    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    >Acquisition must be delegable, too. I can't be the one personally finding and contacting prospects. If I were you, when you define your ICP, set up a GTM engine. What that means is that finding leads is on autopilot using AI. Scraping ads library? you can do that. doing online research? you...

    Retrospective on 4 years in a pursuit of entrepreneurship. 13 lessons and a life story from a self-taught software engineer and a window cleaner.

    STORY 
    I guess the question is how to make it in software and not window cleaning. That's the goal. Maybe you could say that I'm not disciplined, but I deliberately shied away from scaling window cleaning - even thought I have hired an employee last year. I stopped giving out the review cards which I...

    STORY 
    It's not just free, it's paid. In EU, it's a job. That you need to win. The pay is 2000 EUR/mo for 4 years + a credential . yes, actually, I'm getting 30-40EUR/hr doing windows (who could have thought). The problem is that I'm trying to exit it and move into a software job which long-run should...

    What is a good way to validate a SaaS before building it?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    I had the same problem and I was advised "the right it" years ago. also, I would add "click!" (both written by very solid software founders by the way). The latter is arguably more comprehensive and also shorter.

    STORY 
    Hello, Some of you may remember me, some not, I've been out of TFLF for a year now. I've learned much more from execution and working 100-120 hours a week for all the 4 years than from any thread from this forum, and I had to learn on my own mistakes and advise from the few around me. I wish...
