    Considering my Next Move as a Confused Wantrepreneur

    MINDSET 
    Hey there! Not sure which of MJs books you've read, or if you found this forum organically but I'd suggest starting there. One thing I had to overcome, like you, is my tendency to weave in and out of focus/motivation. I recently finished the book the 12 Week Year and it's really helped. It's...

    Educational App

    IDEA 
    I think it could work but as stated by others, there are challenges you will have to overcome to be successful. The fact that there are other apps top of mind that are similar to your idea validates that there is a market demand. You just have to knock out the execution. I'd conduct research on...

    I Have No Idea... ....and maybe I need help...

    IDEA 
    Tbh, it seems you're approaching it as solutions in search of problems, with the somewhat exception of the COVID masks but that was clearly a trending item. You have to re-orient your perspective to find and solve legitimate problems. You seem to have the technical capabilities to make something...

    Las Vegas Fa$tlaners

    MEETUPS 
    Entrepreneurs, Curious if there are any Fastlane entrepreneurs out here in the Las Vegas area that would be interested in getting together and networking. It doesn't need to be anything formal or even many people. A little about me, 28 years old, currently active duty AF but working on my...

    HELP! Ecommerce 3PL (Product Fulfillment) Startup

    Load testing is part of it. I've never had to deal with pallet sized orders before, so I want to make sure my platform can meet the needs expected with the logistics that come with that. With the live orders I ultimately want to start building a customer base, and really know what requirements...

    HELP! Ecommerce 3PL (Product Fulfillment) Startup

    I would need to order a sizable amount of junk inventory essentially, and while it would provide some good data points, I'd be losing money and not really receiving a true customer perspective. This is also ultimately because I know this is the kind of thing venture capitalists would like to...

    HELP! Ecommerce 3PL (Product Fulfillment) Startup

    I don't intend to give up, but beyond going to targeted subreddits for entrepreneurship and shopify I've yet to find another place for quality leads.

    What should i do?

    Good point, however the key there is "before doing anything" which is why my post started with "Go for it." lol

    HELP! Ecommerce 3PL (Product Fulfillment) Startup

    Thanks for the advice! I've tried the route of emailing the site owners via the "Contact us" route but it's a little more difficult due to no aggregate place to find many stores directly at once.

    HELP! Ecommerce 3PL (Product Fulfillment) Startup

    To elaborate, I will be designing the platform whilst also trying to get my first customer but I am kinda held up by not having the first hand experience of knowing some of the nuances that may be critical for the platform.

    What should i do?

    Go for it. In the technology space, everything is always just a copy and paste away from duplication. If that's all it takes to completely destroy your idea is that a foundation you want to build a house on anyway? Besides that, the odds of someone legitimately stealing your idea before it's...

    HELP! Ecommerce 3PL (Product Fulfillment) Startup

    Fastlaners, I am undertaking the development of an ecommerce 3PL (outsourced product fulfillment) platform that I believe has the potential to have massive impact on ecommerce as a whole. In order for it to work, I need to find business owners that are willing to first allow me to individually...

    Website idea to connect photographers with buyers

    IDEA 
    I am also building a marketplace for a different service and you're right, the monetization is necessarily the hardest part it's bringing both sides of the marketplace to the platform. I found this article on Strip that really helped me determine which direction I need to go. Specifically...
