    The harder it is, the better the opportunity. Expect it to be hard. Period! Thanks MJ.

    One thing I learned from starting startups execution is THE GAME not the idea. Great points as always.

  • @FastlaneMJ

    Just a point of clarification mid-vid; the startup needed $1M+ total, they wanted $100-$200K investments from multiple individuals, including me.

      And the CEO would prolly throw at least 50% into a nice index fund.

      sounds like it would fail even with the $1 million mega investment.
      alot of businesses can be started without a massive investment. I started mine with $50.

    1) It's too hard
    2) it's already been done
    3) I don't know how
    4) I wanna draw salary
    5) my idea worth million

    I like your content, but:
    1. you need lights. Or move so you get sun in your face so you're not back-lit.
    2. you need to turn off that waterfall (or just move to a more quiet location).
    I remember getting that exact advice from my father. Great entrepreneur too. Thank you! Edit: Um, the advice _you_ gave, not the two steps for better audio and lighting...

    Hey MJ! At the age of 32, I decided to be in the fastlane road. I just published my first RUclips video, and that's only the first step of a laaaarge amount of steps. I expect to see this comment ten years from now (that's the up limit) and watch the walk with proud that I decided well, and, of course, be financial free. Greetings from Argentina! ⭐⭐⭐

    This video is awesome, I love his talk on the problem by problem approach. I've come to appreciate this concept as well, it is extremely important. Some examples of this: How do I build a website? First you have to buy a domain. Then what? Oh, I have to get a hosting plan, etc... Taking things one step at a time is how to get things done.

    I understand what you're saying but don't totally agree. Everything is not difficult and sometimes its just your thought process, its how you do things. If you think everything is difficult you may not get anywhere.
    For some if its something they love its easy for them whereas for someone else trying to do the same thing it may be hard.
    Yes you must learn the process of things, learn the steps, set goals, study, research etc.

    I don't think you should confuse simple with easy. Simple businesses can actually be highly effective... Think 'elegant solutions' as an example. What you mean is that if the barrier to entry is too low and too easy you should be cautious. Simplicity is not the enemy.

    if i become rich and write a book, i'll reccomend your books in it for sure man. and i'll say to only read 2 books a year or sth like that. reading books is the shittiest thing a wantrepreneur can do... i mean, 20 years ago entrepreneurs just DID stuff, they didnt read 50 books a year. PS: yes i was a wantrepreneur too. So cringy

    • @alek6208
      @alek6208 3 года назад +1

      If you need to learn something that will make your business better then reading a book is great but reading 50 books a year without goal is useless

    Tnx for the great video and lessons, I enjoy and learn from each one! However I see one thing you could improve in your video. Your lightning is bad. Your face is too dark and background too light, so your face is almost not visible.
    I thought of that a couple of times before, well.. and this time I decided to tell you that.
    Cheers!
