    How you WIPE your WINDSHIELD? #rant

    MINDSET 
    Yep, similar story here. Now married with two children. Very proud I've been able to give the kids a stable, loving and supportive home even though i had no experience of that - the crap I went through has stopped with me and not infected them. OP, you can't help those who wont help themselves...

    Nice. I've got a chillisleep and it's made a huge improvement to the quality of my sleep in summer.

    Your Biggest Lesson from 2023...?

    MINDSET 
    My lesson from this year is: everything is my fault. _Everything_. Some things were directly my fault. Other things were initially caused by something outside of my control, but I: failed to correctly identify the problem, and/or failed to respond appropriately It's. all. my. fault. And...

    Starting food product business

    EXECUTION 
    I've been quiet on this thread the last few weeks. I'd made a rough road-map of steps I'd need to take to bring this idea to fruition. After seeing it laid out like that, I realised there's some low-hanging fruit I can go for that will bring in a bit of money, at the cost of not being as CENTS...

    Essential lessons for young children...

    HOT! IDEA 
    Please do. Last year I read TMF to my then 11 year old son (editing it to a PG rating). The emphasis on having an internal locus of control made a huge impression on him; I'd say that was his most important takeaway. Understanding the power of fastlane and generally having a growth mindset was...

    Starting food product business

    EXECUTION 
    Last week goals: Keep working on the prototype to work around the current aftertaste. Done Order a small distillation kit as I suspect I'll need some distilled extracts in future (since it takes a while to get things delivered here, to keep moving forward I have to order in advance) Done...

    I have the resources, should I go through on this?

    IDEA 
    Interesting idea. Can other value skews be added? e.g. make the sauce into a 'functional food' that enhances blah blah. Even if it is as simple as hiding extra daily serves of vegetables in it (parents would probably buy that one for their kids)

    Starting food product business

    EXECUTION 
    Last week goals: Check whether it's possible to reduce the amount of the problem substances in certain food ingredients. DONE Do a survey of what diet compliant products are available and what value skews might be possible on them. DONE I've also thought of a possible food. Australia is...

    ^^This. My slowlane workplace is heavily unionised. I made myself unpopular last week by refusing to go on strike (whatever). There are many employers in this particular field, and they are competing for our particular skillset. I negotiated great conditions and salary for the role. My...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    CHAT 
    1. The kids are still on school holidays so I'm happy with making any progress at all this week. I've been able to complete last week's goals so I feel really good about that. Did a competitor analysis and attempted a prototype. 2. Too early to have sales 3. Given family commitments, I feel...

    It's school holidays so we've packed up the kids and driven down to a friends holiday house in Lorne, (Victoria, Australia). There's so much beauty in the world.

    Starting food product business

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Oilman, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. It sounds like you're a little ahead of me. I haven't even thought of marketing yet (I'm a complete newbie). I have been reading Ryan Moran's 12 months to 1 million. He seemed to have some good tips on building a social media following to...

    Starting food product business

    EXECUTION 
    Hi, I'm starting this thread for accountability and so others can learn from my journey's ups and downs. Thanks for reading and for any feedback! Quick intro: I'm married, two kids. The slow lane has been OK for providing for my family, but it's slowly smothering me. MJ's books have been an...

    So Citi Bank is the first bank moving deposits into digital tokens, with Gov blessing. How long until the Gov restricts what individual tokens can be spent on? Been an annoying boy? No ammo purchase for you. Spending too much? Spending limit for you. Not spending enough? Expiry date for you!

    Competitor analysis for a product idea I have. Going to see what similar product's prices, value skews and reviews are like. Also have a first attempt at a prototype.

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    NOTABLE! IDEA 
    I signed up for Ryan’s ‘free email course’ not so much for the course itself as to learn more about how he does content marketing/lead nurturing. I’ve been a little underwhelmed with the first couple of emails. Today’s one, though, was along the lines of ‘I’m updating my paid course because it...

    Website evaluation

    MARKETING 
    Congrats! (BTW nice to see another Victorian on the forum) I was really puzzled by the banner image - didn't realise the rectangle showing 'step two remove ridges' was the top of the product. I thought it was a text-box on the banner that hadn't been replaced. If the banner had an image of the...

    Sorry, this is a rant. A moment ago my employer announced they expect me to participate in a 'Pride Bake' as, among other things, 'part of a bigger movement to create moments to talk about outdated ideas about gender'. I'm happy that people are not clones and I'm respectful to all my work...

    What's your Lambo? (What are you working for?)

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    My main Lambo is curiosity and desire to force myself to grow. Yes, providing value and gaining financial/time freedom etc are also drivers but curiosity/growth is the big one. Can I do 'this'? How do I overcome 'that'? Has doing 'scary or hard thing' changed me for the better? What have my...
