    Audio vs physical books - my small epiphany

    BOOKS STORY 
    I have just had an epiphany I wanted to share. For the last decade my way to consume books was listening to them. That is how I consumed MJ`s books (bought from Audible), Hormozi books, "Lord of the rings" several times (I highly recommend the version recorded by Andy Serkis) and so on. And...

    That one Alex Hormozi idea I keep returning to

    MARKETING 
    Sorry for the rant, but it is 5 AM at my place, and I just have no one to share my experience with. And even if it were a more "godly" time, still, no one to share this with, as I do not have lots of entrepreneurs in my circle. So I have had my small Rope access business I keep developing for 2...

    An antidote to manager frustration - an anti-todo list

    MINDSET 
    In his book "High output management" Andrew Grove (former CEO of Intel) wrote a phrase that stuck with me: "A manager`s work is never done". What he ment is that whenever manager is working, he or she is in a constant flux of never ending tasks. Manager gathers info, manager controls and manager...

    Decreasing margins - subconscious entrepreneur fear

    MINDSET 
    Recently realised an interesting thing I believe I never saw written. And yet, it might be the thing that caps the business development of many beginners. So, most of us started as employees after school. And I believe in the US it might be a little different but where I am from - as an...

    How to find your TRUE niche?

    MINDSET 
    Hello, there! I`ve had this thought for ages and never felt comfortable expressing it because for many people it will definitely sound as trampling on their dreams. And since it comes to me almost daily from reading all the post from aspiring wantapreneurs and struggling entrepreneurs (not...

    Keeping your employees happy

    IDEA 
    Hi all I wanted to discuss here some strategies related to employee retention. In my field (rope access work) it is the most important thing because people are highly skilled, they go through the mill while learning and are almost by default entrepreneurial and easy to jump ship. So I knew...

    Study local culture to increase sales?

    MARKETING 
    Someone wise once said (I believe, even in MJ`s book, but hell if I remember in which and where): "I saw where everyone was going and went the opposite way" My company does rope access in Israel. In this field you almost inevitably end up in one of two places - either cleaning windows or...

    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...
