Hi Fastlaners,
Since my last school exam ended about ~8 days ago, I've been swimming deep in the mindset of the Fastlane, while executing as much as I can.
Despite the short time, I've learned so much about myself, the lifestyle I am pursuing, and gaining a clearer sense of the clarity of purpose such a pursuit brings. This is the first time in my life I've allowed myself to truly dedicate my waking hours to entrepreneurship, and I can't wait to continue on and see what is in store for me.
Some evidence of my execution comes from my Facebook - I posted a couple of ideas simmering in my mind and reached out to get feedback. I tend to feel introverted especially on social media so doing this felt outside my comfort zone.
Nevertheless, from the 30+ comments, I got the most popular idea and continued refining it, talking about it and creating a prototype on Google slides after 1 round of feedback.
I've shown the prototype to anyone willing to listen, and today I just ended a day-long course on Vue.js, the programming language I am using to build out this app.
Many of my life goals and strengths are pointing me towards building web products like Saas, simple tools that add value to people's life.
I've followed some nomad entrepreneurship circles for a while and following their advice on shipping fast and checking for traction. If it does not work, move on to the next idea and keep iterating until someone pays for something you made.
A part of me finds it hard to convince people to join my beta email list to test and use the product (while I have more people to learn and iterate from). However, I realized this comes down to track record and execution more than anything else.
In other words, I'm not good enough to be where I want to be, so now's the time to put in the work to get there.
Idea-wise, I'm validating the need for an online tool that reminds workaholics to keep in contact with their close friends.
This motivation came from observing others and my own life. Young adults are too busy with career stuff, and there are close people we lose contact with not because we want to, but because of different life paths.
In other words, some app that tells you "You have not contacted X for 3 months, send her an interesting article?" kind of pings.
Love to get any feedback on this!
