    @MoneyDoc : Yes, that's my car. It's an F430 Spider Yup, the last Manual Ferrari ever to be produced.

    Thoughts on Cars (subtitle... why you should not buy a Lamborghini)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It is, yes. There are only 90 F430 Spiders throughout the UK, with around 10% of them being black. When taking the car in for a service at the dealership, was looking to trade it in for an F12, but the sales manager told me not to as the Spiders are going up in value at the moment. It's value...

    Thoughts on Cars (subtitle... why you should not buy a Lamborghini)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It all comes down to wanting to live an extravagant lifestyle, but without the means to do so. Todays society rewards those who are extravagant by way of attention, something that Sidewalk/Slowlane people generally want because it is relatively hard to come by. However, once you have been...

    Best way to find a partner?

    PEOPLE 
    Yes, you can outsource for whatever you are lacking, however, depending on what it is, still recommended to make time to learn it :)

    Best way to find a partner?

    PEOPLE 
    As I mentioned, the main reason for wanting a partner is because you are lacking something. Fix what you lack and you won't need a partner. Being in control doesn't mean you need to be an arsehole.

    Best way to find a partner?

    PEOPLE 
    When starting a business, having a partner(s) is normally used to fulfil a couple of requirements: 1) Funding 2) Knowledge/Experience Whilst this can be good to provide momentum to the business, as I've found out (and what most companies find out, including the ones mentioned by Michael W...

    Non-Technical Founders: Stop Learning How To Code

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The good thing with the proliferation of the internet is that there are so many online resources, a lot of the "code" that you need you don't even need to write. Copy & Paste is a coders best friend :)

    Non-Technical Founders: Stop Learning How To Code

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think the problem stems from the fact that, for a non-techy person, when you mention the word code, the first thing that flashes in their head is all the coding mumble jumble you see on Matrix. "Code" can be in many shapes and forms and, for what 90% of startup entrepreneurs on this site...

    I need to head up to Guangzhou sometime next week to see a customer, so I may schedule time to check out the Canton Fair next week. Anyone here already made plans?

    @Vigilante : From a quick search, I see he is in Guangzhou now and not HK? @armitage79: We manufacture for various brands, so could be any one of them :)

    Hello from Hong Kong!

    INTRO 
    I guess you can kinda call it a game; I do enjoy the challenge of pulverising my competition to the grave (my "dream". Already done it to 3 major competitors) whilst at the same time providing for my family (my "passion", and the sole reason for being) Yeah, I learned a lot during the past 13...

    No problem at all. Everyone is here to both learn and share knowledge. By "mingling" with like-minded individuals, everyone benefits. If only I had that opportunity 13 years ago... :(

    Hello from Hong Kong!

    INTRO 
    Yeah, I can see the confusion. The reason why I'm still in the Automotive industry is because, after my initial venture in Hong Kong (the partnership), I had already established the relevant contacts in China & Taiwan and, as mentioned, I still saw strong currents in the sea. It is not because...

    18 Year Old College Student - Looking for ventures!

    Welcome to the Fastlane :) Like those above me, I would do anything to be 18 again, and especially with your "business" attitude. Ideas are great, and ideas are plentiful (once you have the Fastlane mindset, you don't need to look for ideas; Ideas come looking for you ;) ), but without the...

    Hello from Hong Kong!

    Thank you for your encouragement :) To be honest, if it wasn't for my love of fooling around with cars back then, I probably would have stuck with my software company and grown that into something spectacular. All the signs were there, everything was in place; I just needed to stick to it...

    The future of the fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    You said it yourself; Future. The present is now, and there is no better time to start a business than now. $5-10k is more than enough to start a successful business with (I started my software company with $0, and my engineering company with only $10k); with the big money-trees costing next to...
