    Think for Yourself. No More Questions.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Dealt with inaction and seeking external validation and advice for over 10 years. If only I could tell my younger self the secret. So simple. Just do something productive today. And then repeat that everyday. You'll move mountains. Reading, journaling, cold showering, gym (yes even exercise)...

    I've failed at this for 9 years... what now?

    HOT! 
    Not disappointed by the plethora of positive comments and uplifting advice from members with a track record of success in their business and career. What I would add is - you didn't spend 9 years building a business; you spent 1 year doing 9 different things. How many business owners do you...

    How to get a killer deal in front of local area businesses?

    MARKETING 
    What deal are you are offering? . Also, 'Having a debate with someone who HATES cold calling' who is this person debating you? Cold calling definitely works and whoever hates it, is because they suck at making the calls. People aren't replying to emails. Similarly, as BigRomeDawg said, if you...

    Stay in the same business or quit to create a new one ?

    INTRO 
    Did you get 3 people interested or 3 people that bought your product? Regardless, why, after two years have you had such little traction? Even though you haven't posted consistently I would assume after two years you'd have more customers. This could be a problem in your marketing, your...

    Making shopify websites as a side hustle - how to scale?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    By recurring element I believe Andy meant if you have a way to have revenue coming in past the initial offer (ie - maintenance fees, etc). Also, have you considered expanding to an adjacent service? Figure out what other services your clients currently need and see if you can monetize. Getting...

    How do you accept rejection?

    MINDSET 
    What do you do when your mind is racing like crazy and your stomach sinks to your knees moments before taking a risk and getting a rejection? It can be any area. Business, relationships, friendships. You have a big client meeting that could 10x your start-up tomorrow with the C-level suite, you...

    IT guy saying hello and joining The Fastlane

    INTRO 
    What part of your processes do you think was broken from these businesses that led to their failure? Was it getting the business started, acquiring new customers, fulfilling the orders or getting repeat business (post-purchase nurturing)? I think it is very admirable that you are still on the...

    Created a product, now what? How do you get OUT there

    MARKETING 
    @liams_bad_at_biz - If you don't have any stock, what action are you hoping people take on your TikTok videos? The questions seem placed out of context. Johnny Boy's NBA analogy was spot on. This will probably demotivate you and make you upset but, why is your product better? Have you had any...

    What are your most foundational pieces of wisdom?

    MINDSET 
    What pieces of wisdom do you find to be deceptively simple that have dramatically improved your life? Mine is - calories in > calories out. It is F*cking simple but deceivingly hard to do. People will do Ketogenic diet, Atkins, Low-Carb, Gluten-Free, Vegan, which, make sense if you have an...

    Goal setting.

    HOT! 
    Goal setting is a constant, slow process. I've been goal setting since I was 17. I'm 25 now (clearly I am ancient), and I am still constantly adjusting my goals and the process of setting my goals. At the moment I have a similar cadence, I have major life goals broken down into yearly...

    The One Thing You MUST Do To Thrive On The Fastlane...

    MINDSET 
    How does taking full ownership of your life look like in practice? I think of it as the old adage of accepting what can't be changed, and changing what can. It's about not complaining of news that we can't do anything about, comparing ourselves wishing we were born in different circumstances...

    A franchising business for drive-in cinemas. Based on this report, and anecdotal experience drive-in movies are seeing a resurgence.

    Learning for learnings sake... How to add a “why”?

    I’ve gotten better over time. I used to read books just to say I read a lot of books. Now, I’ve gotten more strategic and only read books I can apply now. But, there are somethings I want to do that don’t necessarily align with an end goal. Doesn’t mean it can’t. An example is I want to learn...
