    I'm actually starting a small one. It's GREAT if you don't have much money to start with I'll tell you that. You do, however, need to basically become an "expert" as best you can (I just used google and youtube, don't tell my customers LOL). I also personally chose something I already know stuff...

    Does it add value?

    MINDSET 
    I kinda agree with this. I couldn't work on my business on a long roadtrip so I just listened to MJ's videos the whole time. Nothing like hearing him yell in my ear "stop being an action faker!" Those vids entertained me the whole time hahaha (check out FastlaneMJ on Youtube if you haven't). I...

    UPDATE I have finished that dynamic sports car painting. Now that I no longer plan to do that idea, I'm going to try to sell it cheap through Facebook/twitter/word of mouth. Maybe I'll even make prints and sell those if people like it. I can also use this to judge if people like the sports car...

    25 y.o. dropout buys an R8 with a minifastlane business

    EXECUTION 
    This video has an interesting take. He almost works in reverse of MJ's idea. Instead of finding a need, then finding out how to do it, then teaching himself that skill, he pursued something he was interested in, taught himself and became good at it even after failure (because he had an interest...

    EXECUTION 
    UPDATE I'm literally finding my idea already being done left and right today. There's a guy who's doing exactly what I was going to do, both consult and create. He's using "real" paintings of course. I may have to play the game of "pretend to be an inquisitive customer but really be a...

    Oops lol. Well this link might clear some confusion. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/consulting-painting.52254/ I'm totally up for whatever this idea branches off into; it's all up in the air right now. If you think it's a good idea/see any opportunities for need solving, let...

    MARKETING 
    If you mean "why isn't now a good time to start" I am starting. :P I actually have a test person as my first client that I'll get ideas from/find a method and then make an actual website. This will be a service based business (job) to start with to get some immediate income. I have a progress...

    9 Leverage Points To Grow Your Business

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for your detailed reply. If it helps, it's under "other people's stuff." I plan to have a website up and running before all this, but I'm thinking of referring customers to people (other artists I approve of) who can do things I can't, and then request maybe 5% of the sale for bringing...

    MARKETING 
    @Kung Fu Steve This is GREAT! You may just have provided me with a solution with the idea of "get a cut for referring to other people." :) I actually have a question about that. From your experience, do you have more success offering this to people with less money but could use the advertising...

    An important reminder that isn't much talked about in the book

    Thus the keyword "serious." It could even be as simple as looking into trademarks. I prefer to at least keep a preventative lookout though. If you have a physical building that gets hit with a natural disaster and have no insurance, it could be a financial disaster. Edit: Also since all I've...

    An important reminder that isn't much talked about in the book

    http://www.businessknowledgesource.com/smallbusiness/the_technicalities_of_running_a_small_business_025397.html The second paragraph is right on. MJ mentions stuff about which business you should consider (like an LLC), but I don't remember anything being mentioned about looking out for other...

    Still Too Confused

    I had this same exact problem at first. The book has a great overview, but it doesn't tell you all the technical stuff. He even says "how I did it isn't important." I had this great idea and tried looking into it, but I knew nothing about business at all so I decided to forgo it despite everyone...

    What was your first job?

    HOT! 
    You are right, in this economy you can't really be picky haha. That's why I ended up working in the deli at Piggly Wiggly at one point (ew hairnets). Money is money though. My VERY first job was technically babysitting at age 11 but my first official one was a cashier at Kohl's (about 18 years...

    My Idea was stolen to a T (Lesson Learned) giggrabber

    IDEA RANT 
    Just wondering, should we all be getting a patent as soon as we start working on our idea or does it have to be more "official?"
