Extreme inconsistency. Any ideas??

Hey guys,

For the last 1.5 years, I've been extremely inconsistent.

When I was trying to pursue ecommerce, I worked hard for 2 weeks, then I fell into a slump for 1 week(where I watched movies, youtube, etc., 24/7), get back to work, and the cycle kept repeating.

When I tried to start a website, I'd work hard for a week, then fall into a slump for a week, then I'd start working again and this cycle kept repeating.

Recently I decided to try Youtube out. I figured that since I used to...

Best Whiskey you've ever had

Almost had @amp0193 thread hijacked by @JAJT @Greg Rutkowski and @G-Man. We already know who the cigar aficionados are, but where are my whiskey and Scotch lovers?

How much should you follow up with potential prospects?

I've been sending cold emails to business owners.

For ones that get no response, should you communicate further, or just move on?

If a follow up is a good idea, how would I do it in this situation? I was considering calling them by phone after a cold email gets no response. But, I don't know what to say, and I don't want to seem too intrusive.

I'm curious whether any of you have songs in your collection that are "Unscripted/Fastlane approved".

Any Digital Marketing Course Recs? Getting back into ECom after 900K business

Lex DeVille's - Journey To Disillusionment

If you'd asked three years ago about grad school I would've laughed in your face. I hadn't even finished the undergrad degree I started in 2007, one of the longest, most agonizing experiences of my life. I'd hopped from one major to another and from school to school searching for the right program. All of those switches caused years of setbacks and added costs.

Going fastlane in Legal (Lawsuits & more)?

Hi,

I'm wondering if some fastlaners are successful in Legal?

The reason I'm asking, somehow I get involved into legal action all the time. I'm not really looking for trouble but somehow it just happens. For example I got sued by an international top model once. Then this year I've successfully sued my employer (did it by myself without lawyer) and I noticed that they don't have any clue what they are doing and just hopping most people are lazy or stupid enough to take their BS...

Going public with a new company

So I was researching stocks this week and realized nearly all of them (99.9%) are vastly overvalued (in my opinion). That made me think: Why not sell stocks instead of buying them?
Let's say I put 100k in dividend stocks that will make me 5k per year ... boring.
But if I put 100k in my own company and go public I'm sure it will be valued much higher than 100k.

I was a youth football coach for one year. That year, my team of 8th grade misfits went undefeated. At the end of the year, I was asked to never come back and coach again, because I wouldn’t teach the kids the way the “system” wanted me to.

I am looking to invest some of my cash to buy income-producing assets other than Real Estate. I would rather have smaller investments of max 100k USD to test the waters.

I have been researching options of buying online businesses with EmpireFlippers or from StoreCoach. I am looking for something that is passive where the operations can be outsourced easily and I think StoreCoach has a partner agency to outsource most of the work.

Maybe it doesn't have to be an online business.

Where to find a partner or two

Hi.

I am a software developer & manufacturing operations Specialist. I want to develop a solution to a professional standard that I've already built inhouse. Mix of software and hardware. While I'm capable of developing it alone - I don't think making all design decisions and then not having time to modify and update when it's time to sell is a hot idea.

I've enough funding to cover hardware, licensing, and legal costs for the first 3 years.

Question About Passive Lifestyle Model

This is something I've wondered about for a while but never got around to asking. As it is becoming pertinent now, I want to ask it. And if I am violating some board rules here, mod please remove.

In TMF, @MJ DeMarco says that the revenues from your business should be split this way:
- 40% for taxes
- 40% to fund your money system
- 20% to pay for your lifestyle

My question is, where does the money for business overhead/expenses come from? Or is this the breakdown AFTER...

Buying an apartment or a house?

Hello everyone,

I am having some thoughts on what my next step for housing should be. I am renting an 1-bed apartment for 370 euros for the past 6 years and would like to go to the next step.

Who do you think I should target with my web design agency instagram?

Hey. I am trying to grow my agency's Instagram right now, and I'm not sure who I should target.

The choices are:
- People who want to start a business, Wantapreneuers, Instagram's page goal is to motivate them and show them different strategies.
- Current Business owners in general
- Current Business owners who want to get a website (I'm assuming this is probably not the best choice since this is a pretty small market)

What do you think? Thanks in advance

So in a nutshell, LLC = less taxes VS Self Employed?

I may need to create an LLC this year and am a bit confused on the

if the profits pass through to you as an individual, won't the tax rate be equal to self employment tax rate?

so besides the Limited Liability benefits of owning an LLC, there are no real income advantages?
besides maybe business cost write offs like equipment and that type of stuff?
