I wanted this to be great progress thread, instead it's turned into frustration.
I had a great idea, went to execute it and many people said I should "sell before I had a product".
Now it's almost months later and I still have no product. The idea is still there but I've almost lost all motivation to execute it because no one could produce the product. It's my own fault, I didn't do my due diligence to who I hired. (BTW Fivver SUCKS)
So now I have a have a lucrative slow lane opportunity. This could easily translate into 150k+ job within a few years, but I will have to focus on it.
So now I'm left with a few really, really good ideas. Some experience of hiring the right people (hopefully) or taking the job.
To bad it's not as easy a decision as mopping floors vs. having a lucrative career.
I'm leaning toward the slow lane job but always having my dream in the background. What would a fastlaner do? Take the route of having an almost guarentee'd huge raise of income or staying were they're at and hoping something will stick?
I've been here for a few months now and have seen how many Entrepenuers don't make nearly as much as a lucrative slowlane job and work A LOT more than they would in said slowlane job.
So, I believe the best bet would be to focus on the slowlane job (which I actually LOVE A LOT) and use that to do what I really want -- which is my own business but it will delay it for years, and I run the risk of becoming to comfortable.
What do you think?
