    My concern about REAL crypto

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    It looks to me like that's beginning to happen, the most popular Reddit discussion theme of 2021 was cryptocurrency. It's pretty easy to open a coinbase account and buy crypto even if you aren't tech savvy. Once the large brokerage houses offer a crypto investment product it'll really be...

    What BOX have you locked yourself up in?

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    I was in this headspace for a long time, it was hard for me to wrap my head around how entrepreneurs could go from one industry to another and be successful in each. For example how does Elon Musk go from developing a website, to payments, to rockets, to electric cars, AND succeed in each one...

    Swimming Against My Current

    INTRO 
    Look at the math in any of MJs books about retiring, watch the retirement episode of "Money Explained" on netflix, or go to a retirement seminar if your job has one. Seeing that the best case scenario is downsizing to a house you can own outright, making sure all your debt is paid off...

    YOU HAVE NO CHOICE

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Wow great post! I completely agree. One of the things that triggered my FTE and caused me to quit my job was seeing what my life trajectory was by looking at those 10-20-30 years ahead of me at my place of work. The terrifying reality is that if I’d stayed I would be exactly like them...

    What is your support system while you are on the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    I am just curious about who all of you Unscripted folks turn to for support when the going gets tough. I know MJ mentioned in his books that his mother lost faith in him, so did his girlfriend, and others around him that made snide comments about him working dead-end jobs with 2 college degrees...

    Do you think social proof makes a difference for facebook ads?

    MARKETING 
    IMO social proof matters. When I buy something on Amazon I’m willing to pay a little more if one product has a lot of realistic looking reviews versus just no reviews or a lot that look like they’re fake (ex. Full 5 stars with 2,000 reviews). Not saying it’s impossible for a product to be that...

    Glad to see the progress you've been making! Through the thick and thin you've been improving. At some point this will be as natural to you as taking a drive somewhere.

    How do you decide to leave work to focus 100% on your business, and should I?

    MINDSET 
    A lot of sensible people would say when you’re earning 3x the income of your normal job. But I don’t think you’ll ever feel “good” about leaving. I say just do it when you’re ready to burn the boats and be an entrepreneur, that way you can focus all your efforts on growing the business. Part...

    Taking over business from retiring baby boomers

    HOT! 
    @becks22 Did you stipulate that the owner work with you for a year prior to purchase? I think buying a business is a great strategy, just curious how common it is to have the original owner working with you for a certain amount of time before you take it on 100%.

    How many action fakes can the fastlane come up with??

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    "Okay ready to start!" "Oh but what if I get sued?" "What if I get a bad review?" "What if I can't keep up with demand?" "What if someone copies my product?" "What if...?" "What if...?" I'd better go write contingency plans for every possible outcome, then I'll be ready to start!

    Let's talk about franchising

    HOT! 
    I'd agree, I think any brick and mortar business system can be franchised if someone is willing to buy into it. However, I would argue you don't necessarily even need to be able to replicate it for low six figures. These franchises are $15K or less to start

    One of my youtube videos is currently going viral, the "scale" effect is powerful indeed.

    Can I criticize (or hate) a book I haven't read entirely?

    BOOKS 
    IMHO, If you aren't reading something like a textbook, then at 3 chapters in you know if the book is something you want to keep reading or not. To me it is like watching a movie, if I get 30 minutes into a movie and I'm still not interested, I'm not going to spend another hour hoping that it...
