    Bank account tied to PayPal? Beware.

    HOT! 
    Another good reason to use Roboform. It's not foolproof but most trojans are keyloggers. Because no keys are actually depressed using Roboform even if the trojan is looking for keystrokes it will not see them. Again, it's not 100% foolproof but serves as another layer of protection- it's handy...

    If you aren't using Facebook ads you are missing out!!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The problem with Facebook is it is a social network, not a search engine where you are tapping into traffic where someone is actively looking for something. It needs to be approached very differently and for some markets it just doesn't work. I don't care if you get 50,000 likes...how much...

    Blogger or WordPress -- Which is better?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm assuming you're talking about the free hosted version of both, in which case, the answer would be "neither". NEVER build your business on someone else's platform. Many people learn that the hard way. Otherwise, the self-hosted version of WP is great.

    75,000 Applied for 2,000 Local McJobs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I firmly believe that this is the attitude of successful people. There is no room for ego in the equation. When my friends talked to me about my choice to drop out of school years ago it basically boiled down to "what will people think!?" if I wasn't in school. They still worry about...

    Do It NOW

    MINDSET 
    You've only failed when you give up. As much as you hate your life, if you're not dead or in bed- you can still do it. Everyone has reversals of fortune, some lasting years if not decades...but you can still cross the finish line.

    Anonymous or Not

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I would suggest building a brand around your site/company rather than yourself anyway. I can't tell you how many guys wish they could sell their company but can't because their entire business is "them". Brand your company/domain/site/business, not yourself. You could even play it from the...

    10 million dollar deal (Wish me the Best!)

    Part of being successful in business is being able to handle criticism without internalizing it and making it personal, and being able to answer tough questions. You came to a forum of wealthy people, many of us having done multiple millions of dollars worth of deals, and proclaimed to have a...

    10 reasons you shold never get a job

    I used to think this same thing, but now not so much. Sure, there's a lot of lazy people in the US sitting on their a$$ collecting welfare. But I would say outside of a country like China where people are working in sweatshops 100 hours per week, you aren't going to find any harder working...

    1k a month by summer

    First off, you are violating Fast Lane methods by setting an income goal instead of setting that aside and focusing on market needs and wants. Fortunately, you have chosen a niche with a definite need/want. You are in an insanely competitive market...my first question is, "where will you find...

    Have web-based opportunities peaked?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Some things are tougher, some things are easier. There's always room for great ideas. A lot of people made big money during the dot com boom, but a lot of that was speculation and those businesses were doomed anyway- they just made an exit at the right time. I know all sorts of people that...

    This forum shouldn't be free

    HOT! 
    It makes a lot more sense to leave this forum free and then monetize that traffic with advertisements and promotions targetted to entrepreneurs.

    Ok, I'm a little confused because you applied for a patent but didn't form a company yet? Or am I misunderstanding?

    If I Haven't Succeeded By Mid 20's, Can I Still Succeed?

    HOT! 
    Age only gives you more experience and ability. How could more assets ever be a roadblock to success? The main reason people feel that they've "missed their chance" is because of tunnel-vision on their past mistakes and regrets. All we have is today. A lot of young guys make big money and fail...

    A New Englander Looking for a New Way

    This is not fastlane...what YOU like means nothing. It's about market needs and wants. And I can speak from experience- if you do manage to turn something you love into a business you will very quickly suck the joy right out of that activity.

    Why do so many people resent the rich?

    Why do people resent the rich? Because most of the world is essentially either already a socialist/fascist/communist area or is rapidly moving towards becoming one (I include the USA in that description as well). The key to an effective tiered social structure and control of the masses is...

    liability

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Who is going to be giving this free advice? How will they be paid? This is probably something that needs fleshed out a bit more and then reviewed by an attorney. Liability insurance would also obviously be something important to look into.

    PhxMJ, why did you have to work @ dead-end jobs ? And

    Anyone who is more concerned about what others think about them than fulfilling their dreams is going to have big trouble reaching those dreams. EGO IS THE DREAM KILLER! Besides, how hard is it to give an ambiguous answer when someone asks? "I'm self-employed" "I'm a web developer" "I work in...
