    SEO + SaaS = Trust the process?

    HOT! MARKETING MINDSET EXECUTION 
    You mentioned earlier your site is a "service for professionals. That's why we have the up and downs during the week. People search for it more on weekdays and less on weekends." So are these services coming from service providers? Why are you not making money from the value creation here? How...

    Worst investment you ever made?

    IDEA 
    Hi Jae, I can almost hear the frustration in your text. Ag, it's definitely never to late to have a better tomorrow. Look, re the 4 year degree thing, I myself do have a 4 year degree, it's in engineering (& a few other post grad certifications etc over the years). Honestly, it has helped me...

    How do you know when to 'Give Up'?

    EXECUTION 
    An interesting view. To your point below, how do you know when your limit of money/education/self development is reached? For me: * Education - I feel I have read more than enough now, what's left is pure execution and pivoting as I go with executions teachings. * Self development - I doubt we...

    How do you know when to 'Give Up'?

    EXECUTION 
    So no, it's not at all about difficulty. I'm a strong & very persistent person. I don't even care about lonely roads, I've been on one for many years. It's more along the lines of whether I've done or executed enough (& correctly) to then be left with the decision to change my road. It's also...

    BEST WAY TO FIND FASTLANE IDEAS?

    IDEA 
    Ideas (specifically CENTS ideas) tend to come via experience & pivots. Being 17, you have a lot more time to execute (not that older people don't - just that as we get older we also want other things that may take away time) I have owned 4-5 commodity businesses which at the time was not...

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    GURUS 
    Honestly, I always saw him as one of those Fake Gurus, Paradox of Practice nonsense. I really don't know how he is making so much money, if he is.

    How do you know when to 'Give Up'?

    EXECUTION 
    By 'Give Up', I mean, to pivot OR change the road! In everything I've learned & executed to date, I sometimes find myself in a predicament of a tug of war between my internal gut telling me to KEEP GOING or push on AND, in the words of Kevin Leary, --> 'take it behind the barn & shoot it. I...

    Starting a Mobile Car Detailing Business

    EXECUTION INTRO 
    I think everyone's FTE moment is the seed driver to continuous pivotal growth. My attitude toward freedom comes from a point of EXECUTION. It matters less what you do, and more about just doing it. I own a SAAS mobile platform/marketplace operating in South Africa & Mauritius currently, we...

    How is daily life ie. gf, bf, hubby, wife, family, day job, challenging your journey to TMF?

    PEOPLE 
    @door123 Your wife seems fully vested in the FL business too. I find that if your partner FULLY gets it, it's a huge help. Question is, we all don't fully have that partner, so what then?!

    What Did Your Beginning Look Like?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    For me, the beginning is most certainly messy. Each setback feels like a new beginning. I'm not going to lie, it's exhausting, frustrating & lonely. My journey in a nutshell: As kid - I always wanted to be rich (hearing my folks go on about money hurt me but gave me a chip on my shoulder) I...

    How the 'type' of business influences its success

    All other factors aside, how effective can the 'type' of startup business be? (some start ups seem to have the propensity to be more successful than others). Locally I see a handful of tech businesses offering various everyday services that makes the customers' life easier. Essentially they all...
