"Tell me the exact steps" (OK, here are all 67 of them.)

[Johnny boy]

It's never once felt like a "fail" it's always just been a "setback" or "hiccup". You start a business and have trouble getting it setup = hiccup. You try to get some customers and your ads suck and it's back to the drawing board to acquire customers = setback. Etc. It's all just a bunch of problems but I've never once thought for a second "oh shit, we totally failed!" The only thing I could call a failure was quitting things that weren't working. Even then that's just me changing my mind on going after that one idea, not failing.

Which shopping cart should I use for step 38?

Also, what if they don't have the right color Ferrarri when I'm ready to buy?

Tai Lopez told me that if I watch his 67 steps everyday, pay him $67 a month, and believe in the law of attraction, I can be rich in 6 months. Wish me luck guys!

"It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes." - Warren Buffett

This is a big key in my life. I've had that theory all my life and always try to avoid making the same mistakes as everyone else, but at the same time, you can become to cautious, and have to just accept you're going to make mistakes, and through making mistakes, the answers come with the territory.

I used to think if I just avoided certain things, I wouldn't have to face certain oppositions. lol And you find out in every opposition you don't want to face, you must face, overcome every fear, do it even if you are screaming and kicking all the way through the movement, action, and execution.

It's kind of actually funny when you think about it. You have your greatest imaginary fears, the big giant in your imagination, and you're very creative with creating all the Villain's, and you get on the other side, and it's kind of like oh there was not really a Giant there, nor was there an enemy. Sometimes you make small mistakes, other times big mistakes. Other times, you see how stupid you were to listen to the wrong people, and should've trusted yourself. I think this is all part of becoming a leader.

The external world to a certain point is the blind leading the blind. So if you're self-doubting yourself by listening to people who never been there before, it's kind of wasting your time and energy. The other key is surrounding yourself with Entrepreneurs who are all ahead of you and challenge you to catch up. If you're focused on the one's behind, you'll just fall backwards and get delayed, worse case scenario. In my experience you can't avoid anything in life for to long. You can try, fight it, struggle with it, beat yourself up over it, argue with yourself, argue with others, debate, be opinionated, stubborn, but bottom line, you will just have to get over all that immaturity, grow up, and face the music.

 

[mercenariez]

This thread is bull. I made it to Step 67 and still no succeed. I failed again and again, first an e-commerce t-shirt store with my very own logo designed on Microsoft Paint, then a book I spent one whole week on (not one but TWO drafts), then a jewelry store on etsy!!!

Sure I skipped some steps here and there (“learn” and “adjust”??? C’mon I dropped out of college like Gates and Zuckerberg son, I’m a prodigy), but I was promised a Lambo at Step 67. Where’s my Lambo (red)??? I want a refund on this book (pirated)!!!

 

[Mr.Chaos]

At which step should I acquire a business partner? I'm thinking form the llc around step 3? Please more details and examples.

Thanks MJ!

/s

 

[Ayanle Farah]

I feel good because I'm on step 6.

 

[458]

Yeah, pretty much failing on a daily basis, if you really wanna look at it like that. Mostly just learning, not bankruptcy.

 

[Dan_Fastlane]

add: Step 4. Learn and read the book again!

 

[Roli]

Bless you, I actually started a thread on my failed executions prior to posting this. Up until your post, I would have said my biggest failure was convincing people to anaylse why it went wrong.

I've learnt that my writing tone may be the biggest issue for me, so now I'm working on that.



I don't know why though.

OK, perfect let's tackle things one at a time.

1. Not getting people to analyse why it went wrong.

A possible reason for this is simple formatting - I went to your failed executions post and you have stuffed everything you have done in there in a haphazard and unintelligible way.

Remember simple headers and well spaced (not too long) paragraphs make it easier for someone to read.

Also (and this relates to tone), you need to give a clear indication of what it is you want, both in the title of your post, and within the post itself.

Right, let's dive in.

You wrote - "Tried to get work building simple apps/software remotely (only get offers for free or commission, maybe in the future but that's not for me right now) can't compete on price on upwork etc."

Maybe you could change that to

Remote Work - Building Simple Apps

I have tried to get work building simple apps and software remotely, the reason being because [insert experience skills/value proposition, and summary of relevant personal circumstance here].

In order to make this happen I have used the following strategies:

1. Did XYZ

2. Did ABC

3. Did JKL

Results:

1. Got offered to do some free work from number 1 and 3 strategies

2. Got offered commission only work from number 2 strategies.

Conclusion:

My thoughts are this is a dead end, and I can't think of any more strategies in this area. However I'm willing to hear what you think about this.

I'd greatly appreciate any help with this.

-

So my guess is, if you went back through your failed executions post and formatted it in a similar way to this, you will get a whole bunch of educated answers on why your particular strategies may have failed.

Also as you're writing them out, it will help you to better judge what you've been doing and how you have been going about it.

It wouldn't surprise me if while you are detailing your process in this very methodical way, you arrive at your own conclusions as to why certain things aren't working, and possibly even how to change things around.

If so great, make those conclusions part of your summing up for the particular execution you're talking about, and ask for opinions on your thoughts.

Lastly change the title of the post (make a new post) to something along the lines of Need Help Learning From My Mistakes, or Need Help Analysing Failed Executions.

You get the idea, make it clear that you are going to list what you have been doing, that it isn't working, and you want help reversing that trend.

So in conclusion, you need to be clear with your questions, and you need to format your posts in a way that doesn't fatigue the reader.

Lastly don't use verbal shortcuts like; "...this could be a $20 million dollar rollup." As this isn't really clear as to what you mean and what possible advice you want from this.

Let's do another one, that was fun

 

[Mircea Toma]

I think that the best thing to do is to be obsessed with your process, your journey and act every day towards your goal. Never stop, attack relentlessly your goals until you get your desired success!

I know it sounds ridiculous but I printed out this exact blueprint for entrepreneurial success and I'm finding it one of the best step by step blueprints I've ever seen in my life. The pure simplicity makes it hit home and provide more motivation and value to me than 98% of all the books I've ever read!

 

[Argue]

Like they say in the hood, you a real one!

And here's another important point...

Even after reaching #35 (SUCCESS!) the process starts ALL over again.

Except next time, it might not be 35 steps long, but only 12 steps long. The fact is, no one has a 100% success rate. Even the VC billionaires don't succeed 100% of the time (if they did, ALL of their investments would make fortunes and go public) -- they endure the same process, albeit their learning curve is much shorter.

The next time the process gets shorter(12 steps instead of 35) as you get more experienced.

Building on your example, the process would also be longer than 35 steps for some people.

In your opinion, what is the difference between two people with zero experience starting from step 1(read the book) and one person's journey ends at step 35(Success) while the other at step 70?

 

[V8Bill]

Yep, that's what a "4ing" is. Step 4 is learn.

Is it possible to complete all 35 steps and make my first milli in the next 6 mos before my 19th birthday? What's the exact timeline, in days, of each of these 35 steps? Dammit, DeMarco, I signed up for your free forum, you owe me this!

You guys are frickin HILARIOUS!! I love this place ;-)

The squinting is key!

 

[ApparentHorizon]

Step 4 is where I'm getting stuck. Can I fail? Sure. Do I learn from those failures? Nothing that helps me.

Look up what other people are doing in a similar situation, or ask the forum.

Trial and error is a rough way to learn. You may have to make the same mistakes multiple times to figure out the answer.

[Mattie]

I think for me I've been brought up in Michigan. This is so weird for me in 2018, because when you live in a certain area all your life, you take it for granted. You kind of have everything right in front of your eyes, but you can be so blind. I've always been surrounded by Entrepreneurs, famous people, and I didn't really ever think about because I was so used to living in my own world.

When you're standing outside of it, and in the Netherlands for five years around farmland and animals, and finding this forum, it kind of was an eye opener. if you watch the show Under the Radar Michigan, you can watch all about our Entrepreneurship all over the state. So this is the funny thing. M.J. moves out of his area, creates his empire.

I did move to the Netherlands hoping to do the same. lol And while I'm here, this is kind of ironic, because I find the forum and his books, but ha ha...this is the twist in my experience. Now I'm headed back home for the simple reason I see the opportunity was right in front of my face my entire life. So that being said, as you stated, "You can't see who the Entrepreneurs are?" Are you an M.J. or Mattie?

 

[msufan]

I did both, see my thread failed executions feedback I got was;

I live in an area that's too small(well I can't build it bigger) with poor transit and I don't have a driving license there's vanishingly small responses on keywords like rural area, remote location , fly over country, low population density, so it's hard to find an example of someone who is in a similar situation. While there are online sales items that's not the same when they are going to the retail stores, picking them up and selling them online. Or if they got the idea networking.

Need to network, (well there's nothing I can reach physically and Twitter,LinkedIn etc has not paid dividends for me.)

I need to find a way to reach a 'starving crowd' online, (well yes. Working on the how. Maybe forums.)

I need to know the answer to how can I find, appeal to, connect with clients who would like to pay more to get more, and they have a good reason to see me as better than the world's cheapest commodity?

(Well, yes. That would be really great)

My ideas are too disruptive (ok) I need to look at make money companies, and get something small going. (Alright, so how I can get something small going is the next question, I try thinking of make money business but it doesn't work,all I see is nails)

Take any action(that's what I'm doing)

Go mow local lawns (what lawns?)

"Excuse"(because I want to obey the law)

"Landfill"

My marketing and sales isn't good enough (okay, well how can I improve? I've been reading threads and started writing copy and I just sound terrible)

I'm too angry (what?!)

Your post sounds like occasional conversations I have with my 5-year old.

Her: "I can't think of anything to do!"
Me: "Maybe you'd enjoy playing outside?"
"It's too hot outside!"
"Maybe we could read a book together?"
"I don't want to!"
"Maybe you want to draw with your art supplies?"
"I can't think of anything to draw!"
"Do you think you could use a nap?"
"NOOO!"
"Well, what do you think you want to do?"
"I don't know!!"

At some point I have to give up trying to help my daughter and just let her sort it out herself.

 

[BrazenFoxx]

Loving this! I've been a project manager for several years and the best laid plans are filled with failures to learn from, you adjust and move on so quickly that you barely notice the failures. Deming's Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle. I know this method is going to work... heading back to the book again to begin my journey of discovery.

Step 73: Sell Lamborghini, buy Tesla.

 

[KSR]

Sounds like my last week of day trading.

I step 3ed by fooling myself there was going to be a cool summary of actual steps (I'll admit it - but seriously...have you learned anything here Bill?! - sigh), instead I got a good old fashion 4ing.

But did you learn anything in the process?
