You're right. This is something that won't happen to you.<br />
<br />
Focus on providing value to others. Solving problems. Specifically problems people will pay you to solve. <br />
<br />
Make sure you're getting paid enough to build a team. <br />

Basically, he was saying he has a bunch of ideas and doesn't know where to start. I've had this chat with several people lately, and thought I could expand on my thoughts in this thread.<br />
<br />
We have three constraints as business owners.<br />
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Time.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Money.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Knowledge.</li>
</ol>These constraints play on each other also.<br />
<br />
With money, I can "acquire" more time or knowledge by strategically hiring the right people. <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/4862/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="4862" data-username="@Kak">@Kak</a> and...</div>

I want to approach things from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Who are you helping to get rich?<br />
<br />
For me as a marketer, I'm helping my clients get rich. I know there's a lot of marketers on the forum, but that's not really what we're discussing here today.<br />
<br />
There's a tone to some of the back and forth on the forum. Should you be a soloprenuer? Should you build an enterprise? What kind of ethics do you need to get big? What kind of systems, processes, tools do you need to scale?<br />
