    Rucking. Carrying a backpack full of heavy stuff for long distances.

    HEALTH 
    Rucking is fantastic. Been doing it for 20 years. My advice is, start small. Walking with weight for distance is not the same as doing farmer s carries during a workout. Also, going up in weight isn't nearly as important as consistency. For example, you don't need to walk 3 miles with 300lb (an...

    The "$1K A Day" Test - Do You Have a Scale Problem?

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Yup you definitely want to increase AOV and/or include back-end sales. Those can include courses, supplemental materials, events (not entirely fastlane but I have clients who enjoy this part of their business), community (MRR), etc. You're on the right path. Just don't stop at the books!

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    Great lesson here! Doing the work that drives revenue is ultimately what matters. I can also second the sentiment to avoid red flag clients. I had way too many of those situations when I was younger and had to quickly learn how to filter them out. Also, another lesson from your thread that...

    24 Years old: QUIT six-figure Job, Launched two Businesses, Over $25M+ Sales

    GOLD! 
    This thread is better than most business books that only pump out platitudes. Super insightful when I first came across it years ago. Can’t wait for the update.

    Building a Following and Developing Relationships on Twitter

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Spot on. You nailed it with the target demographic and getting the best bang for your buck for who to target. Those people on Twitter really do spend a majority of their social media time there so they're more likely to see those ads.

    Now Live: The Fastlane Forum is fully private with a paid membership.

    HOT! IMPORTANT! 
    Great read. Definitely agree with all of those points. Less "freeple" clogging up the posts (I don't say that from an elitist stance either). The quality has improved significantly. Definitely a great case study on improving communities.

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Currently reading Paulo Coelho's Maktub. I read 2 books that changed my entrepreneurship journey at the same time. Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist Millionaire Fastlane by MJ That was a transformative summer for me. Will never forget it.

    Beware: The Revenue Razor and Return on Stress...

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    I've worked behind the scenes of many of these types of "gurus" to help them be more ethical in their marketing and make it more synced with the product. Needless to say, I've only worked with 1 where their claims backed up their results. Everyone else has nowhere near the profit they claim...

    Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

    HOT! MINDSET EXECUTION 
    GHL's way of marketing has no effect on the product. I've never seen any of their marketing. But using Billy Gene and "cult-like" events is just a form of marketing. They learned it from Russell Brunson who executed that incredibly. That has no effect on if the product is good or not. If the...

    Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

    HOT! MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Yeah honestly that's all you need. No reason to overcomplicate it for clients. GHL has some other stuff we do to integrate with social media, email and lead gen and plugging that into their overall sales pipeline if they just want an main suite. But for the most part, I don't recommend it to...

    Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

    HOT! MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I use GHL for clients. It's great. They all love it. It's just a combo of clickfunnels, activecampaign, messaging for social platforms, content scheduling, survey, calendar, and other software. It's nothing new. Just saves a bunch of subscriptions and allows you to combine them altogether and...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Yeah you definitely can. It really comes down to what you want to build and for what type of audience. If you want to do ghostwriting, then yes, definitely do twitter. If you want to build a solo-run online business, you can do it. Just know that it takes time. Give yourself 6 months. 1 year...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Twitter is fantastic for growing newsletters (depending on the niche). Sorry I haven't seen the rest of your posts to know your niche so forgive me. From 2020-early 2022 you could grow a massive Twitter brand very quickly. The algorithms really favored it in terms of tweet threads and the...

    Relatively Profitable Business You Can Start This Week

    EXECUTION 
    I worked in the same day delivery industry for a few years on the logistics side. There are plenty of companies in any metro looking for contractors to give work to because they have a ton of contracts with companies where they need items delivered (everything is B2B). We had self-employed...

    From podcasting to newsletters... the new HOT thing?

    HOT! 
    I actually know of a guy that has a really small podcast and a very tiny audience at the time of interviewing GaryVee. He went through the process of ordering books (or his wine... can't remember) in hopes for an interview. He knew Gary was going to be in his town for an event. Something about...
