@MJ DeMarco the famous blueprint for fastlane business is called CENTS, or if you're older, CENTS.
This is honestly and amazing blueprint that can help anyone blazetrail almost any business, BUT, i have a question:
The first commandment is called the commandment of Need.
However, There ARE some businesses that we dont NEED, but there is a demand for it. I could argue that no one NEEDS a gucci bag, but there is demand for it. No one necessarily NEEDS the latest iphone, but there's a demand for it. So in this light wouldnt it be safe to say that it's not the need that matters, but the demand? And keeping this in view, should we change CENTS to DENTS?
MJ what are your thoughts on this? I could be horribly wrong and i'd love to see why. Also people of the forum, what are your thoughts on this? Do you work in a niche that relies not on need but demand?
