    So far I’ve done a lot of what doesn’t work

    INTRO 
    What a great story. Love your determination to rise above what life has thrown at you. It sounds like you should be really proud of everything you've accomplished so far. Doesn't mean you have to be done either. Just keep being the man you want your kids to look up to. I've always found that to...

    Is who you know overrated?

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    ...around the right people can accelerate your skills and get you access to bigger and better opportunities. I find most people focused on 'networking' would often be better served honing their craft and working on projects in public. Best of both worlds. I think I read somewhere that you want...

    Is who you know overrated?

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    ...Yes, you must be self-reliant and resourceful. These are two of the tools in your resource box -- not a replacement for each other. Networking is about who you know when you need that perfect person in a specific situation -- or a resource to find that person. It's an exercise in "people...

    Is who you know overrated?

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    No one gets anywhere alone. Being valuable and reliable is a good goal, and being "self reliable" and valuing yourself is a good part of that bigger goal. You are looking at this as an either or choice. The answer is both. Who you know matters. And who you are matters. And I completely...

    Is who you know overrated?

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    Build relationships and a network as you go by being authentic and helpful. Be careful who you hang out with. Find other fastlaners. I often hear people use the lack of a network and knowing the "right people" as an excuse for not moving forward. It's absolutely possible to succeed from...

    Is who you know overrated?

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    It adds value until you get too carried away with it. Some think of network as movie plots scenes where a phone call can get your business loan approved or land you a big contract. That rarely happens. It’s really the small things you do everyday that earns the trust of others. Your customers...

    Is who you know overrated?

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    ...the right people can give advantages, the entire point of the Fastlane is that you're in the driver's seat: with or without marginal networking advantages, you control the route. Additionally, you're more likely to meet the "right" people while plotting your own course. People who say that...

    It isn't cheating if it is the future. Schools scoring for memory - while real world is rewarding for action. The problem isn't AI but the exam. Time to stop grading for who can remember the most raw info and giving actual challenges and see who can problem solve. Of course that won't...

    Olive oil production in Spain. In need of advice before settling for the business.

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    SMMA is what every teenager wants to do; upselling is not even a business model. Your concept is good. I can totally imagine a brand like yours doing well in the US: "From the valleys of [insert Spanish village] to your doorstep, all organic olive oil, made using methods passed down from...

    Olive oil production in Spain. In need of advice before settling for the business.

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    I looked into it and it's defintely illegal. That said, it's likely not a big deal and nothing will likely happen. However it is risky, and much better to register as autónomo, which should be quite easy, and make it fully legal.

    I am glad that I am ahead of the curve. I helped someone writing essay using AI in early 2023 before the massive awareness. It wasn’t a clean and neat experience. It was citing links that no longer exist in the citation. It was more like an aggregation tool. The education system just needs to...
