    Motivate me..! I just can't do the work..!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Every time you don’t feel like doing anything, or you feel yourself avoiding doing real work and doing menial tasks say to yourself: “I’d rather waste my time than be successful” “I’d rather live my life incarcerated in a corporate prison rather than do what it takes to make happen” if you...

    How to start any business

    MINDSET 
    A dose of reality: When you going to stop thinking about starting a business, and when are you going to start executing on a business? Just pull the trigger already. Start, try, fail/succeed doesn't matter. Execution over everything else. If you want to make a real business, get used to...

    HELP: I'm Young and I Have a Lot of Questions! Maple Syrup is the Answer

    MINDSET 
    Maple syrup isn't fastlane though. Does it follow CENTS? Elon Musk didn't do maple syrup. Seems hard.

    Anyone have a vending machine business?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yes, they are everywhere in big warehouses, commercial buildings, even in parks. Someone is doing it, and someone is probably winning big while doing it. The question is, can you get in before the other guys do? I'm not in this industry, but I'd assume, once your vending machine is in, it's...

    HOT! 
    Pressure Washing. Painting. window cleaning cutting grass Seems silly? Most people are riding the big tech wave. Trying to code, etc. the competition in blue collar industries? absolutely sucks. they can't communicate. they can't show up on time. They don't seem honest or trustworthy. They...

    Y I'm feeling stuck

    MINDSET 
    Action creates action. inaction creates inaction. I want to give you an analogy. Let's say you are at home, but don't feel like going to the gym to workout today. I want you to think about it, when do you most likely feel this way? When you're sitting on the couch doing nothing. The inaction...

    How to keep your UNSCRIPTED Mindset when surrounded with MEDIOCRE People

    I understand this. What's really helped me, and may almost seem counter-intuitive, is get to a point where you brainwash yourself so much into "unscripted" that nothing else is even an option. At 22, I am surrounded by many mediocre people. Dropping out of college though really helped get away...

    How Do I Learn To Love Boredom?

    MINDSET 
    I’m going to make it really simple. This changed my life. Everyday, I want you to do the small things you don’t want to do, when you don’t want to do them. For example: after eating and you don’t want to take your plate to the dishwasher, get up immediately and put it in the dish washer. Start...

    A Story to Inspire (From drug addict to entrepreneur)

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I got my first client by talking to the network I already had. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. I literally rented a pressure washer the day before and pressure washed my mom's house for free just to practice. (not that it's very difficult though). If you have no one in your...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I actually used FHA as well. I got someone to co-sign on a loan to be a borrower as well. I ended up paying for the down-payment etc. I initially did it to live in 1 side and rent out the other side. Ended up moving out after a month though and fully rented it out. See if you can talk to your...

    Thank you! Yes it has been very consistent. I created a different video a couple months back, as it was getting “stale” . Used the same template and the ad still keeps me booked out a week or 2.

    A Story to Inspire (From drug addict to entrepreneur)

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Sorry to hear. I've tried many things to get leads. Flyers, google ads, etc. The only marketing I do now is Facebook Ads. A member from this forum reached out to me back in March and offered to do Facebook ads for me for free so he could do a case study on the results. I, of course, said yes...

    check out Lima One Capital. They are a pretty good lender. Most of which I have used private lenders. AKA people I know that will lend money. Not sure what exactly you are trying to do, but it can be difficult to find private money for rental properties. Simply because most of them want their...

    Check out the biggerpockets podcast as well as the website. Learned majority of the info from consuming tons of their podcasts and youtube videos. A good book though, to learn the absolute basics of investing in RE, "how to invest in real estate" by joshua dorkin and Brandon Turner. (the guys...

    A Story to Inspire (From drug addict to entrepreneur)

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Hey Fastlaners, I wanted to briefly share my story thus far to hopefully inspire those who are younger or struggling. 3 years ago, I was a struggling drug addict. I was addicted to cocaine, pills, codeine, and dabbled in many things I probably should have never dabbled in. Then, I got arrested...

    Tiny Home Company

    EXECUTION 
    Cool, cool, cool. Tiny homes are interesting. I wonder if connecting with realtors would be beneficial. Maybe someone saying to their realtor their looking for a tiny home and they could refer to you to custom build one.

    How to respond to haters

    HOT! MINDSET 
    A wolf is a scary sight for a bunch of sheep. I just dropped out of college. I was a 4th year sophomore. People thought I was crazy and talked shit, now they ask me how I did it. Funny how things work

    What have you done in the past 30 days?

    EXECUTION 
    We all see it a lot on this forum. “Just launches new business” “how do I get started” etc. Sometimes, all you need to do to snap out of action faking is by opening your eyes to what you’ve actually done. To see what kind of results you’ve actually produced or haven’t produced. this is the...

    How to find a need / problem?

    I used to ask this question a lot in my own mind. Then I realized, I’m really overthinking everything. You don’t have to find a brand new problem that no one has ever solved before. I ended up starting a pressure washing business because I just wanted to start something. Many would say that’s...
