    Is this a good fastlane idea?

    IDEA 
    You'd probably have to go down the course route. Organise a lot of crucial information behind a pay wall, or even start a YouTube channel. Your first business doesn't need to adhere to every aspect of CENTS. In saying that, I'm not sure if there's a MAJOR demand for this. A lot of this stuff...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I read TMF & Unscripted first, but I was more engaged with the fictional aspect of the book. I liked the concept, if the principles were more weaved into the fictional aspect, I felt it could have been even better. I'm looking forward to your future work in the...

    Retention of knowledge

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    Take what stands out and apply it. You don't need to religiously study the same book over & over.

    Keep researching or start executing?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Your competitor has the sole advantage because he has been "doing" it for the past year you've been researching. Having knowledge & applying knowledge are vastly different concepts. Moreover, the field of business demands much more than extraordinary knowledge around a particular niche...

    Time to pivot or adjust?

    FEEDBACK 
    Thank you all for the responses. I'm making an action plan based on all your feedback. • Design improved exterior & interior • Keep my current product on the market in the meantime • Look into using Google Apps Script to save me the time of manually formatting each book by copy + pasting each...

    Time to pivot or adjust?

    FEEDBACK 
    That's an idea I will incorporate. But firstly, the product needs a higher quality appearance with 3 different variations. I originally launched this business to gather marker validation. The main product is an MVP. Like most people said, the market demands the idea, not the execution. Heck, I...

    Time to pivot or adjust?

    FEEDBACK 
    Thanks MJ. You alluded to this in my previous post & I should have put this as my #1 task. I'll format the entire interior and get a better quality cover/book. It does NEED to be perfect. And yeah, Control is very compromised. However, I plan to fix this with by scaling in the future. Heck, I...

    Time to pivot or adjust?

    FEEDBACK 
    Okay, so about a month ago I launched my business after 3 months of development. My overhead per month is roughly about €70 (Squarespace + Custom Form App) this doesn't include advertising spend (more on that soon). I've made two sales worth €70, "netting" me about €30 after production. I've...

    YouTube Premium, worth the money?

    IDEA 
    Ads are obnoxious, but I'm not paying to avoid them. I have a good ad blocker on my phone. It might be "cheap" to have premium, but it's more the principal of it.
