    Is drop shipping a profitable business ?

    HOT! 
    I am developing a drop shipping business. I am not interested in being small time. I want to make high six figures. I am not going to store things or ship things. I am going to RUN a business, but I am going to deliberately NOT work in the business, as much as possible anyway. Sure the...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Wow, that's a pretty steep fee. We pay $250 a month, but we get a heated pool, tennis courts, lawn care, snow removal, trash removal, and outside maintenance. They're repainting right now, in fact. At that price, people still scream. Good luck with that fee structure. I know it would not...

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    WHAT? Poisonous? Can you give me some details on this? Stuff like THIS really pisses me off! I understand profits, but this crosses the line wayyyyyy too much. Do something for the good? Great point. But so damn sad that our lives are worth more to their bottom line than actually being...

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    You are right. I watched a documentary on Buffet and lost a lot of respect for him. His office is a 5 minute drive from his home, and there is a McDonalds on the way. He stops and gets a breakfast sandwich which costs him $1.61. He always has the exact change and goes through the drive-thru...

    Think Big, and Then Think Bigger Than That.

    GOLD! 
    True entrepreneurs don't need the confidence that 4 long years gives them. Many don't need the knowledge either. Not to say that the knowledge isn't valuable. I have taken several Youtube courses, if you want to call them that, this week, and my knowledge has been brought up to speed super...

    This, of course, is a super heavy subject. But it is so in tuned to what I think about, that I just have to delve into it. It really deserves a book on it, but let's go ahead here anyway ~ I entered a field as a newcomer, and it was a pretty complex field: video production. In very short...

    I've worked with some of the most capable and brilliant people in the world. Yes, there are certainly people that "live" their work. They are so absorbed into their work completely, they need a way to "make a dent in the world" as your posted video said. And there are people that are opposite...

    We're in the same boat brother. We have so much in common, it's scary. But in a good way... I too come here so I can find people of the same mindset. It's a rare thing. I don't have one single friend or family member that thinks big like I do. They're all content to work, pay bills, spend...

    You are lucky because the market is there for the taking. You can double your income by just stepping sideways. I'm amazed at the "producers" that don't do this. I'm hoping to get a spread in the future and raise some angus. I like the idea of them being grass fed, and that's so much less...

    Your apologies? You're sorry? Here's the truth, if you can HANDLE the truth... This forum feeds my brain, and that gives me the fuel to push ahead into areas I not only do not know much about, but am also scared to being in uncharted waters. I have my favorite people here that I read their...

    When I was in fifth grade there was an event on how to make money after school. Being dirt poor, this went right to the top of my list. We were also promised a free gift just for attending. We met in a school bus to hear about this great opportunity. It was for a paper route delivering...

    2019 Fastlane Summit: Preliminary Speaker Call

    I'll give my talk right now. This really has to be at least 3 days, with 45-60 min per speaker. Wayyyy too many great posts here to cram into only two days. I'm done. Thank you. I'm here all week. (That was a lot easier than I expected, even if it was pretty short...)

    Selling Window Cleaning biz, need help

    I think your friend should get OUT of the business, but not in the way he is considering... After 20 years, he should not be washing windows anymore. Your friend has a great opportunity to own a BUSINESS. By your brief description, it sounds like he, instead, has created a JOB for himself...

    ^^^^ This. You are living the dream. My plan exactly, times six. Having a bunch of ATMs that run themselves is a great plan. Better than looking for that one hit wonder big win that you have to work 100 hours a week at. Triple what you are doing, and run it from your laptop while you are...

    Well Inspire, I've given this a lot of thought. I am going to take you on a ride you won't forget, so fasten your seat belt. Here we go. You are at a VERY important crossroads in your life. I know that because I was there, and I made a leap of faith. And it worked out great - not. I wish...

    Always love your posts @SteveO. I was not looking for this, but when I found it, I knew it had to go here. It can really be a mantra to live your entire life by. I have no doubt your success is due in large part to exactly what this says. Mine too. So, to affirm what we know to be true, I...

    I just gave that book away to a friend that has no clue to finances. It will be solid gold for him. Although Ramsey has some great advice, I disagree with many of his approaches. One glaring example is his insistence on a 15 year mortgage. Of course you will save money in the long run. But...

    THANK YOU for the excellent review. Sold! I've been meaning to pick that Musk book up, but I'm not into biography types of books as much as the practical how to business analysis books. I particularly liked your quote about TV, as I don't watch TV, and most of the people I know think that's...

    Well, to be fair, your posts do lean towards sarcasm. Personally, I like that - but that's me. I like direct in your face, don't sugar coat it, answers. The reason I like your posts mini (hey, that has a sarcastic tone doesn't it?) is I consider you a realist. You are a get it done kind of...
