    [Free Giveaway] The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod

    BOOKS 
    I'm going to read this book either way. I have become a father at 2:30 am. Longest day and a half of my life (went in to be induced on Friday and he didn't arrive til almost 3 am on Sunday and went straight to ICU) but the moment that man came out (and I just tucked him in bed which I don't get...

    Business ideas for 6 year old kids

    IDEA 
    I am in Enon (right outside of Dayton) but from Cincy. Let me know where you are - perhaps grabbing a beverage sometime would be beneficial? CarrieW - James A did an AMA on here a while back - look into it. Great mind and his books were well worth reading. Joe

    Business ideas for 6 year old kids

    IDEA 
    We are starting (with my 8 year old) a poop pick up business. I'm showing my kid how to set it up, go through a checklist, we've got a flyer we're going to test our neighborhood out with, learn to knock on doors, present the idea, etc. From there I'm going to show him that I as the investor...

    (SEO Fastlane) Would this be helpful to you?

    HOT! 
    I've learned a lot from the guy thus far and his posts have added value. I'd be interested to see the steak behind the sizzle! Sounds like it may not happen but learning SEO from someone who has apparently positioned themsevles as an expert would be beneficial - it would allow us to weed...

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

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I've thought about this many times over the years as I'm 10 years out of 25. I would tell myself many of the little tidbits I've learned over the years but let's face it I would not have listened to some "old guy" who thinks they know everything. But if I saw myself 10 years ago... Your...

    What Slowlane Jobs Can Be Beneficial For The Fastlane?

    SLOWLANE 
    I went into accounting and finance to learn about business. It has taught me a lot and I learned marketing along the way but it is still a job and I haven't gotten into some of the aspects that would help so I've learned those along the way. As said previously in the end it will depend on...

    Legally hiring and paying an employee

    PEOPLE 
    Yes hiring employees entails a lot more than people think. No you don't need a CPA, but if you must hire someone I would highly recommend outsourcing any payroll since there are quite a few reports to consider, law changes, etc. It can be a bit time consuming and worth the fee you'll pay to...

    I am an accountant and work for a CPA firm in Ohio. I took on that major with finance (while learning sales/marketing on the side) b/c I thought it would be a great way to make connections, learn entrepreneurship, learn the inner workings of a business, etc. It has done all that. It has also...

    Service based business marketing

    MARKETING 
    Yes with local you have to get out there and meet people. People won't actively search for you online as I found out the hard way. Couple things we are trying is to first set up a site and generate leads (I have seen this work for others in the past). Our goal is to do the local online...

    paying members and taxes

    TAXES | REGS 
    You will need to have them fill out a W9 form. MJ is correct that you only submit the 1099 upon payments above $600 for the year in total, but get this information upfront upon sign up (which I have done electronically through affiliate programs so it can be automated online) or just post a...

    Better for Fastlane idea...Forum..Website...Or does it matter?

    IDEA 
    What is your goal with this site? Why not do both (if you have time b/c yes a forum can be time consuming and a headache if you can't protect it and monitor it properly)? Authority sites do very well in the search engines if you optimize it properly and build quality backlinks. Google is out...

    This business looks like it could go fastlane

    I've had this same idea. Constantly being in a hurry and being on a healthy diet that consists of 6 meals a day that is agonizing to prepare all the time, finding fast food, with a drive through, that didn't cost $10 per meal was my thought. It would cater to the health conscious and body...
