    Free Concert Tickets - Act Fast!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Reeform at the Roxy - Sat 4/27! My son’s Rock Reggae band Reeform is killing it in San Diego and are rapidly building their fanbase in OC and LA. Due to contractual requirements with the Belly Up in SD, they cannot promote another show 30 days either side of a Belly Up show - hence, no...

    A journey of a thousand posts

    EXECUTION 
    I’m no numerologist, but 1000 posts deserves some reflection. I joined April 12, 2012. It’s not been a full year yet, but coming up on it. I’ve learned so much here. I’ve improved my life dramatically since I joined. I have three different ventures going; I’ve got a small design...

    Need your vote!!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is a shameless plug for my son's band, Reeform. First - The band's doing great! They're scheduled to play April 12th with The English Beat in Hermosa Beach. I can't wait for this show! Second - 91X, a local alternative radio station, runs a monthly contest to feature local talent every...

    The Secret of Life from Steve Jobs in 46 Seconds

    MINDSET 
    I wish I could remember how I found this gem. It was likely a link right here on TMF. Regardless, I find this absolutely exhilarating. This is copied from The Secret of Life from Steve Jobs in 46 Seconds, so credit where credit's due. There are videos in that link as well, but I'm happy with...

    Let's Make a Deal

    OFF-TOPIC 
    For those of you who don't know Let's Make a Deal, it was a show in the 70's (mostly, I think) where the host Monty Hall would go to random people in the audience and ask them if they'd like some kind of gift. $50, maybe. Then he'd say "Or, would you like to choose what's behind door #1?"...

    How do I find the owner of a motel?

    REAL ESTATE 
    SWMBO and I were kicking around an idea I thought I’d follow up on. She and I used to enjoy staying in La Jolla at the Shell Beach Motel. It has since turned into a dive. I believe the place is now managed by another hotel down the street, and they’re running it into the ground. Broken...

    Looking for labeling advice

    I need to make adhesive labels for the outside of my cooling towels. I can go to Staples and get Avery labels, but I wonder what other options are out there short of having a full run from a print shop?

    Need advice on taking video

    One of the tasks on my list for August is to make a product video for my HeatBuster Cold Scarf. Problem is, I don't have a decent video camera. Should I expect adequate video quality if I use my iPhone? What if I use my digital camera on video mode? Do I need to shop around for a Go Pro HD...

    Dragging my son onto the fastlane

    MJ, you've created a monster here! All the effort I've been putting in to rebranding imported products for sale here has prompted some family discussion. My son is now infected with this concept and has taken the bull by the horns. A couple days ago he received his first shipment of the...

    I bought some magic beans

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Time to come clean. Reading thru the https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/general-business-discussion/31502-how-buy-ferrari-20k.html thread, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. I went to Flippa and spent a little time seeing what they had going on. I found an auction that looked...

    Mom sucked into MLM - time for an intervention

    PEOPLE 
    My retired mother has signed up with FHTMUS, which is a MLM company selling several online services. A little background - she signed up with Amway about 35 years ago, and took me along at age 16 too. I quickly ran numbers to show how that could scale huge, and made an enthusiastically...

    Looking for a link - how to outsource

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm trying to find an article I read recently about how to outsource your website development. The advice I remember from it is to break down your project into small pieces. Hire three different people to work on the first part of the project. You'll know after they deliver who is the guy to...

    Here's a need expressed on this very forum all the time

    People often say there should be a feature that alerts them to Rickson9 posting something new. Perhaps not very scalable within this forum, but perhaps could be something broadened to include any forum. Think people would want a centralized RSS feed of their favorite posters on various forums...

    Fiddybuck.com, or, The Cart Before the Horse

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Some time back, I bought the domain names fiddybuck.com, fittybuck.com, and fiftybuck.com. I figured it was a good play on the name 50cent, and it's memorable without crossing any trademark boundaries. :icon_super: The plan was to offer three things on fiddybuck: Services wanted and offered...
