    Not that I know, but we could always make something happen ;) I suggest you post here again a week or two before you get here, and we can probably rally up some troops.

    Launching oKickstarter: A premium dress sock that can confidently be worn from the office to the gym

    EXECUTION 
    How about trying this to give the campaign a boost: Referral Marketing Tool for eCommerce & Crowdfunding I haven't tried them, but I see campaigns using them now and the model sounds good at least in theory. Basically you can utilize the concept of affiliate marketing by rewarding every pledger...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Haha... oh man, yep the obligatory question. It's that, or some chatty Kathy who thinks I am super interested in hearing all about her kids/grandkids, her diet regimen, or her current boyfriend troubles. I just want my haircut, woman. But thanks for the tip. Good point that if you start careful...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Tell us more.. I have actually pondered this. Did you learn from watching Youtube videos or something? Whenever I go get my hair cut, it seems I get a different person every time, and they're never consistent. I even bring photos of myself I took after a very nice haircut one time, but they...

    Launching oKickstarter: A premium dress sock that can confidently be worn from the office to the gym

    EXECUTION 
    Great to see you've already pretty much reached your goal! :) I'd suggest doing a Reddit AMA too. Either in the entrepreneur subreddit, or one of the clothing/fashion ones (but choose wisely). As I'm sure you know, the Reddit crowd can be very fickle and anti-corporate, but if you come there...

    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    One thing you left out is how much time you have to invest. Or to put it this way - how many hours can you devote per day or per week if you sat down and either scaled your current business much further, or took on a new project? It seems you also sort of answered your own question about the...

    Are you interested in a Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, or Texas area Meetup?

    MEETUPS 
    There's a lot of us (30 or more people) here in and around the Phoenix AZ metro area (and surrounding cities) and we do occasionally meet. If you're making a trip this way, let us know here in this thread and it shouldn't be hard to find a group that could get together.

    Commandment of control question.

    MINDSET 
    Certrainly, no human has ever had full control over anything. Even the mightiest kings and emperors are only as powerful and strong as their own health, and never immune to accidents or "acts of God" (natural disasters for example). So yeah, none of us are in full control of our lives. I could...

    Habits of Successful Entreprenuers

    MINDSET 
    Actually having a routine is critical. Treat your day to day as if you were working a job. You're the boss of course, but don't get tempted to slack off. With your business being your "job" - you go to "work" every morning, at your desk, at a pretty regular time - Monday-Friday For me, I get...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Great thread, @Kak ! Any tips for us living in a hot climate like Arizona? I don't mind the heat here, but I do feel like it limits my options to how I can dress. Not always practical to go out looking nice in a suit. I guess different textiles and materials could make a big difference.

    Commuting: The scourge of the sidewalk/slowlane

    MINDSET SLOWLANE RANT 
    Yes... commuting was the nail in the coffin for me, and looking back - it what was what drove me into wanting out of the 9-5. Mind-numbing meetings and corporate culture was bad enough, don't me wrong. But spending all that time on trains and trams five days a week (even though yes, I could...

    What website to look for conferences/workshops in the USA?

    Depending on what state/city you're going to, many places have a chamber of commerce that keep calendars and lists of such events. For instance, here is the one for Scottsdale near where I live: Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce Look up <CITY> + "chamber of commerce" and I'm sure you will find...

    5 Step Guide To Hiring a Rockstar VA To Handle Your Business

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    Nice write-up man, and basically exactly what I did when I hired my first ones from OnlineJobs.ph a few years ago. I've been recommending that site to others here ever since. And yes, hiring too late is a mistake that is easy to make. A lot people are surprised how affordable quality VA's can...

    What to do with my domain name?

    Looks like you don't have Google Analytics or a Facebook pixel installed on the site. I would get those on there asap to understand your visitor behavior better, and possibly take advantage of retargeting later.

    Hey! I'm a 19 year old guy

    INTRO 
    Nice to see more young people your age joining here too. I have two sons around your age (18 and 20) and they both have the TMF book (even signed by MJ, yay!) but they are still on the fence on the whole entrepreneurship thing despite their dad being one, lol. Sounds like you have already had a...

    eCommerce through Personal Website Vs Amazon

    I second what biophase said - but assuming you do have a product in mind already - the product and its market will better determine the 'where' your sales channels should be. And for a lot of products you can definitely do both, although it's usually best to not have Amazon control the majority...

    What to do with my domain name?

    You could always sell it to this guy; https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/the-well-defined-man-authentic-attraction.79804/unread ;) But no, joking aside - if you're gonna go based on the connotation of the name itself, to me it leans more towards dating tips and advice rather...

    Textbook example of lack of market validation, from 1996

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Lol... my son showed me this the other day. We often talk about market validation on this forum, and here is a great example of why you should do just that. This guy invented (and I use that term very loosely) an email "machine" back in the mid 90's that he thought was going to revolutionize...
