    Writing & Launching "The Old Money Blueprint" to 100 Reviews on Day 1

    HOT! BOOKS EXECUTION 
    I have not written or launched a book so you should probably disregard what is below. With that out of the way, my train of thought is that people who are killing time on YouTube and Tiktok and Instagram may be readers, but the real readers are probably busy reading somewhere. I know blog...

    If the U.S. Isn't an Option, Which Country Would You Choose Today?

    QUESTION 
    If I was born in Nigeria I'd probably be heading to Canada to grab a higher quality passport ASAP. Any time I've met someone from a country that has a "weak" passport, they cite this as this as their first major step to living a more successful life. I met a Belarusian couple who did this...

    I am running an affliate website on the side it makes about 200 EUR per month - what to do with it?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    15x monthly SDE, that's a pretty great valuation for this one. Congrats @fukrs

    If the U.S. Isn't an Option, Which Country Would You Choose Today?

    QUESTION 
    There are lots of conflicting priorities here, and you are asking 1 country to provide it all. My take is that you are missing the real opportunity which is to view countries as service providers. This ties into "The Sovereign Individual" or "Flag Theory" thinking. Your best career is likely...

    What do you guys understand by dropshipping?

    MARKETING 
    I think what you are describing is what the ecom folks call "private labelling".

    I am running an affliate website on the side it makes about 200 EUR per month - what to do with it?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    12x monthly SDE used to be a good valuation for non-English non-core display ad markets. This is before HCU and AI impacts. If you plan to sell, take the 2k EUR and run. Constructively, in it's current state, your website uses a custom framework (WordPress sites are easiest to sell), is in...

    I am running an affliate website on the side it makes about 200 EUR per month - what to do with it?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    If traffic is from Bing and ChatGPT, was it hit by the HCU? I don't think the multiples are there anymore. Authority leaders sell for 30x or so but smaller sites are a liability these days.

    HOT! CHAT 
    I was reflecting on this in my taxi the other day. Here's a nice guy driving me and my family around for 6 hours. My family stops to have dinner while he waits in the car. The whole days adventures cost me less than an hour of my time. Meanwhile, he's paid the equivalent to a few clicks...

    The Myth of the Comfort Zone that Just Won't Die!

    GOLD! MINDSET NEWSLETTER 
    I like the concept of ones "edge", as described by David Dieda. Similar to your point, MJ one is not growing in their comfort zone, but also being well past their edge is likely not constructive. The edge of their comfort zone, or in Dieda's language, their masculine edge, is where the growth...

    AI builds and flips... a new emerging Fastlane opportunity?

    - AI - 
    It's not only web design, its the ongoing updates and small annoying changes. It's annoying for both parties. The business owner wants a simple change made and it takes them 2 phone calls, 8 emails and 12 days before it's done. Sure it doesn't work for high end enterprise or government clients...

    AI builds and flips... a new emerging Fastlane opportunity?

    - AI - 
    Yes but you are deep in the weeds. The business is the wrapper that sells this to the small electrical business owner who struggles with Excel formulas for $150 per month.

    AI builds and flips... a new emerging Fastlane opportunity?

    - AI - 
    Reminds me of the MFA aka Made for Advertising websites (and to some extent Made for Amazon). I saw so many Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indonesian dudes buying dropped domains, slamming them with content, blasting them with more links, getting 8 months or so worth of SDE under their belt, then...

    Hello from Spain... and feeling stuck

    INTRO 
    I can't speak highly enough about having one. I was transient for some years and while it was fun, putting down roots allowed me to progress in business much quicker. We still travel plenty, but it's great to have somewhere to come home to.

    Did A Stable Career Kill My Entrepreneurial Drive?

    I see it as the fallback plan. I have never cracked the CENTS business model but I believe the Fastlane life can be achieved by.... Solid/stable income where you can deliver a lot of value in a time efficient manner. Avoid office politics and busy work bullshit and you'll be able to out perform...

    Hello from Spain... and feeling stuck

    INTRO 
    I've seen Brits (and other nationals) selling/brokering health insurance for UK national expats living in Spain (needed for their visa I believe), and also financial planners/managers for the same market. English speakers, selling to English speakers, but both buyer and seller have a common...
