    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    I'm pretty easy. If a realtor brings me a buyer, they get the next listing. Maybe go in with that "deal" and see where the relationship goes. I would recommend smaller builders too. The large ones try their best to sell them in-house. I form most of my relationships outside of work...

    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    As requested, ha! I was given the opportunity to speak at the Summit this year about the spec home business. I ran through the creation of the business (and many other not so great companies I started) and I think the group liked it. I really enjoyed showing what it took to get this business...

    MINDSET 
    I'd work on 2 things: 1. Learning how to build healthy boundaries 2. Figure out the value of your time I spend a tremendous amount of time doing my philanthropies. I can do that because I set boundaries up that prevent "abuse of niceness" and built a business that values my time.

    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    Wow, what a summit! @MJ DeMarco thank you so much for trusting me to present to the group. I'm not a public speaker and frankly 120 high achievers giving 45 minutes of their life to listen to me was terrifying....until I looked around the room and saw the reassurance of so many friends (new and...

    Lol, you aren't late. Actually you are in your prime earning years. Put in the work here and watch how quickly you progress compared to those "young bucks" :) Welcome to the forum, read a lot and ask the best questions you can.

    Cold Callers: I want your opinion!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    If it were my business I would scrap the cold calling. Why? Because gatekeepers expect that type of service business to cold call. I would break that process up more like: 1. Find the worst cleaning companies in your area (google reviews to start). 2. Find their customers (trail them, whatever)...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    Nothing wrong with a job. Most people have them. Just make sure you are getting one for the right reason. Make sure you aren't trying to avoid the hard stuff though (the walls). In your description you mentioned dropping out twice, being alone, working too hard. These are walls. These are what...

    Professional Services: Fastlane Enough?

    Very unlikely. Architect here, tried it. Professional services break to many of the CENTS commandments, mainly time. I chose to pivot my profession to a business model more in line with the fastlane mentality.

    How do you find out if there is a need for it?

    Most people run tests. It's ok to not have a fully functioning product to gauge interest....as long as you aren't scamming people. I don't like to set numbers to evaluate a business up front. I like to test until I become convinced its a "go".

    Identity Hacking: How to Kill Your Status Quo

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    For me it is very simple. I just tell people "who" I am, not just "what I am doing". For instance - I tell people I am a developer (real estate). I do this to reinforce (to myself) that I AM a developer. If I were to use the "status quo" method it would read like: I am an Architect that builds...

    2018 Fastlane Summit - Confirmed Speaker List

    MEETUPS 
    I'll be going to the concert...and here is why. A few years ago several fastlaners went to a Bone Thugs in Harmony concert that coincided with an event. It was after midnight, I am 40+ and had never been to a "rap" concert. I'm not sure if I have ever had more fun in my life! That memory will...

    How do you go about asking people what their problems are?

    Business ideas based on your quote: A bag handle capable of comfortably handling 4+ bags of groceries. A store design where you leave your bags then drive through and they put them in your car. A pedometer app that counts steps you take in a store then gives you discounts accordingly. A parking...
