Hi all,

I would like to discuss the following, since I haven't read anything on this issue in the millionare Fastlane book.

Me and 2 other co founders started a livestream concept in the recruitment market. If you want to know the exact ins and out of the idea let me know. I'm happy to share, since it is not about having the next outerspace golden idea. No, it's about execution. And that is where I need some advice. We already have some big players in the market where we will pilot/demo our product. They are willing to pay for it and we clearly fullfill a need, that's why we'll mvp it to gain speed and get valuable insights. We'll learn from them and use that info to up the product. After that we'll iterate the process over and over. However, I know for a fact that execution means that whatever time you have you must use to improve in whatever way possible. Talk to competitors, extend your network, read market insights or whatever. My two other co-founders do not clearly see that. They have families and a slowlane job to support them (as do I). I do not want to be reactive. Meaning that when the pilots succeed that's the next starting point to thing of the next steps. No, I want to be proactive and do whatever is possible to create value in this stage. That's how you create massive speed. Whenever I tell them we can (and should) do more they argue that they their time goes to their slowlane jobs to support their families. I disagree, since it all comes down to dedication and devotion. If you clearly see the opportunities and where this will go you see all time invested as something that will pay off. And if not, nobody died! I see that. They don't see that yet. So my question is 'how can I get them to see the fastlane ahead'. I will get them the millionare fastlane book for christmas. That's a step in the right direction, but I want to 'activate' their fastlane potential right away. Or should I let my actions speak?

Looking forward to read your comments. Thanks!
