    Hello, I'm Terrified of the Slow Lane

    INTRO 
    Great posts in here. What I'll add: Everything you're talking about (in order to change lanes) will require you to change fundamentally as a person. So even though you are asking for advice about how to change your thinking, understand that to get what you're after, you will change. If you...

    This idea is CENTS validated!!! Serious entrepreneurs, any comments?

    IDEA 
    My thoughts are that what Venmo formed as was the right approach, until they sold to PayPal of course. What I mean is that having payments transition into a social network. The more active you are (whether through paying different people and companies through the platform) the more the user...

    It's not who you know, it's who knows you. Your network = your networth. You have to be willing to look stupid in order to achieve greatness.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Saw that you referred to my post on your twitter too. Nice that it helped you see things in a different light, especially since that's what your talking head videos did for me (and presumably others). Another one of my favorites I forgot to mention was "tell people what to do", that message in...

    Hydrocarbons wholesaler business

    my point is try and avoid deals that involve crossing oceans or seas at this time. not impossible, but sticking domestically or at the very least land-accessible borders will provide less of a headache for whatever it is you are trying to do.

    Music Community Needs Help

    MARKETING 
    First thing that came to mind was the musicians selling their respective talent to one another. Idk anything about the music industry, but these days it's hard to find quality workers (whether just as labor or in desired skillets) Maybe see who needs an audio engineer that specializes in...

    How's my sales approach / strategy?

    MARKETING 
    Cold call. Cold email in my experience is a lot harder with regards to breaking through the noise. Assuming you aren't a nervous wreck when it comes to calling people out of the blue, all you need to do is ask them questions that a) show you can aid them somehow and b) try and get concrete...

    Hydrocarbons wholesaler business

    I'm in oil. Importing is a bitch right now. I'd suggest stick locally but you'll need to build a serious contact list with the top players which takes time.

    Why does MJ tell the truth? Lying would make him more money.

    HOT! 
    Easy to pile on the (likely) young and inexperienced, but we've all been there. Recall when I was first starting out in my niche for my business, I must have looked like a complete fool asking the most redundant questions to busy and important people who took time out of their day to talk to...

    How much should you follow up with potential prospects?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    You don't need a book man. You need to step to the plate, and take a million swings and learn along the way. You don't know how to inform or educate your prospects? Then why are you selling to them? When they give you money how do you expect to help their business? It's O.K. to not know...

    No, everything cannot be done "online" or remotely - but that spells opportunity for YOU!

    MINDSET RANT 
    My niche is in a field (energy) that is not terribly remote. Due to circumstances, I've built my business up while away. It's also true that I'm quite limited at getting certain tasks done and done right, and it's a personal preference to be outdoors than to be on a computer and the phone all...

    People listen to experts they follow leaders Help the people in motion you don't have to be an expert to name a few. I don't listen to podcasts, even if they are brief. Just not my cup of tea. Didn't realize you were building a website. Look forward to that.
