    Those are AND requirements, not OR. Like, 1 GOLD post won’t free you as well as 100 not so gold ones. But 100 posts which got average 3+ likes - that is a proof of a solid contributor

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    I’ve read about the upcoming change to the forum and that feels sound and well-thought. Just out of curiosity (as it is not applied to me, but I try to develop product thinking): 1. Will there be any trial period? I understand that giving people full trial access undermines the whole idea, but...

    An unusual journey to the fastlane

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    Wow, what a great and inspiring intro! Best of luck! I went to see your landing. I am no web designer, but looks nice, although I’d change some wording. Like you write “a great in-depth meeting…” as part of your work process. The “in-depth” part should be rlaborated, while “great” I’d drop...

    Handmade - handyman`s progress thread

    EXECUTION 
    I`m writing this monthly review a bit earlier than 1st of the month because next week will be quite tough. Our endeavour is gaining momentum in a very unexpected direction. This month I remembered all my rope-access skills and improved on my advertising skills and suddenly we have an influx of...

    Top 6 Negative Emotions Entrepreneurs Struggle With...

    MINDSET 
    I wonder how the strength of those emotions correlates with the amount of VALUE those entrepreneurs provide. Like there are people who have a line of customers at their door due to really good and rare product. There are those in a competitive market who compete with price with dozen other...

    What is best job to learn Fastlane skills?

    INTRO 
    Business is not a job. Basically a job is an arrangement where you sell your time for money. From 9 to 17 every workday your employer can use your time as they see fit according to laws and your contract. Business on the other hand is creation, expanding and maintaining the system which brings...

    What is best job to learn Fastlane skills?

    INTRO 
    They say the best jobs to start a business is no job or sales. At least someone with commission and learning program. Also if I were you, I`d work on delivering your thoughts. Your wall of text did not fit into my screen and lack of paragraphs made it unreadable. I fastlaner is someone who...

    Handmade - handyman`s progress thread

    EXECUTION 
    The month of May was rough but we made a huge leap forward and seems we have found our oddly specific but very lucrative niche. I am really barely standing now as in my area there was a sandstorm and +40 Celsius, but we worked all day outside. So I will be brief. This month we were triing...

    Survivor bias in marketing?

    MARKETING 
    Basically scaling is what I am working on right now. That is why I am learning marketing despite not having any problems with it now. The idea is to build a system which will generate lots of leads which I can eventually sell for a comission to local professionals. Right now looks like a gold...

    Survivor bias in marketing?

    MARKETING 
    Hey all! I am now in the midst of learning advertising and marketing (specifically now I am reading Alex Hormozi`s "$100 million leads"). And there are 2 things I noticed in my journey: 1. Almost any pro-strategy I implement works in my business and my geographical area perfectly 2. Almost no...

    How to fix speed-dating?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Hey everyone! Two days ago I’ve visited my first ever speed-dating event. And it was a very disappointing experience. A bunch of skinny shy nerd guys and overweight 30+ girls with lists of psy-disorders longer than “War and Peace” with some organizers added just to keep gender balance. I truely...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Wow, that is one old post :) My “lambo” is business itself. The things that can be brought to the world. I think of old age and death often and from what I know about old age persons’ perspectives, there are things which are and aren’t seem important at the threshold. And from that I derived 5...

    Handmade - handyman`s progress thread

    EXECUTION 
    This month and especially this week were so full of events that I nearly do not have time to write a progress update. I am squeezing it between some equipment maintenance and long-delayed writing of commercial propositions for the Monday campaign we start. Business takes shape So this was a...

    Wanna Be Rich And Famous

    INTRO 
    Hey, man, nice to meet you. We are all here about entrepreneurship and it is interesting and fulfilling. Have you read the books? Also we play a nice game here. We take a person`s post and count the "I" and "my"there as opposed to "value to others" and synonims. Gives you a nice estimation of...

    Something to binge-listen?

    MINDSET 
    Hey, people! What do you listen? I have big commutes and lots of physical work and got used to have something speaking to me in the headphones, usually some talk-shows on YouTube or podcasts. I want to switch the theme to smth more businessy. What can you suggest? My pearl of recent time is...

    Kinetic Execution OR Market Analysis?

    IDEA 
    I am 4 months into serious staff and my plans have shuttered like 6-7 times already, and some of them in the good way. My venture now is COMPLETELY unrecognizable from what was 4 months ago and what was planned back then. So as they say, plans are useless, planning is nessesary. Do a plan, but...

    Kinetic Execution OR Market Analysis?

    IDEA 
    I suggest you try "The right it" book by Alberto Savoia. It is short, but right on point of your question. If I would want to summarize it shortly, here it is: any data obtained without "skin in the game" (money, time, inconvenience) put into obtaining that data BY UNBIASED CUSTOMER is crap. All...

    My path to greatness. No distractions. No disturbing outside noises. Focus.

    EXECUTION 
    I really like that exercise @MJ DeMarco suggested in one of his responses earlier. Good old-fashion word counting. Number of times "I" is used in the post: 10 Number of times "value" is used in the post: 1.5 (I counted "demand" as 0.5 because it is kind of obvious low-level sort of "value"...

    how to automate a construction company?

    MARKETING 
    I do not know if it will be of any help, but I recently encountered an interesting business model. In my area there is a major player in the field of tree cutting. Major, but far-far away from monopoly - there is plenty of room for individual entrepreneurs here. The company over time aquired...

    Starting a business in a bad economical situation

    MINDSET 
    The whole idea behind Fastlane was to switch from the question "Who would buy XXX that I sell?" to a question "What the people would buy?" Do not put it all upside down. Start with what people want and need right now. If after some time situation would change - you already will accumulate...
