    Who is FIREBIRDZ?

    INTRO 
    I was late to the party and never got to see the original post, but from the reactions of the replies I'm guessing it was pretty bad.

    What laptop have you got?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a MacBook Pro purchased refurbished from the Apple Store in 2013. It will be 2 years old next month and is still going strong. No complaints.

    Try out ideas or open shop?

    IDEA 
    Try your idea out first. It's never a good idea to rush things. Ideas always feel solid in your head until you try them out in the real world. Then you quickly discover just how not solid most of them are. I was like that at the beginning of my entreprenurship journey, eager to get serious and...

    Would you guys considering clothing a need with a good market?

    No. The problem with clothing lines is that the entry to start one is low. And if everyone is doing it you can bet someone else wants to do it too. Simply put: it's too easy.

    Does it make sense to drop out of college to become a real estate agent?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I would do it only if aligned with my Fastlane dreams. For example, if you want to be like some of the people on the forum who own multiple properties and make passive incomes per month renting those properties out (or later selling them for a profit in the right market), then I would take the...

    Over analyzing is paralyzing

    MINDSET 
    I haven't figured out how to stop over analyzing things. It's an issue in my life, too.

    Failure is a step forward not backwards.

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Today I was testing some newly purchased products on my idea. The results I was getting were not how I imagined they would be and I was getting discouraged. And then I remembered I was "experimenting". After stepping back a bit to think I came up with a new experiment. Using my new products...

    I love this thread, from the good to the whiny responses. I never thought the OP was attacking the woman on a personal level, but using her as a metaphorical example of people throwing in the towel with their lives. I don't how it got to hit such a bitter nerve with some of the responders...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That it happened. I think the younger they are the easier it is for them to casually pass it off as just another lesson from their school history books. I think that's the way it was for me with Pearl Harbor and other significant historical events from the past. Until September 11th...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Still feels like it happened last year. I was a freshmen in college, far away from New York, but every time 9/11 comes around I feel that day. I mean I literally feel it. It's crazy.

    Standing Still As Life Passes By

    HOT! 
    Also working a shitty job. And also have failed at every idea I pursued. Been depressed, seen docs, and eventually got tired of hearing feel good talk from them when I realized what the real problem was: me. Nearly every personal failure is a result of my own actions and inactions. I'm working...

    I really like the idea of calling it an expirement. Just saying it in my mind about my own idea instantly put me at ease about the possibility of failure.

    It's not supposed to be easy and failures happen because that's part of the game.

    Pricing and Psychology

    NOTABLE! 
    The discovery of this thread came at a perfect time. This afternoon at my slowlane job I was agonizing over how to price my items. I was considering everything from materials, time worked, shipping, fees, and competitor prices. Sometimes I arrived at a number that felt too high or not high...

    Doing something just to please the parents ?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I would only recommend going to college if they are paying for it. If so, then you can please them while doing your own thing on the side. If not, then you are better off grinding for your dreams rather than going into debt pleasing your parents.

    Is free delivery enough for you to buy?

    INVESTING 
    Not gonna lie. Free delivery is more likely to entice me than not, even though I've sold enough (and bought enough) stuff on eBay to know that shipping cost is often bundled into the item price. From my experience in selling on that platform, I got faster 'buy it now' purchases with items listed...
