    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    I agree, just finished reaching out to suppliers to see if I can talk to them in regards to my idea so that I can learn more about the seasonality of things, if they'd let me represent their XYZ for sale and other related questions. Thanks for commenting btw.

    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    Great questions man. They're really hard for me to answer at the moment since I don't have a full answer to any of those, and I agree that I'll need to skew way more value in order to be better then the competition If I want to be the best in the category with the best service. And I was also...

    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    I think you've misunderstood me, we'd sale XYZ via the website. But a portion of the profits would be used to help abandoned puppies, do you know what I mean?

    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    I haven't started yet, but my idea of what I'd like it to be is the following sentence : Buying trough us guarantees that you're buying the high qualify XYZ from a great supplier that has passed a rigorous vetting process without hidden fees and guarantees that a portion of our profits go to...

    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    Second part of my reply : @Jobless It's a growing market, I couldn't find any percentages honestly, but I did find one source reporting it's a $4B/year industry inside the US. I agree there are bad customers, but what got me intrigued is the sheer amount of people referencing similar problems...

    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    Hi everyone, hope all is well with everyone, I think I've started moving in the right direction with my thinking at least. To explain a bit, everyday whenever I research business ideas for my fastlane goal ( i'll explain in a second why I've been researching ), I've started observing all of them...

    IDEA 
    Thank you a lot Johnny, I will apply this advice today and post the results in here so that I can get some feedback if it's a good starting point. Good luck on the PE firm, I wish to see you crush it in that industry.

    I’ll take your advicr and carry a notepad with me, I’ve used to do that before on my phone app but the ideas rate very poorly against CENTS, but hey it can’t do me harm to start carrying, thanks

    How to go about generating ideas or improving existing businesses so that we don't start a "me too" and fail?

    IDEA 
    Oh my bad, for not mentioning what I’ve done so far, but since April I’ve done cold emails, calls to no positive results, which is why I am saying if I am going to continue to push for google ads as a service, I need to make the service way better then what already exists since there’s tons of...

    IDEA 
    Hi everyone, been a few days since I posted here, and honestly something has been on my mind for a few days now, especially given that I may have made a mistake on the business idea I am pursuing which is why I am making this post. For those who do not know and to keep the post short, my...

    Rental Equipment as a Fastlane Business Idea? Am I wrong?

    Rental Equipment as a Fastlane Business Idea? Am I wrong?

    IDEA 
    Thanks for the comment Kevin. I think I've mispoken in my "Update" reply, what I meant by "I think this idea is good" is the overall idea, not the niche it'd be applied to, so : Phase 1. Providing a service to that industry ( reinvesting cashflow, living expenses covered + getting insight )...

    Rental Equipment as a Fastlane Business Idea? Am I wrong?

    IDEA 
    Update since it's been a while, I haven't stopped working on the idea, just didn't post weekly updates. To keep it short, I still haven't made a single dollar from the venture, and I'll go into why I think that is. So, in April I had a call with @ZCP where we prior to the call, talked about...
