    Direct snail mail marketing?

    MARKETING 
    First, I've been away from the forum for a while. It's been a roller coaster ride and maybe I ought to post a re-introducing myself thread. Anyway, this place is great. One of the internet's best destinations. Glad to be back. At the moment I had a thought that I wanted to throw on the table...

    Friend-zoned.... by a prospective client....

    LANDFILL 
    I had an odd experience yesterday. Maybe more of an observation than an experience, but it's been on my mind so I want to throw it on the table. I was heading to pick up some printing and called a prospective client to follow up on my hopefully budding business relationship. I knew my point of...

    To write a letter, or to hire a writer....

    MARKETING 
    Ok, here's the situation. I'm working a sales job. I took the job to get better at selling. This is an "earn while you learn" experience. I see an angle. I see an opportunity to (maybe) apply leverage by prospecting an area my new colleagues may have overlooked. My idea is to test my theory...

    Glorious failure

    INTRO 
    I've been away from the Fast lane forum for a while, and it's been an eventful time. I want to say up front, some of this update may come across as whining but not really. I've had some failures that I've learned from. I failed by taking action that didn't work out, which is way better than...

    Reflections on a yardsale

    My wife and I are looking at making some changes. I'll spare you the details and jump straight into the yard sale. Time to thin out the possessions. Time to create some space. Time to have the dreaded yard sale. This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of watching the slowlane and slow...

    Has the discraced pitch man hurt the franchise?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    By now we've all seen the news about SubWay's pitch man "Jared" admitting to sex with children. We have all heard and seen the jokes so let's leave them on facebook. What this has to do with entrepreneurship is the question of how badly does this hurt the franchise. When the pitch man gets...

    Puerto Rico; what is the opportunity?

    REAL ESTATE 
    PR is in the news and not in a good way. With all due respect to those who are in a tight spot, it's axiomatic that fortunes are made during bad times. With that in mind, what is the opportunity to be found in the Puerto Rican debacle? Is now the time to buy real estate in hopes of long haul...

    Going crazy waiting on subbed out work!!!!!!!

    If I may rant for a moment.... OK, it seems straight forward enough. I have an idea for a brand. Not just a product, a line of products within a brand that focusses on an under served market. These people are buying stuff that is branded and marketed toward a related market, but no one has...

    Does charity yield more sales? Other benefits?

    EXECUTION 
    I'm working my way through creating a brand in a fairly crowded industry. There are days when I see and feel progress, and there are times when this feels like it's over the horizon somewhere, and I spend too much time analyzing each nuance. I have identified an under served niche that I'm...

    Cuba!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well, at long last, the United States is thawing it's long standing position of effectively shutting Cuba off from the US economy. For now, that means the beginnings of travel. Cigars and rum can trickle in, but not on a commercial level. We are a long way away from foreign real estate...

    Forbes article on MLM

    I came across this article http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertlaura/2014/08/29/would-you-join-a-multi-level-marketing-company-for-retirement-income/ and it struck me. Having just read MFL, I saw that the Forbes writer seemingly unintentionally verified what MJ DeMarco wrote about multi level...

    Hello, thanks for having me.

    INTRO 
    This is a great site that I learned about from "The Millionaire Fastlane" book which I'm reading now. My current line of business is great but is coming to a close. Years ag I was an artisan making hand made knives. That lead into my step father and I entering into a partnership to market a...
