    The australianinvestor method of starting a business

    Writing your own business plan by yourself is a amateur activity for wanna-be business moguls. You hear of people slaving away for months/years on plans that are hundreds of pages long, full of technical language, and therefore, "excellent" beyond belief. I have been there, and it took me ten...

    Everytime you spend a dollar, how much are you really spending?

    When you spend a dollar, you are giving up the future income that dollar could be making for you. That said, how much do you think every dollar you spend today is worth? I just used this reasoning to decline buying stuff from Amazon and iTunes in the last 24 hours (along with the fact I have...

    A letter from a boss to employees about the economy (awesome)

    HOT! 
    I got this via email. I don't know who to credit as it was unsigned and forwarded by a friend. It is Australian, but it applies world-wide. The author nailed it.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    So I got myself an iphone. Goodbye, PDA. Anyway, there's a game called "Fastlane Lite". It's a car racing game. Played it for 30 seconds and it seems quite good so far :-)

    My $100,000 Christmas DVD project

    HOT! 
    I might be able to make myself $100K by Christmas with one product. To cut a long story short, I own a couple of companies, of which a small one is in media production. We're making a DVD for the religious market (I'm not religious, so this market is new to me), the contents of which don't...

    Quickbooks and homicide

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well, it's 10:13pm on a Saturday night, and being the smooth kinda guy I am, I'm in my store after hours working on it to prepare it for sale. I'm not homicidal anymore, but here's the story. 20 minutes ago, I was at the point where rage had overcome me in a manner akin to the "straw breaking...

    why is truly meaningful, valuable stuff so hard to do?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ignore me... my brain's fried, I just ate a pizza and I'm buzzing from an energy drink, but I'm also quite frustrated. I'm spending my limited spare time back at university doing some study which will ultimately get me a doctorate and the knowledge I create will (hopefully) help hundreds of...

    #%$@ Microsoft, #%$@ copyright tyrants

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have Windows Vista and Office 2007 which I paid Microsoft handsomely for. I purchased Visio on ebay ages ago before their tyranny really got going. The disc is perfect, and can't be a counterfeit. When I install Visio on my new laptop with said Office 2007, it works fine, until I try to...

    How old are you?

    Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see the average age of everyone here, so here's a poll. (I did search to see if this was done before and found nothing. If it was and I didn't find it, please delete this thread!) No need to write a reply, just do the poll :-)

    Do you have an automated investment strategy?

    I'm examining the automated portion of my investment plan to see if there are any improvements I can make, and I've been wondering what other fastlaners do. For me, all income goes through my automatic investment flowchart. Income enters at the top, gets split into three portfolios, two of...

    Combating staff theft with hidden cameras

    I think I may have a small case of staff theft at my store. Anyone ever installed a hidden camera to deal with it? It's almost not worth it, but it would be nice to confront her and ask why, especially when I've done a lot for her. It's not happening at the cash register, but I think it's...

    What's your ultimate purpose besides financial success?

    I presume we're all here with the goal of getting in the fast lane. Some are in it, some are close, some are far away, and some dream of it but will never get there. Regardless of your position, here's a question I'd like to ask: What's on the other side of the fast lane for you? Why do you...
