    do you guys think that learning to code is needed to start an online business

    IDEA 
    I'll second what @Oso had to say here. Although, yes, learning to code is, in itself, a useful skill to learn, whether for your personal implementation or an asset for the future. However, if your goal is to build something Fastlane, you have to identify the large problem that you can solve...

    Looking To Join The FASTLANE

    INTRO 
    To be honest, felt long-winded. I plucked out the points that sound most relevant to the service you're trying to offer. Maybe you can elaborate on how these applications are supposed to help. Also, I understand the Donate button is a call to action in hopes of producing some kind of revenue...

    Introducing Myself (24, London)

    INTRO 
    I wish you the best as you figure things out. If you feel like you're going in circles and don't know what to do, I'd recommend you start with anything. This can mean picking up a job at your nearby retail store or coffee shop or something related to your field of study. Although you may...

    In your mentor's words, the "change in your paradigm" is what separates us, even those within this forum. It's beautiful to know he fought his fight and can now be the warrior in the garden. At the same time, I can also admire your ambition to keep hunting. Both of you are worthy of admiration.

    Starting a Journey

    INTRO 
    13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin is a good place to start. @heavy_industry lays a lot of good points for you to start with. A subsequent result of self-discipline is that there are going to be a lot of people that don't understand you or won't be able to relate to you...

    how can i become a fastlaner at 15?

    INTRO 
    I'll second that which was mentioned by @smarty . As you'll understand when you finish Fastlane as well is that the opportunities aren't the same for everyone. Although there are some skills or characteristics adopted by Fastlaners after reading the book, you should take with a grain of salt...

    Looking To Join The FASTLANE

    INTRO 
    It's great that you want to offer a solution to a problem you're seeing. However, here's a quick opinion of briefly visiting your site: Your colors, images, and font all seem very busy and tight. The formatting can use more empty space, better spacing and simpler fonts. The homepage also...

    My Journey of running a B2B Agency

    EXECUTION 
    If you have a hypothesis to start with, these businesses may be more inclined to share their struggles if you have something specific to reference. Start with an assumption - their software is outdated, they don't engage with their social media, or they manage their own bookkeeping. You can...

    NY: Queens, Long Island networking

    MEETUPS 
    Pardon me if I'm not allowed to post group invites, but I definitely don't have the intention of promoting a business. If any of you have scoured Facebook in hopes of finding a group to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, I'm sure you've run into the problem that they're all just trying to...

    How do you find like-minded people around you?

    MINDSET PEOPLE FEEDBACK 
    Exactly as you described, I want to find the people that just want to talk business. My college friends and teammates know I'm a bore to be around because I don't have much interest in their usual conversations and interests. I want to grow my business; i want to help my friends grow their's...

    How do you find like-minded people around you?

    MINDSET PEOPLE FEEDBACK 
    I appreciate the feedback. I finished both TMF and Unscripted a while ago and joined the forum but I didn't see or feel the value of engaging at the time. My mind was clearly still very antsy and unfocused. But since then, now having my own Fastlane project I'm happy to commit to for the next...

    How do you find like-minded people around you?

    MINDSET PEOPLE FEEDBACK 
    Right, that's where my mind was going with this post: where to find and get to know people locally... Facebook entrepreneur groups have been far from what I expected them to be, and the one or two Meetup groups also haven't met my expectations. I definitely appreciate this forum and community...

    How do you find like-minded people around you?

    MINDSET PEOPLE FEEDBACK 
    I've offered it and other books I've enjoyed and have helped me shape our company. He generally hasn't expressed any interest in reading any of my suggestions. Maybe I'll revisit this conversation with him in a few weeks as we see our business ramp up a little. Perhaps that spark will be a...

    How do you find like-minded people around you?

    MINDSET PEOPLE FEEDBACK 
    Maybe the answer to my question is somewhere else in this forum that I haven't spent enough time navigating through. Does anyone else feel like they wish someone understood them a little better than their peers or close friends, at least with respect to having a Fastlane mindset? Sure...

    Starting an online business, cold calling clients. Questions.

    EXECUTION 
    Even if you're by yourself, an LLC might still be best in the beginning. With regard to cold calling, you should use your own name. The point of cold calling and convincing people to buy from you is because they trust 1) the product/service, 2) the company, and most importantly, 3) You. If you...
