    Just gave away my first copy of Fastlane

    When I get excited about a book I tend to start giving away copies to friends and associates. I gave away over 25 copies of Doc Searl's 'Intention Economy' last year, and gave everybody at my company a copy of 'Lean Startup' before that, etc. Oddly, I woke up yesterday with a vague recollection...

    Discovering A Need

    One of my "antennae" has always been that an unfulfilled search could be an opportunity. I.e many years ago (has to be over 12 years ago now!) I registered the name of a generic pharmaceutical, on a whim, when I saw the news that the patent protection had not been extended and that meant...

    .PW Landrush (Domaining)

    INVESTING 
    .PW is a waste of time. Most of the new TLDs (if they ever make it to market) will be a waste of time. The people who think the new TLDs will "dilute" the value of .com's (and to a lesser extent .net and .org) are wrong. The effect will be inverse. The business model behind most new TLDs and...

    Is sending out a couple of hundred mass emails a month spam?

    MARKETING 
    The volume doesn't matter, it's how you build the list that matters. Opt-in, preferably opt-in + confirm or if they've bought something from you, those are all legit ways to build the list and you should be able to email them safely, providing good disclosures and 1-click unsubscribes (and...

    Where to sell my websites

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Depending on the revenues and type of site, if your topline is north of 100K or 200K there's Quiet Light Brokerage and there's also the Cheval Opportunities List (although the latter is more geared toward service providers and ISPs, I do see listings for web sites)

    HOT! 
    "What Rich People Know & Desperately Want to Keep Secret" was a game-changer for me, probably got me started on the path way back when. Another good one in the same tradition of that one is Richard Dobbins' "What Self-Made Millionaires Really Think, Know and Do"

    The Fastlane mindset

    EXECUTION 
    This was a huge lesson for me. I met a mentor over a decade ago who once told me "fail often, fail quickly and fail cheaply". I always remembered that but I didn't really digest it on a visceral level until quite recently. It all came back recently when I had lunch with the same guy again. I...

    The Big Secret in helping you speed up

    EXECUTION 
    One of best pieces of advice I ever received was from a very successful self-made man who once told me "The world is up to its a$$ in great ideas. What counts is execution". And I think he's right. You don't have to worry about somebody stealing your idea, as most people don't have the...

    Hi, I'm the AntiGuru

    I'm about halfway through the Millionaire Fastlane book, I like it lot. Put off reading it for a long time because the title made it sound like yet another "Paradox of Practice" book. In fact I finally started reading it when I randomly flipped it open to the exact "Paradox of Practice" pages...
