    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    GOLD! 
    I love this thread, but it makes me want to jack in the two things I already have going on, or add a third. Testament to the ideas and knowledge being shared, but I must not allow my head to be turned! Still, thanks for the infotainment.

    Property: I think I'm going to sign up for paid mentorship/coaching with someone who has been in the business for a number of years, written books on the subject, runs a property podcast and so on and so forth. I've always been wary of things like this, and TMF made me doubly so because of the...

    Nearly a month since my last update and what have I achieved? I'm not going to beat myself up like I have in most of my posts because I actually feel like I have got some traction, so whoo me. I've been working a lot - it's 'deployment time' for my client before the big change freeze in the run...

    An interesting development over the last few weeks as my contract is up for renewal soon and I have requested an increase to my day rate which has been approved. This is roughly a 12% 'pay rise' and I don't think you see many of those knocking around in the JOB industry these days. Contracting...

    How to disable forum alerts!

    Presumably unwatching individual threads after commenting could also work on a more ad hoc basis if you wanted to still get pop ups for a subset you were interested in keeping track of. Maybe. Im guessing.

    Well thats good to know, thank you. I can only hope that some day in the future these self loathing posts form the bedrock of a great story. Let me know if you start you're own progress thread and I'll be sure to follow along and race you to our own respective finish lines!

    Is Uber a fastlane business?

    " In the last three months of 2016 alone, the company lost $991 million. " Uber can’t stop losing money I take it back, maybe the questions should be - can a company losing a billion dollars a quarter ever be considered fastlane?

    Is Uber a fastlane business?

    It looks like we've debunked the original thesis, but as a broader question; can a business as successful(?) as large(?) as highly valued(?) as Uber ever NOT be fastlane? Are there examples of huge companies that fail CENTS?

    So I didnt manage to set up the viewings I wanted as theyd both already sold. Take no action, get no results. But I did manage to get viewings set up on two potential properties for Sunday. They're an hours drive from home which I might have used as an excuse before but I'm getting moving...

    Ugh. How do you know if you're moving forward? It's been nearly a month since I posted here and what have I achieved? How have I moved my life forward? I don't even know. This house renovation business that I said I was going to move forward on in a month I've been to view one house. I didn't...

    Fastlane or Unscripted? Which first?

    HOT! 
    TMF for me, for many of the reasons above but also because I listen on audible and the fact that it was self-narrated I felt only added to the message and the buy-in to the concepts. Unscripted was a tougher listen then but part of that is because it is so rampacked with additional content it's...

    Of course, apologies for casting my life onto yours based on a few lines of text! My contracting 'business' is up and running and making money in a 'trade my time' kind of way, getting clients for me singularly doesnt seem to be a problem, but building the type of trust and team to win and...

    Thanks for the encouraging words. My experience sounds a lot like yours, never having managed to commit to something for a long period. But here I should be able to find the value opportunities and build if I just stick at it long enough.

    Shiny object syndrome? Does that product idea I have make everything else irrelevant? Even I'm bored of all this thumb twiddling now but I want to finish the brain dump I started on last weekend. So I've introspected on lot on my current job, and the property investment master plan I've been...

    Does growing the business make sense? Can I even make that happen? Do I want to? Contracting, doing what I was doing but for a few more pennies. I enjoy the challenge, I enjoy the feeling I'm giving more than I ever did in my old job, I enjoy knowing those few more pennies are going to get me...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Finished it today. Start it again tomorrow. I love audible but I find I need to listen to each book a few times in turn to make sure I internalise things better. Thankfully the reason I love audible is its great for during the commute or whilst out walking the dog so a 17 hour(!!!) audio book...
