    NOTABLE! 
    Agree that reading about real success stories is hugely important. I would fast be coming up to my year anniversary, and whilst I can't call it a success story in the broad sense (I'm still scaling down my day to day work, and am not a millionaire - yet) The fastlane has been successful to me...

    Make $500 This Weekend - Ikea Dresser Recall Opportunity

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry but to a degree, I honestly can't see where the 'morals' come into it. If you take a different perspective, is this really too far removed from drop shipping? or outsourcing work? OP has stumbled on a party willing to part with cash. Sellers are offloading their goods at a price they're...

    $500,000+ revenue on Shopify!

    NOTABLE! 
    Well done with your success so far :) One question I had - you mentioned having a spend of $1k a day on advertising. Now, my ads are far, far below that but then sales are often on a go slow. So I guess I'm wondering at which point did you find sales ramped up in relation to your advertising...

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Very much so.. I've given social media a wide berth for a long time now - but I do use it more and more lately that said because amongst all the commercialism of social media, I do feel passionately about showing people (in particular my nieces and nephews) who are glued to it that there is...

    Are sales and discounts hurting your business?

    MARKETING 
    My take is: everything has its place. Constant discounts to me means low embodied value and appealing to the opportunist. It may devalue the brand, but if the brand is one of limited value and needing to capitalise on that opportunity, then its place indeed would be to offer constant...

    China + Asia in October? Canton Fair + Travel.

    MEETUPS 
    I'm very tempted to head over there as I'm only a $400 flight from HK and have a few clear days. It would be my first time at the rodeo that said.

    People are sheep..

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I found the above an interesting experiment and if you scratch beneath the surface it it makes you question a lot of your inner workings especially as an entreprenuer. Whilst I'm fairly sure that I wouldn't have stood, would I have questioned it in my head? Perhaps felt a little anxious because...

    an unexpected 30% boost in sales revenue

    MARKETING 
    For the sake of half a day it was worthwhile - it needed doing anyway, to optimise and to convert so it was as good as an excuse as any to do what I'd been putting off, not wanting to invest too much time. Learned a few things in the redesign too so it's a win win. The original design did have...

    an unexpected 30% boost in sales revenue

    MARKETING 
    So I switched momentarily last night and did see three sales straight away - but not as expected. The sales came from countries in Europe that are new markets to the business. Perhaps the exchange rate following the brexit has given the impression that purchasing in pounds is a good deal (not...

    You only have to look at how many airbuses have crashed from the skies due to their automation to see that things failing doesn't stop progression if ''a greater good'' is seen somewhere.. much like the fastlane

    an unexpected 30% boost in sales revenue

    MARKETING 
    OK I know many will say 'well duh' to the following but it's something that didn't occur to me until recently. I have a couple of websites that steadily sell digital products. for up to $49 aud. I noticed that my sales were generally from all over the place, mostly America and Europe, so decided...

    Is Paypal Bad for business?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Good to hear some positive feedback too - I've been using paypal since around the same time but the problems only seem to be since it really 'blew up' and moreso in the last 3 years personally I believe so, yes That's the middle ground I suppose - worth pointing out that I took steps to...

    Do visible tattoos negatively impact entrepreneurs business with customers, clients, or investors?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I have tattoos all over my arms and back. I'd say something like 'I don't let it define me' or 'I don't let people judge me on it' but truth is - first impressions count, and I use them to my advantage. I meet clients in a business shirt and suit If I get the feel that they're more laid...

    Is Paypal Bad for business?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    So I've been expanding my e-commerce stores over the last few months which has involved some amateur mistakes and frustrations. Most of which a) Paypal integration with my ecommerce solution causing timeouts and numerous dropped carts (to the tune of $1500). People who have disputed purchases...

    Burnout, Lack of Productivity, or Lack of Motivation?

    MINDSET 
    working to burnout is counter productive. Think about it. You're in the gym. You're lifting. You feel yourself hitting the wall, you keep going. You hit the wall. HARD.You keep going. You drop 100kg of steel on your chest. You repeat daily and find you can barely push out 5 reps of the same...

    What shortcomings do you notice in the conduct of businesses you interact with?

    I generally make a conscious effort not to be too concerned with what other people do/don't do, or be too annoyed by actions that don't effect me.. But every now and then when dealing with people as they go about their general business, I just see examples of what I immediately take on board as...
