    Value skew: What discernible difference ultimately turned you into a buyer or x-buyer?

    GOLD! HOT! MARKETING 
    In the town I used to live, there’s a Mexican food place who had killer fries. The oil they used was PERFECT, so they were stellar. Crinkle fries. They were the skew for me. The actual Mexican food was good too. But I’m a sucker for good fries. Well, one day I go in there, order my fries...

    Wait! We don't have a TFF Mobile App?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I used to work at Apple. Did a rotation in developer support. It would cost a minimum of $99/year to have an app in the App Store. If MJ did put an App in the store, I’d fully expect it to be a paid experience. That’s mainly because besides the financial cost, the time overhead to MAINTAIN...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I suck for consistency. The wife’s paycheck was smaller than we expected. So we’re out Instacarting to make up the difference. To keep paid up for where we’re living right now. By the time we get back to the room, I’m beat. I know, “work tired if you have to.” But that when I’m doing on...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    No progress made on the 2 main projects. As for the writing project, I fired up Scrivener for the first real time in 9-10 years, updated it. I created a new project file and am doing character dev in the project file for the story idea. Picking time and setting happened a couple days ago.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Not sure if this category is the best fit. But I’ll run with it for now. Reading a bit from Unscripted each day. And several places in there that MJ references how the majority of new members fizzle out in short order. Mental masturbation… Action-faking… Etc… I don’t wanna be one of those...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Am about halfway through Unscripted. As I read more and more about the Scripted unconscious, it makes me think of the question in Dark City. “Do you know the way to Shell Beach?” Everyone “knew” the answer but nobody COULD answer…

    Find a problem that needs solving, that can be solved profitably. From THAT point, then figure out what skills will help solve the problem.

    I’ve been signed up on his list since August 2022. Got 23 emails total. So roughly 2 per month average. But it also goes months at times without any.

    How to identify the need in the market?

    INTRO 
    The search suggestions in Google are insightful. Type in one of the following and see what others are looking for: “Why can’t I” “How do I” “How to” And so on Twitter is another good place to do that also.

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    Well, aside from reading Unscripted nearly every day (10 pages minimum), I’ve basically done 2 other things. Jack and Shit. Mom dying must be more FTM than FTE. I’m not giving up on stuff, just more think that I haven’t hit full FTE yet. I still slog through the job that’s growing on me less...

    HOT! INTRO 
    I did Uber Eats for a while. It isn’t as glamorous as they make it sound. I have to assume the regular Uber Driving is the same. It’s 100% a trade off time = money though. So it’s ok to view it as a day job/main hustle while you build your CENTS business up. There were some days Uber sent...

    how to deal with biased people?

    QUESTION 
    I’m pretty hands-off with people. I figure if I need to expend tons of energy to convince them of stuff, they may not be the right ones to have in my life. Personal wise anyway. If I were in a sales job or pushing hard to get customers, I know that attitude might have to be different somewhat...

    Software plugin idea

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    Is this a Chrome App/Extension? If so, I think even with implementing licenses, it's still possible someone knowledgeable can decompile/reverse engineer the source code and recompile their own version without any licensing/callback functions. I have a friend who published an Android app a few...

    The 80/20 Principle Library

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    My first exposure to the idea of 80/20 was the book "How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling" by Frank Bettger. I didn't know of Pareto or 80/20 then. Basically in the very first chapter (or maybe chapter 2), Mr. Bettger talks about keeping meticulous records of each sales call...

    Management issues

    PEOPLE 
    As for the part about hiring an outside CEO, I recommend chapter 17 from Perry Marshall's book "80/20 Sales and Marketing." That chapter outlines his hiring process, or for finding contractors/consultants. He doesn't interview people, he "auditions" them. He'll assign them tasks to do which...
