    What differentiates a business person from everybody else

    MINDSET 
    Not denying everything above, but I would add my take that always causes argument. Business people are internally very altruistic even if they do not understand it. An average person on the job thinks about themselves first and about their employer`s needs second and only under threat of...

    An antidote to manager frustration - an anti-todo list

    MINDSET 
    In his book "High output management" Andrew Grove (former CEO of Intel) wrote a phrase that stuck with me: "A manager`s work is never done". What he ment is that whenever manager is working, he or she is in a constant flux of never ending tasks. Manager gathers info, manager controls and manager...

    Dubai: what’s your opinion?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I can drop some insight from our side of the desert. I live in Israel and some years ago we normalized ties to UAE during Trump`s first term. When Suez was blocked for several days in 2021 by that big-a$$ container carrier, we here started hearing the news of two major projects going on: 1. A...

    Decreasing margins - subconscious entrepreneur fear

    MINDSET 
    You got it a bit wrong here, I am talking about earlier stages Say you start a cleaning business and you clean entrances for residential buildings. Your costs are negligible and almost all the income goest to profit. Say you are good, the word spreads and customers for a queue. But you know...

    Decreasing margins - subconscious entrepreneur fear

    MINDSET 
    Recently realised an interesting thing I believe I never saw written. And yet, it might be the thing that caps the business development of many beginners. So, most of us started as employees after school. And I believe in the US it might be a little different but where I am from - as an...

    How to find your TRUE niche?

    MINDSET 
    Hello, there! I`ve had this thought for ages and never felt comfortable expressing it because for many people it will definitely sound as trampling on their dreams. And since it comes to me almost daily from reading all the post from aspiring wantapreneurs and struggling entrepreneurs (not...

    For Fastlaners making more than 30k/mo, why do you want to make more money?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I am not there yet, my income by April after I stabilize after my recent scaling step will be around 15-20 thousand. But for myself I know that I won`t stop there or on any number whatsoever. That is because I treat what I do as basically a life mission. What does it mean "I made 15000 this...

    Keeping your employees happy

    IDEA 
    Hi all I wanted to discuss here some strategies related to employee retention. In my field (rope access work) it is the most important thing because people are highly skilled, they go through the mill while learning and are almost by default entrepreneurial and easy to jump ship. So I knew...

    Idea sharing?

    IDEA MINDSET QUESTION 
    In my experience a good idea is something you want and can share as wide as possible in the most detail, but you are constantly frustrated because no one share your view. In more plain terms, ideas are worthless without execution. Every person, who is here for as long as a month or two, can...

    I failed the last 22 years to build a side business, I’ve had enough 2026 is the year I change all that

    SIDE HUSTLE MINDSET EXECUTION 
    A better way might be to ask what they want and then to see if you can offer that. At least it is a much faster way. Everyone have problems. Sometimes problems are common. If you can find such common problem that you can solve with your skill-set - that is the first step to Fastlane.

    I failed the last 22 years to build a side business, I’ve had enough 2026 is the year I change all that

    SIDE HUSTLE MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Hi Sometimes when people post what they percieve as their manifesto we here like to play a little game. To count the number of times topicstarter used prepositions like "I", "me" etc as opposed to times when person speaks about others` problems, about clients, partners etc. There is an...

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks, means a lot :-) And funny to see how my perspective evolved from being all over the place to singular focus. Right now I am sitting with my cup of evening tea and refine my complex Excel table that freed me like 10 hours weekly on accounting and client reports. Life is good

    What stage are you at on the 4 stages of competence?

    MINDSET 
    As it frankly should be. Every day I wake up and ask myself one simple question: "What does not allow me to earn $1 bil every day starting today?" And the answer is ALWAYS some skill I do not possess. We are always caped in our business by the skills we do not have yet. So if I ever feel too...

    Study local culture to increase sales?

    MARKETING 
    Someone wise once said (I believe, even in MJ`s book, but hell if I remember in which and where): "I saw where everyone was going and went the opposite way" My company does rope access in Israel. In this field you almost inevitably end up in one of two places - either cleaning windows or...

    EXECUTION 
    A little bit late, but 2025 is finally over and some reviewing is at hand. Eventually, I crossed slightly $250 thousand in revenue mark. December was 40% larger than January so I see it as a steady growth. In early January 2026 we expanded twofold, so I expect at the very least $500k this year...
