    Automatically message/connect to new LinkedIn page followers?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks but this report only shows you the job function, a calendar on when you received followers, their location etc. as an analytics dashboard. They do not provide the name, job title, company, date that they followed you or link to their profile. That's something you have to do manually on...

    Automatically message/connect to new LinkedIn page followers?

    MARKETING 
    Hi, I noticed as an admin of a company page on LinkedIn I can see my new followers every day, is there an automatic way for a personal account or a company account to connect and send a message to the new followers? Or maybe to export a list of name, company and job title every 24h and add it...

    Training engineers into industrial salesman

    IDEA 
    great, thanks for sharing! indeed i see both agles working out. i felt the general sales courses are good and all, but then it's difficult to go and get a job. The course may be on selling but not necessarily how to sell to industry and how to transition from engineering to sales (mindset)...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    You've laid it out better than I could. I think the main difference in my situation now than when I was 18 years old is that back then I could envision myself making 24-50k/year out of a job. However now I know I can get 150-250k out of a job potentially, so there's more opportunity cost as you...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    I agree, and that would be the way I'd most likely start a business. However most people can't compare to an alternative of an executive job paying 200-300k a year with employee benefits (holiday, insurance etc.) with 0 upfront investment. If I'm going into it it's going into it for something...

    Training engineers into industrial salesman

    IDEA 
    Hi there, i've been long thinking about a business model that fulfills CENTS, has relevancy with myself and speaks to a market that I know. I started out as an engineer, later on I was in marketing for industrial products and machinery and eventually became a head of sales and marketing...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    Your observation is totally correct. However there's a caveat... similar to investing. When you make 30,000 a year and you put 10,000 on the line it does not seem like much. Once you make 300,000 a year but you play with 100,000 it feels like a fair amount of money. There's more to be made but...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    I have read it a few years ago! I reckon I can always make more money and that's why i'm questioning the use of my time now in my early years given the fact that I can afford my lifestyle without having to work for a good 10 years. That's what fastlane is all about, but I got there without the...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for the perspective! That's the thing, for the past couple of years my investments made me way more than my salary did. I know the market does not behave the same forever but my savings rate/contribution to investmetns for the past two year would've had a relatively insignificant impact...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for your point of view! Thing is the "me" from 10-15 years back would think highly of the hustle, not at all as slavery. However, nowadays I still enjoy solving tough cookie problems for a living, it's just that the perception and fulfillment from it has vanished given my financial...

    Executive vs Fastlane vs Retire Early

    MINDSET 
    Hi there, I have come to a few realizations over the past years on my way to F*ck You Money. However, right now I am stuck thanks to having achieved financial independence and potentially retire early at 32 years old through a relatively normal corporate/executive job. Let me explain: Whilst...

    A conservative take on "F*ck this event" and retiring early

    MINDSET SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Hi there, this post goes to shed some light on a not so radical take to fastlane. Most likely useful for those satarting out in their careers, hopefully there's some useful tips. TLDR: I am 30 years old and just quit my job with enough savings to live for 20 years, I will enjoy a "fastlane"...

    Community, in a post from last week I presented you the idea of teaching business skills to engineers. After doing a few interviews I found that the market may have a bigger pain, earning more money. See idea #3 below. This revelation (solving a problem is more important than coming up with an...
