    To turn from accountant to entrepreneur

    INTRO 
    If you're in private and depending on the industry, you got some wiggle room on what you can do for Fastlane pursuits, especially now that tax season is over. Are you planning to take your CPA? You can open your own firm, but you won't see the results for a while (and it's a huge time sink if...

    Should I learn accounting before building a business & how should I familiarize myself in my new community.

    CHAT EXECUTION QUESTION 
    A little late on the thread, it's helpful if you care about what's going on with your Profit Loss and Balance Sheet, but not required. As long as you know how to categorize your transactions and everything is current so you don't have to panic at tax season. I currently do bookkeeping as my day...

    Building a Sales Team with Zero Experience

    MARKETING 
    Following this thread! I'm in a similar boat as you are because while I'm great at doing backend work, I feel that I'm a liability on the front end of things in terms of running a business. Have you already achieved some sales on your own and developed your own scripts/process for potential...

    How Do You Deal With Burnout?

    MINDSET 
    I'm sure this has been shouted high to the heavens, but how do you guys work through it? I go through major bursts of productivity and then I crash as hard as I worked. I've been working through it with my therapist, but I'm curious if you guys have ways to prevent it from happening. I think...

    The New US Tax Plan and Your New 50% Biz Partner (the US Gov)

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Reminds me of the Roman Empire and their taxes: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.heritagedaily.com/2020/05/high-taxes-were-always-a-problem-so-what-new/69138 There's more articles that go more in depth with this, but this gives a nice cliffnotes version. We just need the army to pay more than...

    EXECUTION 
    Hey there! The foot is well! I'm still going through some phantom pain, especially on the top of the foot, but I'm doing physical therapy and it's getting better each week! The injury site there's no pain thankfully. I can walk around, but I still have trouble loading weight or moving heavy...

    Google Ads: Google dipping their hand in our wallets

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I'm noticing the same trend too, especially with my client's campaigns. There's no rhyme or reason why I'm getting these keywords and I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole with negative keywords :rofl: I also can't figure out why these people are clicking my ads either because the copy is...

    Creating my Own Digital Marketing Company

    MARKETING 
    A little late, but I just wanted to make sure that everything went smoothly, but I secured my first client! I had to scramble on how to get a proposal and contract together, but it worked out in the end! I'm still nervous because my skillset is still shaky, but at least I'm getting paid to...

    What Opportunities Will Arise From Cancel Culture And Political Polarization?

    HOT! 
    If you go in The Hidden Wiki on TOR, there are onion sites dedicated to downloading and purchasing banned books. It was more useful for non-Americans who wanted to read some of our books that were banned in their countries, but I have a feeling that those libraries will be expanded to...

    Creating my Own Digital Marketing Company

    MARKETING 
    I'm afraid to mention this because I don't want to jinx it, but I think I got my first client! Not long after my last post, I messaged one of my photography friends on Facebook. She had issues with her websites, I gave her audits, advice on how to run ads and how to swap her web hosts, and...

    SEO for beginners

    HOT! 
    @SEOguy is right. I finished making my own website and doing my own SEO and it really is trial and error. Yoast SEO is super helpful and if you don't want to deal with coding, finding a theme with a page builder for WordPress is super helpful!

    Creating my Own Digital Marketing Company

    MARKETING 
    Long Overdue Update: I finished building my website! It took longer than expected because I kept breaking things, redoing the copy (which is still somewhat ongoing,) having bad internet, and multitasking on other things, but it's finished! I learned a lot and I can build a page a lot faster...

    What is Clubhouse?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone, but based on what I'm hearing about this, my first thought about the premise of the app is: Phone sex. Unless there's something in their ToS that I'm missing, I can see the app quickly turning into an audio-based OnlyFans. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Stuck in a scripted world!!

    MINDSET 
    I was in a similar boat as you for years and it wasn't until I got into therapy that I started getting my crap together in the past 2 years. If you can't afford therapy, there are non profits that give you heavily discounted sessions (OpenPath is awesome!) I still moments of crippling panic and...

    Figuring Out Twitter

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Twitter is weird, but once you get a couple of people either replying to your tweets or vice-versa, it's like a cocktail party. It has its vices, but I've made lifelong friends there as well as found gigs on there too!

    Creating my Own Digital Marketing Company

    MARKETING 
    Small Update: I got my DBA filed and fixed my email issues with my host! I also made my bank accounts, social media accounts, working on my branding, and reading my books ("Fanatical Prospecting" and "Ca$hvertising,) and am currently raising capital (IE: selling stuff on eBay. If all of the...

    Is marriage an archaic and 'scripted' ideology?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm indifferent to marriage, but if my spouse and I were to get assets together, I would get married just so there wouldn't be WWIII in dividing things. This book is pretty good: If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late: A Divorce Lawyer's Guide to Staying Together by James J. Sexton You...
