    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    18th May update OK it's time for a little recap on this progress thread. Back on the 19th of February I posted a goal to make a profit of $1000 from selling on Amazon within 30 days starting from zero. Zero inventory, no Amazon account, no systems or experience. While I can say I fell...

    28th March update After starting this thread on the 19th of February a lot has taken place. From having no Amazon store or inventory I now have a store with over 200 SKUs and I have made my first sales! Today my total gross sales passed $250. A long way from $1000 in profit but the timing...

    Thanks for this post @SteveO and @MTF for pointing it out! A reminder for me to stop thrashing around on multiple ideas and focus on building one solid plan.

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I've been researching this market here in Australia and in 2017 found almost 30 companies offering plastic moving crate rentals not counting some removalists that also offer 'free' and/or hired plastic moving crate options included with their service. Maybe some of these companies were founded...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've now read Unscripted. Great revision and companion to TMF. I felt simultaneously inspired and insulted at times. I just imagine the book is like having a frank conversation with a mate who actually gives a shit about how you live your life. Fake complements help no-one. Biggest...

    BRO-MARKETING! (Great Copy Selling Crap Products)

    MARKETING 
    I just noticed that back in 2014 I purchased Millionaire Fast Lane by Elliot Thomas on Audible. It was ABSOLUTE DRIVEL!! No doubt I heard about your book back then and bought that piece of crap by mistake. Have you tried taking legal action against this imposter? Surely I'm not the only...

I started waking up from my self deception when one of these IM...

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    Here's my FTE. Back in 2014 I was the superintendent of a industrial processing plant when it happened. I was called into a meeting room with my boss and his boss and delivered the news. My role was being given to one of my direct reports and I was being moved sideways into a support role...

    I have a problem with MJ DeMarco (Follow your passion gets a beatdown)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read 7 Habits years ago and there are plenty of useful ideas in it. But what purpose does this concept of legacy and what people will say about you after you are gone serve you today? Pretty soon you and I will all be dead and everyone who knew us will be dead as well. Yet there will still...

    Fastlane conversion

    INTRO 
    Hey everyone I'm really grateful for @MJ DeMarco for creating this forum and writing the book. I am 44 years old and had been working in the slowlane since leaving school in 1989. With my intrinsic value mindset I worked on increasing my personal rate of payment by getting more formal...

    I've read the book. It has helped to refocus me on the main game and realise some mistakes I was making.
