    Vent about the fastlane formula

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I agree with alot of posters on here, so I won't waste space repeating what they said. I just wanted to comment on one thing that others didn't entirely flesh out.... If you are already upset before you even embarked on this journey, you will be sorely disappointed when you "make it" and...

    Is it wise to promote a product which you haven't created yet to see if the public is interested or not

    EXECUTION 
    I always chuckle when I read advise like this. I dont mean to pick on you specifically and this is more generally to all the people that bring up enforcement action. We can talk about and discuss the morality of dry testing. Everyone may have a different point of view with reasonable arguments...

    The New US Tax Plan and Your New 50% Biz Partner (the US Gov)

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I didnt say c Corp isn't a corporation, just that most here have corporations and llc that are taxed as S-corps and not C-corps. Don't believe me, start a poll. S-corps provide the same full legal protection for owners, under the circumstances that most small businesses are run here. (Not 250...

    The New US Tax Plan and Your New 50% Biz Partner (the US Gov)

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I would imagine that very little fastlaners are C-corps. I would guess almost all are corporations or llc's taxes as s-corps. So these new capital gains taxes would kill the profit from a company sale above 1m. Anyone know if they are planning on doing retroactive to January 2021? Everything I...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    So, just to clarify.... Do you believe this "temporary fluctuation" applies to things like current housing prices as well (Phoenix is up ~20% since pandemic started alone) and there will be a large correction or are you just referring to things like lumber/steel/etc. Your point on Mercedes...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    As a side note, everyone is using the word hyperinflation, but I really hope that it's either out of ignorance of its meaning or just hyperbole (I too say hyperinflation in convo!). Real hyperinflation is 50% inflation A MONTH. Not on just a few goods like lumber because of supply issues, but on...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Geberally, when you talk, I listen! I do have a few things to question about your assessments on this thread though. While supply/demand works well in fields that are very commodified, I'm not sure I agree it may apply to this spike. Atleast not in the generally understood way (since...

    Is a market crash coming? Or massive hyper-inflation?

    HOT! 
    While terrible for those countries economies, wouldn't this be a great thing for the USA? Not only will that make the USA more comparatively productive, continuing its dominance, but it seems like it would tone down any coming usd inflation since compared to other countries we would be less...

    Amazon customer analytics software?

    Amazon has been one of our largest revenue streams when selling our brand of personal care goods and we are looking for ways to optimize our campaigns and customer knowledge. Does anyone know of software that will help sift through tens of thousands of orders of customer data to extract...

    We are a luxury personal care brand going on a decade of sales and we are one of the top brand names in our small niche. Throughout the years we have advertised in many places conventionally and that hasn’t had great results. Of course we recognize that conventional advertising is about long...

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Just like with most other real estate, there is a good amount of work and risk involved. If you start hiring people to manage things, you are cutting into already not great profits. I can't speak specifically for commercial, but I have some experience with residential. For it to make sense, you...

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Good points. I think your opinion is a perfectly fine assessment and is a realistic take on the situation. As I mentioned before..even if I sell my business, I will likely start making money elsewhere with my "new" free time and not just sipping mimosas at the beach. In other words, I will find...

    I vehemently disagree with your "99%" comment and that is in fact the point, and the problem that I am addressing with my thread. The irony here is strong and I don't know how you can read this thread and come away with your conclusion. If you are saying the 99% then you either are...

    Everything you just mentioned is just psychological relief. Substitute income? What are you talking about. Look at my previous posts to see where I am coming from. To actually effectively substitute income, you would need to either 1. Have a much larger principle than most people realize; To...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I was not looking for business ideas, which is basically what most peoples advice ended up being. My point was that public rhetoric is that "money makes money". Purposefully or not, that is also an idea that Unscripted gives (to some readers atleast). The idea that once you make enough money...

    Until the landscape changes and it can change gradually or suddenly. Sears too was once a stable powerhouse if I remember correctly. Buying a house used to be considered a"foolproof investment" as well. Until it wasn't...in ONE DAY. Don't get me wrong. I understand what you are saying. I agree...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    There is no free lunch. I won't get in an argument about each type of investment and it's risks. But yield in general is directly tied to the chance of loss (or some other cost, like opportunity cost, as an example). Period. It's not always a perfect correlation, but a free open market get's it...

    Which is besides any point since as High Yield Investments, they are inherently more risky and likely to have the investor lose more money at any on point, than normal investments.
