    Opportunities in Food Business Entrepreneurship: Don't Dismiss It.

    NOTABLE! ASSERTION 
    Here's an "INE" idea that is not even a food product - just a kitchen utensil related to food. Let me explain. I've been eating gluten free for years, and I make my own gluten free sourdough bread from a recipe I developed by combining techniques from various gluten free bread recipes. I...

    My body reacts negatively to success and I need your help

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    It sounds to me like you're not setting boundaries. All this is purely a guess based on your post, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I very much doubt this is a matter of your body reacting negatively to success. It sounds like you're simply overloaded, fulfilling the expectations of everyone...

    Do I Reaaaaaally not need a website?

    MARKETING 
    Welcome to the forum. Here's the thing. You could put up all that fancy online stuff and still not get any sales. The point is not to forbid you from getting a website. The point is to focus your attention on the area that matters. Imagine that you set this up for yourself as a challenge...

    Topic : I just want to say hello

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! That's quite a story. Seems like you went through a lot. Glad you're doing better now. What attracted you to join the forum? What kind of fastlane plans or pursuits are you thinking about or doing?

    Aaaaand it's gone. (For anyone who got here too late, it was the former Google CEO sharing bombshell comments about AI in a talk at Stanford University.) I only got to see the first 10-12 minutes of it before it disappeared, but even in that amount, I can see why this went viral and now I...

    Glad to hear this update. I would have been gutted if you weren't grandfathered in. I'm so sorry that the last few years have been such a struggle. Don't feel bad or inadequate or like you don't contribute value here. I think the fastlane dream is still latent in you as it is in me. Even if...

    How to poach a manager from an established company?

    IDEA MINDSET SOURCING 
    Poaching is luring a potential employee to abandon their current job and switch to working for you. If you're asking about how you can get someone to basically be secretly working for you under the table while they keep their job, why would they even bother to do any work for you? Their first...

    Copywriting - how to get started?

    MARKETING 
    This would be my initial question as well. My advice for someone who wants to be a freelance copywriter would be different than my advice for someone who wants to just get the copywriting done for a particular product and move on. Based on the above information, it sounds like you want to DIY...

    Humble Hustle & Scaling My Agency - Progress Thread

    GOLD! 
    To me this sounds like a worse deal than listing a course on Udemy. This thread has some good stats on what I think is a "best case scenario" for making money on Udemy: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/violating-the-control-commandment-on-purpose.114358/#post-1132368 I...

    [PROGRESS] Bekit's Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    It's about time I update this thread. There was a post in another thread that said this, and I resonated with it so much that it made me want to post an update, if only to say, "Hey, other people are in the same boat, don't let that stop you from posting..." And there was another post in a...

    Sorry I missed this! I just now looked at this page on my profile. I figure you got your copy needs sorted after all this time, but let me know via DM if you need anything and I do tend to see those right away.

    Sorry for the delay - apparently I haven't visited this part of my profile in four years. Whoops! :eek::clench: Where did I learn write? Good question. A huge contributing factor was reading a LOT. Another factor was writing a lot. Another factor was telling a lot of stories to younger children...

    A Little Challenge: Selling an Old Wooden Piano for More Than "FREE"

    MARKETING 
    What variables do you have available to change? Not sure where this is posted or how much control you have over these things, but consider these options: - Change your title. The headline should stop the reader in their tracks. As an exercise, write 20-50 variations of your headline. (Here's a...

    Youtube Channel Feedback: Money is a Spiritual Tool

    MINDSET 
    Yes! I meant to say something like this. One way I've seen this done well is to have your main content first and then have a little "outtakes" / "epilogue" where you share the little tidbits that let viewers get a sense of your personality and thoughts on "extra" topics. Clutterbug is a...

    LOL that guy is a known shill who is paid by the CCP, and the Chinese EVs are notorious for catching on fire and failing in other ways (like randomly not letting the doors open or not starting or having other weird bugs). Chinese EVs are the epitome of "sell bad products and make cash from it...

    Have you been in the Women's Locker Room? Not that it's very active, just that you'd figure out who the ladies are by seeing who is posting there. I'm not your target audience, so take this with a grain of salt. It might just not be for me. However, I'm at least tangential to this particular...

    My introduction

    INTRO 
    Welcome and great intro! I'm surprised nobody responded after the first post. Sorry to hear about how your recent business didn't achieve the success that you wanted. You must be gutted to think about that. Any lessons learned that would be valuable for others? What are your next steps?

    Is This for Me?

    Welcome to the forum! You're a great writer and I am excited to see what you'll do! Sounds like both of your grandfathers would be proud to see you following in their footsteps. Are there any other relatives (e.g. siblings of your grandfathers) who might be able to tell you stories of how they...

    I use it to reinforce in my mind the fact that I made a good decision to use the Ignore feature. Discussions like these help me not to second-guess myself and get tempted to give an ignored user another chance. Nope! I see nothing has changed. It's only with certain people, and they are a vast...
