    MJ DeMarco and Real estate?

    Following on from Bruno, as an Australian, I am not sure where you got your information from but Australia is a very expensive place to live. Not only that, you won't get in unless you satisfy the skill gap test, meaning only people who are qualified in certain areas will be allowed in. I met a...

    Recruitment agency

    MARKETING 
    I’ve been in the recruitment industry for over 25 yrs and I now teach people how to recruit and how to start and build their own recruitment company at www.recruitmentschool.com.au. My suggestion is simple, if you cannot significantly differentiate yourself whilst still staying true to the model...

    Value of rereading certain books

    Of course there is value in it. You’ve purchased it so get as much as you can out of it. Squeeze it so much that you’ve extracted every bit of gold out of plot that you can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What skill would you say is the most valuable in today's economy?

    HOT! 
    Everyone has said sales and I agree. However what I like to add is the skill of resilience so when they get smacked in the face over and over they can recover quickly. I would also like to suggest that people need problem solving skills - after all that’s what we do as entrepreneurs- solve...

    This is all brilliant stuff. Lets face it, the more productive we become the more we achieve. I tripped across the power of three some time ago. It is vitally important that you practice this. This article is a great intro to The Power of Three | HuffPost. Take the power of three philosophy...

    The challenge I had with Trello is if you are off line you can't use it. So if your stuck on a plane and trying to organise your life via Trello you can't. So I switched to Miester Task and it works just like Trello but better.

    GoDaddy or GoHome

    MARKETING 
    Interesting read. I use GD for all domains. It's easy and cheap. Don't use their web-builder product. Make yourself learn Wordpress. It's a much more stable and reliable platform and will be better for you in the long run. From a seo perspective, get yoast. It's quick easy and works. As far as...

    To dump on or prop up?

    MINDSET 
    Thanks @raden1 for commenting. The way I look at this is if the guy had asked for feedback then by all means give it. However he didn't. Therefore what you me or anyone else thinks about this attempt is not important. He was sharing the small successes he has had. Let's help him with that, not...

    Poll: Computer science or Mechanical engineering?

    Both are great vehicles however are both slowlane. However as @nuclearpua says the mechanical eng degree equips you with a mind set that is more valuable. Go mech eng.

    I don't come here very often because I'm usually too busy, however it's Easter Monday and the rest of the house hold is asleep [emoji57] so here I am. I was surprised and concerned by a post that I read this morning. I won't mention it but it was a fellow fastlaner who had released an app and...

    Good for you @chaudafella. You're making it happen. You had a vision and you have made that dream a reality. Remember, that's more than 80% of the population will do so you are already a winner. Keep chasing those dreams my friend. What ever you do, do not stop! No matter what the outcome with...

    The Exit Strategy??

    The exit strategy is in place because an investor wants to know when they are going to get their money back. There are usually 2 types of exit, a trade sale and ipo.

    Thanks Tony, this is a great post. I also like Meister Task or Trello. Only problem with Trello is it isn't available offline hence moving to Meister Task. Thanks again.

    Raised $1 mill in private equity

    EXECUTION 
    @Knugs after I left the business all but the people who had a shareholding resigned. I cut ties with the people there during the legal process but I heard on the "grape vine" that they had to raise more money, for what I'm not sure. The troubled director was eventually removed and a new person...

    Raised $1 mill in private equity

    EXECUTION 
    Hi everyone, thought I should share a story. In 2013 I built a model to disrupt a certain industry that needed disrupting. I need $$$ to promote the business. I joined forces with a group and raised $1,000,000 to fund the expansion. We built a board, and even though I had been on many...

    Is it worth it to pay for someone to redo my resume?

    NOTABLE! 
    Three tips. 1. Think of a résumé as a brochure. A brochure is used to get you into the store it's not the product. Anyone's resume is designed to get them into the yes pile so you can get in front of the person. 2. Always tailor a resume for the role. Have a standard copy and tweak it for the...
