    The UNSCRIPTED Entrepreneurial Framework, TUNEF (Infographic)

    BOOKS 
    Awesome. And just the right size and level of detail, too. Print, laminate, slide under the keyboard; better than that stupid map of the world I had as a desk-protector!

    Java V Python: Which is better (for entrepreneurship)

    QUESTION 
    ...are (relatively speaking) cheap; creatives that can see an entrepreneurial use for a computer are not; your time is better spent working out *what* to do rather than *how* to do it (as in, with which tools). Second, if you have closed (1) and are looking to get your hands dirty - and that's...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    The second time around it made more sense. Possibly older and wiser. Also, reading Unscripted at the moment, and have Rat Race lined up. It's all part of my 5 year plan...

    Building a Beauty Empire. From 0 to 180k profit in 8 month and beyond

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Reminds me a bit of the kind of articles I would spin out during my 500-per-day article research and rewrite sessions. *shudders* Not going back there, still get nightmares about "green-lipped mussels" and "hand-held GPS navigation systems".

    Should I go with Plan A or Plan B?

    IDEA FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    Or see if you can find someone to make soaps that meet your criteria, then add your little bit of magic to the ingredient list and have them send them directly to the consumer. I'm thinking like a coffee of the month club, but that might be too exotic. Maybe just a subscription service for soap...

    How "The Millionaire Fastlane" by MJ De Marco changed my life

    INTRO 
    Hey Justina! Congrats on taking that all-important first step - got skills: pass them on! If you don't mind my asking: are you at the tipping point where you have too many customers to serve by yourself and need to do something to take yourself out of the equation? If so, how do you plan to do...

    Should I go to college?

    INTRO 
    My son's gf is studying anatomy to become a physiotherapist. Her attitude to that echoes something *I literally just read* in Fastlane: physios to world-class sportspeople make millions because their customers leverage a HUGE audience and entertain millions. Now it may take a while to gather...

    Who I am

    INTRO 
    So, I'm from the UK originally, now living just south of Brussels. Nice to meet someone who also appreciates the slightly odd city of Ghent: I've always found the juxtapositions of its various quarters to be interesting. Culturally it's ... erm ... a patchwork, let's say. My principal source of...

    Who I am

    INTRO 
    Hello! I'd feel a bit odd saying welcome, as I'm almost as new around here as you are, but so far it's been a rapid learning experience. On those books, Ramit Sethi often divides the crowd. I've been following along with his Netflix show, and note that there are a variety of people there, some...

    Question for all you Web Developers out there...

    WEB DESIGN 
    There are no daft questions. Daft questioners, on occasion, and daft answers.... where was I? Yes. DNS. So, if I've understood correctly - your site is hosted at LearnWorlds and your domain was bought through the lovely folks at GoDaddy as two separate transactions. Now, you want to rebuild on...

    Should I go to college?

    INTRO 
    Ah yes. Missed that one. Great point. See my original post. I was lucky, with low debt. These days, it's eye-watering in some markets how much you have to pay for that scroll (and it's not even a real scroll!) of paper that gives you somewhat tenuous access (in many cases) to a trade...

    Should I go to college?

    INTRO 
    Just giving my own side to this - what's your Plan B if you land a job? I spent 25+ years having no plan B and probably that kept me honest in the sense that I worked like a (expletive deleted) slave for part of that time, kissed a$$ for the remainder, and had zero safety net: I mean, we were...

    ...that I could talk to the MBA-educated stakeholders in their own language. On the other hand, unless you have a clear idea of what you're going to *do* with that education, rather than chalking up 40-200K in debt, depending on what degree(s) you choose to do, I'd wait awhile. People who...

    Go Fastlane with ChatGPT: Full Guide + Free Prompts (Zero Excuses to Succeed)

    - AI - 
    ...to ask was related to the low Trustpilot scores: do you, or anyone else, know of a good way to filter out the 'good' scores to find the bad ones (like the 1* ones). Thinking I could offer rescue plans to some businesses where I have a specific passion or direct knowledge... All the best, Guy

    ChatGPT - Am I missing something here

    IDEA 
    ...erm, BS, to put it mildly. This happens, I suppose when the predictive branching finds itself locked in a loop where the only way out is to take a *really* long shot and hope it pans out. Then try and backtrack to make it look legit. Cunning AI. Three: Rabbit holes. You can spend *hours*...

    INTRO 
    Thanks for reminding me that visualisation is powerful and starts with that "holistic vision of what I wanted my life to be like" as you put it. I'd done it a while back as part of some reorientation training my employer paid for (those who are following along will know that as one of two...

    ...and may have temporarily derailed me (I once even had to get beta-blockers to combat anxiety that was making my heart race) but it didn't make me *un*happy. If there's more out there, I may never know, I suppose. Or, maybe everyone (at least here) feels like this, and it's completely normal...

    ...way (no disrespect intended) but I'd forgotten that these two things were how I got as far as I did in the relatively short time (really now, minus 10 ish years) allotted. Time to join some real life communities. Make new friends. Go new places. Make some changes. Stoked. Thank you. *tips hat*

    ...out there and taking risks, but they all paid off. Consider: I've only ever had a company car. With everything paid, including fuel. And, I didn't *have* to use it to get to work because we found a house near to a station so my commute is about an hour door to door. Wife uses, has always...

    INTRO 
    Thank you for the encouragement, great advice, and suggestion that I read Unscripted. Trouble is, I'm really enjoying Fastlane the second time around (plus I'm making notes - active reading and all that). What I dig is this 1% improvement idea. Because, yes, 1% improvement that's achievable. Of...
