    Journey to $10k/mo and Beyond...

    EXECUTION 
    1. Yeah definitely don't use your primary domain for warmup or outreach 2. What can you do with 2 domains? Nowadays you need like 50-100 domains to get any sort of real lead flow from automated outbound email. Standard reply rate is 1000 prospects contacted to 1 interested lead. 3. You won't...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm in this exact industry. Cold email deliverability is in the toilet for everyone right now because Google and Outlook now use LLMs to boot your message to spam if it looks similar to other messages you've sent. This is the real problem; DNS records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC are child's play. I've...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    In the US, cold email is technically “illegal” unless you put your address, opt-out, and say that your message is an ad. Nobody does this and nobody gets in trouble. I only know of one person who actually went to jail for 4 years for cold email, but he was committing genuine fraud.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Wrong. There’s a special loophole for Americans only that lets them register a JDG on the same terms as Poles, without any visa. Using that JDG, Americans can get a TRC in Poland for business purposes. Source: I am an American doing exactly this in PL. It exists because there’s a reciprocal...

    Weekly Group Call for Agency Owners (Google Ads, Web design, etc.)

    MEETUPS 
    The downside would be that less people would show up if they knew it would be recorded, and people would also be less eager to share juicy information and details about their business.

    Theoretical vs Real Business Potential - What Can You Really Achieve?

    QUESTION 
    I hire sales reps from overseas and I’ve found the same. Another reason is that if the established / experienced person was truly amazing at what they do, they wouldn’t need more work. But here they are looking for jobs like yours. But with the new, inexperienced person, there’s a chance that...

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

    QUESTION 
    Loving PL so far - many things stand out about it, but for one, it's incredibly safe and peaceful compared to other European countries I've been to. As others have pointed out, many euro cities like Brussels and London have fallen and become less livable. It's not just media propoganda, here are...

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

    QUESTION 
    Curious why you say this about Poland @MJ DeMarco - is it just the low tax rate or other things you've heard? Context: I'm American but running my online business from Poland, taking advantage of a special rule that lets Americans freely open a sole prop business (the type MTF was talking...

    My SaaS progress thread. Need advice from you Fastlaners!

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Mercor.com and other platforms have made billions of dollars in staffing market places, so there's money to be made in the space for sure. Have you tried charging the employers per hire or a flat fee for using the platform? You're in Poland so can't you run this as a JDG for now and not have...

    Can I find business this way? Honest opinions pls

    PEOPLE EXECUTION QUESTION 
    If you're really young or in college then business owners actually will be willing to entertain that sort of conversation. When I was 20 and in college I reached out to tons of business owners as a college student interested in their industry, and many gave me the time of day to talk about...

    Would a people based timezone app make sense?

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    I use “Time Buddy”, it’s free and works just fine - I can add different time zones and easily visualize the differences. IMO it would be hard to generate revenue in this space when there are so many free options available

    I lived with 7 of my closest friends (all highly ambitious) from 18-22 and I live alone now, and I can say confidently that I much prefer living alone. I'm also 10 times more religious now than I was at 18. To respect the forum I won't get into detail about it, but I've found that the inner...
