    Burnt out affiliate millionaires? Fastlane or no?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's business. As iAmAttila points out, you can build systems to mitigate the losses. Relationships too. I worked in a manufacturing co for a long time, and mostly in technical sales and marketing. Competitors can come along and take your "win" just as you think you're going to get paid...

    Burnt out affiliate millionaires? Fastlane or no?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I got in to AM last year, and really poured the gas on it. I loved the fact statistics and testing were the keys because I think my background gave me some advantages others didn't have, plus I had the money to burn while I learned (and considered it a cheap education). I quit because it's...

    The Value of Things (And Why I Don't Drive a Lambo)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Two years ago we got a call from a neighbor we didn't know saying they had my dogs. The dogs were in the house when we left, and they'd gone in and gotten them out. (luckily the one that wouldn't have permitted such a thing was crated because he'd been sick) So...after asking the guy to...

    The next gold rush - IoT (internet of things)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Exactly, jon.a. I don't do online banking because...a friend worked in banking security and told me security basically comes from the number of transactions. (!) IoT has extraordinary security challenges, and until that gets much much better I put as few things online as possible.

    If You Have Savings In Your 20′s, You’re Doing Something Wrong.

    HOT! 
    Debt reduction is "savings" by the "official" metrics of the government. We tried to outearn our spending until about our 30's when we woke up about a million in debt (student loans and mortgage over $900k of that), in spite of quadrupling earnings in about 5 years. Hitting that magical 1...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    West Coaster so that was early in the AM for us. I was living with a couple of guys, we'd get up early, turn on CNBC, maybe do a bit of day trading before the morning commute. I got out of the shower to lots of quiet cussing and my roommates standing in front of the TV with a picture of one of...

    How Do I Market a Mobile App?

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    Acquisition cost metrics are driven by your customer value (or LTV). There is no absolute number.

    Doing something just to please the parents ?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Remember this first, your parents are trying to help you with their best thinking. REALITY CHECK- Most professional racing drivers start when they are 3 or 4 yrs old. If you have no racing experience at 18, you are WAY behind, not just in skills, but just as importantly, connections. I had an...

    The final solution to all "I have some money what do I do?" threads.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I see MMM as discussing defense, Millionaire Fastlane as discussing offense. One keeps you from losing the Superbowl, one wins the Superbowl.

    I want to live X but how's the internet speed?

    We moved to the country and this was a MAJOR headache. I'd done research a level deeper (calling the ISPs in the area with the physical address) and they lied. When I type in my zip to the link, one of the ISPs listed is no longer in business, and the other quoted speeds are mostly not...

    Who's to say college is the best days of your life?

    PEOPLE 
    I had some fun in college, but I have had one hell of a lot more fun afterward. Even the partying was better when I cared about such things. (go party on an expense account in Rappongi, and tell me I'm wrong) Also, the fun and adventure should not end due to wife and kids. Life should always...

    Margaritaville (I've Bought A Golf-Course!)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Yes, he still owns it. I have no idea on the particulars of why he bought the equipment beyond the course was a mess and needed work. If you'd like I can get his contact info for you and make the connection, shoot me a PM.

    Margaritaville (I've Bought A Golf-Course!)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I have a cousin who bought a golf course that had a similar story (overgrown/disinterested owners). He re-habbed it, and in the process bought a hydroseeding rig since the cost was high and service not so good. That accidentally became a more profitable business than the course. :)
