    Holy $H!T, I'm launching my new kickstarter project tomorrow!

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Great work! Really professional video with all the necessary elements. I suppose the added resistance comes from adding more rubber bands? That's a nice after-sale opportunity, since you have your own proprietary "locking-system" for bands. Can you elaborate on the metrics? I ran a test...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    It it is a mold for injection molded plastic part, then you could have them machine it in the mold. The text will be elevated from rest of the part. If it's a tool & die for metal part, then it can cost you a bit more, because you possibly need to have both of them done (tool & die). It might...

    I'm not smart enough to sell my services, I'm just really good at what I do for myself

    You said you've grown pages organically. Does this mean you made the actual content? Did you get people to engage other ways than just likes? Did you get them to comment/give their email?

    Hydro Flask case study

    Excactly. Nobody knows what is the final chemical composition of any plastic. There are hundreds of additives and the big chem corporations don't give a a shit. @Jesús Zamora , I see you're located in Mexico. It would be interesting to see made in Mexico SS water bottles. Now they are 95% made...

    Hydro Flask case study

    I think Klean Kanteen was the first to market with Stainless Steel bottles, but they were late in the game with insulated bottles. Also they have more of a outdoors/hippy-vibe. Now there about million variations to choose from. Nobody makes water bottles without insulation no more. There was...

    I'm so tired

    So you're developing IoT products for other companies? Why don't you start developing your own IoT product. You have the team and you have the market insight. Have most your guys work on client projects and assemble a small team to start working on some new idea. No experience from this, but...

    Failure is almost guaranteed if you ignore this one simple truth

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Great and entertaining read on not giving up and dealing with failures: Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who RIsked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II E: Despite my lack of knowledge or interest in diving this book is really gripping.

    Found this Free Provisional Patent Application drafting course online, is it missing anything?

    Not to be rude.. But you're asking some professional to use their free time to sort trough that tutorial for you? If you're unsure, hire a patent attorney to make your PPA. Otherwise you just need to make your own research. And, as you probably know, the PPA will only give you a "headstart"...

    Shall I make the prototype myself? / Some good, trusted companies in the U.K?

    I've always found it so funny and confusing when english speakers use the word product. A product, for me, is something physical that you can touch and feel. A software or a service on a computer screen is - well - a software or a service. Your post is the prime example of this confusion: The...

    Cal Newport podcast: Digital Minimalism

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    I listened the newest TMBA podcast, and in that one he mentioned many times that we are now beyond tips, tricks and lifehacks. Basically, you need to: Get completely rid off the digital world, face the temporary void, go out and connect with people.

    What Countries and Places Offer the Best Life Quality?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    How about southern France? Always thought of it as a nice place. Weather should be good, taxes are medium at least when comparing with Finland :D. Friendly environment? You tell me.

    Prototype vs. Validation vs. Patent. What to do first?

    You will get the benefit of first to file with the provisional patent. You should do that first. Then you should try to validate your idea and make connections. This will help you sell the idea. Then try to sell your idea to an engineering company.

    What happens when you quit your job?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's easy in Finland. Everybody just gets free healthcare. Don't matter what's your condition. Even self-induced stuff(alcoholism, drugs, metabolic disease) is fully taken care by the society. On the other hand: if you make 100k€ salary a year, you pay about 45% in taxes and unemployment fees.
