Alrighty all, here's my inaugural attempt at a thread, and I think it's a helpful one for myself and for others.

After reading MJ's book, I find myself musing :smx4: on the idea of a producer mentality, and the "find a need and fill it" strategy, assuming it meets the N.E.C.S.T. formula (Need, Entry, Control, Scale, Time)

So I'd like to find out from those out there who have already build a FastLane Business :smxF: , or those who have proven models that have potential :groove: how the "need" was discovered, where the inspiration came from, and if there were any mental habits you were engaged in to be tuned in to needs that were out there.

Selfishly I'm looking to train my brain to recognize a need that also passes the N.E.C.S.T. test so I'd love the feedback. After all I know that opportunity is taken by those that are prepared, so I'd like the backdrop of the preparation for anyone who cares to contribute.
