    EXECUTION 
    Hey all! I just wanted to do a quick drive-by update. I know a lot of people on this forum post for a couple of weeks and then you never hear from them again. I just wanted to verify, that my life is still changing thanks to what I have learned from @MJ DeMarco and his books. I am still not...

    A quick update! One of my clients just signed me on for a $2500/month retainer to do random programming tasks for them. That is for mostly consulting and random coding tasks up to 10 hours per month. For those keeping track that brings my first month total to $3400. This is a lot of hard work...

    Fox's 2019 Make $100k Starting Web Design from Scratch Challenge

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I am actually surprised by the number of web designers that don't follow this practice! Why in the world would you use anything other than a static template for a simple sales page? It should be about using the right tool for the job, not the one that you like most. This is why it frustrates me...

    I am probably not the right person to ask about that since I am brand new to doing consulting work. But I do think it will help to have some form of inbound marketing. I mean, it can't hurt to have people finding you naturally! I honestly feel like referrals are going to be the primary source...

    Hey there FLF! I wanted to drop a quick update since I have made some good progress in the last week. My Upwork jobs are going well. In the last week alone I have closed over $600 in contracts. Each contract that closes is another 5-star review, which is making it easier to win even more bids...

    Fox's 2019 Make $100k Starting Web Design from Scratch Challenge

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I am excited to see your progress here. I was inspired by your previous thread (along with @Sean Marshall and @Lex DeVille threads) and started my journey earlier this week to build a service based business to help me live my desired lifestyle (i.e. not an employee anymore). I bet you leave me...

    EXECUTION 
    I didn't start my entrepreneurial journey here on the Fastlane Forum, but I feel like I have absorbed a lot of great data in the last couple weeks and wanted to start giving back to the community. My hope is that this will someday be a valuable testimony of my journey that will help someone else...

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

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    Love this post! I figured this would be a good way to expand on my FTE beyond my intro thread and really kick off the journey. My event starts with a very comfortable life. I am married with 2 young children (2yo and 7mo). My wife stays home with the kids by choice. We just spent 50% of our...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just finished this! I think it is even better than Fastlane was, which I thought would be hard! I am definitely applying these concepts to my own venture and I am already seeing a positive impact. Great stuff!

    Taking my life back!

    INTRO 
    Great Feedback! I will add a section under the signup form that answers WHO, WHAT and HOW for sure. As for where I got my first paid customers? I have been driving traffic to the site for a couple months now as I iterate on the message to optimize list signups. As part of the list signup...

    Taking my life back!

    INTRO 
    First, thanks for taking the time and looking at my landing page! You are right that the page was really designed for mobile first. I will remove the top signup box to streamline the flow for both mobile and desktop users. I am currently building the sales copy for the bootcamp page, and it...

    INTRO 
    Hello Fastlane Forum! I just wanted to drop an introduction in here and start the process of getting to know everyone. I'll try not to wax poetic, but the guidelines suggest that more details make for better posts, so here it goes! My name is Chris Franklin and I am a 35-year-old Software...
