    From Idea to Reality: Progress Thread

    IDEA 
    Wow it's been awhile since I've posted on this thread. Over a year. I have not forgotten about my original idea, but as my financial position is still not great, I've been trying to figure out other ways to exercise this entrepreneurial muscle inside me. A lot has happened over the past year; I...

    Did indeed have to sideline the project unfortunately. I have every intention of seeing it through to the end, but I can't justify shooting myself in the foot financially to do it right now. For the time being I've been in research mode, looking for ways to earn a few bucks on the side that can...

    Getting murdered financially by medical bills unfortunately. Been dealing with a recurring issue that has me at the doc fairly often and most recently required some physical therapy. It's not anything crazy but combined with my debt from flight school and a possible move in the near future, it...

    Alright. Had a BIG lightbulb moment the other day about the issue I've been trying to solve. I've been able to introduce a second material into these prototypes that allowed for a very viable solution, and I'm pretty excited about how well it's already working. It'll even add some flexibility...

    Is it necessary to learn before doing a certain skill, or does trial and error work best for you?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Honestly I've found the best way to do things is learn as you go. Spend some time learning the skill to a level that you're comfortable with using it, and then go from there. Having people paying you (I assume that's what you're going for) is a good nip in the butt to keep you moving and when...

    Getting super close to finishing the designs. I totally keep saying that which makes me wonder if I'm trying to perfect it too much, but at the same time I do have to be reasonably sure that the clip portion of this thing is going to be able to do what I need it to do otherwise it's not going to...

    Good lord this is slow going. Perhaps the desert of desertion? Still trying to get the design nailed down, and we're doin less than 1 update per week right now. Designer works a regular job that appears to be up and down in regards to level of busy so I try not to bug her too much about...

    [HELP] What should I study to get better at business idea generation?

    IDEA 
    I found that ideas began to flow fairly easily when I started paying attention to things people say about experiences with products or services that they wished were better. I can't really help it anymore at this point, I just sort of do it automatically when having conversations with people or...

    Airline Pilot to entrepreneur

    INTRO 
    Awesome! Fellow pilot here, although currently working a slowlane gig as an instructor and manager while working on my project. Was set to go to the airlines before COVID but honestly glad I didn't because I probably wouldn't have discovered this community or MJ's books.

    My Instagram account seems to be ever so slowly picking up a little bit of traction. The first couple of weeks were really only spent posting with some relevant hashtags attached; for some reason it didn't really occur to me that I should actually use the account to search related topics and...

    IDEA 
    It's already been almost a month since I posted an update! Honestly been a little slow going the last couple weeks, basically just going back and forth with my designer and printing updated prototypes as needed. Her computer fried so that created a bit of a delay. Guess that's what I get for...
