Hey everyone,

I usually post in the blog section, but decided to come over here and show some love.

If you haven't been keeping up:

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/blogs/ceoarob/45-day-1936-breakthrough.html

This is the hottest new blog on TheFastlaneForum. It's my personal journey that I've been updating with my unedited, unadulterated thoughts. I update it daily about everything that I learn, experience, and do in regards to living in the Fastlane.

This is a challenge that I've set for myself to see how well I could fill a need.

Any and all feedback or ideas is definitely welcome and appreciate.

-----------------------

So the Holidays are ripe with cheer and spending. Since both Christmas and New Years are coming up, here certainly has to be a way that one could get in on the action.

Last night, I decided to set my first financial challenge to myself - turning 200 dollars into 2000.

I currently have 200 dollars in cash. I can transfer that to my debit card, or do whatever I want with it.

My question is: How could I turn that $200 into $2000 within 30 days?

------------

Naturally, I started asking questions like: What would be the best investment to make? How can I get rich off of gambling? What lottery could I win?

A couple of ideas popped into mind.

While I was brainstorming, this is what came up:

-Gambling
- Poker
- **Buy Insurance leads and work them
- Create something and sell it
- ****Find a need or create one and fill it
- Forex
- Stocks
- Bonds
- Investments
- Real Estate

------------

Since filling a need was the most appealing of them, I decided to go a little bit further...

I asked myself, "What could I do that would help make someone's life easier, better, or just simpler?"

These ideas started coming to mind:

- Sell books. Specifically, sell Ebooks. Take a Holiday public domain ebook, edit it, give it a complete redesign, add some pictures and illustrations to it, make the text more readable, and market it as a single book or a package of books that would be considered "Good Holidays Reads"

- Put up a website for Xmas, New Years deals, coupons, or savings. Since there's going to be alot of seasonal traffic, I could at least capitalize on that.

- I could create a website that has something to do with Hanakuah or Kwanzaa - it seems that those holidays kinda go missed, lol. Or it could even be some extremely obscure holiday. I actually don't have a good business system to capitalize on that, but the raw idea just came to mind...

-------------

So I'm curious, what would *you* do in order to take $200 dollars and turn it into $2000

I'm interested in everyone's feedback. Cheers.
