    Teaching Teens Entrepreneurship

    QUESTION 
    Unscripted would probably be great. I also imagine there are some great podcasts that they might find interesting. Like Simon Squibb, Alex Hormozi, Patrick David-Bet, and some of the Diary of a CEO episodes that focused on entrepreneurship.

    $100k/mo, but are business acquisitions distracting me?

    QUESTION 
    Interesting. Your story kind of reminds me of Alex Hormozi's path starting a business, selling it, and then acquiring other businesses and scaling them up. Alex does advise people below $10m in yearly revenue to focus on their one product, one channel, and one avatar, because it usually just...

    Documenting a Lifetime Journey working on a Youtube Podcast

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    No worries Dave. I appreciated your response either way. I agree that I can and should take steps to decommodify my podcast. One way to do that is to focus on a niche, such as entrepreneurship, and then niche down even further from there in terms of my style, guests I choose, questions I ask etc.

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    Wouldn't this depend on the nature of the solution? And of course the cost can't exceed the cost of just buying more mushrooms whenever they spoil. Whether the solution is re-usable or 1 time use, and how well it works to extend the mushroom's lifespan and keep them fresh etc. all matter for the...

    How to Protect Yourself from Fraud

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Text 2FA is much less secure than app 2FA e.g. Google Authenticator. So whenever you have an option, opt for application 2FA.

    Status games vs. Wealth creation games

    MINDSET 
    There are some zero-sum and finite games within the overall infinite and positive-sum game of business. Another example would be the stock market, where for one person to win, another has to lose. But I think there are always ways to succeed outside of those zero-sum games. For example, about...

    Status games vs. Wealth creation games

    MINDSET 
    @Kevin88660 Moving our discussion here to a new thread so we don't hijack Johnny's thread. Working with boomers to take over their businesses seems fine. I've heard of that strategy being a good idea for younger people because many boomers want to get out of businesses, and they own the...

    A great example of Fastlane success and value of time.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I remember playing Monopoly as a kid and getting bored with it quite quickly, but then discovering The Game of Life and loving the complexity in that game. Lots of ups and downs, and it involved investing which I was fascinated by. You could end up with kids, which would be expensive, but you...

    Absolutely. I remember learning about how (In the USA anyway) taxes were first implemented as a "temporary" measure to fund the war. Then it became permanent.

    They put a $ sign next to it, and they're in BC, so I assume CAD/Canadian Dollars. If it was rupees, it would be about 33,000 CAD. Not nearly as bad, and seems a lot more reasonable to extort a business owner for. But I think they mean $2M dollars.

    Dang, Abbotsford is in BC, the province I live in. That's crazy that gang intimidation and extortion is still out in the open in a 1st world country like Canada. $2M also seems like a LOT to ask for protection. Surprised it's not more like $XXXX per month.

    Trying to get into consultancy - not sure where to start

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I highly recommend checking out Jonathan Stark's work on ditching hourly billing. He used to be a software developer, then became a software consultant, and now also helps other consultants value price their work. His work is great for anyone who wants to detach their income from their time...

    Awesome to have you here Mark! For context, I recently interviewed Mark Fox, founder at Resona Health, and invited him to the Fastlane forum. I'm just trying out his product for the first time and will report back with results! He has over 700 positive testimonials so it clearly works for a lot...

    A question for the Fastlaners!

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    You can also try building a business on the side without taking any drastic life-changing steps. I think when the pain of remaining in your current state exceeds the pain of changing, you'll be able to move to a brand new place or quit a job, just like MJ wrote in TMF. But if you're not at that...

    I've Hit a Plateau in how to Market my Subscription Box

    FEEDBACK 
    If you pivoted entirely to protein (not protein powders, but ready to eat sources of protein, such as jerky, bars, and so on), I could see you marketing it at different tiers as a way to get a variety of protein every month from hand-picked sources picked based on quality of ingredients and...

    I've Hit a Plateau in how to Market my Subscription Box

    FEEDBACK 
    Did your lawyer friend say it was legal? In any case, assuming you plan to move forward regardless, I think the brand names inside the box can sell themselves just fine. If I heard there was a box where for $30 I could try the Blueprint stack, or try 5 flavours of Max Jerky at much lower price...

    I've Hit a Plateau in how to Market my Subscription Box

    FEEDBACK 
    Not bargain. Just finding the right fit. In one of MJ's videos, he talks about switching supplement brands after years of sticking with one brand, just because a competitor was offering natural ingredients (beet juice and stevia instead of artificial colouring and aspartame). But he was with the...

    What Podcast or Youtube video changed your mind about something important?

    MINDSET CHAT 
    MJ's Youtube channel is an absolute gold mine. This video talking about value skew and value attributes is amazing. It offers a very practical exercise to validate any business idea, which is to just list out every possible value attribute it offers, and compare that to actual competitors in the...
