    Professional Services: Fastlane Enough?

    Professional service firms get bought and sold all the time. My first Fastlane attempt was a professional services firm. If you like, you can read all about it here. It was a disaster. Much of that is for reasons beyond being in professional services (specifically, recruitment). However, IMO...

    Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Thank you - and for the recommendations! I like Ayn Rand, but I've never read any of her books. I considered picking up Atlas Shrugged once, but man, that is one dense tome. I have read many other libertarian works.

    How do you feel about 2017?

    MINDSET 
    Wow. A lot can happen in a year...when you make it happen. You don't always realise the progress you're making when you're living each day at a time. This year: Got myself out of a "business partnership" that was going nowhere Picked up three sources of self-employed income, the primary one...

    Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    There's a lesson in here about Fastlane thinking, and not only in terms of how to run (or not run) a business. I'm sure I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but at one point I used to LOVE my work. I loved everything about being a recruiter. I was on a mission, and even the 100 cold calls a...

    What Are The Best Altcoins To Look Out For In Cryptocurrencies?

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I bought into ADA a few weeks ago. That said, this should be a warning sign displayed prominently on anything crypto-mania related.

    Hello everyone from Bristol UK!

    INTRO 
    Welcome Diego! I lived in Bristol for a few years. Great city. In fact, there's only two things I miss about the UK: roads built for motorbikes, and Bristol.

    What Are The Best Altcoins To Look Out For In Cryptocurrencies?

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Nice. I'm all aboard the ADA train too. Not invested in any other crypto. I just saw it as an opportunity to buy bargain basement equity in someone else's Fastlane which promises a massive value skew. Going to leave those Cardanos right in their wallet for years and just see what happens. :cool:

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Even though I didn't discover entrepreneurship until much later, I always thought university was a scam. When I was at college (in the UK, compulsory education finishes at 16, and you can go to college from 16-18 if you want to - and it's free), noone would shut up about how I "have to go to...

    Sure, let’s blame capitalism

    RANT 
    Related: Funny, I thought productive people having their savings continually taxed and inflated away from them before they have any chance to accumulate was damaging their health. I also thought that back when real capitalism actually existed, ordinary working people managed to escape the...

    Best Entrepreneur-Friendly Places in the World for an Outdoorsy Lifestyle

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What, Fox lives in Malta now? How did I miss that? I thought I was the only one here on the rock. Yeah I'd definitely be up for that! So long as I'm not gatecrashing your party. :) Damn. It was a shame because everyone's been raving about Lisbon the last few years. I just didn't see it. Will...

    Best Entrepreneur-Friendly Places in the World for an Outdoorsy Lifestyle

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Great topic @MTF As you know we already discussed Malta. For anyone else reading, here are my thoughts on Malta. Today as it happens there's not a cloud in the sky, I have the window open in my office and am sitting here in shorts and t-shirt. Not a typical winter's day here, but apparently it...

    Renting Out a Website to Local Businesses

    HOT! MARKETING 
    The lead gen site I discussed on the call with @Andy Black was for electrical testing services (so, a niche within a niche). It was minimally profitable because electrical testing is generally a very cheap service, so I couldn't charge much for the leads. My marketplace-in-development is in...

    Found This Story: My brother killed himself because of BTC

    Crazy. And sad. I've been familiar with Bitcoin since the really early days. I've always been a believer in what cryptocurrency sets out to do. Hell, a guy I've loosely internet-known for over 15 years is one of the people behind Dogecoin. Yet, I never put a cent into Bitcoin. Until the last...

    IDEA 
    My intent is not to get you to think about the logistics of your idea. It's to get you to focus on what's actually important. Your customer is the company, the workers are your product. Your thought process is exactly backwards. If your marketing came across like your post does, your customers...

    I mostly do what I have to do. I want to do what I want to do. And yeah, there's a bunch of things I'd like to have. A fleet of motorbikes. Being able to charter a private jet because I feel like it. Homes and networks all over the world. Maybe a penthouse in Hong Kong (might need to be worth...
