    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Whew, it's about time! After all this time on the forum, I just finished the book for the first time. I was curious if my voracious consumption of forum threads would leave anything new to discover in the book. And while many of the concepts had become deeply familiar to me through my time in...

    Is CENTS Destructive to Action?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    At the end of the Millionaire Fastlane, there's a paragraph that says, CENTS doesn't intrinsically lead to paralysis. It's your mindset and your choices that determine whether you will take action or not. If someone uses that as an excuse, I think the deeper issue is that they aren't...

    The 5am Club - Worth it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    You might want to check this out. It's a deep look at someone who tried to need less sleep. The accompanying discussion on self-discipline is interesting. If Self-Discipline Feels Difficult, Then You're Doing It Wrong

    A New Guy

    INTRO 
    Probably the easiest way to get it onto your website is to create an "About" page and tell the story there. Let them get to know you, sort of the way you introduced yourself here. People buy from people they know, like, and trust. We're wired to respond to stories. Just putting up a simple...

    Building SaaS with a full time job, finding focus and pacing

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Hey - really sorry to hear about your experience with the other marketer. I'm a professional copywriter, and here are some ideas for you. I know how it feels to be busy and not have enough bandwidth to do everything. But my instinct when I read your post was the same as NMDad - dissolve this...

    A New Guy

    INTRO 
    Great intro! And welcome to the forum. I do have to differ with one statement you made. Dude, you're an excellent writer. I don't know what you're talking about to say you're not. I mean, just check out this gem from the blog: I earn my living through my writing, and I'm pretty sure any...

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    Fair point. To an extent. I would argue, though, that it's not that simple to just "opt out." I had deleted my facebook account, but in order to open a business page, you have to have a personal page. So I opened one back up. Not that I use it. But if I want to play the game of facebook ads...

    Extreme lack of self-belief has been haunting me for years. Need help

    MINDSET 
    Hey that's rough, and it's crazy how hard you have to fight to get ahead in this game sometimes. Sorry to hear about what you're going through. I just happened to read this article today, and I thought maybe it would give you a new perspective: The Quest to the Unlived Life - More To That The...

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    My personal opinion: Google IS a government. Facebook IS a government. Zuck is a king over a country. And the population is a lot larger than the population of the US. A lot of us hold dual citizenship in a lot of these "countries." And we're operating under the illusion that these are just...

    Help with picking my next phone

    I recently got a new phone after having two Samsung Galaxy Note 5's in a row. The Note 5 was a dream, and I got spoiled. Everything that everyone says about running a business from a premium phone is absolutely true. So I was considering the Note 9. But the stylus on the Note 9 doesn't...

    The Right Path?

    Wait... You are making $250-400 per month with only 3100 subscribers? That's crazy. How does that work? Is it your affiliate links or the YouTube ads? I would have thought you needed more subscribers than that... Is your e-commerce product intrinsically seasonal, or could effective marketing...

    What Are Your Self-Imposed Handicaps & Limitations?

    Great topic! I have identified several unhelpful limiting beliefs in myself recently. One is, "I'm not a sophisticated business person, so I don't have what it takes to close deals." One is, "I'm not worth being paid for my services." And one is just plain old fear rising up when I try to...

    My brother tried to kill me and my family did nothing about it.

    PEOPLE RANT 
    Hey Daniel, I'm really sorry about what happened to you. I agree with all the others who posted here saying to get out of there, fast. One idea I had for how your exit strategy could actually work in the short term: Get a blue collar job. Why? Because there is a shortage of labor, driving...

    How to avoid poisonous people and friends?

    PEOPLE 
    What you have just described is someone with narcissistic (if not sociopathic) behavior traits. From what you've written, it seems like you have two friends, but this other person (I'll call him the narcissist) is always with them. So in order for you to be with your friends, you also have to...

    Difficult choice...

    If your current job is something you're not passionate about, and the new job opportunity does interest you, is there any reason why you can't negotiate the salary? If you're good at sales in your current position, then you'll be good at sales anywhere (and you'll be making THEM a lot more...

    How To Stay Super Sharp After A Soul Crushing Job?

    MINDSET FTE 
    I had a day like that today. I was wondering, "Is this pure, unacceptable laziness? Or is there a deeper reason why I can't seem to bring myself to take action? What's going on, and why can't I just command my brain to snap into it and get stuff done?" There's something to this. It seems like...

    [PROGRESS] Bekit's Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    Wow, @ZCP ... I read this and when I got to "no belief in your product," I was like, "How does he know????" So I thought it over. The simple fact that you identified this clarified a lot of things for me. I wouldn't have even realized that that was one of the things holding me back. But after...

    EXECUTION 
    Oh my goodness. You guys!! Thank you so much for rooting for me! Great analogy about the diamonds and the reminder that when I look back in a year, I'll be able to see that I have come really far. This was a good reality check - Start small and build momentum. While there's a part of me that...

    Local advertising magazine startup

    From a copywriting perspective, couple of big questions... Did your pitch include the price anchoring aspect? Highlight to your prospects that if they get their ad printed separately, it'll be $800, but this is only $75 for the SAME EXACT amount of copies distributed to homes in the local area...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much! Yeah, making those sales was exciting. And then, immediately afterward, it was like... *gulp* I'm on the hook to actually deliver now! Yikes... the rubber hits the road! I was just re-reading your craigslist thread and your Definite Guide to Productized Services. Really...
