The idea of fastlane has molded into my mindset that when everytime someones mentions business ideas that arent within the CENTS framework like "Reselling" "Dropshipping" I instantly dislike them. But recently I wanted to be open-minded and see what there results are, and they are shocking. Several of them have great successes with so little effort. I get jealous when I spend hours for it to give little to no revenue but then stupid people get thousands of dollars by putting so little effort. Any thoughts?
