn't the same as what the product actually is or does. Some people might have rated The Millionaire Fastlane a one star, doesn't make it a...

    Who has sold a web-based business? (Besides MJ?)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have not sold a large web company but I was a business broker for a short time. Sadly non of the other brokers in the office ever worked with online businesses either. From what I've seen, you are 100% correct that Flippa probably wouldn't be the place to list this although I do see some large...

    Building a Relationship with a Mentor

    PEOPLE 
    A bit of honest brown nosing has never hurt me. All my mentors seem to greatly appreciate it. Who doesn't like to be admired!? It's an ego play, but rightly so. He has done something incredible and you are admiring him for that. With that said, nobody likes a suck up. As 1step said, what can...

    Carwashes

    Just listened to an insider call of yours last night - nice to hear you still dive after working as a diver for so many years :thumbsup: But 8 $3M washes. Yea that is pretty fastlane. I remember in highshcool working at a full service wash. It was the busiest wash in my city (still is I...

    Carwashes

    Both. From small self serve to high end full service. My personal favorite are the simple tunnels with coin vacuums.

    Carwashes

    He doesn't have his own brand washes. Just wash products. His other 'brand' would be the company that builds washes for others. While he does own many of his own, he doesn't have a 'brand' to my knowledge. I'll will find out regarding the partnering idea, don't think it fits his model, but...

    Carwashes

    Yes I do plan on getting into the business. I need more capital first and am pursuing my own fastlane business that would generate the funds I need to get into carwashes. I worked in carwashes while I was in highschool and know all about it. Basically got paid to learn the business from the...

    Carwashes

    All you mentioned is 100% true and I was over zealous is calling them passive. There are companies out there that will oversee all those aspects of the business for you and you can simply pick up your checks in the mail. It all depends on how you wish to run things. As far as his story goes I...

    He has his own brand as well as offering others such as Ryco and Blendco. If that doesn't suffice, let me know and I will ask him specifically.

    Carwashes

    I'm curious why I don't see more threads about owning car washes. One of my mentors is a car wash guy. He has a company that will do everything for you if you want to enter that business. They do all the due diligence in locating a good spot, advising on what type of wash will be best in that...

    Group Project!

    PEOPLE 
    The more I think about it, the more I think it can be pulled off. The idea of lawsuits scares me, but they always do and haven't stopped me yet. I bet there is a way to set it up to avoid lawsuits. Anyone with a legal background want to chime in? Otherwise it will be much easier to do this in...

    Group Project!

    PEOPLE 
    @codo I agree, it can get tricky. My thoughts on this if a group were to decide to take on my project would be just like if I were to outsource certain parts of my project. A developer, a marketer, an SEO guy, sales guy etc. Each would be in charge of their department and act as an advisor in...

    Group Project!

    PEOPLE 
    I have seen a few posts regarding getting a group together to focus on one project as there is so much desire and talent among the members here, but I have never seen it being auctioned. Has anyone done it? What are you opinions towards it? I have bitten off more that I can chew lately...
