So here's my current problem: Myself: Im still trying to figure things out.. Im working at a job I don't like but saving every € I earn. I have about 10.000 saved to invest...

    What I have come to learn after analyzing numerous businesses and successful people that are actually happy. Finding a need doesn’t actually matter. Let me explain. Stop wasting countless hours searching for a need 1) Do we need another.. Clothing brand Smoothie Shop Singer Web Design Agency...

    MINDSET 
    I recently quit my dayjob, and can´t help but feeling to lose ground especially after pursuing a rather passionate project. Here I would like to discuss thoughts on Maslow´s hierarchy as they relate to the Unscripted philosophy and how they can shape our priorities. Physiological Needs -...

    I’m not Executing Properly (Need Help, Little Success in the Fastlane)

    MINDSET 
    Yes you heard it right, 29 going on 30, and landing a man on Mars seems more hopeful then my chances reaching the fastlane. My long story (can skip to TL:DR): TL:DR: Read unscripted and TMF, vehicle is primed and fueled, yet no success. Why? Maybe because I haven’t executed properly or have...

    Finding Needs/Wants

    Okay, so this is where I'm stuck. I purchased the insiders subscriptions manly in the hope that it would give me some good ideas needing execution. There is nothing immediately viable though. Although I really want needs rather than solutions. So whats the ideal need? It is: A problem or item...

    New Skill Unlocked: The Sight (Level 2: Business Potential)

    MINDSET 
    Since reading TMF I've been shifting attention to the needs of those around me. What are they saying? What are they communicating? What do they want? What could I help them with?

    How Bad Do You Want It? Really Bad, yet I'm Stuck in Park!

    3:43 P.M. I’ve had it. Literally just screamed “f this” to the top my lungs! Read TMF and Unscripted, understand the 5 fast lane commandments, engine is primed and fueled, but I’m missing something. What that is, I don’t know (execution?). I’ve had enough, and it’s time to hit the fastlane and...

    What came first...the market or the problem?

    My group and I were having a discussion about what come first; the market or the problem? If the market came first you are able to target a specific customer with a specific problem but you could be alienating other possible problems you can solve. (I choose this route) What do you think? I...

    PUBLISHING 
    For me, my question is related to writing a book intended to be a guide for consumers. That is why I posted it where I did. The fact is, this question applies to everything that is sold to consumers, so it applies to just about everyone here. What questions do you ask yourself to see through...
