    What is it about this transition, do you think, snags the majority of people, in most cases anyway.

    Biggest Pain Point in Starting a Business

    This is for anyone who wishes to contribute... Looking back on your startup process, what, that you remember, was the most challenging pain point/obstacle that you faced, or what do you wish could have been easier or more straightforward to allow you to build your business? The more I see from...

    The Vicious Cycle Continues...

    True... I do know that many times, in the entrepreneurial world, it's not what you can do that has never been done before, but what you can do better or more efficiently than what's already out there. I think the question should then be: how could I find the delicate balance between doing...

    The Vicious Cycle Continues...

    Well, again, it looks as though I'm going back to square one. For a while now, it seems like I can't break the vicious cycle of developing an idea, getting psyched about it, looking into the idea further, seeing that there is already a service(s) for that market, and dropping the idea only to...

    An Idea for Self-Publishing...

    IDEA 
    I will definitely take that into consideration. Great point to help me think how I can be different from the rest. I will just have to see how I can automate that process to make it easier to scale. That's along the lines of what I'm thinking.

    An Idea for Self-Publishing...

    IDEA 
    One example that comes to mind right away is createspace involves the use of templates (or pre-made layouts) that almost always involves a lack of freedom for the user. I never liked the use of templates for that reason and always wanted something with more options for the user. My program...

    An Idea for Self-Publishing...

    IDEA 
    I'm working on an idea right now that, if all works out, will make the process of self-publishing a book (or whatever it may be) much easier and more straightforward. I won't go into detail about it now, but suffice it to say for now that it will be an auto-publishing web software that is...

    The internet sucks and is outdated.

    One question... how would you monetize something like that?

    Where does the profit come from?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Just out of curiosity, when it comes to programs such as facebook and microsoft, where does the profit/wealth come from if these programs are offered mainly for free? I know facebook participates in ads and microsoft offers more advanced programs for added profit, but I don't believe they...

    Creating a website from nothing

    I don't think such a software exists right now, but what if one could design a website, completely customized without any pre-made templates, from scratch without knowing any code or using any filing software. When I say totally customized, I mean everything and anything goes, complete freedom...

    Opportunities in word processing

    MARKETING 
    My upcoming product will based in the sector of word processing/text and graphic editing. As such, I want to analyze the demand in this area as much as I can, as I plan on beginning product development within the next two weeks. I know microsoft is the current "top dog" in this arena, but that...

    Progress is about to be made...

    EXECUTION 
    I've been visiting this forum now for just two months shy of two years. During these past two years, I've been doing everything short of making a move on something. Ideas have been tossed about aimlessly, without ever amounting to much; advice has been sought, to little avail; and fantasies...

    When it comes to content-based businesses...

    EXECUTION 
    how do you build one without violating the commandment of entry? It seems that there isn't a strong barrier to entry inherent in a content system. As MJ made clear in the book, you want at least a moderate barrier to keep "traffic" to a minimum, and thus competition. However, for content...

    Independent Personal Trainer?

    I don't know how "fastlane" this is, but I have heard of a growing trend in the fitness industry of independent personal trainers (that is personal trainers without gyms, so to speak). As an indie PT, all you have is your know-how and your clients. You meet with your clients in local gyms...

    fastlane fitness

    EXECUTION 
    That's exactly what will happen with my personal trainer business. My company name will gain exposure from the beginning while simultaneously generating revenue from my personal, group, or class consultations, seminars, etc. I believe crossfit started this way, though I could be wrong. My...

    fastlane fitness

    EXECUTION 
    Tried kickstarter before, didn't really have a good experience with it, may give Indiegogo a shot though. However, I've heard it mentioned that those sites work best for people who already have a good-sized following, or are already known to a point. Again, I'm starting from complete scratch...

    fastlane fitness

    EXECUTION 
    Consulted a marketing expert, tested the market (e.g. SWOT analysis), designed a business card and a brochure, and narrowed down my market to a target audience. All that's left to do now is to construct the website and write my PR piece for the local area. I meant just books, DVD's and the...

    fastlane fitness

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting product, but I was thinking of something more information-based (like "how-to" products).

    fastlane fitness

    EXECUTION 
    It's been a while since I visited this forum, but I'm about to "open" for business very soon and could use some fresh perspectives. I've written before about finding a fastlane road in the fitness (more specifically strength & conditioning) industry. My original approach was to write...

    advertising via direct mail

    I'm about to embark on the beginning stages (for the fifth time) of advertising for/marketing my business. For some ideas, I've turned to Dan Kennedy's The Ultimate Marketing Plan, which has delivered and given me some good ideas for marketing, one of which being direct mail advertisement...
