    Basic Question about entreprenuership

    CHAT 
    In my personal experience that has proven to be true - consistency over anything else. However, it is very important to experiment, try different avenues, tweak your offer, do things you haven't done before, talk to new people, etc. By no means I've "made it" but yeah, it's amazing how much can...

    Basic Question about entreprenuership

    CHAT 
    We've all been there, I started by creating random dropshipping stores. My logic was: "Oh, look at this thing, I could get it for $2 and sell it for $20, I'm going to be rich!" Obviously, that didn't work out. So, I started freelancing, and the more problems I solved, the more money my clients...

    Got into the best collage in my country - how can I use it?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Definitely, I also studied entirely free. I would NOT get 6 figures in debt to do so.

    Got into the best collage in my country - how can I use it?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Who knows, it's 2024! Just kidding. It's solid advice, and I'm totally with you here but it's hard to execute on it. I've been there - thinking whether university is worth it, I decided it was not but looking back at it, I believe it would have been. However, it all depends, some people make it...

    Basic Question about entreprenuership

    CHAT 
    The first basic most ignored is actually fulfilling a need. Far too many people build a business and struggle to get customers, sure sales & marketing are tricky, but most of the time, the problem is not those but the offer/product/service is just crap. People build stuff no one needs or stuff...

    Got into the best collage in my country - how can I use it?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    He (or she idk) gave a specific experience. What you propose is extremely generic - "sell what people need/want". @Trybun I'd go to the university and try to build a business during my free time (if any). Worst case, you will get a high-paying job and you can resume building a business in the...

    What is the best sales advice you've learned and can impart?

    GOLD! HOT! MARKETING 
    I'm far from a sales expert, but I've worked with GoHighLevel for a couple of years (one of my clients uses it). What is your product? Is it a GHL white-label thing? I've seen this advertised as a massive opportunity on social media, but that's far from "I have a SaaS", it's just a white-label...

    Hardest online business to start?

    EXECUTION 
    "I have time on my hands" is probably not enough to build the "hardest" online business. What does that even mean? Hardest is a very abstract concept. I'm sure there are some 3rd world freelancers for whom making $10,000 a month, or even $1000 is harder than it was for Zuckerberg to make his...

    Meditation or Marketing?

    QUESTION 
    If you have to ask such a question, you're in no place to make money with "meditation." Start a business (marketing services or other), and meditate to keep your mindset in check just like brushing your teeth daily and drinking water instead of vodka to stay hydrated.

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I've found that every restaurant has tofu, so I just asked: "Can I have this but replace chicken/shrimp/whatever meat with tofu?" Worked really well, tofu pad thai was my favorite. Also, tofu in general was available in every large store and super cheap.

    What Do You Think?

    IDEA 
    This is a great example of over-over-overthinking. Get the basic tools and go knock on your neighbor's doors. That will give you a lot more useful insight than a "Kinetic Execution Plan". While you're doing your planning, there are kids making money cleaning windows. What you've done is not...

    Can I figure out how many hours fastlane might take?

    IDEA MINDSET EXECUTION 
    When I was in my early 20s, I was pretty certain that I will be near a millionaire by 30. Now, that 30 is just a couple of years away, I can comment on it (personal and subjective, of course). Sure, there are people who quit their jobs, pursue their things, and build successful businesses...

    I mentor people for five figures - and the skill transforms their lives.

    ASSERTION EXECUTION 
    In your case, very few should find it problematic. What many people do find to be problematic are mentors with no relevant track record building programs that they only understand on a theoretical level. E.g. a 20-year-old guy selling a course on how to build a successful marketing agency...

    Starting to create my business and want to update here on my progress

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Hey, Starting from wordpress.com will be tough. What you should do instead is first purchase your domain and hosting. I'm personally using it and all my clients use siteground.com Pick a domain name, and add hosting to it, once done, ask support to help you install WordPress (they have amazing...

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

    MARKETING 
    I don't know anything about pianos but I've given away two and know it's a nightmare to even find someone to pick them up for free. Now those likely didn't have any brand but looked similar to yours in the picture. One of them actually got destroyed, so it would be easier to get it to the...

    StoryBrand. 10k for this certification?

    I think it depends on what outcome you're expecting and your current position. Would I, a freelance marketer, making low to high 4 figures a month buy it? No. Do I think it would be useful for someone looking to start a relevant business? Yes, but there are cheaper ways to get started. However...

    Content Marketing vs. Ads: Which Should You Prioritize for Your Business?

    MARKETING 
    Depends on the business model. An ecommerce brand would be best having both content for organic traffic (plus social proof) and ads for direct sales. A tractor mechanic shop? It doesn't need to be on Instagram and TikTok. You said it yourself - content marketing is generally free, delivers...
