    Offline Business Ideas. Is Online Business Oversaturated?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Honest question - while I see a ton of opportunity for offline business, I don't see very many that could qualify as "Fastlane" - most still require knowledge in that area, need capital, have a limited reach, and mostly turn into selling your time for money. Some may make decent money, but it's...

    How many Business Failures did you have before success?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    In my case, they definitely highlighted the difference between a business and just a side gig/hustle. Some lessons learned along the way for sure, many of which were what "not" to do, but lessons none the less. I'm sure there are more failures of various magnitudes in my future as well, but so...

    How many Business Failures did you have before success?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    If "failure" is making some kind of profit when all is said and done, I've had side gigs that brought in money - some that resulted in spending way more than I earned in an attempt to keep them going (although spending on things I enjoyed, so there's that), but my current business is the first...

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    I had mini-FTE's that would launch me off into some random side hustle or gig, but none that had potential to really change my life, just a momentary slight (very slight most of the time) improvement in my situation. My "real" FTE was in the middle of the covid pandemic, when a company I had...

    Remote Work - Morally Wrong??

    IDEA 
    I work remote, and I am designing my business to be remote. For knowledge based jobs where the outcome is the most important thing, I could care less what chair someone is keeping warm. If they work best from a beach in the Mediterranean, fine by me so long as they are accomplishing what needs...

    Midwest "farm" girl to.....??

    MINDSET SCALING EXECUTION 
    Project/Program management with a focus on the management of strategic implementation (not the development of said strategic plans - plenty of firms that do that out there, but the actual "let's see this executed" part of it). Good thing is my experience shows there is a need, bad thing is this...

    Midwest "farm" girl to.....??

    MINDSET SCALING EXECUTION 
    Figured I'd start a thread here to share where I've been, where I'm going, and my journey along the way. I'm a VERY long ways from "there" at this point, but for the first time in my 40+ years, am confident I'm on the right track. I grew up a poor Midwest overgrown-hobby-farm girl, raising our...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    That's exactly what I've been doing :) Got my business set up last year, landed my first client at the very end of the year, that is going well; working on growth and expansion. Not explosive, but life altering for me even at this point. At a point still have the day job, which may stick around...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Maybe because I'm already in my mid 40's and don't have that kind of time? For most of my life fell for the scripted regime, and what everyone in my world said, what all the"advice" out there says.... advantages are that there's an extra level of determination, and I've lived some life and done...

    The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.

    HOT! CHAT 
    Right now just trying not to lose my sanity with my life-long dream dog puppy LOL. Just over a month ago picked up my European Doberman and future Schutzhund, hiking, travel, running, etc buddy. He's everything I expected, although my brain and body are still adapting to the new reality LOL...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    My main purpose is freedom, but that is a multilayered statement. It involves freedom to set my schedule, work when and where I want, how I want. Freedom and finances to enjoy the things I love to do, and the time to do so. Freedom to find a great retirement place for my mother and be able to...

    How did MJ pay rent while building his business?

    INTRO 
    My business is fairly new to producing income (first 12-month contract started in January), but much of last year I was preparing and setting things up to get rolling and then finding that first client. Next up is growth. I still have my day job, and most of last year I had a day job plus 1-2...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted today. First half of the book was putting into better words and more clear ideas things I pretty much know to be true, but always feel like a "conspiracy theorist" if I say that outloud to other people who are so intwined with the Scripted life it's sad sometimes...

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Of course there are things I did learn and can learn - I'm in my mid 40's, and more successful than my mother by a fair bit, will be more successful than my father even if I just keep on my current line and don't keep on improving (which isn't an option for me). When it comes to money, making...

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    First thing I'd tell my 18 year old self - "everything you think you know about money, earning money, enjoying life, and living the life you want is WRONG and your parents are going to purposefully hold you back to their standards - DO NOT LISTEN TO THEIR LIFE, CAREER, OR MONEY ADVICE." After...

    Curious for those into nutrition / bodybuilding

    MARKETING HEALTH 
    I've been using the 1st Phorm products. I know not everyone loves them, and I've seen some people go on rants, but for me, they've worked great, and I've not had any complaints (which, if I did, I have full confidence would be dealt with well and quickly).

    Curious for those into nutrition / bodybuilding

    MARKETING HEALTH 
    I spend a fair bit on supplements - while I eat healthy in general, I find supplements help fill in a lot of the holes created through life, training, etc. Personally I've found a company who I'm happy with - I was first introduced by a friend who liked and vouched for them. Tried the products...

    Nearly 50. Still learning. Persistently self-sabotaging.

    INTRO 
    I'm a very - very - long ways from getting where I envision my life, however, if there's one thing I've learned at this point it's that small daily touches in the right direction will trump massive attempts that flare and fade. Sometimes there will be a massive leap, but if you've been doing the...

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    My first sale was pretty recent. Working on finding that second one. As a new consultancy, there's a struggle to find the work plus balance that with availability, but I'll figure some of that out as I go. Right now the current contract is for the entirety of this year, likely to renew for 2-3...
