FUNNYThanks for featuring my post MJ! Spot on. And yet people like this would have us all live in a world where we need to grovel to the ordained and seek their permission to do absolutely anything. So long as the ordained keep the playpen stocked full of entertainment and booze. Terrifying...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONThe marketing strategy that worked brilliantly (but also didn't work at all) So. We bought all the inbound marketing hype, hook line and sinker. One to many marketing! Cold calling is dead! Why sell one to one when you can gather 50 people on a webinar and sell all of them at once? Get this -...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONThank you @Andy Black - and also for the rep. Let me know if I'm veering too far into story-telling mode and skirting around the actionable insights. :) This isn't necessarily going to be in chronological order from here on in. I'll talk about a different element in each post.- Contrarian

FUNNYIn one sense, it is true that the system is rigged. But it's certainly not because of "muh capitalism!!!!11111" Even though I grew up on a council estate (or what I think you would call the projects in the US), I never thought I was owed anything, or that someone else should give me their "fair...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONWhat exactly were we selling, anyway? So let's talk about the product for a moment. If you're not familiar with the recruitment industry, the vast majority of recruitment agencies operate on a "no-win, no-fee" basis. We don't place, you don't pay. In short, they sell maybe. Let us work on...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONThank you all for your kind words. And thank you for the rep @Vigilante. @MJ DeMarco - you tease me! I've read through the first five chapters of UNSCRIPTED more times than I'd like to admit. Goes well with Someday playing in the background. One month to go! :clench: I would like to make more...- Contrarian

22yrs, never been so depressed, want to change things.
INTROI hesitated to comment on this because it's such a personal matter, and I'm not sure I'm qualified to help beyond sharing meaningless platitudes. So what I will do is share my experience, and see if I can apply it to your situation. I had a miserable childhood. Truly miserable. Stuff I don't...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONThe first mistake... This is hard for me to write about. Not because I fear admitting failure. I've always been very open about admitting my failures. Also equally protective of my successes, and contemptful of those who think they were down to "luck" or that the fruits of my successes should...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONI've been away from the forum for a while. You may or may not remember me. Either way, that's not important. I first came here two and a half years ago, a few months after reading TMF. The book that changed my life forever, although not as quickly or as much as I would have liked - for reasons...- Contrarian

Quote of the Day - QOTD
HOT! MINDSET"Whatever the price, identify it now. What will you have to go through to get where you want to be? There is a price you can pay to be free of the situation once and for all. It may be a fantastic price or a tiny one -- but there is a price." - Harry Browne- Contrarian

AndyTalks with @Contrarian about starting his side hustle in local lead gen
HOT! MARKETINGWe've all been there. Doing something sub-optimal is better than doing nothing. It's easier to adjust when you already have something in motion. The company I'll be doing sales for started as a hobby blog. It's now a seven figure B2B content marketing & native advertising company. Now they're...- Contrarian

AndyTalks with @Contrarian about starting his side hustle in local lead gen
HOT! MARKETINGGlad you enjoyed it @Nicoknowsbest! I did make a few calls before I built anything, but more to suss out the economics of it than anything else. How much is a new client worth to you? How do you currently generate leads? How much does that cost? Etc. And how does that stack up against my cost...- Contrarian

AndyTalks with @Contrarian about starting his side hustle in local lead gen
HOT! MARKETINGThanks for having me Andy - it was a pleasure. And thanks again for the inspiration on the local lead gen model. :) Yes, I've been playing at the Fastlane for the past 15 months within a structure in which I don't (yet) have any ownership and will never fully control. Within a very complicated...- Contrarian

The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned
HOT! MARKETINGMy view, on the copy, is that it's too logical and not emotional enough. Further, it doesn't really have a specific point to make. So I click on to the website, "hmm, I wonder what this is all about then...", scroll down to the wall of text telling me what it's about, and... A long, confusing...- Contrarian

Are you ok with screwing people over?
MINDSET RANTI believe in practising what you preach, but assuming his stuff works, I don't see how he's screwing anyone over. Knowing something and living it are two different things. I see people in far better shape than me in the gym doing moronic exercises in the gym practically every day. Besides, I...- Contrarian
