    How many poison M&Ms does your business have?

    EXECUTION NEWSLETTER 
    I'd say it always helps to listen to every criticism, but you should still analyze each one closely. Is there some validity in the criticism or am I just dealing with another "Karen?" In other words, someone who will always just find another reason to talk crap about your product/service, no...

    Update (as well as me thinking through some things): Just dropping in to say that things are moving along pretty fast now. What's interesting is how things have started to pivot. While I didn't make money from helping my old friend, I did benefit from the connections it opened up, as that's...

    HOT! IMPORTANT! 
    I just want to echo everyone else here. This is both exciting and refreshing news, MJ, and I only see mostly positive results coming from it.

    Conscientiousness and fixing your business personality

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I'll also add that knowing which one of these two you are might enlighten you as to what type of "success guru" marketers you need to watch out for. Cautious guys aren't all that impressed by the "Bro" gurus out there. We tend to be impressed by the guy who looks either more like a clever...

    Conscientiousness and fixing your business personality

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I love this. Makes me think about the contrast between me and my younger brother. We're night and day. Me, I'm the cautious guy. I love systems and rules. Even my kids can repeat many of the lessons that I constantly preach to them about employing systems and rules to make your life easier. I...

    EXECUTION 
    Just got another response from an old friend who I haven't seen in nearly 20 years and who was really happy to hear from me. He runs a huge buying cooperative of roofing companies, and they are trying to get a better handle on their data. He wants to set up a call with me as soon as possible. I...

    Quick update: Got a bite. A former colleague immediately responded. She has a nonprofit that she's been running for a little over a decade and has always struggled with this type of stuff and would love some help. She's a former colleague who was always impressed with my work. Not sure what I...

    EXECUTION 
    @Andy Black Got it. Well, looks like I've got my work cut out for me, because I have a lot of personal messages to write now. I've also now realized that I regularly run into a lot of these people (both family and friends). This means that some of these "messages" can also be done in person...

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Is that sorta like asking if physics no longer works because too many people know about it now? ;) On a serious note though, I totally understand the feeling. What's really behind that question is the fear "Am I too late?!?" As someone who has fallen on his face many times, but is still...

    EXECUTION 
    LOL. Well, it's a general assumption that most companies leverage only 80% of their data. The companies that see all of it as a goldmine and leverage it regularly are still in the minority. So, I don't think most people understand its value enough to be that concerned about sharing it. Part of...

    EXECUTION 
    I've now realized that the city I live in is a goldmine of small business owners and I also realize that I have a large network of family and friends on Facebook who I have a really good standing with. There are many who I've helped in numerous ways in the past years. I'm confident that many of...

    Caffeine can kill your productivity!

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Okay, my mistake in making assumptions. But it is important to note that, regardless of whatever form of ADHD you have, what is common among everyone who has ADHD is generally believed to be dopamine in-deficiency (ADHD is now unofficially considered a catch-all for all forms of the condition...

    Caffeine can kill your productivity!

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Yes, but the "insensitivity" comes from the fact that people with ADHD tend to build tolerance to caffeine faster than everyone else, due to their addictive tendencies. See, caffeine gives you the dopamine hits you need to get moving, but the problem is that, with ADHD, you never produce enough...
