    Interesting observation. Out of curiosity, what books do you consider as "the core" list? Thanks.

    I can believe that. I've been there too. Tambov, south of Moscow & Khabarovsk in eastern Siberia. I hope it works out for you.

    Sales = Validation?

    Personally I'd raise the price. The perception that your art can be had for just a buck suggests that it might not be the best product. If I thought I could put together a sound track using your instrumentals, I'd expect to pay a lot more than $1. I'm a wannabe rapper you see, and I'm gonna make...

    @eTox If I may ask, was there a business related purpose in moving to Russia? You need not answer if you're so inclined. I must admit that I'm curious just because I've been there twice and an eCommerce business seems worlds away from what I saw in Russia. But perhaps that would provide you a...

    Greed is Good

    HOT! MINDSET 
    @Selfy, @V8Bill and @Delmania have touched on excellent points here. We should be very clear in the definition of terms, particularly when it touches such a thorny social/political issue with such polarizing connotation. Growth/Yearning. Good & Evil. Greed vs Altruism. I like the middle ground...

    My Darkest Days

    That's quite a life changing experience @Supa. I'm glad you and your family have made the best of a bad situation. I was especially impressed with your mother's kindness to your father. She shared the proceeds of the sale with him, just to help him get back on his feet! That's awesome! How...

    How to start distributing a product

    I must admit that I'm not clear on this. Does this person have a physical product you can actually buy? Does he/she merely have a patent? Lots of missing information here that would be helpful to us looking in.

    Does your personal car play a role in your business?

    You wouldn't happen to know @jec1521 would you? I think he recently posted about the purchase of a $30k Wrangler...

    Does your personal car play a role in your business?

    MINDSET 
    For my 0.02 I'll have to agree with @Esquire and @Duane even though I'm coming from a totally different industry. In my experience manufacturing physical products, I've heard a lot of comments about the vehicle one might drive as well as the wardrobe. It seems like everyone in my field highly...

    Should I buy a car?

    MINDSET 
    My opinion is that you should put the ENTIRE $80k down as initial payment on loan for a $5,000,000 Lamborghini Veneno! Now that just oozes success and virility. No need to limit yourself to a paltry $30k. Oh, who am I kidding. I'm with @Vigilante on this one. Return the loaner and...

    Best ROI for Retiree with $200k cash

    INVESTING 
    Best ROI??? Spend $20 on TMF book. If you must spend $200k, buy 10k copies and give them to friends, relatives, neighbors, strangers and rock their world.

    Patents and China

    HOT! 
    @Leo Lex, There is another way. You don't want to be ripped off...then why not consider selling your idea/patent to one of the big players in the market? You & your Grandfather get compensated, they are less likely to be ripped off because they have the connections & the lawyers, and the world...

    Back in the saddle again!

    INTRO 
    I understand this sentiment. Exactly. This is how I wound up here too. I was searching for an entrepreneurial forum to join because I couldn't find anyone in real life with which to discuss this internal drive. I never read the book until after I'd joined the forum. Best wishes & Godspeed.

    Why don't you send me a couple pics/sketches of your invention? I'll not rip it off, since I've asked politely and you've responded in kind. I'll even be glad to mention your name in my Wikipedia page.

    So is helping thousands, or millions, of people who suffer from this affliction the type of change you would like to make on the world or not?

    In this forum, we tend to focus on providing value. The $$$ will follow. The extreme of that is to be ambivalent towards $$$ and focus only on providing the value. Developing a Fastlane business model that provides enormous value to an enormous number of people is like the Holy Grail around...
