Hello, dear Fastliners.
I'm a newbie here.
Please pardon my English (it's one of my weaknesses over which I'm working vigorously).
I'm in the process of reading The Millionaire Fastlane MJ DeMarco, a great book which shed the light of my faulty mindset.
Of course like in case of newbies there is some But (many of them, but for now this is one I think crucial for me to fully drawing context).

I just finished chapter regarding commandment of control and have some thoughts/questions.
I did quick research in topics and find that Damian Pros wrote the same thoughts I experience after reading this chapter.
Damian quote
"All businesses violate the commandment of control.

There will always be some outside influence that has power to cause you trouble. There will always be things that you can't control.

Even with your own website, do you think your hosting provider can't deplatform you?

There are various degrees of control between different business models. You never have absolute control, just illusion of control."

Exact my doubts.
MJ (high regards) when creating his website business I assume use external hosting, isn't it a violation of this commandment? Is true control really exist?
Law regulation, internet provider, phone provider, and for many other factors we never gain control.

Appreciate your insights (of course most valuable will be from author himself).

Thank you in advance.
