    It's been a long time since I've replied or been active on this forum, but I've been continuously reading and researching in the background. I joined this forum at 17 years old, and I have discovered so much in 3 years... *End Mushy Reunion* ---------------------------------- I have a product...

    Timing the Mobile App Development Firm

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    On my first actual entrepreneurial adventure since I've began, things have become more genuine (and scary) then ever before in my years of trying to create value. For the first time ever, MY IDEA IS BACKED AND PROPELLED BY A FORMED TEAM! That in itself brings about a new and intensified...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've been experiencing this over the last 6 months. I have been doing a lot of research around the technologies required for the app functionality I am shooting for, and anybody that can learn the majesty that is ACTUAL Programming within a couple of months should be put on the news. I've been...

    Is This Idea/Business/Blah Blah Fastlane? (Uh, no, it isn't.)

    GOLD! IDEA MINDSET 
    This is probably one of the biggest traps new wantrepreneurs, like me, fall into. This new lifestyle demands new criteria, and we focus on the wrong things, assuming that its not how we are doing it thats wrong, but what we are doing thats wrong. This post helped me out a lot. Thank you MJ!

    The 4 Necessary Components to Board Rooms

    BOOKS 
    On my mission to read as many books as I can, I stumbled across one particular book that brought the psychological perspective of how humans interact irrationally, and how we can change that. While this book, Sway: The Irresistable Pull of Irrational Behavior by Ori and Rom Bafman, covers a wide...

    Never stop reading MJ's book. This is a lesson I've learned over the course of the new year. You forget. You mold. You forget more. That headwind that MJ discusses is true, and it does more than hold you down and keep you from going Fastlane. Each and every day that you live surrounded by people...

    A niche is just a particular tweak or improvement that you can find in a market. If I'm looking at the desk chair market, and I see that "Hey, why does this chair not do this?" or "This chair is causing this problem, I wish I could fix it," then you may have just found a niche. Be careful not...

    Thank you, Vig! I think it is pretty powerful feeling that power, that every project I take on is a new entity in the world that I have to mold and create. With me being so young, I'm pissing myself with excitement. While I'm on here, I wanted to spill a little bit about my emotions during this...

    One problem that I am finding is where to take the product that we are buying. When you invent something, or create a product, you have like many different ways you can go about making money with it. Should I take @Vigilante 's advice pursue doing some sort of licensing with companies in the...

    The prototype is finished! We are making a second prototype now and adjusting on measurements to make it better/safer/more efficient. It took my partner and I quite some time to really construct the board, because we were using methods in the invention that even his father had not known of...

    Prototype is measured and entered into the CAS blueprinting software. Everything adds up. Starting Monday, the production of our first product is beginning. Currently working at oDesk to gather the funds to expand the production. It isn't easy, and the money is hard to come by, but I'm making...

    With college coming to and end, I finally have the free time to spend on my book trilogy to really get my passive income rolling. I've been so eager to begin writing again, and I can't wait to see how my sales change once I have three books in the market and I have a stronger fan base to...

    Diary of Opening A New Business

    When you finally find that niche to pursue, where do you focus your money to ensure that your business is marketed effectively? Especially in industries with a high bar to entry, you're invisible until you manage to attract attention. What different steps do you take to make sure your business...

    To everyone that has replied, I thank you, because as a young human being, I really needed some input on this whole topic. I have read every single reply, and @RichKid I made no intention for this to start drama. My purpose in this post was aimed at the fact that I didn't understand why college...

    This website stands as one of my greatest assets in terms of resources, knowledge, information, and motivation to get myself up out of bed each morning and create something new for the world. However, I believe a lot of people have misrepresented MJ's philosophy on the terms of education. It's...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    @Vigilante The problem that has been running through my head that keeps convincing me to go to college for business is the fact that I know nothing about the workings of a business. How could I start a business, or even plan a business without proper knowledge of how it all works? I mean, I've...

    How many well-written books does it take to really start making freebies bump your other books. And also, do you think every book published by you will help each other in sales, or is it only between genres or its series.

    I've spent this entire week doing a lot of writing on my second book, and setting up a Facebook page for my book to begin getting a following of my work. I've gotten past the (temporary) failure of my first book to move on to bigger and better things. First tip as a writer: keep writing like...

    It's interesting you said that @Selfy ! That has been one of my biggest (And most thankful) challenges to over come since I published the book. Drum roll please... NO! It's an incredible eye opener to truly humble yourself to what your book will really do. In my first week, I made about 3...
