    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    Yeah, smartphones would be perfect if they weren't perfectly and expertly designed to be one of the most addictive things most people interact with. It was one thing back when blackberries allowed folks to check email on the go - it was a "stop everything, I need to check this" annoyance but...

    Super Important Update About Amazon Keywords

    MARKETING 
    Not only should you not repeat keywords but you also shouldn't use any keywords in your title. So if you have a title that says "Shiny garlic press, great for both small or large pieces" then your back-end keywords should not have any of those title words in it. Instead you can use keywords...

    Coconut oil vs canola oil

    HEALTH 
    Pretty sure canola oil pretty regularly makes the "avoid this shit" lists pretty much everywhere, and where it doesn't I've never seen it on top of the other healthier oils like avocado, coconut, olive, etc... Personally I use ghee (clarified butter) for cooking, because it makes everything...

    How $40k/year is NOTHING, you need a hustle!

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I love getting people to analyze their incomes like this (so few do) but this really just "Personal Finance 101". Honestly, California and other absurd living choices aside, $40k is a perfectly fine amount of income for most people to live on with a budget and some discipline. It'll put a roof...

    Fastlane or Unscripted? Which first?

    HOT! 
    You know, this is probably the reason that "How to Get Rich" by Felix Dennis is one of my favorite business books. It's like 70% biography and 30% advice but it all feels incredibly real and makes you really trust everything being said.

    Fastlane or Unscripted? Which first?

    HOT! 
    I have to agree. I'll tell someone that "this business book I know of changed my life" and their eyes will brighten up and they'll lean in interested but the second I say "it's call the Millionaire Fastlane" they immediately lose that spark of interest and look at me like I'm selling snake oil...

    Getting Rid of Cold Calling Anxiety Using Brute Force

    GOLD! 
    1. Keep them super short. 2. Nail the pain point. 3. Sound human 4. Separate every new thought into it's own line. NOBODY reads paragraphs. 4. End it on a question. Something like: Or something like that anyway. The trick to email communication like this is to play around with everything...

    Is there special kinda genes ?!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think the male/female aspect of all this is really silly to even be discussing. It's nonsense. Poppycock. Bullshit. The reason is simple - because this is a business forum about entrepreneurship. We're all here BECAUSE we don't want to fit into the normal models of behavior...

    PM me

    I always cringe at the "PM Me" messages on facebook. I mean, I get that not everyone wants to share intimate details with strangers online but so much shared value is being left off the table when folks do that - ESPECIALLY when there's no reason to. Referral situations make sense, or things...

    My family always tells me to get a job.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Incorrect. Try again. Here, let me show you a mature response. What people here expect and want to hear from tough love replies: ------ (In my best Tanisha voice) ----- "Thanks for this everyone. I really appreciate all the responses about hard work. I guess I got too caught up thinking about...

    Cheap camera, any recommendation?

    Agreed. I have a nice DSLR (Nikon D5000? Something like that) and honestly I use my phone for everything anyway. A good camera is fantastic if you know what you're doing and want to do "special" stuff, but your phone camera was literally designed for you to push 1 button and get great shots...

    Giving someone a copy of 'Unscripted'?

    What's your plan for starting a business if you can't afford a $7 audiobook and adamantly refuse to get a job? Also, the value in gifting books like this isn't to save anyone money. Books are cheap. Audiobooks are even cheaper. Money isn't the point. The value in gifting a book like this is...

    Welcome! That's AWESOME! You've clearly put in some hard work and hustle up to this point. Can't wait to see what you can do and share here. I think a lot of us would love to hear about anything you've learned from your previous business sales - a lot of folks here strive towards getting...

    My family always tells me to get a job.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Doesn't matter. There are lots of awesome, successful, hard working women on this forum. 1. You can't write a simple sentence. 2. My 7 year old son is also doing well with reading. I was hoping you'd take everyone's comments to heart and have the self awareness required to self-reflect on...

    I'm going to be an a$$. Sorry. Not only does everything you are posting sound lazy as hell, but now it sounds like you are trying to say it's not your fault because of your generation? Really? Your attitude screams "I hate work and don't want to do it and you can't make me". This is not a...

    My Attempt To Make $100,000 Using My Laptop (A Case Study)

    EXECUTION 
    I don't know about anyone else but I personally get a huge kick out of watching people take courses, execute them, and report on their results as a real case study for the information. I could see some awesome value coming out of this for others. Good luck!

    Super Important Update About Amazon Keywords

    MARKETING 
    Correct. Those 5 search keyword fields SAY 1,000 characters but all the news (and Amazon, after the fact, jackasses) say 250 characters. So yes, you can and should do something like this, if your product was a couch: Line 1: sofa comfy comfortable long microfiber Line 2: Red black stripes...

    Four Years of The Fastlane Forum

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I love how questions regarding "parenting and entrepreneurship" go on this forum. New members focus on the 'entrepreneur' part. As in, "how can I be my own boss properly if I'm a parent?" Then the older members jump in and focus on the 'parenting' part. As in "how can you parent properly if...
