    Low Cost Health Care for Entrepreneurs

    PEOPLE 
    Don't mean to get political or religious on you guys, but if you are a Christian, you can get some pretty cheap rates on Health Care as an entrepreneur. http://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/02/gary-north/christians-can-opt-out-of-obamacare/ These plans skirt the Obamacare mandates and are...

    Thoughts on Being An Entreployee

    Recently I was promoted in my Slowlane job. I went from running the supply chain (purchasing) department to running the entire plant for an aerospace machining manufacturer. I've never run a plant before. In fact, 12 years ago I was an ex-airline pilot that was unemployed thanks to 9/11. I...

    Can the Fastlane Forum Really Be Slowlane..?

    SLOWLANE 
    No - I'm not just trying out different copywriting headlines. Let me start off by saying I love MJ's book, the forum, the great people I've met on it, the people I have met in person as a result of meeting them on the forum, the contacts that have been passed along, the lessons I have learned...

    Fastlane Principles in a Slowlane Job

    SLOWLANE 
    I am really trying to get to a Fastlane lifestyle using real estate as soon as I can. But I have not found an opportunity yet to 'burn the boats' and quit my slowlane job. While I continue to look for this opportunity, or build my real estate portfolio until it can sustain me as a fastlaner...

    Why Colleges Don't Teach Copywriting...

    RANT 
    My daughter is about to go off to college next year. Throughout our whole college search, I keep asking the most important copywriting question: What's In It For Me (My Daughter)? I never get a good answer for this question. Here's examples of what I found that people pick colleges for - and...

    Why Do You Want the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    Ok I am getting depressed reading some of the posts on this forum now. Can I ask a favor: STOP IT! Enough of your problems. I don't want to sound harsh, but this forum is supposed to be about opportunity, not despair. If you are having problems, think about it this way: Everyone who is...

    Wholesaling Commercial Real Estate

    REAL ESTATE 
    A wholesaler came to me and asked me if I had any connections to sell a 30,000 sq foot warehouse/industrial building near St. Cloud MN. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to find a potential buyer for a building like this? It's in an industrial park apparently and is half rented. Could...

    Anyone Flipped a Luxury Home?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Happy New Year Everyone! Yesterday I went to see a home that a wholesaler called me about. It's in a very nice section of town with great schools and lots of luxury homes. The house is new construction and the person who built it just ran out of money. All the big stuff is in place and the...

    Thank You for Your Service, Entrepreneurs

    I just went through a full day of everyone falling all over themselves thanking me for my service because I am a veteran. This may tick a lot of people off, but it really sickens me to hear this. As a service member, I was not protecting people's freedoms. I was part of the entity...

    General Forum Area for $Million Ideas

    IDEA 
    I have been trying to brainstorm ideas for new businesses, much like James Altucher recommends in his 'Daily Practice'. If nothing else it has really given me something to do while sitting in traffic and keeps my mind off choking the sh*t out of the idiots on the road. What if we had a forum...

    Another brainstorming idea

    IDEA 
    I am trying to brainstorm a millionaire idea and have posted a few before. But I think I have one that might work better than the others and was wondering what people think. In all the sites such as Expedia, Kayak, Travelocity etc. they expect you to put in some dates of travel and they...

    What to do with new ideas?

    IDEA 
    I am reading James Altucher's book 'Choose Yourself' and just finished MJ's book this weekend. In both books they talk about coming up with ideas that will serve a need or help people. James recommends coming up with 10 ideas a day on a variety of topics. Here is my problem. Practically...

    Rehab repair estimating

    REAL ESTATE 
    Hi, I think one of the biggest problems people run into when they get into real estate investing is underestimating the cost of repairs. Contractors also don't like to go to 50 houses with an investor and give 50 bids when only one of the jobs pans out. If there was a good way of estimating...
