    Okay great. Monday is a busier day for me, probably others too, so might I suggest the meetings on a Tuesday or Wednesday instead

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    CHAT - AI - 
    Thanks to GPT Astra I don't get involved in the details of computer work anymore. I just tell it what to do and supervise. It's like being a full-time manager and director. The only part it cannot do is cold calls and I have hired Africans for that. We'll see if they can get me digital...

    I'm justifying buying a supercar to join a supercar club. Is this a good move?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    People buy with emotion and justify with logic. Deep down you know this is what you are doing

    What businesses get a great response to Bandit Signs?

    MARKETING STORY 
    When I was selling a house on seller finance, bandit signs got me a great response and helped me move the house in two months. The down payment was lower than a traditional borrower, but I made the mistake of doing my first real estate deal in a renter heavy area. Bandit sign got me through it...

    Is human-verified business research still worth paying for when ChatGPT exists?

    IDEA 
    I would use AI to gather secondary research and then generate primary research yourself. Conduct surveys, interviews with recordings etc. AI is not quite there for that level of handoff.

    What is a good way to validate a SaaS before building it?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    I think it hurts micro SaaS on revenues more than it helps with costs. A Third of Companies Skipped Buying Software and Built It By next month I expect to be off GHL CRM ($97/mo prior) thanks to my own custom coded solution that fits us like a glove.

    What is a good way to validate a SaaS before building it?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS

    Journal of starting a Florida Lawn Care business

    EXECUTION 
    @JUAREZ nothing you said was wrong; you have to build the machine first. Even with my paid cold caller, I have to ensure she is doing the right actions. Yesterday we had a trial client tell us to move an appointment from 8am to 10am. I assumed she called the prospect back to reschedule; she...

    "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a STUPID book

    Agreed. Humans are more hierarchical than we care to admit. Take two guys: 1st guy follows one of these: "Praise even small improvement" or "Give sincere, specific appreciation." The other person he's speaking to thinks "that's a well adjusted, decent person" 2nd guy gives a lazy smile and...

    The Skool Chat Thread

    CHAT 
    I think it's great. In the past mentorships on their own website would go for like 300 to 500 dollars a month in the digital marketing space. On Skool.com thanks to competition, that cost has been driven down to around $50 to $150 dollars a month.

    Lead Generation for Medical Aesthetic Business

    EXECUTION 
    My game plan would be to learn Facebook ads. Join a few cheap Skool groups. I would also look into hiring a cheap Google Ads Manager for a couple weeks to a month max. Push him to help refine the offer strategy, negatives list, and phrase/exact match key terms being bid on.

    Picking ONE thing (web design) and going door-to-door to get clients — does this make sense?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    How do you get past the "why should I use you instead of Wix" objection?

    Did A Stable Career Kill My Entrepreneurial Drive?

    MINDSET 
    I was a software engineer making $160,000 a year prior to exiting that world. My pivot into entrepreneurship cut my income to ~10% of that. The positive trade off is that I now control my own schedule and live in Thailand, walk around as transport etc. I am poorer but healthier. At my old...
