    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I'm a very avid reader, but recently I've reached a point where the books I read share similar views and topics on success. In my execution of TMF using the CENTS framework I have taken more pride in executing / doing, & reading / researching as & when needed.

    How do you guys deal with being too different from ordinary people?

    MINDSET 
    I think many of us here feel different, kinda isolated & alone because of it. It is very easy to lose friends (and instead gravitate toward friends that share the values & interests you do) however it is much harder when it is family. I think we should not be too harsh with ourselves. Just...

    Finding My Way

    INTRO 
    I'm in South Africa & in my late 30s, and I can tell you this, people here (eve much younger than you) are also waiting on their pension. My folks are nearing retirement, they are borderline ok with the retirement payment, personally I don't see myself following this route.

    Finding My Way

    INTRO 
    Welcome @RobertNova First; that must be the best work benefit I've ever heard off. Love it. Hope you make the most of it. Second; separating the wheat from the chaff is certainly something I am familiar with, because on the contrary to unlimited information at your fingertips, is, execution...

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    GURUS 
    I've always felt that Tai Lopez talks 'truth' about absolutely nothing .... lol. But he also seems to make money. I also see him interviewing top successful people, it makes me wonder. Freaking confusing.

    Mental masturbation is no longer satisfying

    INTRO 
    HI @Btcorona Welcome. Bottom line --> F*ck the overthinking & constant research & reading (you will have an idea when you start reading similar ideas coming full turnkey in different books. I am an avid reader, but it wasn't until I started executing that I learned quick.

    Taco Defy - Innovative way to solve the long fast food car queues!

    EXECUTION 
    Do you think it has significantly reduced the % of potential customers' who would otherwise take a pass due to long queues? Sometimes, admittedly, I wonder whether these types of solutions just speed up sales as opposed to increase them.

    Think I had my FTE

    MINDSET 
    I know the feeling. I hate the feeling too. Wish I knew about TFF in 2010 when I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad & instead started businesses then that were nowhere close to CENTS.

    Problem with my parents

    "just stress testing the person's resolve." --> I like this, it is so true. My folks (btw, they're great parents' & always did their best & provided more than I could have asked for), especially my mum, are typical slow-laners. They have these mysterious 'respect' for 'business people' in the...

    Does anyone have experience with b2b lead gen tools?

    MARKETING 
    HI guys, I am very new to Lead Generation tools. I see you have mentioned quite a few - How do these work, do you input criteria for businesses you want to 'attack' & the tools qualifies them & outputs the close as possible leads with the contact info suited to your business needs?

    Starting a local lead gen project

    EXECUTION 
    I'm curious, how much lead gen can I do without entering the realm of paid ads (ie. Google ADS) I've tried Google ADS before, the cost ramps up very fast, and I'm unsure how long I need to stay there until I start getting proper conversions.

    I did it!

    MINDSET 
    Out of curiosity, why didn't you give it a proper shot since joining the forum over 10 yrs ago? What stagnated or prohibited you?

    Debunk Money and Success Myths and Thrive in the Fastlane

    MINDSET MARKETPLACE 
    Well, I only read Non fiction, 90% of which relates to business and/or self improvement. So my reason is to get better, improve my life & to be more aligned with my life purpose. I read books to learn that which I don't know & to execute in life. I'm now at a point where I see repeat concepts...

    Debunk Money and Success Myths and Thrive in the Fastlane

    MINDSET MARKETPLACE 
    These days, especially after reading all 3 of MJs books, I find that I have read enough books, reading more than enough online, & even through executing on many different types of businesses (which taught me that the challenge lies in executing), that reading another book (there are so many...

    Quit $450k job to go fastlane: smart or not?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm a bit confused on the 2 sided views here on what this guy did. A decision to leave any job & take away one's income is based largely on personal circumstances. Personally, my available runway would help me decide whether to resign to pursue my goals fulltime. In 2020 I resigned with an 8...

    SEO + SaaS = Trust the process?

    HOT! MARKETING MINDSET EXECUTION 
    This is really interesting. Is your marketing strategy (of content creation & publishing) at all related to the SAAS product you want to offer later?
