    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    - AI - 
    Or they cut 4,000 jobs because of other reasons, but AI makes up for a more positive narrative? Lots of companies hired way too much staff during the COVID years and lots of them didn't grow as fast as they had expected, so layoffs are the natural consequence. Sure, in part those layoffs may...

    Starting & Growing A Micro SaaS Business

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Where exactly are you getting those 3%? Sitewide? On a specific landing page? What's the user intent when they get to your content? And how much traffic are you getting right now?

    Advice on how to pivot

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    I can't tell you what do do, but here are some useful questions to ponder over: What skills and connections has your current business equipped you with and what else could you use them for? So you're doing Christmas decorations right now. What else could you sell to your clients? Decorations...

    Teen Brothers Started a Side Hustle on Facebook Marketplace That's on Track for $1.2 Million This Year: 'Quit My Job and Went All In'

    Wise words: A lot of times, people tend to overcomplicate things, especially people with a high level of formal education. They will try to find a business that looks perfect on paper, which they mostly won't be able to find. And once they do, it usually doesn't work out because their...

    So I haven't posted any updates in a while and it's basically because I slipped along the way of building up this new business. Mental health, I guess? To be honest, I think I still haven't processed falling down from $250K/month to almost nothing within such a short amount of time. What...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Still working towards having an offer or simple modules that can make up an offer. Having to create fully customized quotes for each client, in my opinion, is already a process bottleneck in many cases, so I want to try to avoid that. On the other hand, I'm still getting to know the market, as...

    I have hyperthymestic syndrome, so these are probably shockingly accurate. However, note that these are specific pieces of advice to my 17-year old self, so they may or may not work out for you. Pick whatever resonates with you and discard what doesn't. Keep doing what you're doing. You're...

    Update: I'm still writing about TikTok-related topics on our website every day. I'm learning a lot in the process and I'm coming up with possible needs that we could cater to. Started working on the actual TikTok accounts of the agency's first clients. Got two sales calls already lined up for...

    Thanks for the kind words! As for your question: Built up dozens of content sites and monetized (mostly) via Amazon Affiliate and Google AdSense. We also had while label partnerships with huge media firms who weren't able to churn out content at our velocity and levels of quality. The...

    No hands-on experience yet, I basically just consumed all the YouTube videos and Udemy courses and books on the topic that I was able to find. And here's a podcast episode I listened to recently that just came to mind: ‎First Things THRST: E046 - “TikTok is the New AMAZON!”: The Future of...

    Update: Website is set up and content production has started. I am actually writing all of the content myself (aided by AI, Claude 3.5 is amazing), because I feel that it helps me gain a deeper understanding of the related matters, which is what I am looking for and what I need. Defined some...

    Update of the Day: I just briefed a really decent and affordable designer I know to work on the logo for the agency; the cost is $55. The result won't be perfect, but it will be good enough. I never spend too much on these types of details early on. I set up a WordPress website (yes, I'm old...

    I would not, at least not yet. However, there is no reason whatsoever for you not to get started right now. Invest a couple of hours each week into your fastlane business from now on, and it will pay off. You don’t need to put in crazy hours to find something that works. Be smart about what...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I bought and sold backlinks when the market wasn't as crowded as it is now, and it was a real money glitch. My unique angle was working with buyers who managed a portfolio of international websites, most of which were involved in some type of vice industry, such as internationally operating...

    I appreciate the kind words! You know, it's what MJ says - people are usually looking for "event", not "process". So they'd rather jug down some AG1 or buy into some weird workout program by some supposedly natty dude who is actually juicing in real life. My training is mostly about putting in...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Yes - there was some diversification, though, but it was too shallow to have any real effect when sh*t hit the fan. Regarding the workout-related question, I am happy to share what has been working for me. Going into too much detail would probably justify a separate thread altogether. If you...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I agree. Today's reality, though, hardly permits you to grow fast without some level of reliance on different types of platforms. What I'll do better this time around is to diversify across different platforms once there is traction. This applies to the client acquisition layer as well as to...

    I started my first business thanks to MJ's writings many years ago when I was 17 years old, and it was a life-defining decision. I made many mistakes along the way and should have followed some of MJ's advice more closely, especially the commandment of control. Essentially, we got...

    Re-Introduction

    INTRO 
    Alright... so I'm not exactly the new kid on the block I guess but I doubt that anybody still remembers me around here - it's been a while. I discovered this forum more than 10 years ago, even before The Millionaire Fastlane was released. Thanks to its members back then and of course @MJ...

    Fear of wasting my life

    MINDSET 
    You remind me so much of myself when I was 17. Let me tell you one thing. First of all, don't be so hard with yourself and stop comparing yourself with others. There's always a bigger fish. There's always gonna be. You don't have to be a millionaire in 2 years. We often overestimate what we can...
