    Built 100k business in 5 months. Now stuck.

    EXECUTION 
    This resonates with me as I have experienced this feeling enough times to kill a normal man. The main thing to keep in mind is the type of business we are in. It's a service business. We have direct and instantaneous feedback from our clients and market which can be both a blessing and a curse...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    ^^^This. I see agency training courses and the like day in and day out all over FB. The struggle is ALWAYS sales. Until it's fulfillment and performance :) This is part of the reason why I'm currently working on a sales training course for agencies, because it is such a big hurdle for agency...

    Marketing Problem

    MARKETING 
    For Facebook: I would probably do a radius targeting within a 3 hour drive of Aspen. That way you are covering all of the locals in driving distance, all of those people passing through, and the like. For Facebook, there isn't really a good reliable way they can gauge interest in a location...

    2019 Fastlane Summit - Announcement

    MEETUPS 
    Very sad to hear this. The summit this year was a GAMECHANGER for me and my business. The connections made with fellow Fastlaners, several of which now are forged in stone for years to come. The chance to put the faces to the names I have spoken to over the years. The ideas flowing from every...

    Built 100k business in 5 months. Now stuck.

    EXECUTION 
    I'm in a similar boat currently. 1 full time employee, a few sales guys, bringing on full time employee #2 and VA in next few weeks, have a few prospective sales directors in talks with. The key from here is systemize EVERYTHING. Sometimes that requires taking a few steps back to keep moving...

    How to use forums (and Facebook groups)

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Bump for many good reasons. Great content shared by @Andy Black as always. Great discussion on how to use Facebook Groups. Facebook groups are literally CHANGING THE GAME for my business. Every single day I am in there looking for new ones that get closer and closer to my target market for...

    #DeleteFacebook

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    The more I'm on Facebook (not as a time wasting exercise) the more my business grows. All I have to say is for business owners, avoid the platform at your own peril. The networking, availability of rich industry specific knowledge, ability to easily target specific demographics for any business...

    Learning and Applying Facebook Ads for E-commerce

    MARKETING 
    Personally, I have never seen an example of a Facebook pixel install accurately tracking revenue when compared side to side with Google Analytics. Even when considering entirely different attribution models and conversion windows, totally different. This is honestly the main reason why I have...

    It's a grade A book. I'd recommend everything Eugene Schwartz has written. It's all nuggets, no fluff.

    Skyrocketed Your Blog or Podcast With Animated Video- Done For You

    MARKETPLACE 
    Engaged @IlyaP last week to put together a video ad I wanted done for my ad management business. He had the first draft done FAST and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Still have a few changes to make as I am a novice when it comes to the field of video scripts, but the quality is top notch...

    2019 Fastlane Summit: Preliminary Speaker Call

    MEETUPS 
    I'd be interested in speaking. Probably on the topic of scalable human resource systems and processes to scale a service based business. Undecided on which at this point.

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I haven't spoken to too many about my pie in the sky, but it's lofty. When I first started down this path, after reading TMF and TR's Awaken the Giant Within, I fleshed out all of my materialistic goals. While I do still want a private island with a landing strip in addition to a 100ft yacht...

    The BEST Cold Email Techniques to Reach CEOs and VIPs

    MARKETING 
    Personally, I send out targeted emails highlighting specific issues I have found with the targets ads. Similar template based on the angle, but adds value in the sense that they could take the information I give them to reduce waste or by talking to me. The more personal it is, the more relevant...

    [Progress] Replacing My Income With Adwords Freelancing.

    EXECUTION 
    Some good advice from @eliquid & @Andy Black in this thread covering what I would call the two extremes of the spectrum of PPC management. The classic dilemma of who owns the account, how much to charge, and so on. The only advice I can add at this point is as Andy pointed out, start getting...

    Lost... about to be homeless.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Man, this thread hit me hard with the feels. I remember being in this situation. Back against the wall, and the other walls closing in around me. It's a shitty spot to be in any way you look at it. Fight or flight. Tons of good advice here, but the key of course is twofold. Reduce expenses and...
