    Total Sidewalk Dad

    If you want to grow the current business then you need to have a talk with your father about becoming the "manager" of his business and then creating a website, online marketing, better storefront signage, mailings close to Christmas, etc. Your father is sick and cannot run a business...

    Walkthrough of my apps. Critiques please

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Looks cool. At the current, the squad calls in via a radio that is based in the ED, old school style, this would show a pic and detail of what is wrong. I will play the Devil's Advocate. In a busy ED a lot of verbal two way communication can be completed in 10-15 seconds. This would take...

    Is a CPA good enough for setting up an LLC?

    I have set up my own LLC before. Just draft an "article of organization" detailing who owns the company and then checking with the Secretary of State in your state to see if the proposed name of your business is being used by someone else in your state. Then you will need to get your tax ID for...

    This is how much college costs

    HOT! 
    I know a nurse practitioner (master's degree in nursing) that has $150,000 in student loan debt. She will make at most $90-120k a year. After taxes and deductions for "benefits" she will bring home maybe half that. So, at best, she will be able to pay her loan off in 6-8 years if she lives on...

    Authentic confidence - where does it come from?

    MINDSET 
    Confidence comes from knowing that you can do what you want to do if you want to do it enough to do what it requires to do it. Everything is learnable. Nobody was born being able to perform brain surgery or to run a successful business. "I can't do this, and I can't do that." "I never learned to...

    100 MILLION DOLLARS! Or, How to Grow a Successful Internet Startup

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Healthcare IT is definitely Elephant Land for sure. We use Paragon, and most agree it sucks. Epic is owned by one person. She shoots Elephants every day and is a billionaire. That said, most say Epic isn't all that great either. We are in the infancy of digital charting, digital ordering, etc...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished reading the book, and intend to go back through and take my time to really digest it and to copy down the acronyms to hang on the wall so that I can look at them quickly when thinking of a new opportunity. I am currently reading Think and Grow Rich and even though MJ (as I...

    Focusing on a niche market rather than the broader market? A good idea?

    IDEA 
    My goal is to actually focus on a niche. You can build a strong brand and own the niche and it makes it harder for competition to unseat you. I would think a broad market would be harder to compete in even though there are a lot more customers.

    Scrub Club

    I work in healthcare at the current (I am exiting in a few months), would like to start a website selling Amish stuff, and own a pretty sucessful BBQ joint that I would like to fastlane somehow. One thing I have noticed is that not only does everyone in a hospital wear srubs, but so do all...

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Never let fear stop you. No matter the risk you will be fine even if you lose all your capital and your idea is a flop. Move on to the next. 99% of the people around you live in fear, and work jobs they hate due to fear. Be brave, be different, close your eyes and fall forward into your plan...

    The Amish among us...

    Some great info and ideas here, than you so much. I am listening to the Tim Ferris podcast right now. Of course they are known for their furniture but I was trying to think of even smaller items, like bird houses, etc. which could be well made and exclusive...and easy to ship.

    The Amish among us...

    Thank you for the move MJ, as a noob I am still learning the nooks. Cparsons, I will research search volumes. One way I could ensure confidence is building a trademark or a brand and then backing that up with good copy that I have a knack for. Plus, just being honest and letting them know that...

    The Amish among us...

    I live in southeastern Ohio and the Amish population has been steadily increasing in the past decade. I have noticed that the Amish have a reputation for building quality furniture among other things whether that reputation is deserved is debatable, but people associate "Amish" with quality and...

    How to Make $49,000 in 4 Weeks Without Using Banks or Credit

    REAL ESTATE 
    So, you don't have to be a broker because you take title of the house for a limited time, correct? If the high bid is higher than your offer to the seller, then the option exercises, you buy the house and then sell it to the high bidder, correct? How long does your option last? Does it have a...

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Respiratory Therapy manager in a struggling hospital system. As of last year, also a restaurant owner. The latter is my stepping stone to the fastlane. I don't see it as my end goal but rather a step to something bigger.

    I might be a little late getting here but I'm here!

    INTRO 
    Thanks Mr. DeMarco, I've been falling asleep reading The Millionaire Fastlane for the past several nights. Falling asleep because I'm still at the salaried job and juggling the restaurant on the weekends but I'm 1/4 through the book, and wow, it's answering the questions I knew I needed to ask...

    I might be a little late getting here but I'm here!

    INTRO 
    The building was in horrible shape when we bought it. I am in half with my father in law on the real estate and on restaurant operations. It is located on the highest traffic count in our county so it cost more than a run down building on another location. There was much cleaning and demo to be...

    I might be a little late getting here but I'm here!

    INTRO 
    Howdy, I'm from southern Ohio, and possibly a bit late to the fastlane at 39, but nonetheless I am ready to go. I have been a wage earning respiratory therapist for 18 years and a year and a half ago I decided it was time to swing for a homerun and bought a vacant restaurant, real estate and...
