    Dummy Guide To VALUE: Craft Million Dollar Offers And Great Relationships (Alex Hormozi: The 100 Million Dollar Man)

    MARKETING EXECUTION 
    I’ve read Alex Hormozi’s book twice within about 3 months. Second time to go through with greater detail and take more notes. Highly recommend it and Alex YT channel. He has a great way of breaking things down and making them easily understandable. Looking forward to his other books!

    Boring or Terrible Service Businesses that Have the Potential for Fastlaners...

    HOT! 
    Seems to me like your straying from your original post. You don’t have to re-invent the wheel and create an ‘Uber’ style business. I thought we were talking about conventional ‘boring’ service businesses here.

    Boring or Terrible Service Businesses that Have the Potential for Fastlaners...

    HOT! 
    I started a ‘boring/unsexy’ local service business 3 months ago. Actually I trialled it for 2 months, offered the service to 30+ people for free for 2 months. It’s a unique service business but it’s something we do on a monthly basis, or should do anyway. In the 3rd month now and I’m working on...

    You’re not selling wholesale?

    NOTABLE! 
    I've just had a somewhat small distributor/vendor enquire about my beauty product. I offered them 35% off RRP but they have suggested that they require 50% off RRP to make it work for them. Do you think it's worth accepting their offer or perhaps meeting them half way? I'm somewhat hesitant to...

    Best way to hire Business Development Person

    EXECUTION 
    The E-Myth book isn't a book for learning sales but a way of looking at your business differently, by building a system that can allow you to remove yourself from working in the business, i.e. the technician, which is what you said you are. It should help in that sense, but it won't teach you to...

    [AMA] Fastlane 201: How I Went From Self-Sustenance to More.

    GOLD! 
    It's the least I can do @Kak! You have inspired me both in this thread and by our phone conversation, to think bigger and push harder to reach my goal of being financially free from the slowlane. So as agreed here's the summary of our conversation, take note guys, lots of golden nuggets. (This...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Biophase, I'm just curious, do you run multiple eCommerce stores and multiple brands on Amazon? Btw, I'm personally glad Amazon changed their TOS regarding the discounts/giveaways for reviews. Anyone with a bit of cash can get hundreds of 'honest' reviews, but where's the creativity in that.

    Excellent reply! Wow that sounds like it could have been very promising. Indeed, I know that US gas prices are a lot lower than UK gas prices, so I can see why it might not be so feasible in US, but I have read that there's opportunities in India and South Africa and likely many other...

    Awesome thread Kyle! I notice you mentioned you used to be a broker in the energy industry. I've recently started doing some research on solar panels, bio-diesel, other sources of energy, which are all obviously increasing in popularity. I have ideas but not yet taken that step to find an...

    Tired of Scratched Sunglasses

    This could be brought to market easily, there really aren't any barriers to entry as someone stated earlier, just takes some research. I think you should look into it. if you don't, I will. Don't go off people's opinion, go off your own research and make your own judgement. If someone is...
