    What is the best sales advice you've learned and can impart?

    GOLD! HOT! MARKETING 
    I can't say this has worked for me because I haven't applied it yet. But I've heard lots of good things about Alex Hormozi's CLOSER framework. He also has a longer talk on his entire sales process, including mindset and practical tactics. I also think the section from Win Without Pitching...

    Documenting a Lifetime Journey working on a Youtube Podcast

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I started my Youtube podcast in February 2023. By episode 5, I knew that this is what I wanted to dedicate my life towards. It is by far the most fulfilling thing I've ever done. I feel lucky to have discovered something I enjoy so much by age 28. Now it's just a matter of continually improving...

    How do I market my high school tutoring services (8th-10th grade)?

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    First off, congrats for starting your entrepreneurial journey so early in life! Here are some ideas: You could offer a referral bonus. Say a 10% discount to an existing client who refers a new client, and the same 10% discount for the new client. Increase it to 15% for the new client if they...

    Quit My Law Business After 8 Years & Decided To Get A Job!

    CHAT 
    I think one way to scale in service or consulting businesses like this is to value price rather than price per hour. Both Jonathan Stark and Blair Enns are good resources for this. I can see legal services being very valuable to a business owner because of how much risk you can mitigate. For the...

    I have a problem with MJ DeMarco (Follow your passion gets a beatdown)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    One thing that stood out to me in The Millionaire Fastlane was that MJ didn't have a one-size-fits-all definition of wealth or success. The Lamborghini represented that freedom to him, but he also understood that everyone's idea of financial freedom and independence would be different. Show me...

    Social entrepreneurship and financial freedom?

    INTRO 
    What do you mean by social entrepreneurship? I'm familiar with the concept but I would like to understand what it specifically means for you.

    Seeking Advice on Expanding Beyond My Programming Bubble

    MINDSET 
    I'd be down to start a Discord server for some group chatting action. I have another friend who just recently retired, and he worked in RPA for 20+ years at the same financial services company. His story is interesting because he took the disciplined, slow lane path, and saved diligently for 15...

    Don't Let the Fastlane Devolve Into Side Hustles

    RANT 
    I think side hustles are fine to discuss and share with the caveat that they are a stepping stone towards the Fastlane. I do dislike the posts that have the mentality of seeking "quick fixes" or "hacks" to succeed, since they seem to miss the entire point of the Fastlane mindset. There is a fair...

    Now Live: The Fastlane Forum is fully private with a paid membership.

    HOT! IMPORTANT! 
    Is there a way to gift a membership to someone? I just interviewed an entrepreneur who had a lot of great insights, was curious and well-read, and it seemed like he would be a great fit for the forum. I'd love to gift him a month of membership so he can try it risk-free and decide whether he...

    Introduction, part TWO

    INTRO 
    Over a year ago, I interviewed a young Esports professional from Sweden, and he talked about how he felt pressured by the culture there to not stand not, not be ambitious, and not aim to achieve greatness. The idea he got from his parents was that he should be responsible, get a stable job...

    I love Huberman and Rich Roll, and I haven't heard of Sinclair or Simon Hill, so I will gladly look into them! Some of my favourite health content creators include Jeff Nippard, Dr. Mike Israetel, Peter Attia, and Rhonda Patrick.

    Easiest Business idea to EXECUTE?

    EXECUTION 
    It's OK to get a job in the meantime. That's generally the quickest and easiest way to make money when you immediately need it.

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I think this is great. Also past a certain point, you can look at a book's index and pick the chapters that seem most interesting to you, and jump around a lot and read it based on the value you're getting rather than reading it all the way through from start to finish. If this allows you to get...

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

    MINDSET CHAT 
    I hate to admit it but I am a consummate consumer of content. My ratio of consumption to production is likely beyond 99:1. I figure I'm not alone though, and I always love learning about what other people are finding valuable. I used to read a lot, but these days I consume most of my educational...

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I just finished reading the Win Without Pitching Manifesto by Blair Enns. Great read, I highly recommend it. It was designed to be read on a 2 hour flight, so it's well condensed. It shifted my paradigms on what it means to sell, what it means to be creative in business, and what it means to...

    Intro + My "business" is just a 20k/mo job

    INTRO 
    Great points. Reminds me of that idea that a good part of a marketer's job is also to ensure that the product is high quality. In the same way, good SEO = good content that is well packaged for search engines to pick up on. I'd love to schedule a call to be one of your future students.
