    Finding USA suppliers....

    Wow, looking forward to your updated book... when will that be ready? OT: Love your direct response marketing site. Did you do it, or have someone else set it up for you? You need images in the customer reviews section!

    IDEA 
    I think this is a great idea. There are a ton of kids that look for outside coaching and training. Make it full color and tons of images... and get a good illustrator to put overlay motion / action onto the images (lines, arrows, etc). I would say this though: your target market is way more...

    Finding USA suppliers....

    Yeah... I totally agree. In my experience you have to know your industry and linkedin is pretty much the only effective way if you don't know the players in your industry. I used Maker’s Row - Manufacturing, Sourcing, Production Education once, it was pretty cool and the connection was great...

    How do you Extract Wealth from your Fastlane?

    I like to put it into a new company. Its my temptation to let it all play. So, for me, I am tempted to not extract... so I make a standard rate. Mine is a bit complicated and I was wondering what others do? Yes, I like land. Open land... with mineral rights.

    How do you Extract Wealth from your Fastlane?

    tl;dr How, or at what rate do you extract wealth, and where do you put it? Long One thing that slowlaners often have that fastlaners don't: the drive to save... to hold on to their money. This actually usually disgusts me, but... Slowlaners are taught the religion of wealth accumulation. I...

    Alternative to Paypal....Google Wallet?

    Right, but you can implement more than one payment method. Although I do encourage starting with a single method (don't kill yourself on startup), I also encourage every e-commerce site to include PayPal, Amazon, and standard Visa MC Discover AMEX.

    Alternative to Paypal....Google Wallet?

    Google Wallet [crickets] ...no one uses it. PayPal, @GSF is right, you can open one for your business... incorporate or llc or whatever you need to do. You can get a new account that way. Even though @OverByte is right, "...in general I had a poor experience with it" (who doesn't), PayPal is...

    where to get generic website private policy, etc etc

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I am not an attorney, and especially I am not your attorney. That said, I have never been sued over privacy policy, emailing, cookie usage or terms of use. The reason everyone has them is that the credit card companies require them. Its a way for the credit card companies to offload as much of a...

    Tithing/Donating to Charity

    I do not consider myself religious, I do not go to church, and I find any religion that tells any adherent to follow any other human a sham. I mean no offense to those whose beliefs are different than mine. So, that said... I worship the Existing One. I pray to him morning, midday and night. I...

    INTRO 
    Hey, this forum is about DeMarco's book, and his book is absolutely worth the money. But the main business skill that anyone needs is how to sell something. Anything. There is a great thread on here about buying and selling on craigslist. The Craigslist idea does not reflect all the good ideas...

    Is todays education wrong??

    HOT! 
    Modern "education" is wrong. That's about all I care to say on that subject. I let my kids pursue what they love and work the rest in as necessary. Most of my kids can speak to eachother in ASL sign langauge, and none of them know anyone who is deaf. My oldest three are considered by most...

    What to do when you find out your idea is taken

    IDEA 
    It does depend on the idea and the size of the market, but my greatest success to date was this: I took a dozen well engineered health products from companies that would allow me to rebrand. Then I sold them better. That was it. They were already selling fine on their own, but were cool letting...
