    EXECUTION 
    Over a year on since my last post, WOW! While the world hasn’t changed dramatically in that year and I haven’t done everything I wanted to, I’m pleased to say it HAS been a year of progress and action. My full-time job has been mentally taxing and draining at times, I’ve not enjoyed it and...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I enjoyed that book. Loved the concept of the "memory dividend" that experiences pay. Gave me a different perspective on the cost of experiences. Suddenly things that cost thousands seemed cheap when I thought about the joy they provided not just in the moment but for the months and years after.

    EXECUTION 
    Not posted in a while, so just a quick update to keep myself accountable more than anything. My foraging courses have gone well but due to the nature of foraging (not so much to forage for once you get into November) I have just wrapped up my final course for this year. I have managed to get a...

    Using Short Videos to Grow Your Business

    HOT! CHAT 
    Had someone on a course I ran at the weekend who said they found me on YouTube via a short I'd done. These short videos work! I'm really enjoying the process of producing short videos. It will definitely make my long videos better, as I've been amazed at how much stuff I might say in a video...

    Using Short Videos to Grow Your Business

    HOT! CHAT 
    Be under no illusion you are providing a lot of value to a lot of people by documenting the process! I know what you mean about hooks, it probably is people not using them naturally or just "trying too hard" to capture attention at the beginning and making it look a bit ridiculous. Sometimes...

    Using Short Videos to Grow Your Business

    HOT! CHAT 
    Great thread (and related "figuring out" threads), loving the learnings about short videos. As a result I'm going to try scripting out some short videos, and also look into doing such videos around answering common questions in my niche. I will also use a teleprompter to keep me on track. I...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Feels like all platforms are, it’s like we are seeing a gold rush towards video and especially short form video across all platforms!

    EXECUTION 
    Advertised on Airbnb as a private "experience" and got my first booking for a course that I completed on Tuesday for three Australians over here on holiday. It went well and got my first review (5 stars too which was nice). Had an organic enquiry for a course in October by some people...

    Can Passion be Good in Entrepreneurship?

    QUESTION 
    Passion is needed over the long run but as MJ says, that passion comes from your value being appreciated and the money you make in the process. Following a passion and making little money from it will provide far less enjoyment and “passion” in the long run than a “boring” business that makes...

    Hello Guys! Can You give me a feedback on my First Article? Thanks

    IDEA 
    Yes of course, though it's probably easier to direct you to my recently started execution thread for those details. I was on my way to financial freedom in my mid to early twenties when unfortunately I went down the dark path of trading and then outright gambling on the financial markets. Cost...

    Lack of quality for service 2022

    RANT 
    Yes I’ve noticed this too, was speaking to my best friend about it a few weeks ago. Even today, I’m finishing up a house move and went to get a takeaway for lunch (don’t normally have takeaways so don’t judge!) and the woman their was so disinterested. Even her thank you was said begrudgingly...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Great summary and insights, thank you! The last part of point 6 made me think of James Jani - pure quality over quantity. Obviously if you CAN have both then that will be even better, but I do think quality is more important than just churning videos out regularly at the sacrifice of quality...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Looks a great tool, however personally I wouldn’t want to watch a video that is only audio and transcript. I’d rather just listen to the pure podcast version, or read the transcript as a blog-like article. As I understand it, you can only listen to the video (without having the video loaded on...

    Thank you so much for the response and advice, massively appreciated and sorry for relatively late response, for some reason I missed it and not checked my thread for a week or so! I have recently just started a YouTube channel so that’s in motion…trying to focus on shorts as that seems to be...

    Log: Finding My Fastlane On-Ramp

    EXECUTION 
    I can see the conversation has moved on now but for the record I have been doing some flyers and found the enquiry rate (most of which have converted to sales) to be around the 1 in 100 mark, however my proposition and niche is totally different so hard to compare. I do agree with what others...

    Should i proceed with this execution?

    EXECUTION 
    Unless you have other better ideas in the pipeline, I'd say go for it as it is far better to do something (even if not a good CENTS based business) than nothing. You will learn so much, and if it doesn't work out or even if you decide to stop after a month because you suddenly get a better idea...

    I enjoyed this viewpoint and after reading it gave myself the challenge of turning a 9 minute 30 second video into a 1 minute or less video that could then go on Tik Tok/Youtube Shorts etc. Was tough but I managed it - yes it wasn't as detailed and a few things I couldn't expand on but my word...

    Off we go

    EXECUTION 
    First two foraging courses went well overall, except on the first one when I effectively set off without two customers as I didn't even know about them - long story involving an Eventbrite f**k up but suffice to say, it worked out ok in the end, they still enjoyed the course despite missing the...
