    A New Path to the Fastlane - App Development

    EXECUTION 
    Good idea, once you get the ball rolling you might want to integrate features from the apps you will be competing with. First things first though I think you should identify the core feature and publish the app as a minimum viable product. After the app is published then you can add new...

    No Better Time To Get Ahead

    MINDSET 
    There have never been more sidewalkers. Hell, it seems like less and less people are even in the slowlane. But if nobody is on the road, that means it's wide open for you. In a world where the average American is spending 7 hours a day on a device, out of shape, with no direction in life, it...

    Developing Your Personality

    MINDSET 
    For the most part I agree. What I mean to say is that development of the social skills is an important aspect of being a well-rounded sales / businessperson. Part of the same skill tree if you want to look at it like that. And when I say "social life" I don't mean it in the degenerate partying...

    Developing Your Personality

    MINDSET 
    When you are becoming obsessive about your work, its easy to fall into the trap of letting the rest of life fall by the wayside. Even in myself I notice that when I am in a period of really grinding, I can lose focus on the social aspects of life. An extreme example of what I'm talking about...

    ChatGPT / AI reduces our creative mindset

    MARKETING CHAT 
    Well, when they came out with calculators, people got worse at mental math. So in that regard you're spot on. I totally felt like I wasn't learning anything in high school when I would have chatgpt take my notes for me. Once you let it automate something, you will notice that your ability in...

    Intro: Entering the Fastlane in the Martial Arts domain

    INTRO 
    Something else that was on my mind when I myself was considering opportunities for business in the martial arts space was the idea of just selling a product that addresses some problem or inconvenience for martial artist's. A great example of a product that already exists is Arm Bar Soap. They...

    Book Recommendations for Entrepreneurs and Business Enthusiasts

    BOOKS 
    Good recommendations. I recently read the book Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan, and I found it to be helpful for me in learning how to take the first step and get started with a business. The book walks you through the steps of generating high value business ideas, and quickly validating...

    A New Path to the Fastlane - App Development

    EXECUTION 
    I like the idea. What will be your angle? How will you stand out from other weight loss apps? There are a lot of them out there. I think that deserves some reflection. If you can set yourself apart from the crowd, you will surely see more success.

    Intro: Entering the Fastlane in the Martial Arts domain

    INTRO 
    I think you could stand out from other franchises if you are careful not to make it feel too corporate. I've been training for five years, and I will say that I am turned off by dojos that have multiple locations. The local, single-location dojos are often much higher quality and have a much...

    How to identify the need in the market?

    INTRO 
    I hear you. What I meant by "pains" was inconveniences, more-so than literal discomforts. Maybe there is some process that you do regularly online or otherwise that could be made more efficient with a SaaS? That's just what's on my mind, I'm no expert.

    Failing Forward: Nuclear Nextdoor Karen Meltdown

    EXECUTION RANT 
    That's a good idea. I think gamifying it that way could make it more exciting, prompting customers to explore local shops that they may not have heard of before. If I revisit this product I will definitely keep that in mind.

    Advice for 17 year old teen

    INTRO 
    18 year old here. We are alike. Keep trying things. If you have an idea, just get started, before you have it all figured out. Every time you fail you are leveling up the skill of business. Embrace the journey.

    How to identify the need in the market?

    INTRO 
    I suppose a good place to start would be to try and find pains in your own life that you think you could resolve. You want your product to create value, and you can create value by easing people's pain, so explore and keep track of your own.

    Failing Forward: Nuclear Nextdoor Karen Meltdown

    EXECUTION RANT 
    This is how I accidentally started a comment war on Nextdoor with my first business failure. The Idea: My idea was to sell a discount card that would offer customers discounts at local businesses in my home town, like ice cream shops and cafes. My intention was to provide value to the customer...

    4-Hour Work Week - Worth Reading?

    BOOKS 
    I've heard good things about the book, but MJ disses it a couple times in Fastlane. Are there good things to be taken away from it? Or is it all just counterproductive?
