    How are you recapping your book material?

    Thank you all. I had started to make a summary of my books, but misplaced it with the remodeling of the house. Its might be in a buried bin now in the garage, but Im glad to know keeping a summary of the books/journaling is a practice done by others. Dunkafelics, the Cornell Note-Taking...

    How are you recapping your book material?

    I hate how I would sometimes start reading a book just to have real life get in the way and not allow me to finish it in the time I had expected causing me to forget certain key points. I came across an article explaining how to better remember what you read by concentrating at a specific word...

    How does one find a mentor?

    My mentor is my friend from high school with the exact same business as I am starting up. She has been successful for 5+ years, and this is something I should have started a long time ago. She was a good friend I lost touch of, but is one of those types of friends that when you get together...

    Flipping cars, appliances, and other assets.

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    That IS a nice touch. Especially if you include a $10 gas gift card with that Christmas card as a thank you for being a customer. :smile2:

    The Best Skills to Learn as a Fastlane Entrepreneur

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    The skill I believe is the most important: Patience. We all have to deal with people. Whether it be people in our industry or customers we are trying to acquire. All these people have the unique ability to say/do something extraordinarily annoying ranging anywhere from supplying you with the...

    Flipping cars, appliances, and other assets.

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    First, my apologies for resurrecting this thread. There is little to no mention about used car dealerships on this forum which is exactly as mentioned here. Flipping cars but professionally and legally. As some have mentioned, it is illegal to flip x number of cars per year unless you have a...

    Too scared to take the plunge?

    MINDSET 
    Im not afraid of taking the plunge. Its everything else that scares me. Signing a lease on commercial property and seeing that it has to be under your name AND your company's name because its a new company is a pretty scary thing. You see all sorts of scary paragraphs on the lease like "if...

    I was beginning to think I was the only one

    Ill always be myself, but I want fancy sports cars because I know I will take them to the track vs most people with money that are afraid to take their new sports car past 80mph. :playful:

    Emotionally attached object sold for startup?

    Ill say Im about 90% there in letting go. Seeing replies such as yours is what is helping me reach that 100% by knowing Im not the only one who made a similar sacrifice in getting my "process" started up. :wideyed:

    Emotionally attached object sold for startup?

    I only mentioned its value because of the increased difficulty there will be in replacing it. Its value to me is in the unmeasurable amount of fun Ive had with it in my hobby for over 2 decades. I dont have a problem replacing it with the same thing later on because of how satisfied I know I...

    Emotionally attached object sold for startup?

    I prefer not to say what it is. Some get attached to certain things all depending on their history with it and how they have lived their life with it which is in conjunction with the person's lifestyle/hobbies. One man's treasure is another man's dispossible object. So I prefer to keep it as...

    Emotionally attached object sold for startup?

    1. Not at all 2. VERY badly. I was laid off and was going to use my severance for the startup. I probably wont be able to buy it back wihin a year. 2 years possibly. 3 years I better be making enough income to be able to buy it back. It will help in paying for home expenses while the...

    Fell into the Video Game Trap

    HOT! 
    Quieter but I wouldnt say dead. There are small lan parties in every area. Just all about hunting them down. Of course it hasn't helped that devs no longer make games with local server support so most lan parties end up consisting of older games.

    Fell into the Video Game Trap

    HOT! 
    Unreal Tournament 2004 Onslaught is where my heart will always be. The best gaming years of my life. I was even in a clan and played weekly tournaments against other teams. Some of my team members even played DM for thousands of $s every once in a while. Every game after Unreal Tournament...

    Hardest Skill to Master??

    THIS Nothing is more infuriating than dealing with the ignorance and impatience of others. One needs to rise above the rest and take control of the situation without causing further harm.

    And what exactly is wrong with Passion?

    Such great feedback. So here is how I have taken in all this: Passion itself wont get the $s, but persistence and perseverance certainly does. Passion on an item not needed is passion wasted no matter how large the passion. But when you have passion for properly delivering a "profitable"...
