    Thank you :) I'll be putting a copy next to the ones of the girls where I need to be reminded what life is about the most - in my office

    The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.

    HOT! CHAT 
    My obsession is generally around driving/racing/working on cars, probably the one thing that makes me truly happy besides family. This week has involved making some time for the track and welcoming my son into the world. Life is good.

    Joined you on your first course (or at least when you first rolled it out) some time ago @Fox - it was certainly money well spent and has contributed towards taking me to some interesting places!

    How much money have you lost?

    MINDSET 
    Point 1 - you need to get rid of that care factor. I made a lot of money 'cleaning cars' a (Well, detailing, but it's what people see it as) and getting the dodgy car salesmane comments. I also drive a Porsche, a McLaren and have a nice home and am building another. None of that matters, but...

    9 years after I first posted a process thread from the depths of the slowane. Then vs Now. FIFO working on a gas plant to $1m and exponential growth

    Social media is F*cking toxic. Now I'll preface this with the point that social media is certainly useful and in some businesses, necessary. But. Start a new account. Completely de-link emotionally with it. Be 100% intentional with your use of it. Every now and then I make the mistake and...

    SpreadsheetLLM - Microsoft unveils LLM now able to tackle unstructured data within spreadsheets - A SaaS killer? An accountant job killer?

    I think like anything ai, integrity/confidence will be the key. As someone who has to crunch very complex data for billion dollar projects. Sometimes you have to apply nuance based on experience, understand why something might not make sense or paint a false picture etc. Where data may be...

    Chatted to a linkedin consultant today, didnt realise such a thing existed but it tells me this thing is worth cracking. She was the one that told me the headline is the most powerful way to convey what you do. get help x companies save $y each year" "Helping smes get xxx views on google" or...

    Wow didn't realise there was a limit although I'm far far below it with a thousand connections. It's funny really. The first thing I say to anyone who's lamented not making sales, myself included is "how many people have you contacted, REALLY?" That metric reinforces it. Frustrated at the...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Interesting, loving seeing a different business model in action, makes me think a little laterally :) EG there isn't a 'standard tool' as such for my industry in the same way that google is the basis of what I think you do for your clients, but there are things like microsoft office and a lot...

    Thanks for sharing, interesting! I've been very limited in my posting to date, slack I know, so my insights are probably v limited in value and not very reflective of typical response.. Awesome point, I love the idea of having a CTA on the profile.. Signing up for a free course doesn't really...

    MINDSET SCALING EXECUTION 
    Another big pickup over the past 9 years that I can't stress enough is that you can't expect to get the best results by copying and pasting from success. There are SO many iterations of 'master systems' out there that claim that their way is the way. What I've tended to find, is the vast, vast...

    Well Well.. I can't believe it has been an entire 9 years since I posted this. That is truly terrifying. But at a point where a few things have changed lately and I found myself shrouded in a little self doubt and exhaustion, I found myself in need of taking a slight breather for the week...

    lol absolutely, I have to roll out spell check for any triple digit scrabble words Yeah that is a good take in fairness; it's double edged, because I think it's fatiguing people from engaging as much too but there's definitely a positive side. I found videos work well - and the algorithim...

    Connected, serendipitous that I came across this post after opening up the forum for the first time in possibly 7 years or so. Also gave me the excuse to use serendipitous in a sentence for the first time. Double whammy. I've just started trying to figure out linkedin. I shyed away from it, it...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    I love motorcycles.. Bought my dream bike and it sat as a trophy in my business because of this exact same sentiment. My family needs me and I love life so it becomes a decision on the same level as choosing not to drink to excess daily. Fortunate enough that cars can replace 7/10 of the...

    Ahhh Feels Great To Report a Business For Discrimination (another reason to go Fastlane)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's difficult to take a pragmatic approach in the face of adversity or rejection. It's easy to jump to the conclusion of needing to justify why someone didn't choose you, when in reality it could be simply that they didn't like you, you weren't the right fit, or they simply had to choose...

    Freelancing and being well paid for it can be Action Faking too

    Freelancing, or consulting - are things that need to be taken in perspective. What I mean is, that it needs to be part of a bigger plan if that's what you want. My consulting business has done a few things for me. 1) become a massive time drain. Whilst I pick my clients and get paid for...

    What is your guys' take on popular Youtube vloggers?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think you may be looking at value from the wrong perspective. These guys rake in huge audiences and to sponsors/advertisers/anyone with a product, that is a HUGE value.

    Flipping cars, appliances, and other assets.

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've flipped cars and I've retailed cars and like the people above have said there's a world of difference. Setting up a business model is a barrier but it also intrinsically builds in some advantages that you simply don't have access to flipping.. as well as a bucket load of risk and...
