    I went into the office today on Black Friday

    I think a lot of it falls back to how entrepreneurs view their time vs how slowlaners do. I view my time as much more valuable than the $50, $100, $300 that I can save by having a stressful Black Friday experience. Not to mention the fact that I could spend that time productively so essentially...

    Gee, Call Me Not Shocked... (Another Seminar Scam)

    HOT! 
    The above is why a place like this is so valuable and why I don't think twice about engaging with opportunities that arise from the experts of this forum. Generally their reputation precedes them and you don't have to think too had about whether or not a course, seminar or mentoring has...

    Best way to target on Facebook ads?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Unfortunately it forces you to think laterally. If you can't target specific pages, find out trends between where else they hang out, mutual interests etc. I haven't mastered the targetting yet, far from it.. As for why you can't target certain pages, part of me says to stop poaching which would...

    What uncomfortable thing did you do this week?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My uncomfortable thing for the week has been asking for advice and guidance. I'd usually shy away from it, not because I think I know better, far from it! I've just always been a sucker for learning and doing things independently (ie 'the harder way') Tomorrow or next week's will be approaching...

    Pay cash for a car or get a loan (case study with my Ferrari)

    I had the opposite luck! Toyed with buying a Ferrari 360 for 35k GBP a few years back, kept my apartment that I had leased. Sold the apartment for the same that it was worth back then.. Whereas the same ferrari now costs approximately 55k gbp! I guess in reality the property paid for irself...

    What's better than low hanging fruit?

    MARKETING 
    Have got to say a huge thanks for your posts Andy! Have spent the last week or so spending more time digesting them and taking a critical view of my ads and landing pages (especially since reading 'landing pages do not convert' I've been looking at the focal points and looking at how the landing...

    Not bad..

    MINDSET 
    Hey guys, I wanted to share something that I've found had surprising results with myself, and it'd be cool to see if it does with anyone else. Towards the beginning of the year and up until a month or two ago, life's felt a bit of a drag. Family illnesses, purchasing a home and the added...

    The power of branding.. Taking the first two links I find when typing 'apple airpods' https://www.yahoo.com/tech/20-wireless-earbuds-many-features-missing-apple-airpods-151354133.html https://www.wired.com/2016/09/review-apple-airpods/ lacklustre responses so far, nothing revolutionary, the...

    How To Thrive In A Recession?

    EXECUTION 
    Very true. Re the lipstick effect - there is a slight caveat that leads back to adaptation and it's to always keep context. For example, I've seen people take it literally, using the car analogy. 'people cant afford cars and fuel, I'm going to get into bicycles instead' (which, can have it's...

    How To Thrive In A Recession?

    EXECUTION 
    Adaptation is key in my opinion. If you try to maintain the same business in a changing environment, you become exposed (unless your business plan is particularly invulnerable to change due to constant demand etc). I witnessed many in my industry become unemployed from some big pay cheques. I...

    Quick question for the Americans

    OFF-TOPIC 
    :lol: I spose there are some UK industries she'd thrive in.. Yeah it's something I hadn't thought of, but in a recent ad I put together for a bit of an experiment, I did use 'rug up' and the post just made me think about how well words translate - even if the audience speaks english!

    How to Get Rid of Negative Friends

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Leads to another question I suppose - Do people here feel that their journey 'looses' them friends? or meerely 'replaces' them? For myself I'd say I've become low on friends, high on acquaintances (both slow and fast lane). Largely in part due to negativity and 'time'. A kind of natural...

    Quick question for the Americans

    OFF-TOPIC 
    one of the many reasons I love this forum - it's funny how a simple question from someone can make you realise that you're taking something for granted when targeting an audience!

    How to Get Rid of Negative Friends

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    That's extremely accurate and I don't disagree at all - I more meant that in the beginning, slow or fastlane, the effort that most people claim it takes to break free from these people actually emanates from failing to realise that people are leaches in the first instance as opposed to it...

    How to Get Rid of Negative Friends

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    in some cases, I don't doubt it's a case of just doing you; but relationships (any, friends, family, romantic) can be complex things. Sometimes the problem is actualising the negativity in the first place. My partner has a friend who she missed dearly for several years until they started talking...

    The Best Skills to Learn as a Fastlane Entrepreneur

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    It depends on your business really. Some are core, some that seem core aren't so much. Selling to a degree, it depends on your goals. But then we're constantly selling our own image to get people's buy-in so it becomes not limited to just sales.. Similarly - Copywriting is something that I had...

    Some great content in this thread! +1 going to try something new, I currently have about 4000 followers on a niche I started a while back. It seems the Fitness niche is the easiest to rack up for likes and follows so far that I've tried, but I haven't cracked transferring that over just yet...
