    Anyone is Australia?

    MEETUPS 
    It's good to see that there are few ppl from Australia in here. I haven't seen many others :( What are peoples thoughts on doing business here compared to the states? The market is 15 times as small, but the competition seems even less in some areas... P.S. I'm form Adelaide too :)

    Progress, If you can call it that

    EXECUTION 
    Ok so it's been over month and I have made some progress: Buzzdrones|Australias #1 Drone Store It's meant to be a landing site to see how many people are interested in purchasing the actual products. Went a bit overboard but I was struggling to see how I was supposed to test the market without...

    Wasted 3 years of my life doing nothing

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'll give you my two cents, given I was virtually in the same position as you are now. 1c: The fear of missing out is a bitch! But don’t let it fool you, it’s not real. It's just a ridiculous manifestation, created by your ego from a sense of inadequacy. A made up and totally fallacious...

    Progress, If you can call it that

    EXECUTION 
    Hi Guys, There's too many to mention, and I hate brown nosing, so first off I'd just like to thank everyone :) Anyway back to me now: So most of what I have done so far involves lots of reading about the particular niches I’m interested in, on blogs and competitors sites ect. Not much in...

    Nootropics & I (Progress Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    So it seems you guys are more akin towards the chemical side of things :smxG: Well, do you think it is ok to jump right on into the artificial stuff before you have everything else, the natural stuff, sorted? Say if someone has a bad diet, little sleep and infrequent exercise, is it still ok to...

    Nootropics & I (Progress Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    I have heard two things that are 100% anecdotal but still ten times as interesting... "Some people can function perfectly on 5hrs of sleep a night" "The brain only retains about 10% of useful information when reading" These two things give way to a plethora of "useful" strategies in the...

    27% Conversion on my Landing Page.... But What Does It Mean?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi Chevy, I was wondering... Is there any organic traffic built into your site (SEO) or are you completely relying on Adwords? I have seen the $100 Adwords coupons from a blog on landing pages (startup bros), is this like what you are doing... Back on topic: How do landing page metrics compare...

    Rich young professionals with zero financial education?

    Yes another great idea! That sounds like a great way to start. I think smart "slowlaners" are willing to learn the fastlane. Well perhaps the little bit faster "slowlane" :) Bogan-economics is an interesting topic, any more sources like this? I am unsure how much of a psyc background you need...

    What You Really Need Is A Market, Not An Idea - article by Paul Finn

    IDEA 
    Oh nice, thank you so much. I have considered testing a "fake" product/service but wasn't sure which one to pick and how to go about it. You've just solved the how, hopefully odesk will solve the what! :)

    What You Really Need Is A Market, Not An Idea - article by Paul Finn

    IDEA 
    The idea of looking for problems before solutions was something I took from MJ's book also. The big issue with ideas I am finding is that there are so many, everyones got them, and you run the risk of business polygamy trying to exhaust them all. Find a problem, listen to the people effected...

    Rich young professionals with zero financial education?

    Yeah I get what you guys are saying. It's an "other persons shoes" thing. So perhaps start with something that they "want" like a service to improve their efficiency or increase available time? I see now. Ok back to the drawing board :)

    Rich young professionals with zero financial education?

    I don't think superficial wants are as important as actual needs. Having said that, consumerism is just so predominant. That's one thing that I am going to struggle with and that's looking at it through other peoples eyes. I have no idea why McDonald's at 2am in the morning is more appealing...

    Rich young professionals with zero financial education?

    Here in Australia, there is a massive number of young twenty somethings making $100,000+ salaries, almost with their eyes closed. I am not so sure about the USA, but here if you have completed a trade (electrical, building ect.), the amount of money available is just astonishing. Having said...

    Fastlane resources

    I was looking for things to research and places to find them. TMF is a great place for planning and direction and Black hat world is great for IM. But there are a few areas I am having trouble with... Picking a niche - Market research/Economics Business/Finance - Actual numbers to shoot for I...

    Your looks have a major impact on your life

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Apparently that greek guy who went out with the Kennedy's sister and almost took over USA thought looks were pretty important. I think its pretty common sense that they are... It seemed to do something for him anyway. Its not only about commanding respect from others, but respecting yourself...
