    Which story from MJs books hit you the hardest?

    BOOKS 
    For me it was when MJ met that Lamborghini owner in the beginning of The Millionaire Fastlane. I was 16 or 17 when I read the book and back then I thought that people who had Lambos were either athletes, actors or mafia :clench:. That one little story really opened my eyes that was was real.

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    Or they cut 4,000 jobs because of other reasons, but AI makes up for a more positive narrative? Lots of companies hired way too much staff during the COVID years and lots of them didn't grow as fast as they had expected, so layoffs are the natural consequence. Sure, in part those layoffs may...

    Teen Brothers Started a Side Hustle on Facebook Marketplace That's on Track for $1.2 Million This Year: 'Quit My Job and Went All In'

    Wise words: A lot of times, people tend to overcomplicate things, especially people with a high level of formal education. They will try to find a business that looks perfect on paper, which they mostly won't be able to find. And once they do, it usually doesn't work out because their...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    So I haven't posted any updates in a while and it's basically because I slipped along the way of building up this new business. Mental health, I guess? To be honest, I think I still haven't processed falling down from $250K/month to almost nothing within such a short amount of time. What...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Still working towards having an offer or simple modules that can make up an offer. Having to create fully customized quotes for each client, in my opinion, is already a process bottleneck in many cases, so I want to try to avoid that. On the other hand, I'm still getting to know the market, as...

    I have hyperthymestic syndrome, so these are probably shockingly accurate. However, note that these are specific pieces of advice to my 17-year old self, so they may or may not work out for you. Pick whatever resonates with you and discard what doesn't. Keep doing what you're doing. You're...

    Update: I'm still writing about TikTok-related topics on our website every day. I'm learning a lot in the process and I'm coming up with possible needs that we could cater to. Started working on the actual TikTok accounts of the agency's first clients. Got two sales calls already lined up for...

    Thanks for the kind words! As for your question: Built up dozens of content sites and monetized (mostly) via Amazon Affiliate and Google AdSense. We also had while label partnerships with huge media firms who weren't able to churn out content at our velocity and levels of quality. The...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    No hands-on experience yet, I basically just consumed all the YouTube videos and Udemy courses and books on the topic that I was able to find. And here's a podcast episode I listened to recently that just came to mind: ‎First Things THRST: E046 - “TikTok is the New AMAZON!”: The Future of...

    Update: Website is set up and content production has started. I am actually writing all of the content myself (aided by AI, Claude 3.5 is amazing), because I feel that it helps me gain a deeper understanding of the related matters, which is what I am looking for and what I need. Defined some...

    Update of the Day: I just briefed a really decent and affordable designer I know to work on the logo for the agency; the cost is $55. The result won't be perfect, but it will be good enough. I never spend too much on these types of details early on. I set up a WordPress website (yes, I'm old...

    I would not, at least not yet. However, there is no reason whatsoever for you not to get started right now. Invest a couple of hours each week into your fastlane business from now on, and it will pay off. You don’t need to put in crazy hours to find something that works. Be smart about what...
