    My SEO is crap, Need feedback

    MARKETING 
    Yes, if I showed up on a forum with nothing to offer and asking for free advice I would take the risk and put my billion-dollar idea out for all to see. Either way, this forum will not give you the magic answers you need. A few basic tips will not solve your SEO problems, you need to invest A...

    My SEO is crap, Need feedback

    MARKETING 
    If your SEO is crap your competitors are already beating you. It's doubtful you are working in a field with no competition. You came to a forum with plenty of experts in the exact skill you need help with but have given them nothing to work with. Nobody is going to hand you the answers you...

    Young fastlaners: SHUT DOWN ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

    GOLD! HEALTH 
    I've been slowly cutting social media out over the last year for one month at a time and then reintroducing it. Each time I reintroduce it, I use it significantly less and find it less addicting but I still feel a massive shift in my mental health and focus. While there is beneficial content...

    Do you work weekends?

    EXECUTION 
    I've fallen into the habit of working every single day... sometimes it feels wrong. Yet when I take a step back and force myself to take a break I often get bored and wish to be working as I do enjoy it. Struggling to find a proper balance. Planning to try keeping Sundays for family and...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    Noticing this more & more myself as well. While I love my old friends and value the role they played in my life, it seems to get harder to really connect with them as time goes on. I find the same detachment exists even with family. Our lives have diverged so drastically. Their conversations...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'd probably have taken Spain as well for the economic benefits, larger population and warmer sea/weather overall. Portugal was our only option coming from Canada since my fiancee could get her citizenship by descent. Portugal has a lot happening especially in Lisbon/Porto. The Algarve is...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    An important note about the lifestyle in the Algarve - the place is retirement central, especially during the winter. Before I moved here I thought it was an exaggeration, but it is very true. Everywhere I go during this time of year I am one of (if not the) youngest people there, and I am not...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I live in the Algarve right now and it is a fantastic place having come from the freezing depths of Canada. Walking around in shorts & a t-shirt (during the day only) in November is quite a game changer. I do want to give you a heads-up that the NHR is supposed to end by 2024. The Portuguese...

    The Ultimate Status Symbol? It's Not What You Think...

    MINDSET 
    Thank you for sharing. I resonated with two points you've made quite a bit. I find this to be the biggest struggle. I strive to be as responsive and helpful for my customers as possible, but the more I look at it I think my approach actually takes away from their experience. Yes, they can jump...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    That is my concern as well, unfortunately after your time within the NHR runs out you are subjected to a brutal tax rate. They just recently launched a "streamlined" process to open a business here, but knowing how the bureaucracy works here on a day to day I highly doubt it is very simple...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It's actually been a blessing. While I hate to see business owners getting ripped off by these terrible companies, it's truly helped us build a loyal client base. When clients see the difference in the quality of our work, and especially our customer service, they fall in love with it. Most of...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    100% suggest checking it out. There is a strong expat / digital nomad community and the sun never stops shining! It seems to be a common event in North America. A lot of northern areas experience 4 months of nice weather followed by 8 months of cold, dreary, dark weather. I actually do love...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    A lot has changed in a year! Took the plunge and moved to Portugal. 3 months ago. Lisbon was miserable, stressful, & cold... people were quite tense overall and it was definitely not the vibe we were looking for at all. Great vacation spot, but not so great for living. I struggled to keep...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    The grant opportunity we have been offering customers has started to pay off immensely. We have almost 40 people in the pipeline as solid leads, with about half of them already in the application to receive the grant & pay us for our services. The amount of people who have horror stories about...

    Has your ME-BIAS backed you into a corner of doing nothing?

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Dropping the ME and looking around was the best thing I ever did for business. By identifying things I could do to HELP other people, my business started doing better than ever. By focusing on others, I indirectly benefitted myself in unimaginable ways. Giving returns ten-fold.

    Buying a business vs starting from scratch

    MINDSET EXECUTION QUESTION 
    It depends on the industry you are trying to buy your way into. A lot of family-owned businesses are reaching their natural end, as the owner's children/family don't want to take them over, and they eventually want to retire. A lot of the younger generations want to get famous on YouTube &...

    How I Went From Massive Consumer to Massive Producer (Business Venture)

    EXECUTION WEB/DIGITAL 
    This is a great story and concept that be applied to many different avenues. We consume endlessly, but rarely step back and look at how we can turn our consumption into money-making opportunities. Whether it be our addiction to video games or our addiction to mindlessly scrolling social media...

    Re-read TMF or read Unscripted or read TGRRE?

    If you haven't read any of the other books, definitely continue on and try the other two. That being said I've read TMF/Unscripted a few times over now. Each time I return to them I find a take a little more out of it than I previously had - despite having previously taken notes. Excited to...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    She is! She started off extremely nervous but we figured this would be a really good way to build rapport and show we are serious. From day one she has been absolutely killing it. Dealt with a few condescending & rude people but has taken it in stride and we've had a ton of success with this...

    Homeschooling 101

    MINDSET 
    It's not that I'm uncomfortable with the term, but rather that I think it is extremely important for developing minds to interact with people their own age as well as adults. I've met some people who were home-schooled that definitely lacked this, and it is quite clear that they are very...
