    Things you say to yourself to not lose hope?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    It took my first business 2 years until I made enough money to live on what it produced so I know it takes way more time than we'd like

    How do you connect your daily grind to your 10-year vision? (Sanity check on a tool I'm building)

    IDEA 
    Thanks a lot for those suggestions, didn't know about them. The vision is super close to goal sumo, but the difference is that you only input your long term goal, and the AI breaks it down for you and you synch with the AI to update the progress and then the AI reprioritizes the tasks. Moreover...

    How do you connect your daily grind to your 10-year vision? (Sanity check on a tool I'm building)

    IDEA 
    Hey everyone, I've been wrestling with a problem lately and I'm genuinely curious if it's just me, or if other founders feel this too. I have a huge, ambitious 10-year vision for my business. I know the "what" and the "why." The problem is the "how" on a day-to-day basis. My daily reality is a...

    The lag can be definitely improved, There will be 2 versions: a more expensive one that will have no lag, and this one with some lag. I think for some scenarios like booking an appointment having a lag is acceptable

    Thanks a lot for all the replies, and sorry for not keeping you posted. After discussing with a friend of mine, he asked me a great question: "If your goal is to build software, why are you starting with consulting?", and basically that question made me realize that all the reasons I could come...

    How to do cold outreach for market research?

    MARKETING 
    Those are some great insights. My best bet would be to use CRM support groups. The problem is that people there are asking for an expert. Do I get on a call with them even if I'm not completely familiar with the CRM they are using? I wouldn't do that because I would waste their time. Besides...

    How to do cold outreach for market research?

    MARKETING 
    Well, I had the same problem myself and it's frustrating to pay sales people who don't earn their pay. So that's why I'm excited of solving the problem. Thanks a lot for the links. Where do you think I can find people who have sales team? My intuition is that they probably work already with...

    How to do cold outreach for market research?

    MARKETING 
    First of all, thanks a lot for taking the time to read my post and write a reply. Based on the tone in your question, I suppose I'm doing something wrong. The general advice in the startup videos is to first validate your idea, and don't build anything until you talk to enough people and make...

    How to do cold outreach for market research?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks a lot for all the great insights to my initial post. Long story short, the niche ended up choosing me. I talked to an entrepreneur who had an in-field sales team and needed help with supervising the meetings his salespeople were conducting. Even though I had a remote sales team, I...

    Need Help Choosing My Niche

    MARKETING 
    Thanks a lot, your feedback is great, and you're right. The problem I faced in my last business was that I went all in on teaching people how to code. I ended up working with broke people who were difficult to sell to and help. My fear now is that if I niche down, for example, on marketing, I...

    Need Help Choosing My Niche

    MARKETING 
    Hello everybody, This month I exited my coaching business with the long-term goal of building a software company/SaaS. To find a good idea and better understand the market, I thought of offering tech consulting services to various businesses. In my experience, many business owners don't use...

    New week, new post until my business becomes successful. So the biggest win is that I implemented what I agreed with my "free" client pretty quickly, and it will be a big win for his business, and we'll be ready to do the phase 2 of his project. If my estimations are correct, that will bring a...
