    Almost there! Definitely feel like I'm on the edge of the "Fastlane". Maybe by the end of the year. I'm already planning to take a couple weeks mostly off at the end of September... but then it's back to the frying pan.

    Yeah, I figured. Business sometimes feels like a ball and chain when you have to spend a whole day managing adults. Can't imagine how being an employee feels like. That's exactly how I feel. I'm having to slowly focus more and more on leadership rather than doing the work. Feels like...

    I really can't decide if I love or hate having employees. Sometimes I wish I picked an online business I can do from anywhere that's easier to scale and want to sell this thing and get as far away from it as possible. Sometimes I'm glad I went the route I did. Guess the grass is always...

    Lol, I believe it. I remember going over medical studies in my statistics class in college and thinking "wow, this is all BS. The test and math and are both unnecessarily complex with the obvious intent to obfuscate and designed in such a way that the results can made to prove any point you...

    As homes become more unaffordable, bougie Trailer Parks & RVs are a boring market that will make entrepreneurs in that area ridiculously rich.

    As a Catholic, it's pretty standard "devil is the prince of this world" stuff. Rejecting the world is entirely valid; it's why people become monks and hermits.

    I found black mold behind my AC vents. Suddenly, health issues that "randomly" flared up as soon as the weather was less than ideal made sense. I now have multiple expensive dehumidifiers and air purifiers constantly running.

    I'm shocked at how prevalent mold in homes is nowadays but nobody is talking about it. Feels like a billion+ opportunity for any aspiring entrepreneurs out there.

    I have a CAT 22 Flipphone. Technically a smart phone, but so buggy and inconvenient it's hard to use it as one.

    Getting negative comments on social media posts from your indirect competitor's wife is a milestone I didn't know existed. She should have waited a month when we'd be directly competing with him. On one hand, I feel bad because the more market share we get, the more likely competitors will...

    All my machines have different controls. It's often a big sticking point when manufacturing companies try to expand because they feel trapped into buying the same control on the new machine as their previous for the sake of standardization as well employee training and hiring. The industry...

    New machine day! Bought a $180k machine for $65k from a bank foreclosure. We have more orders than we can fulfill and I can't schedule time to develop new SKUs or product lines without interrupting production, so this machine is perfect. I have a product launch coming up that's going to...
