    MINDSET 
    Great thread! This one comes to my mind immediately since it's been on my whiteboard for a while now: GREATNESS IS A LOT OF SMALL THINGS DONE DAILY.

    I would LOVE some feedback on my new niche web design agency

    HOT! 
    Hi Brendan, Congrats on your first client and good job on the website redesign! It looks a lot better now. Some issues that need to be fixed: 1. The "contact" tab is not working. 2. There should be an "About us" page that tells more about who you are. 3. There should be links to your...

    I would LOVE some feedback on my new niche web design agency

    HOT! 
    Hi! Here are some random thoughts by a former practicing lawyer (currently employed in-house): I understand that you're just starting out and the website is still "under construction". However, the first impression of this current iteration of your website is not very good, unfortunately. It's...

    How To Properly Thank A Fastlaner

    MINDSET 
    WealthyMarketer, I just pressed "like", but I realize that's just equal to a regular "Thank you". Therefore, to show my appreciation, I'd like to say thank you for writing this very insightful post which is a great reminder to me (and probably all of us here) to always feel and properly express...

    So I learned how to ride a bike this weekend

    HOT! MINDSET 
    ZCP, thanks for a great post. Being an avid cyclist myself since I'm five, your message really resonated with me deeply. I remember when I was five my dad bought my first bicycle for me, in fact he took me along to the shop to buy it. At first I was using the training wheels until I was...

    Torn between two mentors with opposite viewpoints on startup process

    BookwormMitch, thanks so much for clarifying what the Lean Startup is about. I've only read Eric Ries' book (and only the chapters relevant at my stage) and have no first-hand experience yet. I've also just started learning from another book called Running Lean which puts the Lean Startup...

    Torn between two mentors with opposite viewpoints on startup process

    B.Cole, thanks a lot for your feedback. It also crossed my mind that Mentor B kind of got lucky with his approach and is an exception to the rule that 9 out of 10 startups fail, although he did tell me that his big success only came after he failed miserably with this first software company...

    Torn between two mentors with opposite viewpoints on startup process

    LiveEntrepreneur, thanks a lot for your reply which resonates with me a lot. I also had the impression that their respective advice probably stems from what worked for them in the past. Mentor B recounted to me his success story from the mid 90s (an innovative software for language learning...

    Torn between two mentors with opposite viewpoints on startup process

    Hi! Not sure if the general folder is the right place for this thread and sorry if this is going to be a long post. But I really need some advice, guys. Some background first: So I’ve been sitting on a startup idea now for almost six months (basically since I’ve been a member on this board)...

    Newbie needs advice on how to validate an idea using questionnaires, etc.

    IDEA 
    Hi rwyhan, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply to my question. Much appreciated! Also thanks for providing clarity for me. The two questions you stated really sum up my intention perfectly and that's what I should focus on. Asking biz owners directly is actually the main goal behind my...

    Newbie needs advice on how to validate an idea using questionnaires, etc.

    IDEA 
    Hi! I've had this idea of a B2B web service that is a combination of selling digital products and a lead generation model for the past five months, but I realize I haven't put in any real effort towards validating the idea and have not made good use of my time. Question is what is the best...

    Help needed: What percentage of profit share to offer collaborator?

    PEOPLE 
    Hi Startup Steve, thx so much for your reply. I really appreciate your feedback. It's interesting that you're looking at my idea as a platform for offering content created by third parties. I've never looked at my biz that way, but I can see that there are similarities and it's definitely food...

    PEOPLE 
    Hi everyone! I've posted basically the same question a week before but unfortunately got exactly ZERO replies. Maybe I was being too vague in my first attempt and pls excuse me if my question seems trivial to you, but I just need to ask again. Please, please someone reply this time (and pls...

    Excited to be in The Fastlane Forum

    INTRO 
    Hi Chris, you know I could talk about this topic for a long time, since I've looked both at the producer side as well as the consumer side of a guitar-course biz for a while now, just because it fascinated me endlessly how these people can make serious passive income just by doing what they...

    Chris, welcome to the forum! For the longest time guitar playing has also been my passion and I used to define myself as a guitar player/ music fan before anything else, but now I define myself first as an entrepreneur (though I'm a newbie myself and haven't made a dime yet, but your self-image...

    Depressed by wasted time with 0 accomplishment

    INTRO 
    Raphd, welcome to the forum. I can relate to almost everything you said in your intro. I've also been imprisoned in the slow lane for way too long with not much to show for it. I even remember discovering the self-help book genre (Jack Canfield's Success Principles, Think and grow rich, etc) as...

    Composure in confrontational situations

    PEOPLE 
    I agree with the advice you got in RL to take up martial arts in order to boost your confidence and awareness in confrontational situations. I've been practicing martial arts (Wing Chun) for the past 5 years now and have been experiencing a significant increase in general confidence and...

    How do you integrate collaborators into your (e-com) business?

    Hi! I'm currently working on executing a fastlane biz idea I had about a month ago. The business is selling a web service in combination with digital contents on a website with global reach (the digital contents are the final product that customers will be able do download). Both the content...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've just finished reading UNSCRIPTED (well, I've to admit I skipped over most of chapter 48 because I'm still a long way from actually being unscripted, besides I believe most of the financial instruments mentioned in that chapter will not be available to me anyway since I don't live in the...
