Okay Millionaires...Thoughts and Advice (Be nice!)

[Deanna]

If you guys have Slowlane businesses currently, what's keeping you from making them Fastlane? For most people, it's scale and time. How can you take your current businesses to the next level, so to speak? What's stopping you from hiring general managers to take your place (margins too thin, fear of losing control over the day-to-day, etc)? Are your businesses one man/one woman shows? Have you tried taking your businesses to the next level in the past, and did it work?

Yes, 1 man/woman shows. Hubby is an electrical contractor, well established, great word of mouth and excellent slowlane income. He could hire, but from what we've seen, time, quality and money would suffer. Then still limited by area. Mine is medical billing, for 20 years, since I got out of programming. Have had up to 12 employees, then back down to me and one other (it was ore like running a daycare). Again, bigger means time, quality and money suffer. We each know our industry really well and work much better than others we have hired...mine really isn't limited by location...but currently getting killed by obamacare (let's not go down that road) but just had to let my ft employee go for loss of contacts, so back to just me. Yes, margins too thin and for the jobs to be done right, would still have to be tied to our time.

IfYour idea seems Fastlane from what you've explained.

YIPPEE, THANKS

A little bit about Wordpress: Take some time and learn about how it all works. Maybe set up a Web site using Wordpress, testing it out. Play with it on your spare time. Encourage your husband to do it, too. It's much easier to learn than HTML and CSS, and MUCH MUCH easier to learn than a standard programming/scripting language. Wordpress is all about testing and seeing what works and what doesn't, and making your site's plugins flow together. It's extremely useful.

As someone who is also learning the game of Fastlane business, I have more questions than answers for you and hopefully someone more experienced than I will be able to help you based on your answers.

I really do appreciate all of your input.
(FYI, almost fell off the couch lol @ have my husband learn...NOT his thing, can barely work his email, strictly blue collar worker.)

Good luck to you as well, can you tell what YOUR up to?

I wish you and your husband luck. Hopefully he'll get a Fastlane started up, too.

Thanks.
