    Lol. What does this mean? He was ejected for bad behaviour? Or you beat him? Or something else?

    Interesting. Part of my point is: Would my mother-in-law want to make a cup of tea for a robot? Would our dog want to go for a walk with a robot rather than me? Would the kids and their parents prefer it if their coach was a human whose feet were also wet on the sidelines? Who laughed...

    I coach an U17 football team. I've been coaching the same team for at least a couple of years. It's hard work: 20 kids, all different personalities, all different backstories, all different strengths, weaknesses, worries. I'm physically out there 2 or 3 times a week, setting up cones, doing...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I think it's less about what people want, and more about what they're spending money on (or want to spend money on). There's loads of people who want stuff but don't want to pay for it, or don't want it enough to pay for it. When we run Google Ads for local service businesses, the first thing...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    1) Stop saying you're a hopeless case. Or undeserving. 2) Figure out where the cash is flowing. From who to who? How? How are others getting in front of your market (the people already spending money)? Don't just think of direct competitors. Sometimes others will have an interest in you...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    You keep saying you're poor at marketing. I think you misunderstand what marketing is. It's not trying to push your product onto people. It's finding what people want to buy, and how to get in front of them so they hand you the money instead of someone else. Think of your market as the...

    What's the line? "Most people spend most of their time doing something they hate, to buy stuff they don't need, to impress people they don't know. "

    I see WisprFlow is starting to transcribe meetings too. I was wondering about keeping meetings private, or encrypted in the cloud. I don't want them feeding someone's AI. What are the simple alternatives to an Android and Windows user? Are there cloud ones? Can we record phone calls if we...

    Copying the front end of somebody's website or app is like copying the tip of the iceberg. What data do they have about their customers or free users? How are they using that data to improve the user experience, make the product more sticky, and add more features that those paying customers...

    Shall I create a Master CHAT thread for agency owners? I could link to this thread from in there, and other useful threads in the opening post.

    EXECUTION 
    Think about what you spend money on @MTF, that the average person doesn't. Are there things loads of things other people also spend money on?

    This is why I prefer they pay a flat monthly fee. They either think it's worth it or they don't.

    EXECUTION 
    Consider running the marketing for local service businesses then? You can do it on your own schedule, from a computer, anywhere. I like Google Ads because, if they work for a client, then they can run mostly unchanged for years and the client still pays you to monitor and slightly change things...

    That's a bit like saying, "I want to start a business, but so many businesses fail." IMO, the fact that you're worried about all the bad influences means you'll make a great parent.

    Meanwhile, I refunded someone this morning because the campaigns weren't working for him and he sent a stroppy note about expecting 10/10 effort and it seeming we only put in 0. He got an agency to audit the account and their report was sooo bad. Apparently we've only spent GBP39 in the month...

    EXECUTION 
    I like setting up the accounts, maybe dialling them in, and then they either churn or they stay for months/years paying 300-500+/mth Facebook seems more hands on.
