    I am on a personal goal to decrease caffeine reliance.

    MINDSET 
    Just finished reading this book. It was written in 1998 I think but I found it bloody fascinating and scary! I am 2 weeks into the author's recommended 60 days of no caffeine and definitely seen some benefits already (although I do really miss my coffee!) I didn't realise the author drinks one...

    Can this thread save your life, and perhaps countless others? Yes.

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Thanks for posting MJ. I lost my little brother because of a drunk driver and needless to say, it has had a devastating impact on my families life. Not a day goes by that I don't think what he could be today (he was training to become a vet and one of the brightest and bravest people I ever...

    Hitting a wall in the desert of desertion

    EXECUTION 
    I haven't tested it to be honest but I have seen very similar products do well in the market (or well enough) to know it should work. I would love to get some customers ready to buy, however I am in a tricky situation to be honest. There will be a conflict of interest with my employer if I...

    Hitting a wall in the desert of desertion

    EXECUTION 
    Can you relate to this scenario? I started my journey in to entrepreneurship in early 2020, just before the global pandemic started. I had been getting more and more sick and tired of my job as a sales rep for a software company for some time and decided to design my own product in the...

    The right time to quit a JOB

    MINDSET 
    This all makes sense, however I actually find myself in a scenario where I cannot launch my business until I quit my job as there would be a direct conflict with my employer. To deal with this I am ensuring I have more than 6 months runway and making sure the product is ready to go as close to...

    Fitness / Activity trackers. Your thoughts? Recommendations?

    HEALTH 
    I have a love-hate relationship with fitness trackers. I’ve owned a Fitbit Charge 2 and a Garmin Forerunner. My motivation levels and therefore activity definitely increase while using each device. I found the Garmin coach feature help me get into a good running routine/training schedule as I...

    Apple Watch... Yea or Nay?

    HOT! 
    Almost six years on and wearables like the Apple Watch seem to be going very strong. What do you think now @MJ DeMarco ? Has your opinion changed at all?

    Thoughts - The Social Dilemma [Netflix Documentary]

    HOT! SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Just watched this and found it really describes the issues well. I recently disabled all my social media and have been far more productive because of it. I won’t be going back on it until it changes fundamentally or I need to for business reasons. “If the product you are using is free then YOU...

    Energy suddenly vanished!

    MINDSET 
    I have been struggling with the same thing recently. I just revised chapter 28 of Unscripted and realised I am in what MJ calls the "desert of desertion". I am building a prototype for my first business and getting no feedback from the outside world while doing so. I've been doing this for...

    What do you think of this idea?

    IDEA 
    Interesting idea. A few thoughts/questions from me... You mentioned people can’t search for specific challenegs on social medIsn’t that wht hash tags are for? You will need a way to make your site go viral. Do you have plans on how to do that? How will you make money? Sell advertisement...

    Slowlaner making the shift to the Fastlane, but first... Intellectual Property Rights & Employment Contracts...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Thanks @standrews00 that’s much appreciated. The solicitor I spoke with seemed to think because I’m not creating IP in my current role I shouldn’t have a problem with this. I will also get their blessing but I think it will be easier to have that conversation after I leave the company to avoid...

    Slowlaner making the shift to the Fastlane, but first... Intellectual Property Rights & Employment Contracts...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Update on the above. So, I went to see an employment law solicitor today and it looks like I am ok to go ahead and start building a prototype while still working for my current employer. It turns out there are quite a few restrictions in my contract but they are all vague and limited to...

    Is a full-time commission sales job slow lane or fast lane?

    Definitely slowlane in my opinion. I’ve been in B2B sales for 8+ years and done well, earning good commission but to so you need to put in a lot of time and effort and your employer can pull the plug at any time. As a salesperson you also have no ownership of the company so you are not...

    Merging Into The Middle Lane: Best Industry For Sales Jobs?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I’ve worked in B2B software sales for 8 years. I’d highly recommend it as an industry if you can find the right company and it’s a good fit for you. Essentially I would like for a high growth industry, ideally a good niche and stay away from commodities of you can. The best way to cut your...

    HOT! 
    You can’t teach a kid to ride a bike at a seminar by David Sandler Amazing book about sales, business, psychology and success. I’ve read it twice and plan to read it regularly throughout my life.

    Slowlaner making the shift to the Fastlane, but first... Intellectual Property Rights & Employment Contracts...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Thanks, good point! I will definitely check with a lawyer before making anything official. That is if I decide to do this while employed. I may just quit my job and then start the business officially to avoid this issue and enable me to spend more time on it. Many thanks
