    You copywriters are being replaced by AI..

    HOT! MARKETING 
    My one friend/mentor (who has been doing all sorts of computer science/programming for the past 20+ years) strongly believes that AI is not what people think it is. Going as far as to call it a myth. He said this hype reminds him of what he observed during the whole Y2K scare. Apparently a lot...

    Should I get a job?

    PEOPLE 
    A job isn't a life sentence. If I were you, I'd find something to do as a means to an end. If the first job is unbearable, look for a different one and switch when you can. You'll still have time to do all your entrepreneurial things and possibly do them more effectively due to Parkinson's law...

    At what age did you start to get your shit together?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'd like to think I'm on a better path now. Still grinding, learning and embracing certainty more each day. I'll say 24 because I lived quite uncertain up until now. The first time I got fed up with life I was 18-19 and working at a dealership. I walked away from it, though I didn't become as...

    I'll nominate Superconnector by Scott Gerber & Ryan Paugh People that are already great at community and relationship building might scoff at it. But, I feel like there are some good lessons in it.

    Interior home painting business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I work for my family's painting business. While the money is okay, it is quite labor intensive. Definitely not fastlane unless you can find really good employees that take pride in doing a good job. (People in it just to make money often deliver poor results. They start cutting corners, being...

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I don't have any freelance operation/business pertaining to website development/design. I'm just a guy that knows a little bit about building/designing them; and I also understand that going with the cheapest outsourcing option is not ideal if they don't have a reputation for delivering results...

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Good third option. Perhaps I'll try inquire more about the other firms strategies. I don't have the social proof/portfolio they do, but I'm sure there is a way to get that first client by a similar means.

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Very true. I would like to get in with them and help. I can either: a) Wait for my friend to refer me (assuming the other employee is incapable of correcting the problem.) b)Try contact the owner directly and see if I could help them with the website. My concern with option a is that it feels...

    I first found out about him a few months ago. He's very entertaining, authentic and has some pretty good advice.

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Yeah, that's one of the reasons I didn't approach the owner directly yet. My friend was a little unsure whether or not there will be any legal action. Plus I feel like since my friend works there, his recommendation would be better than me trying to cold approach (especially right now.)

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I was talking with an old friend the other day and he brought up that the business he works for got some local agency to build them a website. I was somewhat intrigued as I have some front end development knowledge and built a few sites before. So I dug deeper and found out some details about...

    Switching up slowlane jobs? Real estate a good idea?

    IDEA SLOWLANE 
    This is sound advice and something that I too think about. Especially if the housing market crashes here soon. I may start with a different job so I can comfortably afford to move here. The courses for becoming licensed will probably cost me $6k or more, so that may be something I look into...

    Switching up slowlane jobs? Real estate a good idea?

    IDEA SLOWLANE 
    After discussing it over with the career expert, it seems that it's currently tough for many real estate agents. She was very informative and gave me better insight than I expected. She mentioned other positions within the real estate space that may be a little more easier to get started in...

    Switching up slowlane jobs? Real estate a good idea?

    IDEA SLOWLANE 
    Honestly, I'm interested in almost anything pertaining to the industry. I thought about becoming a licensed agent, but if there is an easier entry point I'd take it. I'm applying for pretty much every opportunity I see. Free through my province.

    Are Audits Enough? Trying To Offer More Value Upfront

    My initial approach was something along the lines of @EarlOfChina's B2B LinkedIn thread. I felt like I had to give more value and that's why I led with an introduction video and audit. Perhaps, starting out with just one thing that can be screenshot makes more sense to get the ball rolling, as...

    Are Audits Enough? Trying To Offer More Value Upfront

    In an effort to offer upfront value to potential clients, I've been giving free audits for their digital presence (Website + Social Media) and giving them tips to improve it. However, I'm beginning to feel either that: -Perhaps it isn't valuable enough to make them want to talk with me. -It...
