    Lord of the Sties: Anwar Faisal ... worst customer service ever, highest profits?

    He has a large supply of a scarce resource that is in high demand, and he charges low prices for it. He can afford to have shitty customer service. The whole notion of "How can he succeed with shitty customer service?" shows a simplistic understanding of business that doesn't square with real...

    Stanford - Tech Entrepreneurship Class

    I have a few ideas around ed-tech. I think starting with something (IE, an idea), is better than not starting because you don't have everything (IE, a mentor).

    Stanford - Tech Entrepreneurship Class

    https://venture-lab.org/venture13 Anyone want to create a study/accountability group for it? One of my goals within the next five years is to get the equivalent of an MBA, simply through the books I read and the courses I take. I think it could be great to get a fastlane team going.

    Is going to college a waste of time?

    HOT! 
    The truth is, college is still a worthwhile investment. There's still an economic incentive to go to college, and provided you're not an idiot, you'll be able to get your money back. The question then becomes, is college the BEST use of 40,000- 100,000 dollars and four years? Or could you get...

    "Thinking about starting a business? Here is why you shouldn’t!"

    If you don't already know these things, you shouldn't be going into business. This shit is going to be hard, and thinking it's all roses and sunshine isn't gonna get you very far.

    How to get a Girl in 10 seconds

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    I agree with everything you said. I have done a lot of actually going out, meeting woman, figuring out who I want, and seeing what works. Offering value? Key concept. If you suck, you're not going to get a woman (at least not for every long.) @theag, a lot of a beginning a relationship is...

    How to get a Girl in 10 seconds

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Let's say you were training a new salesforce. Would you hire one of your customers with no experience in sales to train your sales force, or an experienced salesperson with a proven track record of selling to that demographic. Also, I don't know why the assumption is that they're single. At...

    Is Your College Going Out of Business?

    I hate that he just assumes that you should go to college, because that's where you "find yourself"... what an overpriced way to find yourself. That being said, I shared the article when I saw it in my reader. A growing number of people are realizing that the current model of education is...

    How to get a Girl in 10 seconds

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    As a guy who's asked for a lot of girls numbers, and has gone on a lot of dates, and had relationships with a lot of women, I can tell you that the quality of the girl literally has nothing to do with how likely she is to give out her number.

    (Internships) Where to train at altitude?

    PEOPLE 
    In addition to Inc. 500 companies, try researching individual entrepreneurs who you'd be interested in. Find a problem they have, and offer to create the solution for them for free. Start out with remote internships, and then when you've proven yourself ask for one in person. The goal here is...

    Most Effective Habit For Entrepreneurs

    MINDSET 
    This is the book that changed everything for me. I still maintain a mission statement that I update regularly, and 'Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood' is still one of the most profound and useful statements I have ever heard about interpersonal communication.

    Do you use adblock+?

    MINDSET 
    If so, do you feel like an a**hole for nullifying someone else's business model? Do you consider it stealing? I sometimes wonder if I should turn it off... but it just makes the web so much more enjoyable.

    I LOVE this quote. Is it alright with you if I use this quote in a salesletter I'm writing (With proper attribution of course)? It's so hard to get entrepreneurial types to see why they should 'waste time' on building something for someone else before they go off to build something on their own.

    The Fastlane Journal

    Haven't updated this in a while, forgot to copy my last few updates from the mastermind to here. Anyways: Thought for the week: My biggest weakness right now is lack of mentors. A lot of that is due to my own insecurities. I often have people who indicate willingness to mentor, but I don’t...

    I love that you're documenting your progress, and wish you the best of luck. But it's gonna bug the shit out of me that every time I see the thread title that it says "Dairy" instead of "Diary".
