    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    Thanks for pointing that one out, I had never heard of it, will definitely be looking into it. My challenge is and has always been the organisation of thoughts, ideas and tasks. It is difficult to keep them apart at times. I am also currently using Amplenote for all notes and tasks related...

    Help with Validating a Business Idea (the business runs, the Idea I doubt)

    IDEA 
    ...I've taken another approach and instead of paid marketing went with business organizations by joining a few. Also went to numerous networking events throughout the country (continuing to do so ofc) focusing mainly on business through recommendations and mouth-to-mouth. Next steps would...

    You don’t need more friends right now

    MINDSET 
    ...But I guess in some way it is a good mental state I don’t make hard decision to stay away from too much distraction. I still believe in “networking” though. I am a firm believer of networking. Every good idea that I executed on, I realized most of them are not original. I read from...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah I went through that phase shortly, but ended up doing moving away from it because it annoyed me too much. I will never go back to any top down system ever again. I'm doing my hacky version of a private digital garden. I just write daily and whenever something pops up. Once a week, when I'm...

    You don’t need more friends right now

    MINDSET 
    I love this. It's like mentally getting your mind to a point whereby the one thing is all that matters because there's a million other things that are going to come along and distract you. A question I've been asking lately is "If I needed to get 200 more customers to save my son's life would...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    Ah. That is interesting. I have a similar approach for things I want to understand, distilling idea to their core aiming for one idea per note. I started with zettlekasten but find mindself capturing ideas just to capture them. Canvas is what I live in. As for journaling, it depends: - I carry...

    QUESTION 
    Making sure I understand you correctly - do you talk about the possibility that something goes wrong? (e.g. the business does not succeed) My area is like a small Silicon Valley. Lots of startup founders and lots of VCs. It's producing many millionaires every year. Also, my personal assets -...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    Same here. Love Obsidian. But not "journaling" the way most people think. I use it as part of "Slip Box" a method of note taking. The Slip Box method, also known as the Zettelkasten, is a powerful note-taking and knowledge management system that was developed by German sociologist and...

    MINDSET 
    Your business is probably not struggling because you don’t ‘network’ enough. Or because you haven’t gotten into a mastermind that’ll solve all your problems. Or because you don’t have the right connections. Your business is a math problem. Most likely, you just don’t have enough customers...

    Is cold-calling necessary for getting good with Web design sales?

    MARKETING 
    I'll give you another cool tip: Create Loom videos and send them within your cold emails. Text is great to read, but if you create a video. That's gives you a bit of an advantage in terms of personalization. Don't make the video cookie cutter to send in mass, personalize it to them. There was...

    Is cold-calling necessary for getting good with Web design sales?

    MARKETING 
    Your advice saved my life. Kinda. This great book: "Fanatical Prospecting" basically told me what I already knew. That I'm afraid to get rejected. But it also reminded me of what Jim Rohn said about the law of averages (basically that it's just a game of numbers until you get better). And oh my...

    THE SEARCH FOR THE MILLIONAIRE FASTLANE

    QUESTION 
    Plenty of info on that in the Saas and E-commerce space. Offline businesses you need dive into your local network deeply, because they have no incentives to appear online.

    IDEA 
    ...followers, and then realized none of it lines up with my gifts or concerns. It doesn't match who I am or make much sense given my current networking abilities, at all. It was just a pretty plan. I love those! I wish I could delete the whole thing but sometimes.. especially if you're an...

    A cautionary tale of Amazon being Amazon...

    SCALING 
    Yes, THEIR DATA. And then using deception to access MY DATA. Theft is not "upping their game." A metaphor is inviting a network technician into my house to fix my internet, but then he installs a packet monitor on my network to grab my banking passwords to rob me blind.
