    Am I legally allowed to draw from TMF principles in my service?

    QUESTION 
    Who said I was doing anything along those lines? I simply asked a question about whether I would be legally allowed to do it. Chill out.

    Am I legally allowed to draw from TMF principles in my service?

    QUESTION 
    I'm in the process of getting off the ground with my first business ever. It's based on the pain point of: 1. Most B2B SaaS entrepreneurs that I've spoken to have no idea how to incorporate traditional direct-response principles into their marketing assets (e.g landing pages, sales emails...

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    I wouldn't worry so much about 'selling a solution of my own'. The idea of innovation should be to provide as much value as possible. So, if you've got a specific avatar in mind, don't you think you'll be more able to dissect their problems and maximize the value you're providing them with?

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    Not quite the same thing with a different wrapper; but if you really skew the attributes so that it benefits a single group of individuals, you'll have them buying in masses. It's really just about how you create value for a specific kind of person and convey it to them. If you're in a...

    Whatever business you want to start, start small.

    EXECUTION 
    I would say don't invest money at all until you're sure this is something the market NEEDS. Obviously this is context-dependent; if you're selling a physical product, invest the LEAST amount of money possible. You can always optimize it once the sales start rolling in. In either case, 150...

    Do I need to learn to code I am 16 years old

    MINDSET 
    I disagree. It's not a waste of time if you're using it as a means of generating cash flow quickly. Nothing's stopping you from writing a few cold emails using tested scripts, selling high-ticket, and quickly generating thousands of dollars. In the long run, yes; you want to ultimately divorce...

    What Do You Think?

    IDEA 
    @lifemaker Why not start with a customer? Start with the who, find out what their problems are, and how you could solve their problems with your skills. If you don't have the skills to do so, pick another who. Keep going until you settle on somebody who desperately needs your specialized skills.

    Alex Hormozi’s Skool

    PEOPLE SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I would assume this is exactly the case. Everything about Hormozi's rise to fame is akin to what we saw with Russell Brunson. Even the way their books are structured, the language they use, and the little illustrations. Hormozi is this generation's Russell Brunson. For that matter, his books do...

    Do I need to learn to code I am 16 years old

    MINDSET 
    What? Lol. If the best marketers are busy building their own $100M Empire... what's stopping the best developers from selling high-ticket services and building their own $100M Empire? Makes no sense. If you have a specialized skill, and you're solving the problem of a specific person, you'll...

    Starting & Growing A Micro SaaS Business

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    This is really good. I keep preaching that value skewing is the king of all business plays, right after solving a problem. The further you niche down, the more specific your messaging needs to be. This is key, and sometimes it's the entire difference between the businesses that convert at 3%...

    Taking imperfect action

    EXECUTION 
    Generally speaking, rare problems are worth more $$$. That's the basis of direct response marketing. Solve specific problems, charge more.

    Starting an online community

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN QUESTION 
    You have access... but are they okay with being emailed by you? If not, then you're probably not going to get the reception from most of them that you're expecting. That's cool and all so long as you're fulfilling a need, or providing the relief to the pain. Or taking an existing process and...

    What Do You Think?

    IDEA 
    Then start. Nothing will prove more valuable than the feedback from the actual market itself, so start making sales. Don't analyze every system before you're ready to go, because doing so makes you a 'major in the minors', so to speak. Get sales. Find out what's getting you getting you sales...

    Advice for 17 year old teen

    INTRO 
    Find a problem, then solve it. Sell the solution. If you can't find a problem, look at what's in need right now, and make it better in some way. This is known as value skewing in TFLF speak.

    Documenting my Agency/SMMA Journey

    EXECUTION 
    Have you read the books? Crypto does not align with the Fastlane ideology. I suggest you pick up a copy of either TMF or Unscripted TGRRE from 2021.

    Documenting my Agency/SMMA Journey

    EXECUTION 
    Value skews are your best friend. Look at about 20 different agencies, find out what they all have in common, as well as what the best of the best are doing differently. Make note of every single thing you possibly can, and find ways within your budget to beat your competitors. I sure hope...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    - AI - 
    This is operating on the assumption that such tools will either progress at an inconveniently slow rate, or effectively remain the same in terms of abilities. That's just not happening. I do think a lot of the repetitive, mundane tasks related to programming will be neatly tackled by NLP models...

    Question: Validity of a SMMA in 2024

    HOT! SLOWLANE SOCIAL MEDIA 
    As much as possible, stick to the CENTS framework if you want to build a traditionally fastlane business. I'm not qualified to give you a guided step-by-step, nor do I think that would benefit you, but generally speaking, if the business does not satisfy the five commandments (Control, Entry...
