    Cold emailing is f*cking annoying from the business owners POV

    ASSERTION 
    If I wanted to hire somebody, I'd firstly seek them out. Secondly, the vast majority of the spam emails I receive are written with broken English. If they can't be bothered to clean up their grammar, I don't want to do business with them.

    MARKETING 
    In regards to getting your product in front of people, it's simple. But business isnt about getting people to see your product. The end goal is always to maximise your bottom line. If you can't do this, you don't have a business-- you have a charity. Here's some insights from my experiences...

    Good luck is something you make; bad luck is something you endure.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Very good read, I've marked as "Gold" This resonated with me and made me assess my thoughts within the last few weeks. After picking up a Tony Robbins' book, I scrolled through some reviews on Amazon. Came across a lady who read it, and within ONE year started her own business and accumulated...

    Well, one thing ill advise is this: Stay away from Europe unless you want to be stabbed by an unvetted migrant. Most of the classiest European cities are now dumping grounds.

    Building a Clothing Brand at 19 - B R E A T H E

    EXECUTION 
    This. We talk about value skew and its importance. All of a sudden, a brand name is a value skew. Moreover, does the world really need a new clothing company with no discernible skew? We're in an echo chamber full of entrepreneurs. The vast majority of people don't care about supporting a...

    Building a Clothing Brand at 19 - B R E A T H E

    EXECUTION 
    I'd beg to differ. I really hate to sound like a Debbie-Downer, but brands like this pop up on my feed almost everyday. As a matter of fact, I'd put clothing companies right up there with dropshipping. Unless you really gain traction, you're just another brand, importing from China and slapping...

    Building a Clothing Brand at 19 - B R E A T H E

    EXECUTION 
    I know people are disagreeing, but I tend to agree. People with money will drift toward Gucci or whatever, because it's an established brand that shows you're "rich" People with average income will drift toward "acceptable" brands, Nike, Gym Shark ETC People on a budget will go to Walmart...

    Automation Help with Zapier+Google Docs/Sheets

    QUESTION 
    So I'm using Zapier to populate a Google Doc template. Zapier fetches information from a Google Sheet, and then adds the information into my Google Doc, replacing my placeholders. I managed to get this working great, and the text gets carried over and formatted within my template perfectly...

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    It's like young people have a hard-on for rushing things and then burning out. I can't count how many people I know that rushed into having kids, when they're barely old enough to drink in the US. And best of all, they still can't kick their chronic pot habit. Then there's the subject of...

    Anyone using Zapier? What cool Zaps have you setup?

    Couldn't figure out how to use Zapier last night, so I made use of my day off work today. I'm trying to populate a Google Doc template with data pulled from a Google Spreadsheet. What I thought would be a 45 minute task turned into hours... Turns out, I wasn't phrasing the template...

    New to Fastlane: Feedback on My Home Services App

    INTRO 
    Absolutely love the idea. As for the revenue model, I don't know. I used a similar service very recently, and I got the dude's phone number, and paid in cash. How will you prevent people double crossing you by moving communication elsewhere? This is probably the core reason Thumbtack charges...

    Struggling to Stay Consistent with Workouts – Looking for Advice

    HEALTH 
    There's no advice anybody can give to make you want to go to the gym. It's simple discipline. Trust me, 99% of the time I don't want to go, but I go anyway. It pays dividends when I'm in public with my girl, and I feel like I'm going to explode out of my shirt! LOL In saying that- a few...
