Do you Favor the Fast Nickel or the Slow Dime?
I first heard about the “fast nickel/slow dime concept” early on in my investing days. Real estate people use it all the time as they would think about selling. Should I take less money now (fast nickel) or hold out for a higher price later (slow dime)?
I have applied this fast nickel/slow dime concept to all parts of my business life. I am always deciding between designing fast nickel models that generate immediate cash flow, or building long-term, slow nickel relationships and scenarios that have a better chance of paying a much higher return over the long haul.
I decided to take a poll among some of my friends and colleagues to ask what they thought about the concept of the “fast nickel and the slow dime”, which they preferred and why.
Boy! Talk about a loaded topic! The answers surprised even me, so I thought I’d share a few, and then chime in with my own.
“The way I see it, if your pipeline is stacked full enough, you have enough slow dimes coming in to maximize profit potential. The only reason to go for the fast nickel is out of desperation for work.” ~Pete
“For me, the fast nickel beats the slow dime any day. So buck common wisdom. Take a fast nickel over a slow dime.” ~ Judy
“Slow dime every time. Nickels usually wind up costing you a dime of effort anyway.” ~Ed
“I more often will hold out for the slow dime.
It's important to know I consciously decide with each deal what it will be. So there is not a straight answer except that I am usually looking for steady long-term residual income, so a slow dime.” ~ Ken
“A fast nickel is better than a slow dime. McDonald’s doesn’t make much profit per burger, but they sell a lot of burgers and they make a lot of profit.” ~ Jim
All pretty interesting, right?
As for me, I have always used both concepts in my business. When times are slow, I go for the fast nickel to pump up cash flow, and when times are good I am always working on the next slow dime project.
I have always believed that cash flow is king and if you need cash flow, fast nickels are easier to come by than the slow dimes. I have built businesses intentionally on the fast nickel idea because it allowed us the time and good fortune to work on some longer-term slow dime opportunities. When customers have a positive fast nickel experience working with us when risk is lower, we can earn enough of their trust so they can move with us into the slow dime level.
That being said, when you are able to create something of value to bring to the market place and it has long-term potential, I am a big fan of the slow dime— a return that continues to pay over and over turning lots of dimes into lots of dollars. You might ask why not go for the dimes to begin with and forget the nickels. After all, once it’s up and running, the slow dime business seems to be way less work than chasing the fast nickel. But we sometimes forget how long it took to build that slow dime business in the first place.
My opinion is to have a nice balance of both. This allows for a much calmer ride through the business cycles.

Why was the live audience so aloof and cold towards Melina and Ken Kennedy this past Monday on RAW? ?
In the end it's going to be the fans who spoil wrestling. WWE creates its shows based off the live reaction of the audience and a lot of wrestlers are influenced by that. WWE has finally been doing a good job lately of really being unpredictable and entertaining since the anniversary of RAW, and here you have the live audience sitting there like dopes on a rope while Ken Kennedy does a promo and while Melina gives an excellent performance in her return. More live audience reactions like that and Kennedy and Melina will be out of a job because of the stupid fans in the arena. It is our job as fans to let the WWE know when their doing a good job by chanting and writing compliments on what we liked on the net. Fans get it together
I actually expected Kennedy to get a lot better reaction when he returned. He pretty much had everyone eating from the palm of his hand when he left.
I thought that he was pretty stale though. His speech was pretty canned and boring. but normally the 'MISTERRRRR KENNNEDY' gets everyone fired up. Maybe they were all on Prozac?
As for Diva's, sorry, I dont get excited there. I make a sandwich when they come on, If I tape it, I fast forward, and if its live, its beer time.
