    Music Software Video Course

    EXECUTION 
    Took a while before I found some time, but I finally managed to record the script. Got two young kids, and they deserve their share of my time as well. In any case, I am not giving up on this. The mic I ordered sounds great. Off to do some editing now.

    Started listening to The China Study, which has come recommended by a couple of people now. From what I’ve understood so far, it goes into the effects of your diet on your health. Fits in nicely with my Q1 main focus of improving my health.

    Music Software Video Course

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Been a busy week on the family front, haven't been able to find a block of time to record my first lesson yet. I have ordered a hopefully decent lavelier mic to try out. I also released some of my older music to fans to for free to share some value and keep contacts warm and build...

    Music Software Video Course

    EXECUTION 
    Once again, a heartfelt thanks for the time you're taking to reply and give feedback, @George Appiah. I really like the idea of setting up a landing page to gather information and pre-sales. This is exactly the kind of questions I've been mulling over, but you manage to lay it out in a clear...

    I'm in the NL and have set up a BV in the past. Ask away, or send me a private message :) (and congrats to @Sirrom!)

    Music Software Video Course

    EXECUTION 
    Update: written the script for lesson 1. Performed it out aloud and it times at ~2:38, which seems like a nice bite-size chunk. I'm gonna produce this first lesson to see what I run into with the process (gotta learn some After Effects basics). No matter how I'm going to soft-proof this, I...

    Web Development, need answers from people who DO

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yes, PayPal is a nuisance in comparison to Stripe, for sure! Gotta admit I'm not a big fan of PHP either, but Laravel took so much out of my hands I ended with using that over learning a whole new language. I'm sure there might be better alternatives. Afraid I can't help you much with...

    What's your takeaways? - Difference between inbound vs outbound (new to marketing and I'm not a native English speaker) - Reminder of the importance of treating human beings as human beings (aka manners) - Make friends/help people first, make sales after What will you do different going...

    Web Development, need answers from people who DO

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not a webdev by trade (I do desktop apps), but in the past I've used Stripe to handle payments. Easy, safe, can integrate with pretty much any language or platform you end up using, so I'd look into that. You really don't want to roll your own payment processing system. Apart from that, there's...

    Music Software Video Course

    EXECUTION 
    Hi George, Thanks for your feedback! It's very much appreciated :) To start with, I have released several albums using said software myself as an artist. While I wouldn't call myself top-of-the-game, people know my name and I have some reach. There's a couple of facebook, forums and Discord...

    My first CENTS Analysis (Video Course) - Feedback welcome!

    Ah, you're 100% (;)) correct, of course! What an oversight... Haven't decided on the self-hosted vs. platform issue yet. Hoping there's people on here with more experience with either/both.

    Music Software Video Course

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I'll use this thread to chronicle how the creation of my video course is going. I previously shared my CENTS analysis in another thread. My first update is that I finished the outline yesterday. Totals around 14 modules (they're not that big, might merge some depending on their...

    What wins did you have last week? What would make this week a win?

    HOT! 
    1. Started working on an outline for my video course (got 50% done, I reckon). Also, went to physiotherapy again, my knee’s feeling better already. 2. Finish the course, and write a script for one of the lessons. After that, I’m going to give recording a first try to see how it feels and what...

    The Definition of Value

    Can't remember where I got it from, but someone defined the whole exchange with a bargain. As long as someone feels they got a bargain, you provided more value than they thought the money was worth.

    My first CENTS Analysis (Video Course) - Feedback welcome!

    Hey all, Just finished both TMF and Unscripted, and I don't intend to spin my wheels in the world of theories very long. Today I did a CENTS analysis of a business idea I've had for a while now. I know, the only way to verify if this is a solid idea is to test it against the market-mind, but I...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Aaaand just finished my Audible listen for Unscripted :) To be honest, the first, say, quarter dragged on a bit, but starting from Part 3 it became very motivating and satisfying. Packed even more detail-punch than TMF. :) Exciting to start putting this into practice. Worked on a CENTS...

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Finished Atomic Habits before I continued on to TMF and ended up here. Funny, that! I think it’s a great book. Nothing particularly revolutionary in the theory department, but it shines because it summarizes other books nice and tightly, and boils them down to *actionable* steps more so than...

    Former business owner says hi!

    INTRO 
    Hey @Adir Barak! Thanks, and I agree! The truth is that the work itself is indeed fun, and every time I hear other people complain about their bosses I can only think: “Wow, mine aren’t actually douchebags and care about their employees.” I simply cannot lie about those two facts. But the fact...

    Former business owner says hi!

    INTRO 
    Hey Fastlaners! After having had TMF on my to-read list for several months, I got around to listening to it on Audible. Really liked the book for its sheer amount of information and straightforward tone. A lot rang true with me. It opened my eyes to new things, confirmed some of my own...
