    Fitness Goal... Reward.

    HOT! 
    Today was 174 at 12.3% bodyfat. I've been keeping steady even while allowing my diet to include carbs. I've only been doing weights and walking for the last few months, and I've never been in better shape. Compound lifts really are the best way to workout. :) Edit - I'm also 6'1" so it...

    Can you "steal" an idea that is already out there?

    IDEA 
    This actually sounds like a pretty good idea that I am sure my fiancee would spend way too much money on, especially if you had Hello Kitty inserts lol. I wouldn't consider it stealing at all, but in my opinion if the person who originally told you about it is a friend or colleague I wouldn't...

    Fitness Goal... Reward.

    HOT! 
    I think this is some of the best advice anyone can receive when it comes to health. I only focus on compound movements (squats, bench, overhead press, bent rows, deadlifts), and have probably ran a combined 5 miles in the last 18 months; with no running training I just did a 5k in 30 minutes...

    Is Steve Ballmer's nightmare coming true?

    My next phone will be a Windows phone, and if I ever purchase another tablet it will be a Surface. I've been using a free trial of Office 2013 recently and making extensive use of OneNote...I don't know what I ever did without it. The only reason I have neither right now is that my Galaxy...

    Idea overload

    IDEA 
    If you have written articles for magazines, then you should use that to your advantage in your existing salons. Write more of them, and make yourself an acknowledged expert in that field. People will pay more for services when they believe they are receiving better value for their money, even...

    Adsense or Subscription? My progress since June

    EXECUTION 
    Here is my feedback after using it for a bit - - Don't link directly to full sites, link to individual posts on those sites, and keep the links inside your webpage. Right now they open someone else's site and leave yours. You have no assurance they'll keep browsing on your site. - On the...

    Fitness Goal... Reward.

    HOT! 
    Your goal is very doable. I used to be 240 (even at 6'1" that's way fat), now I'm down to my target weight of 170. I'm to the point where I'm trying to add weight back in the form of muscle. :D Any workout plan can get you where you want to go, since weight loss is actually mostly achieved in...

    Please critique my Fastlane process before I start it.

    EXECUTION 
    Update - Website is 90% completed (Wordpress site with a theme from Elegant themes), and will be used to drive local referrals so I can better understand the sales process and the exact needs of the market. I figure I'll be targeting the southern half of CA along the coast (San Diego to the...

    Please critique my Fastlane process before I start it.

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for commenting. :) In certain situations he is definitely a positive, and he knows how to sell. Although even he will tell you that he isn't what sells his product, it is the combination of product quality and pricing. There are a lot of, how shall we say, sub-par businesses in this...

    What are your biggest time wasters and why do you do them?

    MINDSET 
    My biggest time waster is re-working things. I have a habit of liking ot look at numbers, and making overly involved graphs. It is kind of like work, but it isn't really getting anything done. I think it is a bad habit leftover from my previous job, where I was able to effectively do nothing...

    I'm driving back to SLO tomorrow so I won't be able to make it. Let us know how it turns out.

    Please critique my Fastlane process before I start it.

    EXECUTION 
    I'm hoping for some insight on any possible weaknesses in this approach, or ideas to improve upon it. I've had this staring me in the face for over 6 months now, and it never clicked until now. Thanks in advance for any help. __________ My future father in law owns an apparel brand in the...

    Hello from San Luis Obispo

    Thanks for the welcome! I think SLO is a great place for an entrepreneur. I met with an entrepreneur meetup group last month (and again this coming Monday), and found out about some great resources in the area. Cal Poly has a program called the "Hot House" where they connect entrepreneurs...

    Northern California Fastlaners Meetup

    MEETUPS 
    I'm quite flexible, do most of my stuff from my laptop and always have a place to stay in Sac so I'm definitely flexible for a monthly meeting. And I love it here too. I wish I had moved out here years ago when my brother went to Poly and told me about it.

    Hello from San Luis Obispo

    Hey all - My name is Chris, and I'm new to Fastlaning. A little bit about myself, I'm 33, college educated (almost completed an MBA before I decided I had no desire to do anything an MBA in Finance would help me with) and had worked for 12 years at a Dow 30 company with my final title being...

    I'm in SLO, but I visit family in Sacramento/El Dorado Hills often. If the timing works I'd love to attend a meetup of fastlaners.
