    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    You make an excellent point. I don't think we talk enough about technique around here. We do talk about how to write more, how to self-publish, and how to stay motivated, but we need more discussion about the nuts and bolts that holds the mechanism together. Things like when to use perfect...

    How the Millionaire Fastlane literally changed my life.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Flyleaf, Excellent post! I just posted last week in a thread about how I'm not a fan of drop shipping, but your results have proven my argument weak (when I'm hit with logic in the form of results, I tend to listen). I do have some questions about drop shipping. I've always had an interest in...

    [Insider Call] How to Kick a$$ with Facebook Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Have you looked into Shopify? For physical products, they might be able to offer a good solution. Shopify seems to be the quickest and easiest for physical products. For single products, I like OptimizePress for Wordpress, but it sounds like that won't work for you.

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    What would I tell myself? Everything I read in TMF. Around the age of 25 (2008 or so), I started a social network for the mental health community. I folded it around a year after I started it. Looking back, the idea was great and the product could have been something, but I was event driven. I...

    THINK before you give up your job!

    Just like everything else involving money, success, and career, EVERY decision you make is either EVENT driven or PROCESS driven. You can quit a job and still be event driven, but you can also quit a job and be process driven. The problem is, just like with most things, people think about the...

    8 Steps That Will Radically Change Your Life in 30 Days or Less, Guaranteed.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Attaching real numbers to goals is extremely important, anything else is mental masturbation. One thing I am in the process of doing is losing weight. I don't need to lose much, my goal is 15 pounds and have already dropped five. I weigh myself everyday. My scale also ways in 1/10th pound...

    Facebook agrees to buy WhatsApp for $16 billion

    EXECUTION 
    Some things worth noting: -The app is expected to grow to over a billion people within the next 2 years. -Costs $1.00 per year after the first year -WhatsApp is huge in emerging markets and has been kicking FB's a$$, so FB just decided to buy the users -Facebook did not hand them 19 billion in...

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    It's a fiction book. It is a coming of age story, would fall under "young adult". It doesn't fit neatly into the big four (romance, thriller, fantasy, sci-fi), but it could be classified as a young adult romance book, as the main plot line is about sex and relationships. However, there is more...

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    One of my goals is to get Grisham to do a book blurb for me, right on the cover. I have no idea how I will make this happen (cart before the horse anyway), but he would definitely remember me. The problem is writers of that magnitude are hard to get to. It's something to keep motivation high...

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    I'm making progress. I have banged out three more chapters since my last posting, and I'm midway through a fourth. I have gotten a lot done, mostly on material that just needs to be rewritten. I've got about three or four more chapters that I have to write from scratch, which will take the...

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    So far I've got about 15,500 words written on the rewrite. Once I get the chapter I'm on finished and the next one, I'll be about a third of the way finished. It's looking to clock in around 50,000-60,000 words. I don't really think in word counts, so I have no idea whether this is a lot. I have...

    A little backstory: I grew up in a small town called Oxford, MS. If it sounds familiar to you, that's because William Faulkner lived there and wrote his books there. There was also this lawyer guy from Southaven who moved there in the 80's named Grisham (I forget his first name), who also wrote...

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    Hello all, I have a book that I am going to finish, this progress thread is meant to track the progress of it and give me some accountability and encouragement. The first draft is already finished, and has been finished for a while now. I first started writing this book back in 2008 and...

    The biggest lie that you believed for most of your life?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    "All men are created equal" "Justice is blind" "College is necessary for success" "That guy is weird." (said as if it's a bad thing. please) "Money is the root of all evil" "Security is more important than freedom" I could go on and on... George Carlin once said: "You know why they call it the...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read it, and will soon go back and read it again. I'm also going to get my dad a copy. My dad was once a Fastlane entrepreneur. He started a video rental business in the 80s (before Blockbuster and other big chains), and had a second business that bought and sold used videos (operated both...

    Fastlane Business Ideas - Need Your Input

    IDEA 
    The market I work within is one where the consumer is more cost conscious, and over the next 10 years, the largest growth in the industry will be in no contract/prepaid/"save me money" arena. Pre 2008, everything was more about quality over value. Gradually, the market is shifting toward value...

    Fastlane Business Ideas - Need Your Input

    IDEA 
    The industry I know better than any other is the wireless business (phones). I have some insight into others, but I currently manage a wireless store, and my job when I'm not selling (or dealing with employee bullshit) is basically to solve problems for customers. The wireless business is full...
