    Breaking News: The tool doesn't matter, the results it delivers DOES.

    ASSERTION 
    A picture is worth a thousand words, so let’s start with a picture of this $20 million mega-mansion. This opulent house is meticulously built with every conceivable luxury: imported stone, marble, and a seamless home automation system that lets you live like a modern-day king. Even if you...

    Don't dismiss it: There's big Fastlane cash in local/regional businesses.

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, but that wouldn't be the target market. It would be busy restaurants, gas stations, and places that don't have a lot of idle time. Every public bathroom I'm in, 3 out 4 of them are disgusting.

    Don't dismiss it: There's big Fastlane cash in local/regional businesses.

    EXECUTION 
    I posted an idea a few years ago about bathroom cleaning services. You contract with gas stations, restaurants, and public places to clean their bathroom daily. Systematize the entire thing. Labor is cheap. Recurring business. Huge markets on every street corner.

    Yep, hit the page "Contact Support" -- and then it sends you to a FAQ page and a stupid AI bot that is no better than the MS paperclip. I got into a dispute with Bubble because of the games they play with "support" and making cancellation impossible, followed by non-human "don't contact us"...

    A Fastlane Test - What is Your Locus Of Control?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    When you put Internal/External locus through the prism of wealth accumulation, here is the results: External locus: I'll get rich with stocks, crypto, and gold. (Waits, prays, hopes....) Internal locus: Ill get rich with my own business. (Acts, assesses, adjusts...)

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    I was reading a post about Google Ads and thought to myself, I can't remember the last time I clicked on a Google Ad. The only time I would do it would be if I was searching for a local company (@Andy Black style). That said, Google does have money through my Gemini subscription. Curious...

    People perceive their problems to be one of business ... I don't know how to code, I don't have an idea, I don't have funding, I don't have this or that... These are actually problems of the mind. The hardest prison to escape is not of that your culture, but of one's mind. Your actions...

    There is also a mystique factor as well, another window of opportunity. The first few feature length movies done completely with AI will carry with it impressive curiosity. People will likely watch out of disdain or with an intent to criticize and then finish, only to say, “wow, that was...

    I remember having similar debates about Wordpress 15 years ago. Can you build a Fastlane business on Wordpress? I said YES and the same applies today. Why? Because value is color-blind. If you build something valuable that solves problems or entertains, people aren't going to care if it was...
