    Maybe I just suck in business.

    What an awesome video. So short but completely changed my view. Thank you Andy. Now I know since I've crossed those early problems, I know I'm not last on the leaderboard, I will need the problems to solve to get higher on the leaderboard. The more problems I solve, the higher my position. What...

    Yeah. But I haven't had ONE successfully satisfied customer. 0/3 is a really bad score. And I'm afraid it might be worse than that since I can't tell the problems I might have. I developed systems for the first three clients so it will be a very smooth process with zero problems. It didn't work...

    Concisely: I have opened a small laundry shop and it's been going very well. So I started thinking big and decided to scale. I had in mind to be the most popular laundry shop in my state. I followed on what I said and posted up banners in a very rich neighborhood with free pickup and delivery...

    How do I get them to trust me!!

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for asking. I have been getting so much orders now from the banners I posted earlier about a week ago. Customers are calling left and right and I haven't even shared the fliers yet. I can only imagine how many more customers I will get when I give out fliers. The scalability of this is...

    Oops, I'm from Nigeria. I just replied to Sanderdehoogh saying where I'm based. So after offering great discounts to pull the customers in, how do you increase prices after working with them 2-3 times. Won't they leave? I feel like it's impossible to increase prices and get them to continue buying

    How do I get them to trust me!!

    MARKETING 
    I'm from Nigeria, so maybe now you might understand why it's so hard to build up trust lol. My plan is since I've started getting a few customers now, I can ask them for referrals thereby increasing trust. From this thread, I have also understood that its kind of normal for potential customers...

    MARKETING 
    I do have a physical location but it's a small laundry shop compared to competitors. Showing the photos of my shop might slightly disuade them so I'm not really sure. Although, today I got a few calls from some banners I already posted on streets. The banners did not have my shop photos but...

    MARKETING 
    Wow! Gold. An infinite loop of new customers. I will definitely try it out. Although, for their first order, I already gave them a large discount and increasing that discount in the next order might bring a 0 profit service. Is it worth it to get the recurring customer or not? Getting 0 profits...

    Perhaps, I spoke too soon. Today, I've had multiple clients call me and actually take my service - I was busy all day. This is literally the best day of my life knowing that I can get people without actually seeing my shop eye to eye which is groundbreaking in my country. Your strategy works...

    Thank you for your reply Steve. My services are washing and dry cleaning, I'm trying to scale the laundromart by finding clients that are not in my area - so I'm giving our flyers and posting banners - The problem is most people in my country are accustomed to going to the laundromarts or any...

    MARKETING 
    Thank you for your reply Plushylad. Most people do not engage with websites or apps in my country, also the upfront cost will be very high for me to do that. I wanted to open a Facebook page but my laundromat is very small, not huge and confidence inspiring, but my work is the best, better than...

    So I have opened a laundry shop for a few weeks now and I have been getting customers around the area which is nice, but my ambition is to get sales from clients that are not in my area and be the top laundry shop in my state within 1 year. For now I'm focusing on passing out flyers with free...

    Thank you for your replies Subsonic and Happyheart. What I'm most scared of is that I'll lose all of my loved ones. My siblings, cousins and friends I hang with. I would basically have to start my social life afresh and I cannot start to imagine that. I'm very extroverted especially with my...

    Once I tell them I'm making money, they'll straight up just take it away from me, all of it. I mean when I started I was so excited - "Oh man, I can't wait to tell my father this, he'll be so proud!" Nope, "Give me all your money! You are my child and all you own is mine!" lol. And they keep...

    Hey man, how do deal with spending the money you earn around your parents? I am increasingly buying more stuff whether for myself or my business and my parents are getting very suspicious. I give them silly replies but I know it won't last for long. How do you deal with this? Like I have...

    Dude that's awesome. So happy for your progress. I'm also from Nigeria and have seen massive progress in my finances since reading the millionaire fastlane.

    Hello I'm Otis from Nigeria

    INTRO 
    I'm from Nigeria too, Kano to be specific. I was in that exact situation 1 year ago. Just got into uni, suffered from bad grades, didn't own shit, had no friends let alone girlfriends, a slave to my parents and basically a worthless human being who contributed ZERO to the society. Now I look...

    Personal Car dilemma

    INVESTING 
    Might as well keep using the truck because any beater car you can get for 3 to 5k will have its own problems. Plus, the process of selling the car, buying a new car and registering it will take too much time. Basically, the few dollars saved will not justify the little gain. Hopefully, when...
