    Thanks for writing the Fastlane - College Freshman with a dream

    Welcome! I was wondering how you got a copy of the book (my default thought was hard copy - it makes more sense now :smxF: ). Goodluck! P.S I am experiencing a lag with the quick reply aswell. It seems to disappear in advanced mode.

    Seniorpreneur Project

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Joe, I like your initiative. But I am wondering if you are focusing your efforts on senior entrepreneurship, or senior self employment? I skimmed through the first chapter of your book, and the impression I got is that you are talking more about self employment. For example: A senior person...

    I love it how straightforward and honest you guys are. I can not agree more with what has been said about excuses and "mental weight" of "complex problems". Just do it. Excited to meet you all soon! :hurray:

    Damn doubts!

    MINDSET 
    Everybody has doubts. The only way to find out if your idea can work or not is try it properly. Dont mind other peoples´ feedbacks beyond a basic level of getting new ideas, or finding general patterns in their responses. Another thing I would suggest is doing things in an organized...

    The real Detroit

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Topherea - I agree with you completly. The cops should recieve much better protection in the forms of armed guards at the entrance, bullet proof shields etc. And I am sure they will. But on a pesimistic note, this nothing compared to the potential of the "bad guys". The shooter you saw here...

    The real Detroit

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I would not be surprised if they cut the video just before the next man who could stand up and hold gun came in and made sure the shooter is dead with a few more shots, preferably in the head. It is the logical thing to do.

    The Dreaded Stairs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Nice Idea! I wonder what would be the long term influence of the musical stairs (other than lawsuites :smxF:)? After you used them for 5 days in a row, my bet is that in the 6th day you would take the electronic stairs again.

    EXECUTION 
    Update after 3 monthes: The Idea fell after finishing the website and testing. The need is still there - but the business model I wanted to apply to it does not work. Since the other business models that might work require a much bigger investment on web & software development and marketing...

    HOT! 
    I dont think that levying an extra charge to those who are not staying at firesky makes sense. It is like regressive taxes =) I booked my stay at the days inn 3-4 monthes ago before booking trouble appeared at firesky. Unfortunately I can not cancel the reservation, but I dont mind selling...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished the book during a vacation in Mexico :smxF: I enjoyed the read, and I already bought a copy to my brother and shipped it overseas. I think that the things I enjoyed the most were the down to earth examples and metaphors, and the open, honest approach. Another thing I really enjoy...

    Expedia on how one extra data field can cost $12m

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thanks for the info guys. I had no idea things like heat maps even existed for websites! I think this might be a "new" niche business opportunity. More and more website owners have zero/little knowledge about coding(with all the CMS trend that is picking up) and advanced marketing tools. I...

    Not Made in the USA.

    If you can't beat them, own them :smxF: As long as outsourcing makes senses for every business owner in a capitalistic way of thinking, I can't see much that can be done about it. Might aswell own the businesses who profit from the outsourcing, and try to lever the money into new industries...

    Your listings on other companies websites:ex: Powered by ______

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Specificly for this company - loopnet, I think that their revenue model is based on lead generation to brokers. If you search for a property (through their site, or the powered search tool), you have a decent link to contact the listing broker. I also noticed some referall information in the...

    HUGE Fastlane biz opportunity . . .

    HOT! 
    Great idea Russ! What kind of revenues are we looking for? Is it tens of millions, hundereds? Two quick ideas: - Set up an internet marketing firm that specializes in politics (targeting the regional voters, interactive ads etc). (probably fitted more to tens of millions rather than hunderds)...
