    Quick update. The cards are printed, cut, and now are having the holographic paint applied to the edges. They're still in China, and will hopefully be shipped out in the next week. Exciting to see this become real. I'm currently working on my outreach. I have a few people on my list that will...

    I'm only going to sell them if I obtain a license or partnership. So problem solved there. I'm not that interested in crypto art projects of any type. If I'm going to flex my design skills it's going to be doing something in software, since I'm a UX/product designer. I do have a list of 3...

    Well this will be a discussion with Penguin Publishing when I try to get a license. It won't take me long to re-design the cover if they don't want it to be similar to the book. I designed it that way on purpose, so I would capture people's attention in a split second. If they want me to...

    Nice, thanks for finding this and sending. This brings up a good point and something I've considered along the way. There's a couple quality issues with print on demand solutions that clashed with my strategy. 1) They don't offer different box/case options, like a bottom drawer or side drawer...

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I do the designs myself, so I can save a ton of money. Once I start making money, I could hire a designer. The good thing is that I can take a lot of shortcuts there, because I've been a designer for 25 years and know what to look for, and can take the reigns when needed. I found a card...

    Thanks. This started off as a fun art project, just creating something I'd want to buy. Then a friend convinced me to take it more seriously. I don't think there's a lot of money in it, but it could be a fun lifestyle business for a while.

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Probably true. But if I could just spend a couple thousand to get a physical copy, to ME, that's worth the risk. I have the money. If people took me just a little bit more seriously because of the physical copy/sample, it was worth it. I know SOMEBODY will agree to do a deck with me. So the...

    Awesome, I'll get to work on some concepts. Thanks for the consideration and opportunity MJ.

    Cool your jets Fabio. I do plan to get permission. I don't want Penguin Publishing hunting me down, and I know they will. I'm doing a small production run on the deck that will help me have more than just an idea when I go and talk to the authors. Why would they take me seriously if I haven't...

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    My original plan for 48 Laws deck was to contact Robert Greene, but he's not the publisher. I'd have to go to Penguin, and I'm sure they'd tell me to go pound sand because they're so huge. But it's worth a shot. If nothing else, I'll just make the deck for myself and friends. The Visualize...

    Again, you’re allowed to summarize and curate ideas. I don’t know why you’re saying it’s stealing. There are all kinds of summary books for popular books on Amazon.

    Here are mockups of the other two decks: 48 Laws: Visualize Value (I don't have permission for this product yet, but I just created the concept anyway so it would be easier to sell to Jack, the owner of Visualize Value):

    I'm not stealing anything, just summarizing his ideas. Plus, he's worth a couple billion and always preaches about people being industrious. I don't think he'll care I'm summarizing his ideas and sending traffic to his blog. But time will tell. I'm just shooting from the hip and executing. The...

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I've had an idea in my head for the past few years, and finally did something about it. It's nice to finally post something in the Execution section after semi-lurking for years. Here's the TLDR for the company/products: - I like to read physical books sometimes to get away from screens - I...

    OnlyFans has just proven how important the commandment of Control is

    HOT! 
    Good point, Patreon has a similar strategy. Neither is a place to "browse" content, since they'd be cannibalizing their creators' subscribers/revenue. They're pro-creator, versus pro-category/content. I think that Linktree is another HUGE winner here. OF girls made them a household name :rofl...
