    MINDSET SCALING EXECUTION 
    I’m starting to get second thoughts about my software developer. As we dig into the project, I’m starting to see that it’s going to be much more work than one person can do in a reasonable amount of time. It doesn’t help that he is sloppy in his presentation, and doesn’t have a ton of...

    View: https://youtu.be/jaOS6bGta7M?si=j6FIB0wYD_mRfPd6 Anyone seen this video? It’s interesting. Kind of seems like people in the vid are hoping for some kind of regulatory action, which probably won’t do any good. I feel like there’s opportunity for companies to compete with repairable...

    It’s been a minute, and I’ve had some struggles, but I’m a few weeks away from having something to show potential investors. The biggest hurdle for me, embarrassingly, is my personal finances. I just waste money on stupid shit. I could really benefit from an accountability partner in that...

    CENTS: the Control commandment in relation to mobile apps

    QUESTION 
    I think it’s true for the majority, but one app comes to mind that violates this: the RP Hypertrophy app from Renaissance Periodization. You have to get access to it from their website only, it’s not in the App Store. And I’m fairly certain they are selling quite a few, the YouTube channel is...

    I’m shifting away from the consulting and focused on the aforementioned Fastlane product. It is a software and hardware product. I’m not able to code, but I’ve hired someone from my network to do it for me and I’m simultaneously learning to code so I can contribute to my own software eventually...

    I worked as a boat/ship Captain most of my life

    INTRO 
    Welcome aboard! Lol After you read the books you’ll see more opportunity, probably within your existing skill set and trade knowledge. The stuff you mentioned usually benefits the people who sell courses about them. So don’t abandon ship just yet on your trade (pun totally intended)

    It looks like you’re starting to get somewhere op, but heavy is trying to point something out to you that you aren’t seeing. As unpleasant as his comments are to read, you’d do better to reflect inward, and see if there’s any truth to what he’s saying. Are you focused on yourself and providing...

    Well if you’re going to be an amoral douche then I hope you fail. I’m not screwing anyone over, and the more successful people I’ve met didn’t have to either.

    But how does that change anything for you? Are opportunities still opportunities? Will you see more of them or less of them focusing on what someone else is doing?

    I’m not sure you understand the difference. Think about income sources that scale vs those that do not. Obviously there’s more to it than that, but that’s the gist. He saw an opportunity and took action. Can you not see opportunities anywhere? Maybe they aren’t online. Where his seminars and...

    Had an epiphany recently when I was negotiating with one of our vendors, and I’ve been working on something that could be a possible fastlane for me. I’ve realized that I’ve actually divulged a lot of info on this thread, so I’ll keep the details to myself for now. Maybe I’ll start an insiders...

    Leaving Family Business to Pursue New Skills... Am I forsaking the right thing to do?

    Welcome to the forum! I have worked with my family for many years off and on. The guilt of leaving will be strong for a while, especially if they depend on you. Is there a way you can help them part time until they get a replacement? You say you don’t do anything special and that the business...

    Most of the safety stuff has improved greatly over the past few months. I’m seeing more interest in this sort of thing from employees than I would have expected I recently went to a trade convention, it was incredible to see new technology and hear new ideas. I talked with so many people. Walked...

    What if you never get a FTE?

    MINDSET 
    You’re allowed to take action before having an FTE, it isn’t a prerequisite. An FTE might not be a magical event so much as it is a paradigm shift. Have you decided that you’re going to change your life and become Unscripted? Or have you decided that your comfort is going to keep you from taking...

    Choose an industry/skillset and stick with it

    ASSERTION 
    I have seen similar results in a round about way after finally focusing on the industry that I grew up with rather than trying to run away from it. I still have a "job" (family business that lets me do whatever), but since committing to it I've seen a ridiculous amount of opportunity that is...

    24 yr old Interested in Acquisition Entrepreneurship

    INTRO 
    You said you have been successful with sales, could this be the value you add to a purchased business? Just because you aren’t an expert in sales shouldn’t stop you from adding value, especially if you’re competent in the area that needs improved. I also am interested in acquisition. I’ve been...

    Have I joined the fast lane? Or is this another bad move

    MINDSET 
    Entrepreneurship is not going to help. You need to talk to someone who can help, likely a therapist.
