    Who are your favorite influencers/content creators to follow on LinkedIn?

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    To preface, I've been cutting out a lot of my social media consumption aside from Instagram (to get ideas for my ecommerce store and just good video/visual content in general) and LinkedIn (especially since I use it for B2B connections). I also know that there's a glut of really low-quality...

    Are you a positive-sum game entrepreneur or zero-/negative-sum game?

    QUESTION 
    So I've been really diving deep into applied game theory and it's got me thinking about a whole bunch of stuff. But there's a pattern of behavior I've noticed in every entrepreneurial or business networking group/community/forum I've spotted where people behave in one of two ways: They either...

    Anyone here belong to a fraternity?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Whether active or alum. I belonged to Sigma Nu back in the day.

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    If so, what games have you been playing lately? ALSO, I'm acutely aware a lot of people here get weirdly vocal about games and how tHeY jUsT wAsTe tImE and aNy gOoD eNtRePrEnEuR sHoUlD oNlY fOcUs oN wOrK. This thread ain't for you. Please spare me the sigma nonsense. I only ask because a good...

    What's Your Advice on Traversing the Desert of Attrition?

    EXECUTION 
    Lately, I know a lot of what I'm doing (direct lead generation through cold calling/personal networking and then paid advertisement) requires time to work. Perhaps I'm impatient. But I suppose my biggest struggle is figuring out how to suss feedback out of the void -- the orange echo gumballs...

    Power Phrases: Tools for Marketing and Self-Development

    MARKETING MINDSET 
    I've rambled a bit about my struggle with depression and how that really killed a lot of my progress from when I started my entrepreneurial journey to today. Since I was a kid (and later as an adult), I've been bounced around in different therapist chairs, on all sorts of different...

    Why I Work on 2.5 Projects Simultaneously

    Before I begin, I'll preface that I know working on multiple projects at once is sinful; it's better to do one thing really well than multiple things mediocre. That was my reality for the better part of my 20s and yeah, I was a dumbass for it. But looking back, I've chalked it up as necessary...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Since my progress diary on my e-commerce website has been pretty useful to keep me on task (that and I love reading through some of the progress threads on here and seeing people be successful), I figured I'd do one for my content strategy business as well. "Metz, you foolish fool, why are you...

    Learning How to Get Out of My Own Way: Growth, Stagnation, and Rebuilding Momentum

    EXECUTION RANT 
    I've already talked about my background at length in other posts so I'll spare y'all of the redundancy. To sum up though, I started dabbling in freelancing when I was 20, became fully self-employed around 22-23, had a hell of a shitty year in 2018 when I was 26, and now finally at 29, I've been...

    Need Help Honing My Business Focus (Written Content Production and Strategy)

    As the title suggests, I feel like I'm stuck in a loop that I haven't been able to get out of on my own. The irony is that I'm awesome at helping other businesses and freelancers really hone in on what to focus on when it comes to their processes and marketing, but because I'm so familiar with...

    My First Foray Into Ecommerce

    EXECUTION 
    ENTRY 0. So since we're at the eve of starting a new month, I figured now's a nice clean slate to begin keeping track of my progress into a new venture: ecommerce. A bit of backstory: I'm a freelance writer with an emphasis on organic SEO. I've helped friends and clients either set up websites...

    How do you market a book on Amazon effectively?

    MARKETING 
    As the title suggests, I just published my first book on Amazon though I'm unsure how to market it. Granted, I'm used to reading over analytics and doing keyword research and SEO... so I've done my homework for when I set up the listing, including categories, specific keywords, and then the...

    How Do You Find and Sort Through Opportunities?

    Despite the subject being written as one question, I'm really asking two. First, I like to think I'm pretty good at spotting opportunities; I know the basic math of "problem + demand for solution + I am/can be capable of providing solution = viable opportunity" and have a list of them yet...

    Hey, Friends!

    INTRO 
    Hey there, everyone. I'm Tony. I'm 27, live out in the Pacific Northwest, am a writer/digital media specialist... and to be honest, I can't remember how I stumbled upon The Millionaire Fastlane but I'm glad I did. I've been self-employed since I was 22 though dabbled in freelancing here and...
