Summer Time

[PaulRobert]

Well, fellow fastlaner's summer has come for some of us and that means vacations and better weather. I have finished my last final today and I am leaving for vacation this evening for three and a half weeks. Being on vacation doesn't mean that you should just forget everything. A little piece of advice, is that fastlane ideas are everywhere. Be observant of what bugs you and what makes other tourists unhappy. That little complaint can be turned into $$$$.
Peace everyone,
Lamboman.

Then I'm full of opportunity

But yea, I took quite a few notes when I was in NYC last yr on vacation and definitely need to get back to "note-taking" and finding a good way to organize those ideas(as in the other threads about How Do You Manage Your To-Do List and Find That You Have a Lot of Ideas), but most importantly take action!!!!

Basically- be a problem solver for others and you will be successful :coolgleamA:

I wish I could take three weeks off a year. Ahh back in the good old days when summer vacation ment something. Partying, drinking, fishing and sailing, with some work thrown in for good measure. Ahh the good old days! Enjoy them they won't last long.

Well, I finally came back and with a head full of ideas and plans. What I have noticed is that I have become a totally different person since last year. I believe that this forum has a had a substantial positive influence on me. Being on this forum, reading and contributing ,changes your mindset for the better. I hope everyone is enjoying these beautiful months and uses them well. I am happy to be back , and I am ready to contribute and hopefully help others.

May I ask what have you worked on towards your goals and exiting the ratrace? I was just wondering, since I watch many of the young members. I have a 16 year old son and have watched him work his business this summer. If I could just get him to post what he did, what he learned and what he earned this summer.

I look forward to hearing from you. No pressure if you don't want to reply. LOL

Well, this summer has been my most productive summers ever. As a matter of fact, I finished building my prototype yesterday to the best of my ability. Throughout the summer I've been devouring books on inventions, patents, product development, and self development. I have run through dozens of ideas for potential products, researching them and eliminating them. In the middle of August though, a problem came to me and my idea literally evolved in my head in a matter of seconds. I spent the rest of my summer building different prototypes from different materials, some of them worked, some of them failed. Well, this one works flawless and I am ready to file a provisional patent. I am now in the process of finding a patent attorney and then launching my business, hopefully this fall. This whole process would not be possible if I didn't join this forum. Taking action and using your time wisely is a priceless lesson I learned here.

I am also beginning the college application process, which is just sucking all the energy out of me, but I am trying to get it out of the way as fast as possible, so I can get my business rolling.
