    How can you work full time while growing your business ?

    HOT! 
    Sounds like coding is your expertise, but have you considered doing something different for your business? Perhaps something completely unrelated will be easier to work on, rather than doing the same thing you already did for 8 hours at your job. I'd suggest finding a way to cut your expenses...

    What do you think are the most saturated markets?

    I feel like everything is saturated these days. Something like personal training is very easy to get into, but I also think the 80/20 rule applies. 20% of personal trainers are probably doing 80% of the business. It's still very possible to do well in fitness, but you have to be better than the...

    I bought another laundromat

    HOT! 
    I was curious about this, too. So I looked it up quickly this morning. Looks like small business loans can be had for as little as 10% down, and half of that can come from the seller's note. Of course this all depends on the specifics of the business and what kind of cash flow it has, I'm sure.

    Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started (seriously)

    EXECUTION 
    Good stuff! My plan for finances is to only use money from the business for the minimum living expenses. Everything earned above that is invested. Once investment income reaches the point of covering minimum living expenses, I will only live off that, and everything earned from business will be...

    I bought another laundromat

    HOT! 
    Shoot, at that point why not hire a full-time manager at $45k/year and make $255k working 0 days/week?!

    I bought another laundromat

    HOT! 
    Many years ago I saw a laundromat for sale and thought about buying it. Didn't really have the cash, though. I just remember it said it made $72k/yr net income. I don't remember any other details.

    Anybody Interested In The Indy 500?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    His cousin Dan Murphy was the driver. He passed away in 1993 so I didn't get to talk to him a whole lot about it. I became curious as I got older and looked through all his notes, and blueprints of the car design. According to my mom, although they had a whole racing team, he was the one that...

    Billionaire pays off graduates' student loans

    OFF-TOPIC 
    When I graduated PA school my student loan debt had ballooned to just shy of $200k (I know, terrible, and if I could do it over again I would take PA school off my list of options at that point in my life!). In the last 3 years and 3 months I've paid off half of it. At my current rate I'll have...

    Anybody Interested In The Indy 500?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I grew up in Indy, and my dad actually designed and built an Indy car in the 70's (back when that was actually possible). They didn't qualify for the Indy 500, but were in some other races. Ironically, though, I've never been to the race! Been to qualifications, practice, Carb Day, Brickyard...

    27-year-old middle-laner, trying to go from good to great

    INTRO 
    Sounds like you had the same plan I did. I also called it the middle lane. Except I'm pretty much capped at $120k in my job, aside from cost of living adjustments, 3-4% per year. Also, I'm investing in real estate, so better returns than the stock market. But it'd take me 10 years to get to a...

    I'm starting a real estate photography side business and could use some tips

    I think these services would only be used on luxury homes. I've looked into doing real estate photography/videography, but I've noticed no Realtors are using video, and research of real estate photographers has given me such small numbers I don't think it's really worth my time. That being said...

    Billionaire Dreams: What Makes You Happy?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This is me, too. Freedom is the #1 thing. I'd be more happy to have complete freedom making $60k/yr than to make $1 million/year, but have to work all the time. Ideally I'll have enough to travel the world and not be on a tight budget. I love to spend time out in nature, hiking, biking, fishing...

    Haven't read through the whole thread, so I don't know if these things were covered yet, but here's a few that I've heard: Crop images to 4x5 This gives you the largest possible image, so when people scroll through their feed, the image shows for a longer period of time, and has a greater...

    How to create monetary wealth in just 5 years. (Or less!)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Seeing how I'm now 37 years old, and have tons of student loan debt still to pay off, yeah... the whole 50 years of compound interest definitely isn't gonna work for me! I never really liked the idea, anyway. For years I've felt that the process of getting enough to retire on is too slow. I...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    This thread is absolutely amazing! I have been thinking of starting a social media marketing agency, but my biggest problem was I assumed I needed to learn everything and do all of the work myself! That mindset put it on the backburner as something that would just take up too much of my time...

    Beware Those Offering To Hire You Too Easily - Meeting A Psycho For Coffee

    Sounds about right. I've been pitched on MLM's several times. What gets me is how these people always act like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and their "compensation plan" is always their selling point. While some of their products may be fine, they're typically nothing special or...

    Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?

    NOTABLE! 
    My job is consistently ranked as one of the top jobs in the country by Forbes or CNN Money, or whoever... Physician Assistant. But it IS a dead-end job. There is no advancement. Just a 3-5% raise per year to adjust for inflation, that's it. And the debt is astronomical. I still owe $99k, but...

    Pick a niche. Can you "Follow your passion" there?

    The key is to solve a problem, I don't think it matters if you're passionate about it or not. You may be more likely to find a problem that needs solved within your passion, simply because you're spending your time doing that thing. Another thing I've been thinking about to not limit myself is...
