    What’s your worst Desert Moment and where are you in the process?

    MINDSET 
    I am still in the desert (providing for a familiy, learning and hustling to help others), and I think the worst moment will always be right before you leave it, since the feeling will get worse every day, until the odds finally make it so that you leave the desert. Since we are manipulating...

    Incoming entrepreneur, switching to the fastlane

    INTRO 
    Since it has been a while since I last posted, I must confess that I did get the sale, but it turned out to be not a good fit. Though I tried to make it clear what he can expect and what not, he always didn't like what I delivered (he expected more) and constantly changed the things he wanted...

    Don’t lurk, do this instead

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Great advice. Thanks for making this clear. I definitely have to make some room in my calendar again.

    Opinion on best investments? ETF, Stocks, Index, etc

    INVESTING 
    I wanted to add, that the same that goes for your business goes for your investments: Add value! Real estate investing is mostly a good thing (if you don't fall for any of the schemes that probably exist) because it adds value for the tenants. The next thing is business investing, where you...

    Incoming entrepreneur, switching to the fastlane

    INTRO 
    Danke, @fmpgetnrich :) The last week was a little bit disappointing: My potential customer delayed our next meeting to the end of this week or maybe even later. It will be the final one (with him as a prospect that is), because he will either sign or I'll consider him to hard to work for...

    Incoming entrepreneur, switching to the fastlane

    INTRO 
    Since my last post I got an appointment with my prospect. It didn't work well, because I hadn't prepared enough visuals to accompany my offer. But I will get another shot, probably this week, to show him what I have prepared for him. But I have a question for those of you reading this and...

    Not yet. I still have one prospect who's giving me a hard time proposing my ideas. Wants more details and a vision to buy into. I am completing some sort of vision board for him now but that is probably the last thing but one I'll do to win this prospect, otherwise I think working with him would...

    The Proven Path to a Fastlane (Still Open for 2024)

    MARKETPLACE 
    That is legal information depending on the country you live in. But I think in most countries you need to get permission to act as a business by legal authorities. If you must do that before or may postpone it after you already have done business may vary. Maybe it is even better to have a...

    Has anyone done SEO for a national company? If so, what were some things you found that worked and didn't work?

    "Always say yes" is the opposite of focus (say no to all things except what you focus on) as most would say ;-) But I see the point: If you don't know something, let the customer pay you for learning it for him. I would see the difference in SEO more on the side of what the company is about...

    How to achieve a certain goal? Spend every minute or run a marathon and take enough breaks?

    EXECUTION 
    I definitely go for a marathon. Meaning you have to take breaks, and find a dayly routine that could support working the rest of your life. Meaning you need time off. Have little breaks everywhere. Those can be slack time, but it is better to just do something else. Workout / training, learning...

    NEW TO FASTLANE FORUM

    INTRO 
    Welcome! Knowledge is found plentiful in this forum, and I wish you luck to find those things you want, or better yet, those you need. The luck-part by the way is for finding it, since most things were probably already said somewhere. ;)

    Primary Customer Acquisition Strategy

    MARKETING 
    I would suggest also reading "Making Websites Win". Those guys know a lot about conversion optimization. And thanks for your recommendations what to read / learn, will save those in my list. What is the core point of your site? Those reviews? The content around the reviews? This point I would...

    Doing Shit, Getting Shit Done after drugs - How the book is doing after 9 months and marketing advice...

    MARKETING FTE 
    First congrats to your success! It must have been a tough journey so far, I always wonder if these prerequisites count towards the Commandment of Entry or if "publishing a book" is the only thing determining the level of Entry... I think the first thing has its place, since I believe your...
