    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    You're on a board that talks about how to build valuable companies that add value. If your motto is "Build it and they will come", chances are that you won't be a fit here because our motto here is "Listen to the market and add value". Read the book. It'll give you a fresh perspective on...

    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    I'm going to have to disagree with you about the forum members. Sure, there are probably a huge chunk of people looking for get-rich schemes, but they usually don't contribute much to the forums after about a few weeks because they realize no one will give them an easy plan on how to become...

    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    There's a thread somewhere on the forums or the Insiders where one of the more successful posters lists all the business models. There aren't that many. You should start by looking there. I believe it was in a gold thread somewhere. A big thing around here is about "adding value". That's a...

    Are kick scooters still popular to sell on craigslist?

    MARKETING 
    I see them around college campuses still, but not as much as when they first came out.

    The self help niche.

    There's money to be made everywhere. The reason I'm not going into the self-help niche is because I don't think I have enough experience in one specific thing to provide quality information rather than just extra noise.

    What do you guys think of Jordan Belfort?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he isn't being manipulative...but he very well could be.

    What do you guys think of Jordan Belfort?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Meeting people face-to-face or anything a bit more personal and sincere would be better than a public statement. It's not practical, but I think that all flew out the window when he screwed them over. I'm pretty sure all the salesmanship in the world wouldn't help you if the person wants to see...

    Dealing with hate?

    MINDSET 
    I just try to imagine that every douche canoe hater has a terrible hole in their life that they're not getting met...so they feel the need to bring others down to make their own life seem better. If I think of it that way, I either laugh and ignore them or pity them. If they're a random...

    What are you struggling with right now?

    HOT! 
    I was pretty much at this point also a month ago. What I did was I got a job. It's totally not what most people would do, but for me...it helped me become more productive and social again and reminded me why I wanted to be in the Fastlane (working for another person sucks, no matter what the...

    Can I scale these?

    Wide? Not sure I'm following. Are you talking about how much of the market you can potentially capture? There should be figures online where you can find your market size online. In any case, for the recycling there are some online electronics recycling site that you can probably replicate that...

    Can I scale these?

    I was under the impression that most things could be scaled nowadays.

    How to Answer the 'What Do You Do for a Living' Question

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    The best advice/comments come from the ones that've never done anything close. I'm no success by any means, but even when people find out I'm trying to start a business, they look at me like I told them I've got 5 weeks to live...

    $2,000 is definitely awesome. But imagine what you could get if you put a little more effort into development and got traffic to the site.

    How to Answer the 'What Do You Do for a Living' Question

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    When I wasn't working, the conversation usually went "What are you up to/What do you do?" "I do nothing." "Nothing?" "Yep. Just chillin." "....ok..." Changes the subject rather quickly or they leave awkwardly.

    Good find. You could develop a simple site on WP with plugins for sure, but I don't think it'd be viable to try to create something like Fitocracy on WP.

    Quit my Job. Starting My First eCommerce Business.

    EXECUTION 
    Been a while since I updated: 1. Dropped the dropshipping idea, like I mentioned before. It kept bothering me because it was something I wanted to work, but I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't really a good idea. 2. Found a new product on Amazon. I had products before, but it was...

    Seed $$$$?

    HOT! 
    You want people to help you, but are clearly not accepting it when it's right there and doesn't go with what you believe... Good luck with this. If it works, I hope you have continued success and I was wrong. If it doesn't, re-read this thread.

    Seed $$$$?

    HOT! 
    So from what you're saying: - Need 50K to start a company - Can't get a loan or find investors - No product or service (this is still VERY weird) - Need money in a month because you want to rent a space which will provide advantages. I'm assuming the location is a place your target market...
