    Should I Become a Programmer or Just Outsource?

    I've been considering the same question with the marketing platform that I am working on. My partner brought up a great point. Outsource. A) Coding is becoming a commodity and everyone can do it. B) There are so many tool out there that allow you to build a nice site without coding and, usually...

    My mornings are lacking. Need advice!

    MINDSET 
    My mornings consist of a glass of water then a walk/bike ride. Normally a bike ride depending on the day. I used to jog but I was a catcher for about 18 years so you can understand that I have terrible knees. It is a lot harder to get the workout that I used to from jogging but much better on my...

    A short Introduction .....

    Congrats on signing up, awesom-o! This is great community for people like you. What a great start to your life! I own a tutoring company which isn't Fastlane at the moment; however, I'm building the infrastructure in a way that franchising is the goal. Once that infrastructure is in place, then...

    Who knew it was so simple!

    FUNNY 
    Just read your blog post, MJ. Awesome write up and thanks to AKN for the original post. While I was reading your article, MJ, I tried to guess the 4 "crap shoot gambles" before I read the articles. Of course, I got them all right! My my, how I've learned. I can remember like it was only...

    what type of entity for joint venture?

    I am also not a lawyer but I just have a question. If you both had LLCs before you met/started this business, wouldn't you want to keep them separate since you have other interests? Personally, I love the LLC (at least in TN). It is easy for taxes, easy for upkeep, provides more protection...

    Hey MJ, How do you deal with...

    I've read MJ's book and I'm well on my way to being very wealthy and I plan to keep it, along with picking up (pun intended) a few more down the road. I love pickup trucks. I grew up with them and I love the way they drive. The car has no implication on the person (there are exceptions to every...

    Favorite Board Game

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Oooooo...chess is a good one. We are currently visiting my wife's family in Richmond, VA and I just picked up a sweet new chess set from her house. It has been collecting dust for 20 years. All of the pieces are hand carved and it has been used MAYBE once...love it! JC

    Favorite Board Game

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Every once and a while we all need a break. I love to dive into a good book (western or fantasy) most of the time. Lately, a group of entrepreneurs that I've brought together to meet with on a monthly basis wanted to get together twice a month. Once for business and once for pleasure. The first...

    To Have, or Have Not... Marriage

    HOT! 
    I got married this past May. I'm 25 years old. I've never been so happy or more successful in my entire life. I married my best friend. She supports me, helps me in any way and would rather have me be a struggling entrepreneur than a corporate slave because it makes me happy. Best decision I...

    Netflix Price Increase - Sidewalkers Unite!

    HOT! 
    Percentages are a tricky metric to use though... When gas rises from $3.00 to $3.50, that is only a 15% price increase with no value added, yet it has a tremendous effect on your cost of living. You could go from spending $2,000 a year on gas to $2,300! The Netflix price increase was only an...

    Netflix Price Increase - Sidewalkers Unite!

    HOT! 
    Another point is how these people are banding together for this cause. I have seen countless tweets, comments on Facebook, etc. regarding the price hike. You are right, Maximus, in that I would not welcome a price hike in any service that I currently enjoy (electricity, water, etc.). No one...

    HOT! 
    Great blog post, Kurtyordy! You should distribute this to all the crazies out there. Priceless. Still laughing over this...it's funny because it's true! I definitely still plan on keeping the streaming service. We don't really watch TV but when we do it is always classics, westerns or...

    Netflix Price Increase - Sidewalkers Unite!

    HOT! 
    After thinking about it, I assume that is one of the downsides of providing such a low cost service. With my business, I've raised prices and there was no sort of revolt at all. Everyone loves what I provide and would gladly pay what I charge...probably even more. But when you are such a low...

    Netflix Price Increase - Sidewalkers Unite!

    HOT! 
    So as you all have probably seen, Netflix is seperating their streaming and hard DVD services. Together, they used to cost $9.99/month. Now, they are $7.99 each ($7.99 for streaming and $7.99 for one DVD in the mail). Now I don't like prices raising just as much as the next guy, but I have...

    Finally have the guts to say something!!! Guidance plz!!!!!!!!!!!

    My business is very similar to yours, except in the tutoring field. I book the gigs and set up tutors to fill them. Of course, I have a different approach to tutoring, a very creative/outside-the-box style of tutoring. Regardless of the content (my curriculum or your childcare), the model is...

    Cash Flow 101 Game?

    MINDSET 
    I totally agree with bflbob. I did buy the computer game for when I felt like playing alone, which was a significantly lower cost. I decided not to purchase the board game since it was so expensive. I found a club and it was great! Once a week I got to play the game, talk about the strategies...
