    From the miserable comforts of the mediocre slowlane

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    The trouble with metaphors and cliché's is they can often be confusing. If you goal is to get to the top of the mountain, there's nothing wrong with taking a safer path that might be a little longer as opposed to the risk of falling to your death because you took on a challenge you weren't...

    Need your insight.

    I'm going to be blunt and give you feedback from the perspective of one who was once in leadership of a company using overseas manufacturing. Please understand that no offense is intended - this is just plain, unadulterated, non-sugar coated observation. Bottom line up front: All the...

    Nothing’s so bad it couldn’t be worse

    MINDSET 
    I can understand your concern. It would be tragic if something bad happened because they were rushing to the hospital. I wonder how many accidents are caused by similar circumstances. Wishing the best for them.

    I'm not sure what situation you're referring to, but I agree with the concept. As a young officer it was drilled in my head, stop and think. One of my commanders, an F-14 pilot, said the first thing he'd do when a warning light lit up was "stop and wind the clock." Apparently there was a...

    A Story to Inspire (From drug addict to entrepreneur)

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    This is pure gold. Show up, have a smile, engage with the customer. This is not rocket science it's people and people are by nature gregarious. You got off your butt and put yourself out there - and it worked. Unfortunately, many people forget this lesson (if they ever learn it) and wonder...

    Do we really need to a million books just to be wealthy?

    HOT! 
    At the risk of getting overly philosophical and with no intention of taking a position on religion...there is no one religious book. As you stated in your initial post, there are several iterations of the same theme, "the word of God." Yet each religion claims their book is "the one". I...

    Do we really need to a million books just to be wealthy?

    HOT! 
    I think you missed the point. Education is the check - not books per say. For some people books are among the right tools. I like to read, study then practice what I've learned. Others like to dive right in - see if they can put it together without reading the instructions. Some want a...

    Kevin O’ Leary says investing $100 a week will make you a millionaire by retirement

    HOT! 
    Spot on MJ. I've seen many a good company, of all sizes, falter/fail because the didn't save and weren't able to survive - or were severely crippled by - the inevitable hits: fire, hurricane, down turns, taxes, pandemic, etc. Saving is an important discipline no matter how much you're raking in.

    Advise on tour operator business. (market strongly hit by covid)

    Forgive me if you're already doing or have thought of this... What about different themed tours: haunted, famous murders, financial, 9/11, "Gangs of NY", movie locations? Each tour is a little different either attracting a different client or repeat biz from folks happy with the last tour...

    Advise on tour operator business. (market strongly hit by covid)

    Purely MHO: Tourism will rebound. The question is how many existing tourism players can wait it out. A very few will take advantage of this situation to prepare for the rebound such as you've suggested - improvement to operations, repair/replace hard assets, etc. Others will need to find...

    Introducing myself

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. There's a wealth of information throughout the many threads here. I recommend you plan some time blocks into your week for reading them or you'll feel overwhelmed. Which of MJ's books have you read?

    A very good point SteveO. I wrestle with this frequently. I know a lot of people who want to do better but are not ready to go Fastlane. I know if I push Fastlane too hard they will shut down or ignore me. So I try to help them "do better" in the slow lane AND keep exposing them to Fastlane...

    Youtube Brand Execution/Intro/From Apathy/Depression to 4AM 10-12 Hours PASSION.

    INTRO 
    I'll admit that was my first thought. Then I got to thinking - YouTube is one of many paths entrepreneurs use and we're here to help each other find success. It's hard to get feedback on what you're doing without sharing what you're doing. Folks here share what they're doing on many other...

    A very good first effort Tam, congrats! From my experience making vids, I have a very good idea of the time and effort involved in making that video. You also did a good recognizing areas where you need to improve. You know you need to work on voice overs and speaking. It was monotone...

    Tips on how to get started

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum and best of luck with your businesses. I'm curious, MJ talks about being monogamous with your biz to give it the best chance of success. You have two, soon a third. Is one of them so well established that you have this flexibility?
