    Dude, pick up the phone. Period. In regards to becoming a "publisher" of sorts... when you start a blog, you're at the bottom of the food chain. Here's the hierarchy: Blogger - you write, you market. Editor - hire your writing, you edit it, you market. Editor In Chief - your writers pass...

    Let's open the flood gates. Let's think big. I feel many people think of blogging as, "Let me throw some words on a page once a day/week and throw it on my social and make some money!" These are the people who won't make it very far. This type of thinking is equivalent to, "Let me buy a...

    You're so close! See, their personal blogs are still sales funnels! The value they provide is up front proof of knowledge, expertise, and execution! The 'leads' they now generate are for $20,000 speaking gigs, consulting on retainer, and other ultra time leveraged income producing events.

    You obviously need to match your intent to your end goal (cash flow versus liquidation). If it were me, I'd build a personal brand for cash flow, period. Besides... why not build a personal brand which, in turn, powers other brands? Pretty easy "About Me" page if you can list all the...

    Not to oversimplify but... personal branding is still branding. Great question, though.

    As far as Entry goes, I love blogs for this. It's a perceived easy Entry, but the barrier isn't broken by simply starting! False perception. The true barrier to entry with building a legitimate blog is not growing the blogs content, but the audience. You don't need 700 posts on your blog to...

    Lead generation provides significantly more control than, say, Adsense. If you have Adsense throwing random adverts all over your users, you never know what they're going to click on, how much revenue you'll generate, etc. You can also test your own design/layout of each CTA, where as with...

    You don't need a 1M page views a month to 'make it' blogging. I assure you, 10k/month can easily bring a quarter million annual income (not rev). Choose your markets properly.

    In the words of Gary V, blogging is chess, not checkers. In my experience, you need three things: Expertise backed by a real brand -- if you don't plan to build a bigger, fully funded brand [eventually], you're a loser before the gun goes off. Be the expert, or become it. Consistency -- if you...

    Why Speed may be your worst enemy to the Fastlane

    Running long distance is simply humbling. It's quite possibly the epitome of process versus event. And, the further you go, the more this is compounded. I'll be pacing a friend for part of a 100-mile race late in the year. You want to see process? Check out an ultra runner's processes. It's...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Here for the badge, I am. I read this probably three and a half years ago. Pretty instrumental in the initial slingshot of my mindset to become free. I've since read it a couple more times. Never gets old. Sincere thanks, sir @MJ DeMarco

    Question to my Programming Entrepreneurs

    To be honest... The foundational stuff is the easiest learned online. The 'hard' stuff is when you'll likely need to really start communicating with other developers and getting involved in programming communities. The best way to learn the foundation is literally to jump in and create. Fail...

    Question to my Programming Entrepreneurs

    I don't mean to hijack... But, at some point, all programmers are essentially autodidactic. If you feel this is something which comes at great difficulty, you may have a much harder time than you think down the road. I don't want to discourage you, but rather motivate you to accept the fact...

    Whats the best way to exit a slow lane business?

    Begin creating SOP's immediately. If you have to hire someone to follow you around, record your every move, and pencil it, do it. Gradually start raising prices. This is very, very effective at a couple things: Immediately creates an exit opportunity where you can leverage the business and its...

    A Lesson From Sam Walton's Walmart on MJ's Commandment of Control

    This is a telling tale for a lot of folks. There's a huge value in finding trends from day-to-day numbers, week-to-week numbers, quarter-to-quarter numbers, and rolling annual numbers. I think a lot of times we're so stuck working on the inside of our business, we don't focus on much outside of...
