Hi all.

@Lawtiti (who changed his forum name to @Chet Shen) created a Meetup Thread a few days ago and had a Zoom call with @ZCP who gave advice on getting started etc.

I offered to do a Zoom where I'll go through some of the main things I think holds people back when getting started, and how to get over them.

Feel free to bring questions or ask them in this thread.

If you're interested in joining then just reply below.

I'll record it and post it to this thread.

It will start at 10pm Dublin time (9pm GMT I believe). Knowing me it will likely go on for more than an hour.

I started pulling some YouTube shorts out of this now. There's no need to pull funny faces when YouTube picks stills from your video as the thumbnail!

-What would you say to your 18 yr old self
- Is there something that you remind yourself everyday? What is it?
- What are some key factors to starting a business strong?
- How can us teenagers start to help people? And why?
- How do you help people and have a profitable business?
-What skills should every teenager learn before business?
- Does everything come naturally when you're in "momentum"?
-What's your advice on teenagers wanting to get rich quick as fast as possible?
I might change or add more questions but thats all i got rn

Questions
-What skills should a person acquire before starting a business?
Example: to avoid money-chasing.

-What do you think about Dropshipping as a path to acquire skills/provide value?
My gut: It feels like you shortcut the real progress and instead go for a quick buck.

-Scarcity mindset around money is a problem for me, is there a framework, or a way to look at money to remove it?

Can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday evening than hanging out with some future fastlaners.

Woah! Count me in.

Here are questions that came into my mind

What are some life changing resources / items under 100$ that made your life / business significantly better?

What advice do you wish that you would have heard sooner.

Most of the teen fastlaners never had a FTE, do you think its still possible to succeed without it? What is some advice to them?

What is the quote that more people need to hear.

What are some traits you see among people that guarantee failure? (in life / in business)

Is there something you disagree with that is in MJ's books?

Is there anything you would like to add to MJ's books that is essential for success?

What is commonly given out advice that you don't find helpful at all?



Looking forward to this. Thank you Andy!

What skills would you learn first if you were starting again?

What are the biggest mind shifts that made you successful?

Why people stay stuck on their path to fastlane and what to do to unstuck yourself?

Thank you :)

Would love to pop in, looks like the calendly isn't accepting new sign ups?
Fixed. I had a setting in Calendly where people couldn't book in within 4 hours of a meeting. I've removed that now.

10pm Dublin time is 4:00pm central, the meeting is starting in 2 hours right andy?
Yes, it's in about 95 mins.

The call is in about 90 mins.



I'm trying to keep a note of all the questions. I'll review them 30 mins before the call, after putting a couple of kids to bed.

From this thread and the replies to the Calendly questions:


What's your main question about getting started in business?
Already started, but curious how your mindset/business changed or needed to change as your business grew.

From starting out to hiring people under you and beyond there seem to be different “seasons” as Hormozi calls them.

When i started my business, i made things too complicated and did too much stuff that wasnt just helping people.

As ive grown, my business has actually gotten more simple because im focused on less. However, to hit the next level i think i need to start adding more channels and team memebers.

I think this discussion would be relevant to this talk because when people first start their business, there can be a lot of “I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING [XYZ COMPETITOR] DOES” feelings, when really you just need to start small and carefully grow. But being “bad” or “small” can be seen as a bad thing and throw people off. Or at least it did for me lol.

Thanks for organizing this call, I think a lor of people will benefit from it!
Is dropshipping/eCommerce a dumb shortcut that a lot of people try to take, avoiding the process and go for a quick buck?

At what point would you suggest someone quit their job if they want to enroll the fastlane? As a 20 year old with no responsibilities?
The initial starting point of a business after i have learnt my high value skill.
How to do the work that is required? (how do you defeat procastrination) ?
Do you need to be employed first to do a business?
I'm doing Web Design right now since I know I have the skills needed to add a lot of value to businesses. My main question is how I should do my prospecting and reach-out for my first few clients. I also currently have a lot of time on my hands (summer vacation) so I also am not sure what exactly I should be spending my time on.
How do I know if my business has a good score on MJ's CENTS framework? I feel the need for control and certainty so much that I don't take action unless I'm absolutely sure I will get positive feedback.
-What're some mistakes you see most fastlaners do when they're starting out?
-What would you say to your 18 yr old self
- Is there something that you remind yourself everyday? What is it?
- What are some key factors to starting a business strong?
- How can us teenagers start to help people? And why?
- How do you help people and have a profitable business?
-What skills should every teenager learn before business?
- Does everything come naturally when you're in "momentum"?
-What's your advice on teenagers wanting to get rich quick as fast as possible?
-What skills should a person acquire before starting a business?
Example: to avoid money-chasing.

-What do you think about Dropshipping as a path to acquire skills/provide value?

-Scarcity mindset around money is a problem for me, is there a framework, or a way to look at money to remove it?

What advice do you wish that you would have heard sooner.

What skills would you learn first if you were starting again?

What are the biggest mind shifts that made you successful?

Why people stay stuck on their path to fastlane and what to do to unstuck yourself?


What's your biggest struggle at the moment?
Disclipline and letting go.
Creating systems that consistently and profitably bring on happy customers
Don't know if the path that I'm currently on will get me to where I want. (Quit job, 23k saved, SleepMask eCom business)
How ill integrate my skills into the world of business properly. I want to engage more actively instead of being more passive through things like reading.
Being focused, i keep getting distracted. How can you achieve extraordinary level of focus.
Juggling studies with business
Prospecting, reaching out to people and trying to get them to say yes.
"afraid" to just take action to get started, planning only instead of going out there and getting market feedback/validation, and executing the process.
