    How many Business Failures did you have before success?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Thank you for your reply. I’m still not 100% sure what I could have done better; I’m still reflecting on it. In general, I tried to grow the business too fast and took on more orders than I could chew. Thus, a lot of unhappy customers, since we had to refund all the ones we couldn’t fulfill...

    It’s a painful one though, I’ve been working on it for almost 3 years now.

    I’m probably en route to #1.

    How do you deal with boredom from running same business for a (relatively) long time?

    Hi, I am currently running an e-commerce business which is ramen-profitable but the boredom related to monotonous tasks has started to get to me (been running it for about 2 years now). I no longer really have interest in the product/future projects, but it has potential and I obviously need it...

    How to confirm hard proof of high demand (thousands of sales+) after confirmation of small demand (hundreds of sales)?

    MARKETING FTE 
    Hi, My product is somewhat niche, but has confirmed hard proof/demand in the hundreds range (it has sold ~300 units to 300 different customers, i.e. not one customer buying 300). I profit about ~$50 each sale. A market echo I am getting is that the lead time is too slow. This is because the...

    Thoughts on YouTuber MrBeast?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Aight, I’m pretty much done with fastlane forum. The retard level has gone overboard. Everyone just wants to troll each other in 5 year old attempts to provoke emotional responses. Just sarcasm and assumptions. Ya’ll can do this amongst yourselves, I’m out (last post I’m making here, cya).

    Thoughts on YouTuber MrBeast?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Alright bro. If you want to make this a trolling thread that is completely unproductive, I’m down: Let’s be real “Kelvin”, you’re an idiot and have no life :) Also, learn to read, “Kelvin” ;) Your post clearly means you have no education in economics ;) You’re just jealous you’re rotting away...

    Thoughts on YouTuber MrBeast?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Terrible points made by everyone here, mostly from lack of reading comprehension ability. Expected more from Fastlane members, but internet will be internet I guess, and the masses will be the masses. Requesting thread lock/deletion as I expect nothing of value to come from the replies, given...

    Thoughts on YouTuber MrBeast?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    One of the top YouTubers at the moment is a guy named MrBeast. His selling point to get views is basically him giving away obscene amounts of money/material goods to random individuals. “The World’s First Free Store”: View: https://youtu.be/n6qc4LHN2KQ “Giving $10,000 to Random People...”...

    My Fastlane Journey Documented

    EXECUTION 
    Broke $10K USD in sales today. Took 2 years lmao, but it’s continually been on an upward trend so I guess that’s ok. I truly believe you can’t hit $1M in sales if you can’t first hit $100, $1,000, etc. It’s like getting better times in sports: unless you’re really talented, you don’t just drop...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Would you mind elaborating on this part please? I can’t really understand what you mean by “churn and burn” from my google search of the definition. My guess is something like repeatedly getting out new products when the demand for the last one fizzles out — but why sacrifice branding...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    @MJ DeMarco , Do you still believe that opportunities shouldn’t be overlooked due to a poor Scale score? I’m scared people will go “ah my market is only 100 people, not gonna try that at all”, when the fact of the matter is that conquering small markets is much more realizable as a small...

    EXECUTION 
    God, I hate process. I know MJ says you gotta learn to love what others hate, because to have what most don’t, you have to be willing to do what most won’t. But it’s a lot easier said than done. I’m in my late 20s and the clock keeps ticking. Friends are becoming successful lawyers, doctors...

    My Fastlane Journey Documented

    EXECUTION 
    So opening up my pre-orders today I got about 1/3 of my target. Though it’s only been a few minutes, I’ve noticed the majority of my sales come with the hype of the initial product launch (i.e. first few minutes) and then gradually decreases. Business has made me a bit more pessimistic in terms...

    My Fastlane Journey Documented

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I currently am running a business in the video game accessories industry, generally speaking. Started about 2 years ago, and finally am seeing the light out of this “desert of desertion” as I announced pre-orders for my main product will be available soon. Did tons of Beta...
