My critique on the commandment of entry
Misinterpreting True Barriers to Entry You are reducing the value of Barriers to Entry by only looking at particular situations/examples where barriers to entry are not in play. In most businesses, TRUE barriers to entry are hard to create, if possible at all (due to economic forces needed for...- jcvlds

Stay at Home dad: mission be great father/husband and create fastlane business
I see. Good point. Just to add though. I feel that by you actively looking for products to sell, you were thinking about the customers (the market). Whereas just practicing copywriting, while valuable and necessary to do so, in my mind can be viewed as passive. He wouldn’t be talking to...- jcvlds

Stay at Home dad: mission be great father/husband and create fastlane business
The “market” will never just ‘reveal’ itself.. as if by magic.. But maybe I’m not understanding what you’re saying.. what do you mean it will reveal itself just because you practice copywriting daily? How would it reveal itself? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- jcvlds

Having these topics, look for books, blogs, forums, podcasts, etc that...- jcvlds

Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)
GOLD! HOT! EXECUTIONAwesome insight, thanks for this specific detail. Which form of competitive advantage (ie operate at lower cost vs competitors, or command a price premium, or perhaps both) did you decide to go after, and why?

Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)
GOLD! HOT! EXECUTIONHey @458 Still have some questions on this, thanks a lot for expanding on this. When you’re listing out the companies in your niche (competitors) to do some estimates on industry market cap, are you only listing out the ones in your geographical area that you are serving? Essentially, finding...- jcvlds

You’re not selling wholesale?
NOTABLE!Great point. Have to balance the act of not annoying your key client accounts, with keeping a sharp eye on your monthly cashflows.. cash reserves can help cushion when your customers pay late but you still need to pay your vendors. A business could be profitable on the P&L yet crumble because...- jcvlds

5 seconds to validate your idea
HOT! IDEAHey Greg, I think every product and every market will be different as to how quickly or easily you can ‘validate’ it. For your physical product, is your target buyer different than the end user of the product? What’s the problem the product solves? I think it’s hard to really find a viable...- jcvlds

5 seconds to validate your idea
HOT! IDEAThe way I think about it, Scot’s initial post was more geared towards validating the total addressable market, then estimating a realistic serviceable market, and finally your obtainable market that you could win. Validating in this sense, to me, means more so ensuring that the market...- jcvlds

A new marketing tool I'm using with ridiculous ROI
GOLD! MARKETINGGonna try this out. Are you using on already contacted prospects? Or completely cold? Is there a resource or tool for us to verify the phone numbers before we attempt, so as to not waste calls on inaccurate phone number from our list source. Thanks!

Quit now, get a job, and why bother. Everything is luck.
MINDSET RANTWhy stop your data analysis mid-way and prematurely determine that it's just not worth "trying" because out of the millions of people trying the same as you, you are not likely to be the one outlier at the very top? Why stop, and say, they were the outliers due to sheer luck and NOTHING else...- jcvlds
