    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Yea, you can get some great experiences on meetup.com or even some other websites I won't mention. There's plenty of places to meet people and party, if that's what your raving about is "you won't regret it because you'll get some great experiences!!!" You can go just about anywhere and get...

    Really? If you want next time you plan on going let me know a few days in advance and maybe we could meet up some time.

    Habits are hard to form? NOPE! Develop any habit quickly.

    MINDSET 
    I like how he talks about triggers. For years I struggled with developing a habit to work out. Eventually I found that if I just get up and do it, right after waking up it works for me. Get up = work out, like clock work. I don't even think about it anymore. The only problem is I recently...

    I read the book, excellent read. I couldn't put it down and finished it in a little over a week.

    Fork in the road

    MINDSET 
    If you've know him for years that's a bit different. You could wait a year to see if it starts to turn a profit, which I hope it would by then but would you prefer to be a deck hand? Since your on this forum I'm assuming you want your own business but it sounds like your still thinking like an...

    Fork in the road

    MINDSET 
    At your age that's a decent salary but for someone with lots of experience, no it wouldn't be -- which may be why he hired you so he could save money. Although if it becomes profitable and you get 10% that would be a huge pay raise. For him to give you 10% of the net profit after just meeting at...

    Disagree with some of the book

    It failed because there were way to many players in a small market and it was a local business. PC repair isn't quite as prevalent as it used to be because of automated tools, and the price of them is so cheap now you can't charge much for a repair. Most places are now getting into smart phone...

    Disagree with some of the book

    Hi MJ, thanks for the tips. I do have a few pages of a "plan" but it's more of a list of ideas and marketing strategies and I do recall me thinking I need more of a plan to move forward and thanks to this thread I've come up with one that I think will work well. Also yes, I cannot predict the...

    So he's paying you 36k (are you currently working there?), has offered you 10% of the net profit at each location at some time in the future, with the possibility of getting 48k for managing multiple locations which the first hasn't made any profit yet, and your 21 and met him at a concert...

    What do you guys think about the Oculus rift?

    I'm personally a big fan of it and believe it will do reasonably well but won't be a huge blockbuster. A lot of people simply just don't like to strap things onto their head. It's the same with the 3d market. Playstation also already has a prototype of their own. Now if they could make it so...

    I am looking for a partner! Lucrative Idea

    HOT! IDEA 
    You could check Co founder labs if your looking for a partner. Jack Andraka was able to finally get funding after 199 rejections and he wasn't proven. 15 years old and went on to discover a cheaper, faster, more effective way to detect some cancers.

    Disagree with some of the book

    Thanks for the input everyone. You hear the business plan preached as gospel and I admit it has somewhat held me back from action. Hell it's a pre-requirement to SBA loans and funding from many sources. Looking at my current plan, it's more a list of ideas than a plan, such as how to market...

    Disagree with some of the book

    Thanks Ant, I'm not attempting to "change anyone's reality". This is a forum and was simply giving feedback on the book in the hopes of productive responses that can sway my thoughts is all. I know this sounds impossible but I've used many forums and my opinions have changed over time at some...

    Disagree with some of the book

    Yes, I agree with this and again, this is a part of the book that I don't agree with. I think it's good to have *at least* some type of business plan, meaning not investing a shitload of time into it, but rather a plan for a way forward and be able to adjust it accordingly. Not saying that no...

    Disagree with some of the book

    No, but I can share a business that had no plan at all and failed miserably, will that work as well?

    Disagree with some of the book

    I apologize if this is the wrong area as I didn't see a specific area to discuss the book. At least for me, what really stood out was the bashing of the business plan. I get the whole "charts and graphs" thing that people like to do which usually just ends up being worthless as the market takes...

    2015 Fastlane Summit, Official Thread

    MEETUPS 
    Good idea, funny I use it every day and never even thought to try that. I think it's worth a shot, but since it's graphic intense programs like 3D studio max/mud box I'm not sure how well it would handle going through the internet as far as lag time to what I'm doing. Sometimes I need precise...

    This. I work my business from home, while I've had some progress I'm no were near were I want to be as far as productivity. I know I will be more productive outside of home, my only hold up currently is to do what I need, I need a powerful video card. Which means an expensive laptop or lug my...
