    What Is Your ONE THING?

    MINDSET 
    Right! And it goes with everything... Saying no to a job or a project that you really can't take on (saying yes might hurt your brand or reputation) Saying no to a family member who is just trying to steal/suck your time (my extended family is very needy, I hope they don't join the forum and...

    What Is Your ONE THING?

    MINDSET 
    For me it's SALES. When I sell, it means I helped a customer, that helps the business, helps the cashflow, helps my family, helps me.

    What Is Your ONE THING?

    Totally agree! I'm no millionaire yet, but I have had a successful career. And I have found that saying "no" can be one of the most beneficial tools in the belt!

    Taking debt for business...good or bad move to scale?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Yes, Admin is definitely at the top of the list. I made a list of the tasks that I would like to outsource or delegate in an ideal situation, and I basically broke those down into items that could be solved with contractors, software, or a certain type of hire. The result was an admin and a...

    It's time to right the ship for good

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you are on the right track so I'm not sure if this is helpful or not but figured I would share... Someone told me this once a long time ago when I was in a very dark place also. "You will respect yourself (as will other people) so much more once you rise...

    Taking debt for business...good or bad move to scale?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION QUESTION 
    In the past my service businesses have been a poor model...sell the work, do the work, get paid, have a lull in work because I was doing instead of selling, sell more work, repeat. They were jobs, not businesses so I'm trying to break that mold. I need to scale my General Contracting business...

    New Guy: already entrepreneur but new to Fastlane

    INTRO 
    Hey no problem. I'm glad my post resonated. I'm just so despised with the scripted rat race nonsense at this point in my life that I just can't go back to it. I have had multiple good 6 figure job offers w/ benefits since I left my old company, and it just isn't the right move for me. No...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Couldn't sleep last night so finally read the entire thread, very impressive work, you definitely hustle. I have a few questions if you don't mind... How are you handling truck maintenance? (Send them to a shop, maintain/fix them yourself, etc) If you're looking for deals on used trucks do...

    I'm cheating on my business...

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Figured I would post an update for you guys that chimed in here... @Antifragile I put some thought into it and decided to take your advice. I let go of my other ideas for now and spent this entire past week focusing on just my Construction Management business. Only 5 days into this practice...

    How do I stop changing subjects?

    MINDSET 
    I was doing a lot of the same thing recently. With some push from members on the forum and my own career coach I realized how important it is to focus on one thing/business. It helped me to look at it from this perspective: I put all my time and attention into this one thing. I'm going to...

    I'm cheating on my business...

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    First of all, thank you. Sincerely. Your input is appreciated and provides a helpful perspective. Let me clarify the time and the HR thing. I don't think business is or will be easy, I'm not naive to that. I'm not afraid of scaling up, in fact I desperately want that. My work ethic is one...

    14 y/o wanna-be-highschool(9th grade)- dropout.

    HOT! INTRO 
    I think you're looking at school the wrong way. I agree that modern schooling is very scripted and it doesn't always have a lot to offer for someone who has a bigger picture, like yourself. But take school for what it is, and adjust your perspective on it. Go into the day and your classes...

    Honest question, I'm not trolling you here...if M.J. or one of the other guys you look up to told you to stay in school would you fight them on it?

    I'm cheating on my business...

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Does your friend want to have a phone call with someone just starting out? Lol I'll admit, part of my fear here is the contractors I know or have worked for in the past. They are all old school and slowlane. Yes, I'm doing it different but it gives me hesitation when I see people still time...

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I currently own a Construction Management company. The company has adapted in it’s own way to be part Construction Management/General Contracting, part consultant, part broker. I have a pretty good customer niche. I have what I think to be some pretty good value skews. 1) I have a huge emphasis...
