    No network? No money? No idea? No education? NO PROBLEM!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Thanks for the post ICK. I'm starting to reach out to my top 100 today. Can't wait to see where this takes me. I'd love to be able to quit my job and focus on larger scale projects. My market is pretty large so hopefully if I work hard I can use this to quit. If not and I take it to it's limit...

    The Ice Cream Chronicles: Marketing Edition

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    People come on here constantly posting about ideas even after reading MJ's book. People can't seem to let go of the fact that it's about getting sales. I could easily outsource my website focus only on marketing and make the ice cream rain down way sooner. The only reason I don't is because I...

    The Ice Cream Chronicles: Marketing Edition

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Now harness that power in selling your product and bring in truck loads of ice cream. I had no idea how powerful marketing was. I love all the real world examples and videos. I'm noticing common themes and really starting to see why I buy so much shit haha. I really like the honesty. You can...

    I'm stuck searching for the "fail-proof" idea. Help needed.

    IDEA 
    When I started I felt overwhelmed as well. If you start a slowlane type business then are you going to have the time to create another fastlane business? Why not start with a fastlane business? Even if you end up having to go back to a corporate job for a while at least you already have the...

    I'm stuck searching for the "fail-proof" idea. Help needed.

    IDEA 
    Now I haven't exactly made it into the fastlane yet but I did struggle with finding an idea for quite a while. My problem was not thinking big enough. I would see pain points but think, "that's too hard, someone else is doing it". I don't believe any idea is perfect. The key is not thinking "I...

    The Ice Cream Chronicles: Marketing Edition

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Okay I get it now. And yeah with those sales figures they know what they are doing. $3 Billion with a B! That's a lot of ice cream. Bookmarked that site for further research. Once I clicked on one of their products I expected to see a bullet list of features there, not so. They'll let you...

    The Ice Cream Chronicles: Marketing Edition

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    This is a great point but can (should) you apply this to any business? Do customers searching for software care about the story behind it. No one else that my software will compete with has a story on their website. Possibly something I can use to my advantage. Thanks @IceCreamKid EDIT Your...

    Diary of Opening A New Business

    NOTABLE! 
    Jack just wanted to say thanks for the awesome thread. I've seen so many people in here ask questions and they seem to expect you to tell them everything when the reality is really simple. Just sell something. Everyone gets caught up in the details or is too afraid to start. What happens when...

    Walking the sidewalk because I have no discipline

    Thanks for the post @slickcardigan. Old thread but the advice is still really helpful. I've found the biggest distraction to me is facebook/youtube. Yesterday I worked on my website at my in-laws place and they don't have internet. I got more done in 20 minutes than I do in 1-2 hours or more at...

    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I'm very glad that my wife is into the fastlane thing and want's to see me succeed. More than just finding a partner who is into you being entrepreneurial you should find someone who will love and support you even if they don't quite understand what you are doing. My wife is very supportive and...

    I'm down for sales/marketing as this is really what I need to start working on. Maybe you should start a new thread possibly on the inside and leave the mindset stuff here?

    Own A Website? I'm Giving Away My Software For FREE

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It can totally be used for new websites. In fact I'd really like to have 1-2 people who are starting from scratch using it. However, it can't be used with wordpress. If you'd like send me a PM with a little bit of info about the site you want to start and if my software matches what you are...

    Own A Website? I'm Giving Away My Software For FREE

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm in the process of creating web software and I am in need of at least 1-5 alpha testers. The product is not yet ready to be tested however I would like to start getting my ducks in a row and get individuals who own or want to create a website lined up to try the software. I have a progress...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Since we are all about taking action in this thread maybe it would be an appropriate place to get some guinea pigs for my software. I have a progress thread on the inside where I actually talk about what the software is but out in the wild I'll be a bit vague. I'm looking for 1-5 people to give...

    Or if you're a retard like me it's grab the absinthe.... :hungover: Let's be honest I didn't do a thing yesterday. I talked to my dad about his business but I really didn't do anything. I hate days where that happens. Gonna hit it hard today though (and every day for the rest of forever until I...

    I'm starting to think this is very important. My dad and I agreed to be accountability partners a little while ago. I just got him to buy TMFL he hasn't started reading it yet though. When you have someone who asks, "what did you accomplish this week" it drives you to always take action every day.

    Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome thread. It's helping to motivate me with my business. I like the emphasis on love. I'm glad the product I am currently working on is a pain point. It's interesting to realize that yes I am going to be charging for this but in the end I am helping my...
