    Fast lane is a mindset

    MINDSET 
    Disagree completely once again Mr Sunglasses Cat. I know loads of people that are "go-getters" in 100 areas of their lives that aren't business fast-laners. People that have done ultramarathons/iron mans, raised loads for charity, gotten really great jobs in companies doing meaningful work...

    Fast lane is a mindset

    MINDSET 
    Hello Mr Sunglasses Cat Man, it seems like you are getting permanently trolled due to one particular thread you made. I am trying to make sense of what the purpose of this thread is? I don't think you are saying anything of substance since mindset by definition is "the established set of...

    Do you bother with a pension?

    I'm 26 and I'm trying to work out if there any point whatsoever in having money tied up in a pension fund, it seems like the most slowlane possible way to treat money. I have a couple of thousand that my old employers had to legally put in that I'd actually forgotten about, until I got a letter...

    Running on empty & dealing with burnout

    MINDSET 
    Thanks everyone for your great words of encouragement, perhaps I was just being extra hard on myself that day. I ended up giving myself a half-day off today to sort out my personal stuff and a cafe ended up contacting me to be supplied with my ice cream all over winter and for the summer, which...

    Running on empty & dealing with burnout

    MINDSET 
    Not to derail, but yes and no. I've hired more people to do production and serving but in a sense, I've just upgraded my own job to mostly management (but I still end up the person that fills all the gaps) which has freed up a little time. The freed up time, however, is not being used that...

    Running on empty & dealing with burnout

    MINDSET 
    Hi Guys, I just wanted to take a moment to get the forum's thoughts on burnout and just the feeling of running on empty. I know there was a great thread going on about entrepreneurial depression and the like, but I wanted to just discuss this one specific aspect of entrepreneurship. To give...

    Let’s grow an ice cream business!

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everyone, I touched on my business in my into page (INTRO - Gelato Entrepreneur), but I thought it might be interesting to give you a much more detailed overview of what I’m doing, primarily for my own benefit (both for self-accountability and advice-seeking), but also to hopefully help...

    Wow the man himself! Cheers, happy to be here I only have 10 "spaces" so 10 flavours at any given time, with 8 of them being "classics" that I have permanently and 2 "specials" that I continuously change. Ah thanks very much but I had a slightly unfair advantage in that my parents were both...

    Thanks again, this might be a stupid question, but how does one even go about finding somebody that is involved in scaling businesses like mine?

    @Primeperiwinkle thank you very much :smile2:absolutely, the CENTS is such a fantastic testing tool for a business and a really good way to look at yourself critically. @Kevin88660 Hi Kevin, thanks for your thoughts and concerns. If I am honest, I feel pretty young both in age and in terms of...

    Walter Hay's Business Books

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hi Walter, your website for the franchising doesn't seem to work (at least for me). I was also wondering if the info in the book was applicable to any country? I've found most resources to be USA centric (my biz is in the UK)

    Ooff, tough one. Pistachio is a classic, my chocolate took the longest to get right, salted caramel pays the bills and I'll go for a fruity one on a hot summer day. But perhaps my top one would have to be "Zabajone" a classic egg yolk and marsala one that isn't really popular outside of Italy...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I initially passed up on the book because I looked at the title and thought it was another "just follow your dreams and they will become a reality" type of motivational books. After starting my business, I stumbled onto this forum and, after reading a few gold threads, decided to give the book...

    Hi everyone, My name is Lewis, 25, from the UK. I’m the owner of an artisan ice cream company here. It’s my second year in business and, while it’s been incredibly hard at times (as I’m sure you can all relate), I’m very happy and things are going pretty well. I was born and grew up in Italy...
