    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Long time lurker.. just finished the book. Well done! I remember your post (in 09 i think?) saying how you were up to chapter 17 and at the time I thought "oh awesome it must be almost done" - Well worth the wait for all 45 chapters!

    Exit strategy As someone who has subscribed to this thread since the first post its sad to see you're throwing in the towel. That said, if you're commited to this path - have you considered selling the site on flippa.com or similar?

    Getting creative for the launch of our startup

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Awesome work on taking action. I think it's a great idea hopefully any criticisms below come across as purely constructive! I think the most difficult element to a startup of this nature is determining how to motivate sellers. On auction sites, all the work in the sale (listing, copy, packing...

    PROGRESS THREAD: GymJunkie (36Pounds.com)

    EXECUTION 
    I'm a fan of your site Gymjunkie and you've got some great content so I hope these suggestions come across as purely constructive! It's been raised on this forum in the past that often we can make (false) assumptions about someone's gender by the style of their writing, or others have admitted...

    is it possible to sell online free stuff?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    To be honest, I think you would struggle to compete with sites such as Scribd which do this sort of thing, but for free. However in general, don't let competition scare you off. To paraphrase Paul Graham: if you can't find at least one competitor, 99% of the time it's because its been tried...

    The $100 Week

    Definately a goal to aim for in the future! I suppose this exercise was more aimed at the new members whom may have prompted the recent "tighten up the forum" thread. To draw an analogy with web design: If you have never had experience in HTML - you'll run into trouble if your first project...

    The $100 Week

    I congratulate you on having your own successful affiliate program - It is clear that you have a defined plan and are executing it well. As it says above, this exercise is targeted at those who are yet to formulate their own plan, but who are keen to get into action immediately. I found this...

    The $100 Week

    Inspired by the 30 day challenge (to make $10 online in 30 days) I would like to challenge the younger members of this forum (like myself) that are still on the road to creating a successful fastlane business: The Goal: To make $100 in one week via entrepreneurial means. A few months...

    PROGRESS THREAD: GymJunkie (36Pounds.com)

    EXECUTION 
    I was poking round your site purely just to see if there was any advice I could provide as a fastlane member, not actually caring much about body building.. Until I came across your before and after pictures - wow I'm very impressed! That alone, has motivated me to follow your blog. My...

    Hey do I change my mindset? Am I thinking wrong?...

    MINDSET 
    I think you have to appreciate that success in business is not a zero sum game. In the box office industry, you're either the top of the list or you're a flop - this is not the case with money - there is will always be more floating around. Jealousy, by definition, is about the anxiety or fear...

    Another interesting cast by Kevin Rose and Tim Ferriss. Not as heavy on E-biz as their first video but they mention a number of new startups to pay attention to. Random Episode Numero 2 on Vimeo

    Random Rant #1: Never Argue with a Slow Laner

    I agree with you 100%! I believe there are a lot of intelligent professionals (even middle/upper class) who refuse to change their thinking, not because they can logically argue a case against you, but because of the fear of unhappiness. An abstract artist, who suddenly realises 3 weeks into...

    Advice Please

    Every newcomer to the forum should read this excellent advice. Almost always the replies one gets to a question are of roughly equal length and depth to the original post.

    Copyright/Patent a business plan/idea?

    IDEA 
    Fanocks is correct.. if your idea is a tangible invention (ie new cruise ship safety device) patent is the way to go. A business can register a trademark typically associated with a name, word, logo or symbol, usually to establish a brand or reputation for quality. If your idea is simply a...

    Are you an expert?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I asked a very similar question here http://www.thefastlanetomillions.com/general-business-discussion/19939-10-000-hour-rule-vs-working-smarter.html The most common answer from this forum seemed to be that that mastering the basics correctly often meant less than 10,000 hours was necessary most...

    Harry S. Dent, Jr. vs. Peter Schiff

    I have to disagree with your opinion of Dent.. The only book I've come across of his is The Next Great Bubbble Boom (published 2005) where he talks about the greatest boom in history between 2006-2010 - he claims, with a degree of certainty, the dow jones will reach 40,000 by 2010 (currently...

    New Website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I also have some concerns about this. To paraphrase VC, Guy Kawasaki in “The Art of the Start”, he is extremely skeptical if anyone ever pitches that there is “no competition” to their idea – in his experience it’s usually a sign that the pitcher needs to have a closer look at the market they’re...
