    A day of weird marketing

    MARKETING 
    Well, that was weird. My day has just ended. And it brought me four leads with zero marketing budget and with a total of some tens of thousands of USD. And the most weird thing - I did not even knew I was doing marketing. It seems I got lucky the way MJ got lucky in his "luck" part of...

    How would you leverage this?

    IDEA 
    Hey, fastlaners! I am here with you for more than a year. The principles of MJ`s book have grown deep roots into my skull while I was working my night shifts on a factory for a near-minimum wage. And more than a year in they are still there when I go buy the piece of equipment more expensive...

    Do I need to unstuck? And how?

    QUESTION 
    Hey, everyone! One of the greatest fear of many entrepreneurs I know is a fear of stagnation. You know, that feeling when you got to some base and fear that it is the end, that this 3-4-5-figuremonthly income is all the value you can create? In the recent 2-3 months I’ve made a leap in my...

    SLOWLANE 
    Funny how things turn out sometimes, hey? I am one year into the business (like, 2 weeks ago was an anniversary for my FTE).

The initial question is this...

    Partnership is like marriage

    MINDSET 
    Do you remember that faithful phrase a wise wife can tell to her partner to ensure equality and stability in marriage? It goes like this: “My money is my money. Your money is our money”. I’ve discovered a version of it for business partnerships: “Your tasks are your tasks. My tasks are our...
