    From Drop-shipping Wantrepreneur to Fastlane

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Update: Logged into the Shopify account from my dropshipping operation and everything is saved and still synced up. Website DONE. Now all I need to do is change out the products and update the copy, and then start promoting the crap out of it. Huge thank you to @HackVenture for making me...

    Thanks Thomas, Yeah I just couldn't focus last night and hit a low. I think it was exhaustion, things are better now!

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Okay, so from a bit of research about my payment gateway thing, I won't be able to get a direct gateway without paying $30 setup, and $25 per month after that. It really grinds my gears, but I think I'll put together a Shopify store now, and the WooCommerce can come later. I'll use PayPal (I'm...

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Hey Hack, The reason I chose to use Woocommerce is just the customizability, as well as trying to get a direct payment gateway. All South African gateways redirect customers to their websites to complete payment, and it doesn't happen in the store. Meaning my customers will put their details...

    Hyperrealities are TAKING OVER?

    Something popped up on an Instagram ad the other day, and it's really made me lose faith in humans with technology, but excites part of me, as well as confusing me with regard to it being a business opportunity or investment. So, there's a new platform coming around called Staramba, and it's a...

    Things are starting to get REAL! I just received all of my product, and I am beyond stoked!! It's a lot. (wtf was I thinking when I ordered 300.) Anyways, I'm confident I'll be able to move at least 50 of these. (my BE point) My 10X goal is to sell 3000 this year, and my monthly goal is to...

    Irish filmmaker and now a fastlane student

    INTRO 
    Hey Bert! I'm a passionate filmmaker myself, although by no means a professional. I think that education is HUGE in this niche, especially with the current trend of "Content Creators". (Just search Sam Kolder on YouTube) I was in a webinar the other day by Parker Walbeck for his "Fulltime...

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Thanks Hack! Yeah, I did dropship for a while, and have since invested the money into the product being private labelled. The issue is that I'll be travelling for the foreseeable future, which wasn't the plan when I ordered the product, but it's an opportunity I can't pass up. It might not be...

    A Story of Rapid Execution

    EXECUTION 
    Haha, no, I'm just a mind reader ;) Truth is I'd just reread MJ's thread on improving your life in 30 days (I think that's the name) where you gave away all your rep, and it was still fresh in my mind. I also actively track my Kaizen every day, so huge part of me. I think I'm going to dive...

    No ways! So sick to see other South Africans on here! Aren't we a patriotic bunch?? I've never struggled with it. I used paypal for my dropshipping site and had no issues. You just have to bring the money back into the country through FNB within 30 days else it's considered money laundering...

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Nailed today's work. I fell in love with Airtable, and I've set up a productivity system (inspired by @HackVenture) to manage my tasks and to dos, as well as adding my financials to it, and my profit projections & break even analysis. These aren't done as well as they could be, as they still...

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    I really hope my continual posting/brain-dumping isn't an issue here, but I love tracking my progress, and I get a push from the fact that people can look at this any time, it kinda makes me feel more accountable for my actions. Mods please feel free to edit this thread or something if it's too...

    A Story of Rapid Execution

    EXECUTION 
    This sounds insane! I love the idea of it, and how it touches on the Kaizen principle of improving yourself every day. I have to ask how you culminated all of your skills? I love your erratic, all over the place style, and you seem to be crazy into all things online marketing!

    Achieve Laser FOCUS + PRODUCTIVITY With The System Legendary Fastlaners Use...

    GOLD! 
    Thank you @HackVenture for the suggestion! This looks insane! I tried GSD/Trello a while back, think I might revisit the system using Airtable with the amount of time I'm spending on my laptop now.

    Remember when MJ said that the market mind will speak and you should listen? The craziest thing just happened. When I was back in the drop shipping days, I sent one of my products to an influencer in the space in return for promos/review. He is a VERY unbiased and blunt influencer, which I...

    So I called some fulfilment services today, the one wouldn't accept me because I had no customers in the country yet, but one did, which I'm super stoked on. Disclaimer: All dollar values are rough conversions from my currency. They charge a fixed monthly fee of ~$20 per cubic meter of product...

    Branding so good that it's stupid?

    MARKETING 
    Bad or Genius? The guy who started ASSC had worked in Stussy for "nearly a decade". 10 years of a job. I heard in a video about him that it was 12 years, but that doesn't sound right. Anyways, that's a lot of industry knowledge, and he was in the marketing department. This is what I picked...

    Hey fastlane fam! My account is brand new, but I've been around for a while, surfing through various threads and action-faking for the last year or so. Finally I've made the decision to actually start posting, and documenting my journey towards the fast lane. So who am I? Just a 19 Year old...
