The Basics of Pricing

@Vigilante mentioned in this thread how he set the price for his new book, and mentioned price points in consumer psychology: Vigilante's Book "Vigilant Kids" Step by Step

I used to consult for a major fastfood chain, and was responsible for pricing with all new franchisee's in the USA. Figure I'd share the knowledge. Of course, I use all this in my B&M too. I...

Any Jordan Peterson fans out there?

Any Jordan Peterson fans/critics out there, or anyone who has read 12 rules for life? I'm curious what some of the fast-lane opinions are. Got the book because I liked a lot of what I saw from him online, and it was interesting to hear the hype online, endless people talking about how the book "turned their life around". Not that I need my life turned around, but was still curious enough to get it.

I'm about 100 pages in and not positive what to think or if I need to keep reading. Some of...

Has anyone consulted a psychic? (Feel free to laugh)

Hello Everyone!
I recently read the Millionaire Fast Lane and Unscripted, and I've had my fair share of F*** This Events. I worked hard all my life, got myself "highly educated," had multiple "prestigious internships", and still not where I want to be. On the other hand, my husband seems to have an entrepreneurial mind set from the start. He is a very good looking charismatic guy by societal standards, but after "failing" a couple interviews for the dumb reasons "employers" usually give, he...

If you're selling a service where there is no standard price. And you tested and increased prices to almost double and then that resulted in.

Made it to Scottsdale and Business Update

Hey everyone,

It's been about one year since I joined the forum and thanks to the great advice of some members of the community, I've been able to completely change my life and move in a better direction.

To keep it simple, I was working at an investment bank in NYC and absolutely hated my life / how I was treated.

This week I just moved into my apartment in Scottsdale after making the cross country drive solo. A few months back I started my web design business with the help of Fox's...

Introducing myself

First and most important, I´m looking for my own peace of mind. Even though that´s not very easy, especially in a person with so many thoughts at the same time. I´m also (still) trying to find what I´m passionate about (for a long period of time, as it seems my passions change after 4-5 years - anyone in the same situation?)

I graduated in Advertising. Taught English while studying to make some money. Then I graduated in Teaching English because I felt bad being a teacher and not having a...

Getting some Money from MLM but Still Struggling!

Hi guys, just asking advice to fellow entrepreneurs.

The company is really good but the main problem is I'm still struggling.

I make most of money from my network, because I really don't like selling items for the house (even if...

SPI 316: The Art of Scaling with Nathan Chan from Foundr

How do you take an idea and grow it into a six-figure business, a multiple six-figure business, and then scale it to a multiple seven-figure business? That’s what we’re talking about with today’s special guest: Nathan Chan, founder of Foundr Magazine.

Foundr Magazine has turned into a powerhouse brand since I last spoke with Nathan (Episode 169). So much has happened! Today, Nathan is going to dish on all that he’s done, and all that he’s had to stop doing in order to grow. I’m basically just turning the mic over to Nathan so he can give us the scoop on what he’s learned, what he’s aiming for now, how he’s building his brand, and why his mission with Foundr has increased 100x.

Stick that phone in your pocket and listen close, because this episode is stuffed with insights and powerful takeaways. That’s what Foundr is all about—helping entrepreneurs create a successful business. Nathan has a lot to share, so let’s get started!

If you want to get a free, printed copy of the Richard Branson issue of Foundr, go to Foundr.com/branson (you only need to cover shipping and handling).

And speaking of freebies, if you’ve ever been interested in starting a podcast, I have a free, three-day mini course for you. It’s structured to help you get your podcast up and running without getting overwhelmed. I’ll walk you through all the steps, hand-in-hand: Check it out at HowtoStartaPodcast.com.

We talk a lot in this episode about scaling up and team building, and a common question I get is “how do you manage your content when you’re scaling up?” Well, I have an excellent solution for you: CoSchedule. This is the number one tool I’d recommend for content management—it’s great if you have a team or even if you’re just starting out. It helps you manage your content on WordPress, on social media, and more. There are so many useful features and automations within CoSchedule that I know will make your life easier, so check it out at SmartPassiveIncome.com/coschedule.

f*ck This Event

I’ve been re-reading Unscripted over the past few days, because just like MJ says it’s easy to start and make statements and never follow through. Action fakes all day. I’ve been struggling with that lately. Less motivation, feeling trapped, feeling complacenet, etc. So I re-read the chapter about the FTE last night and it hit me that I never really had one, even thought I thought I did. I’ve had a lot f*ck this moments but no single event strong enough to elicit a lasting change. I know you...

So you want to move to Scottsdale?

So I will be traveling for the next 3 months, but I am coming BACK to Scottsdale after my travels (mid to late summer).

Many of you at the Fastlane Summit expressed interest in moving to Scottsdale. I've been here for almost a year it has been nothing but life changing.

So it's time to put your money where your mouth is and decide if you'll do it.

Most of you know when three of us moved to Scottsdale - what happened and all of our lives were forever changed for the better.

Freelance to agency > Why would people work for me?

Hey there, everyone!

Short presentation: I've been working as a freelance copywriter since 2013. I don't really like writing, but I know my way around the field by now. Recently I've been thinking seriously about stepping it up, hiring young copywriters and scaling my business into an agency that way.

Problem (my action fake): I'm really anxious about asking anyone to work for me as a copywriter. I'm thinking "Hey, why on earth would they want to do that instead of just going...

Getting results is all that matters

I'm starting this thread for a number of reasons.

The first one is to document my progress of building up my business. My business is within the mobile AR world, and still in its very early stages. It's a B2B marketing tool essentially. I personally developed a beta version of my app which I put in the Play Store. Using that concept app I was able to create some videos of it in action which I put on my socials and sent to a few people that I thought might be interested. Luckily, a few...
