    I am an action faker.

    MINDSET 
    Pre-decide what you're going to do (and when, like pre-schedule time blocks for those actions), then just do the action. Don't think about it, otherwise doubt sets in and you just won't do it. Be a robot & just do what you pre-decided you'd do.

    Various "problems" starting a profitable business

    MINDSET 
    Agree with what others said about discipline & building that muscle. You were a professional athlete, so you had to train daily, right? You probably had a routine. Create a routine for your entrepreneurial journey. How will you train, what specific activities do you need to train on to create...

    Porking with Purpose (Dad Blog) PROGRESS THREAD

    EXECUTION 
    Also, gotta say that the site name is weird--porking has a sexual connotation. If I was looking for info about being a dad, I'd definitely NOT click on that URL. Sounds NSFW or possibly fetish-y.

    Porking with Purpose (Dad Blog) PROGRESS THREAD

    EXECUTION 
    Agree. My kids are now 18 (oi!) and 14. Very different stages & challenges as a parent than when they were 2 months old, 4 years old, or 9 years old. But there are still common themes--like, how do I parent so I raise a responsible adult? If I die today, what will I want to have instilled in...

    New Intro And Thoughts About Business Ideas

    IDEA 
    Ask the market. If they'll pay for it, that's true validation. My--or others'--opinion, unless we're your target customer, will be uninformed & could lead you astray.

    New Intro And Thoughts About Business Ideas

    IDEA 
    For each of your ideas, talk to people who you think could be your customers, and find out if they have pain for those problems--and if they'd pay for a solution. Some of the ideas might be "nice to have" but not be powerful enough to get people eager to pay. Oftentimes (usually) a "maybe" is a...

    The fastlane of a young 24years old guy HELP

    INTRO 
    Being the sole provider is a heavy responsibility--but it can also fuel your motivation so you push yourself to do more. Sounds like you have 3 businesses, not brands per se. In any case, for the holiday homes, what can you do to: decrease vacancy? increase the rental price? what other...

    Feeling Down The Past Few Days

    MINDSET 
    Many of us are in the middle ground, and many others live in the desert of desertion. Sometimes asking simple questions can get you unstuck: What would it take to grow your revenue 50-100% What can you delegate, automate, or delete from your to-do list? With more details about your situation...

    He wants 6 months free? F that guy. Waste no more time on that lead--even if he replies to your discount.

    Create Systems as SOON as you have time

    RANT 
    Here are a couple ways I decide & have heard other fastlaners decide: What do you suck at? What tasks are $1/hour or $10/hour tasks instead of $100/hour or $1,000/hour tasks? What do I keep putting off? If it really needs to be done, how & to whom can I hand it off? What's a small way or small...

    Create Systems as SOON as you have time

    RANT 
    I get it, and I've been there. It seems easier to do all that crap yourself instead of putting time into documenting, training, and answering the inevitable questions from those to whom you delegate. However, cliche or not, time spent building systems is an investment that pays off. What if it...

    Brick By Brick

    EXECUTION 
    Welcome to the tribe! From what you described, you've already taken action on a bunch of things--that's great! And it sounds like you've done a lot of hustling (not action faking). And having a "why" of helping your mom is great--fuel for your engine. So what's your next step(s)? What...

    Computer Engineer that doesn't want to settle with a 9 to 5 job

    INTRO 
    Welcome aboard! As a computer engineer, you already have valuable skills. One thing I've seen developers struggle with is being too general: they can help anyone with anything, and consequently have a hard time getting clients/projects. What you might consider is focusing on a very specific...

    Children's Book Publishing... WOW?!

    HOT! 
    Enormous market, not just for books, but toys, accessories, & on & on. Note J.K. Rowling, Star Wars, etc. Huge opportunity for stories & characters that resonate. Sadly, there's lots of chaff & crap content in kids books & movies.

    Who am I

    INTRO 
    Welcome aboard! I see you're a child of the 60's--a fellow old-timer! :) Not sure how many folks here are into metaphysics. International commission agent dealing with seafood, eh? Interesting. Seems like there could be opportunity for you to source for restaurant chains, food manufacturers, etc.

    EXECUTION 
    Well done! So, 50 emails and 1 who's interested--that's a 2% response rate, which is pretty good for cold emailing. What can you do to: increase that response rate, increase the number of responses, and close those responses/prospects on an initial engagement? Something else you might try...
