    How did YOU find "Fastlane"?

    HOT! 
    Like so many before me, I was google searching for info on starting a business and related forums. Found this forum and then the book.

    Hard work is irrelevant

    EXECUTION 
    I read the OP article and then found the powerpoint from Netflix. That was an excellent read. I'm keeping a copy of that ppt for future review. Thanks!

    Creepy clown trend

    The news media does it every day to get viewers/listeners. Politicians use fear every couple years to try to motivate people to vote in certain ways. I guess you're right...they are deplorable.

    Creepy clown trend

    Halloween is coming up soon. Sell variants of the scary clown outfits, masks, makeup, etc. Sell T-Shirts with no-clown motifs, or pro-clown versions, or both. T-Shirts with quotes about clowns, John Wayne Gacy, Ronald McDonals, circus clowns, rodeo clowns, etc. How about "this red clown for...

    Biographies or companies that ascended during depressions or recessions?

    BOOKS 
    "Good to Great" by Jim Collins examines several companies that experienced exponential growth, as compared with competitors that did not. The author(s) cover roughly the last 100 years and discuss the performance during recessions as well. It's an excellent read.

    Welding/Motorcycle Shop

    EXECUTION 
    I've never done it like that, but I've only just begun myself. Haha. If the other LLC allows you to get more business with the alternate name, what do you do when they show up at your home shop? You can't just take down the motorcycle shop sign and put up your welding sign. If you must do both...

    Saving while building ?

    MINDSET 
    The Richest Man in Babylon encourages you to get a JOB and merely save 10% for future prosperity. As @MJ_Demarco pointed out, that is the typical Slowlane dogma. On this forum, we turn that philosophy upside down. Like @Andy Black said, we are focused on building "money tree" businesses and...

    There are also a number of members here that could use your 3D modeling & printing capability. Perhaps something in that niche geared towards startups??? I'm curious myself at your rates...

    What to ask a manufacturer before placing an order?

    EXECUTION 
    What's the downside of selling the solo product? Low sales volume? That's still better than waiting and having no sales volume. I have not sold on AZ, so admittedly, I'm not very knowledgeable about any other downsides or costs there. I doubt it would hurt your brand to have the solo product...

    Don't be afraid of negative feedback, it's telling you what isn't working with your audience. It's not a personal attack, so please don't take it personally. (That being said, there are always a few jerks on any forum, you have to just figure out who they are and take them with a grain of salt.)...

    Anyone know of booking 3rd party booking software?

    I've heard of an interesting limo booking website that is setup somewhat similar to this. Now where did I read about that one...

    Thought I was on the median strip - probably just a slowlaner

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Hi @Warr and welcome to the forum. It's a great place to be. With your income, you have a great head-start over many startups. Look at your current situation as a positive one. Let's say you make "a few hundred thousand a year", wow that was hard to type. Let's say you make $250k and you manage...

    Self-chosen prison as a doctor in urology

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hi @Aryana1988 and welcome to the forum. You've received some great advice already and I don't have much more to add. I'd just like to mention an business model alternative to your current plan of working at a hospital. I don't know how the medical industry is structured in the Netherlands, but...

    What needs to have happened for you to be happy with progress?

    I happen to LOVE that quote. There is no reason to judge all business by the actions of the few bad actors. The majority of business owners have provided untold value to the lives of others. Sounds like you've lost the joy in your work, but I could be mistaken. Either way, you've found the...

    @Being747 you have been through the fire in response to your 1st post, but you haven't responded negatively or with insults. That says something to me. Thus I chose to check out your blog and I don't yet see any of the typical guru sales pitch BS. :hurray: I've read some of the blog, and I'll...
