    Self-Doubt? This Is Your Competition

    MINDSET 
    I recently started learning French. To build the basics, I started with Duolingo which is a very fun and effective gamified platform for learning languages. It's so well-designed and addictive that learning feels like playing a game. It takes very little effort to study. You look forward to...

    Everything feels competitive and impossible?

    MINDSET 
    Hi guys! Short intro So back in 2016 (I'm 24 now btw), when e-commerce and dropshipping was exploding on YouTube, I decided to go with it at that time and made some really good dropshipping sites, earned a ton of profit and sold the sites again. All in all a total success. Afterwards I started...

    Competition between Entrepreneur Friends

    PEOPLE 
    I was thinking about two of my classmates back in the day in High School who were on the basketball team and top players. It's a story that always inspires me because they were on the same team for a time and then ended up as rivals playing when one was caught cheating on academics. He joined...

    Harsh Reality vs Pursuing Your Dreams

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    In the most glamorous, dream-driven niches, business models, or careers, the harsh reality is that very few people reach the top. For example, the vast majority of actors are broke. Most novelists make peanuts. Wannabe influencers will never reach the high level of success they expect. Most...

    Hey everyone, So I got into a discussion with a friend of mine and talking about Millionaire Fastlane and the ideas around it. Basically my friend is sold on the notion that whatever product you create / manufacture, it will get copied and aggressively competed with to eventually where the...

    Should I worry about getting crushed?

    So I have an idea that I believe is really good, viable, and helps people. It is something I would use, and I believe many other people would be interested in using. Of course, I dont want to say what that is, but it would save people $, and time. Let's just say I create a website with this...

    Competitor concern in a niche

    At what point would a competitor put you off entering a niche? I've been working on a particular niche for a few months now with samples back and forth but now that the time has come to place an order for products i'm reluctant to pull the trigger. There are a couple of reasons for this...

    A Room Full of Opportunity (Follow up on the darn leads!)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I have 2 stories to share. I think it's easy to get involved in the fastlane here, and start to lose sight of how most people in the world actually are, and hopefully you can realize that it isn't actually that hard to set yourself apart from most. It really just takes some legit effort and...

    If possible to provide an organically lower price for a premium service, is that a problem?

    MJ and others have discussed how "adding value" by undercutting competitor prices is a poor long term business model because it will become a battle for increasingly slimmer margins because of a price war. But what if your business model allows you to make profit while offering the same service...

    What to do when you find out your idea is taken

    IDEA 
    So I've been brainstorming what I believed was a really great idea, and something that currently did not exist. However, as I'm sure many of you have experienced, I found out today that there is already a company based around the idea I had and it functions very similarly to what I had imagined...
