    It's the story of a consultants life. Sometimes I love consulting. This stuff is why I also hate it. I think it's more that it looks odd. Spammy even.

    15-Sep-25 - I suggested they reduce the size of the ticks. 15-Dec-25 - The client finally made the change. THAT'S THREE MONTHS LATER. Performance after a couple of months of running both pages side by side: 8% click-to-quote-rate with big ticks. 12% click-to-quote-rate with small ticks...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    The comments are funny/disheartening to read. Lots of people arguing when they should be thinking or getting to work. I gave it 1 minute before bailing on the comments. Things are changing, and changing fast. I want my sons to be big into AI by the time they leave school and college. AI...

    I'm a bit worried at the lack of activity in some of the AI threads. Is it because people are lurking? Or do many of you feel AI is not worth your time, is too complicated or untrustworthy, or that you've already been left behind? Can you answer the poll and we'll see if there's a need for...

    Advice on Building an "AI Startup" from the founder of WP Engine

    - AI - 
    The bar being low just means the next bar gets higher. It's like when people say the barrier to entry is very low. All that means is more people start which then means the barrier is high to actually stand out amongst them. So if there's loads of garbage getting posted to the internet (or...

    Advice on Building an "AI Startup" from the founder of WP Engine

    - AI - 
    I'm not as uneasy about AI generated content. I think humans will congregate in communities more, and those who post more authentically will do well - even if it means they create AI that posts better. And may be folks won't care if AI posted so long as it's helpful. My little AI Andy...

    CHAT - AI - 
    I'm concerned at how few people post in this AI thread. Are many lurking? Or have many people not seen the power of AI yet or feel they've already been left behind? Maybe we should create a poll and find out where people are at adopting AI? What poll options should we have?

    The struggle of growing, do i keep going?

    SCALING QUESTION STORY 
    This is what Gemini told me: This post is a classic "Fastlane" dilemma. The user has a product-market fit (people are buying) but an economic engine problem (the math doesn't scale). Since they are posting on MJ DeMarco’s forum, they’re likely looking for the "CENTS" framework (Control, Entry...

    The struggle of growing, do i keep going?

    SCALING QUESTION STORY 
    I'd say it's a need for many businesses, and a monthly expense in many homes (look at the market for candles and those wax melted things). Can you sell the refills for that monthly fee, but let the clients install them and return empties in self addresses envelopes (or bin them)? Or maybe...

    Ah, I meant one hour of study and testing AI for no set goal. I'm already using AI throughout the day as part of my workflow, sounding board, and knocking up little Gems for myself. I'm so busy with the above (and showing people how to do the above) that I've not even started playing with...

    I hope they use AI to write better scripts than we've seen over the last decade... I don't care about fancier graphics. That's tiring now.

    Hey, you're back? How's it going and what have you been up to?

    STORY 
    Amazing how much of this research can be done for free without even dipping a toe into the market, or "building stuff". Another consideration is route to market. Can you get in front of people who'd want to buy what you'd sell?
