    Dreaming.. Travelling and building or running a online business - well now you can.

    It's actually more than that with the housing credit ($30k-60k extra depending on where you live). Make sure you have a good accountant and @GlobalWealth expert. Roam is cool, but I don't like the lack of freedom - which is one of the biggest reasons I travel. For example, I lived in Bali for 7...

    She said "you are so lucky"

    Being "lucky" is the ultimate excuse for "slowlaners" to explain why you, or anyone else, could be at a position that you're in. On my travels, I've been told over and over again that I'm so lucky to be able to travel and "work" from anywhere in the world. I actually correct them now, as...

    Just start something - anything. I love this quote: “The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.”

    Where do you buy your barcodes?

    This is not correct. You don't need a Tax ID to sell on Amazon. You can sell on Amazon using your SSN. You don't need a business name. However, it's always smarter to sell through a business entity. If you're just testing a new product or business, you might better off starting fast and then...

    All Work No Play?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Shooting, surfing, scuba diving, traveling (traveling constantly, over 12+ countries last year), dating, watches (if you can call that a "hobby" - more like an expensive obsession), photography. I've done a lot of stuff, but I rarely can focus on more than one hobby at once. My favorite of the...

    Why you should avoid business partners at all costs

    Multiple Businesses

    I have always taken the approach of laser focus, and that has always worked well for me. If you haven't started one successful business, what makes you think you can start three? I would rather have one business netting me $1m/year, then 10 small businesses netting me $30k a year each. I'm in...

    Does Anyone Else Feel Bad for Everyone Without a Fastlane Mindset?

    RANT 
    No. The world needs employees. We need employees. Some people are perfectly happy in their job and position in their life. I used to feel bad when I see someone mopping the floors or collecting garbage. But you know what? They are probably happy just to have a job. If you can reframe your...

    China + Asia in October? Canton Fair + Travel.

    MEETUPS 
    Just got into my Air BNB in Guangzhou. So who's actually here at Canton? Post up. If some of you showed up, I'll find a place for an impromptu meetup.

    Amazon Made Changes To Review Policy

    HOT! 
    Not necessarily. Amazon has already steeply discounted discounted reviews. They barely count any more for the product rating, where the full price reviews do. Try not to follow what everyone else does in most Amazon groups. They are usually not the brightest minds when it comes to business, IMHO.

    $500,000+ revenue on Shopify!

    NOTABLE! 
    While I agree that selling a yoga mat without some sort of huge competitive advantage is foolhardy, but dismissing products because they are "too much to ship via FBA" sounds straight out of the AMS course bullshit. I have friends who sell things that are too "fragile" or too "heavy" for FBA...

    Iphone accessories

    No, no, NO! Why would you ever start a business with this goal? You are basically saying, my goal is to make very little money. What!?

    Biophase - Introducing My Ecommerce/Amazon Business Coaching Program

    MARKETPLACE 
    Ugh...this is such a common misconception! You won't find many articles online about this, but maybe I should write one? Most of the location independent crowd, in my opinion, gets it a little wrong. They look for services, usually, that they can perform abroad. I think the smarter way to go...

    Blogging for Profit (With Legendary GOLD Follow Up Posts)

    GOLD! 
    I went back and highlighted every time you said "I" or "my" to illustrate a point: you are in a consumption mindset. You are a consumer. You need to shift your mindset to that of a producer. @Vigilante nailed it: the market does not care who you are. The market does not care about what you've...

    Giving Importing a Second Chance

    SOURCING 
    Thanks. Remember, there is no progress without "failure." Your second time - you'll be smarter. I would like to add to my quote...that no, you don't need to reinvent the wheel, but after spending some time with @biophase a couple weeks ago, that adding a significant improvement in the...

    You are correct, that's what he does. I've met Pat Flynn - he's a super nice guy in person, but he's very smart and know's what he's doing. In my honest opinion, starting a blog just to "make money" is not going to get you very far financially.

    Professional Poker Player looking to enter the Fastlane.

    INTRO 
    Interesting intro. Poker intrigues me a lot - there are a lot of parallels with poker and business. Where in Thailand are you? I have spent quite a bit of time there. I'm heading to Bali next week. If our paths cross, let's meet for a coffee/drink.

    I don't know what city I want to live in

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I disagree. Where you lives has a LOT to do with your quality of living. Struggling to make $7k/month to scrape by in New York City? Move somewhere where $2000/month can make you feel like a king. Being in a bigger city with high population can increase the chances of you succeeding...

    China + Asia in October? Canton Fair + Travel.

    MEETUPS 
    I'll already be in Asia, so very likely I'll be at Canton. Definitely interested in an Air BNB. I've been to most of the countries you've mentioned, but I'd be interested in going to Hong Kong and the Philipines. Let's make this happen for people who are serious.
