    CENTS Framework - Business models + overhyped gurus

    IDEA 
    Hi all so the CENTS framework is an excellent framework but looking at most businesses, and I wish I honestly knew about it earlier. It is really true that some businesses are just lower effort and higher return. And even certain services/products are just better. For example I am currently...

    EXECUTION 
    This post is for anyone who wants to ignore Control in CENTS in their Fastlane business, like I did. I've been in my fastlane for several months now and have/had a few hurdles to overcome. A few skillset hurdles, but above all a lot of mental hurdles. Procrastination, self-doubt, lack of...

    Midjourney as a Case Study

    ASSERTION 
    "Midjourney, Inc" is an intereting company to take a look at. I think diffusion models for asset creation have more short term potential than LLMs do. Midjourney might be in a critical phase right now. They do focus on the product and listen to their users. They do micro-polls on their Discord...

    Podcasting CENTS?

    QUESTION

    Where do I read about ideas that satisfy the commandment of time?

    QUESTION 
    I would have thought it would be in the "time" tag but that's mostly people talking about how they spend their time. It's not in the "cents" tag or "commandments" tag. I found a tag called "commandment of time" and there's only 3 posts there. To me, "time" is the most important of the...

    Stop Trying To Make A Squirrel Fly!

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    This thread will have two parts. Part one is advice to aspiring entrepreneurs while part two is a request from those that have a good amount of business experience.
