    8-year-old entrepreneur: How can I help him without crushing his plans?

    Darin has listed his first rubber band product on ebay but it hasn't sold yet. He's got a lot of bracelets and charms he's made and he needs a place (like a website) to list all the products in one place because we're going to do some free vistaprint business cards that he can give to friends at...

    8-year-old entrepreneur: How can I help him without crushing his plans?

    Yeah, I wish they would wait until it was an actual problem before they interfere. If kids are fighting over the bracelets or money then I understand the teachers stepping in, but wait until it gets to that point so they can learn in the process. Darin said he had $20 stolen out of his backpack...

    8-year-old entrepreneur: How can I help him without crushing his plans?

    And the saga continues... Darin was subjected to government interference today -- the afterschool program teacher told him he couldn't sell bracelets anymore. He told me about this when I picked up him but he wasn't upset -- he said he will sell in the mornings during breakfast instead. (He's...

    8-year-old entrepreneur: How can I help him without crushing his plans?

    Thanks for the great advice! This gives me some great places to start, like showing him the math on reselling the toy if he buys it at retail... but if he is determined then let him go through with it and learn from experience. I have been meaning to have a garage sale so I will find some of...

    8-year-old entrepreneur: How can I help him without crushing his plans?

    I knew that my 8-year-old son Darin had been selling rubber brand bracelets that he makes to kids at school. I didn't realize just how organized a thing he had going though until this weekend when he and my older son Alex got into negotiations for Alex to work for Darin's "shop" as a bookkeeper...

    Good free business checking account?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thanks for the input! Ironically, all my accounts are already with Chase. They've recently increased their requirements to waive the monthly fee, so my newer account I can't for free.

    Good free business checking account?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Can anyone recommend a good bank that has business checking accounts that don't charge a service fee, or has very low balance and transaction requirements to waive the fee? I have a few small business entities that I need to have separate accounts for, but I hate getting dinged every month with...

    The Best Slowlane Job Possible!

    I second this. You have an incredible luxury of time during the day to do whatever you want on your computer - use it to start a fastlane biz! If you're not sure what idea to go with, just start trying them and see what works and what doesn't. It's ok if not all your ideas pan out. Eventually...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I think there are two questions to consider, and this could apply to coding or any other skill that you could potentially hire out. 1) Which do you have more of, time or money? If you have more money and less time, then hiring someone else to do it makes the most sense. And vice versa, if you...

    The secret that was left out of The Millionaire Fast Lane Book

    EXECUTION GOLD! 
    Why? I think you are stuck in one way of looking at the situation. Let go of assumptions and imagine that anything is possible. Look for creative, non-traditional ways to do things. Ask, how can I bust through these limitations, or go around them? Remember that creating anything explosive is a...

    Must-watch TED talk about marketing and leadership

    MARKETING 
    I think this can apply to anything as well - like you said, people are attracted to beliefs, not plans. He and MJ both make the point, in slightly different ways, that doing something for money is backwards. You start with the why and then the people (and therefore the money) are attracted to...

    Just watched this powerful video and felt compelled to share it with my fastlane peeps. His points tie in nicely with MJ's story about attracting the cat. http://www.ted.com/talks/view/lang/en//id/848
