    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Can't say I'm terribly informed on how the country's medical infrastructure is, but they have been swamped basically the entire time. Not just one city, or region, virtually the entire country. I'm in Bogota. During the protests the metro system was heavily vandalized which has affected...

    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I've been living here the past 18 months. It's been pretty damn sad how badly the pandemic has affected this country. On top of that the protests from the past 5-6 weeks have also exacerbated the tension here. That being said they are still on the verge of going to a full re-opening.

    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I just miss the extremes of summer and winter from where I grew up, so the guaranteed climate year around isn't what I enjoy. Not sure where I want to live, and I doubt I'll know for years. I've learned to enjoy all types of cities and towns and countries (not that I've been all over the world).

    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    No seasons, one climate year round. Windy more often than not. Bad public transport. Highly elevated city. I was born here so there's that soft spot and the locals are charming. But it's not longterm for me at all.

    Vent about the fastlane formula

    GOLD! HOT! 
    From your post you made the assumption that there are a lot of average and typical entrepeneurs here. The whole premise of this community and what we are taught is to not be average at all.

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Great work. Let me ask you this. For a business that has a pretty low entry barrier, to what do you attribute your explosive success? I feel like you'll say what separates you from the competition is your no-nonsense, customer-centric approach all the while ensuring that your employees...

    Rejected from one of the worst colleges in my state

    the first of many. Better get used to that feeling if you have any hopes of making it fastlane.

    Have you ever sold to someone after a poor first impression?

    FTE EXECUTION 
    So I'm still very new and raw in my industry despite having several prospects interested in my inventory. I say this to stress the fact I am far from an expert and am hardly anything other than a novice. That being said I've had some sales calls with CEO's and decision makers and this most...

    Need your opinion. Confused right now :(

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I kind of feel that way about what I do now. Except it's not the nature of my industry as it's not adult content. But I'm currently living with family and when I make calls, whether cold or not, I still like complete privacy. What I find comfortable is sticking my head out of my window and...

    Equipment for YouTube channel

    Not a YT'er but I know a few. I've been told the best equipment and camera to start with is what you currently have available to you. Not uncommon at all to see people start out grainy and have their presentation become more pro once their content starts generating income. Also focus more so...

    What is your technique for following up lead

    MARKETING 
    I'm in the middle of something similar myself. Assuming you have evidence of a tangible product, simply share that with enough people in their marketplace and they'll begin to engage with you.

    What is your technique for following up lead

    MARKETING 
    My rule of thumb: Every follow up in your sequence has to offer some value, no matter how small or large. It can be a document, video, trial run, or just a piece of insight. I avoid following up just to see if they are going to convert, which is basically asking for their money, and not...

    Advice on cold calling a business

    EXECUTION 
    This is a pretty in-depth topic that I could really get into. Based on your post, I'd say first and foremost, it's all about mindset. (cliché, I know) Something that helped me when I was nervous and self-conscious, was to not even consider what I was doing a "cold call", per-se. I was simply...
