    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    @Johnny boy, I want to give an idea. If you CAC is 167$ as you said, you could drive it down that by doing door-to-door sales. Here's the math: It takes me roughly 30 minutes to find a client for cleaning windows, and 25 minutes to clean. A worker gets some 25$/hour. At the end of cleaning they...

    One step to become more logical

    MINDSET 
    Be careful though: you won't always know what you need to solve a problem. In technology, in particular. I've tried building a few AI products - ground-up AI, the kind of products nobody did before, and after 7 months of thinking "yeah, I'll just push through it", it didn't work. Not a damn...

    F*ck My College

    MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I thought so too during my bachelor's in business. What you've missed here is that they teach you engineering very-very well in colleges. My biggest mistake in formal education life was picking the wrong degree. Because in engineering - SWE or hardware - solving problems for users and scaling...

    Yes, I would need to read through Johnny boy's posts. Will have to find it first.

    Raising Pre-Revenue Angel Cash Is A PITA

    HOT! MARKETING 
    @piano why would you try raising funds for a window cleaning business? I've hired employees in the past for window cleaning too, and it needs very little upfront investment. Especially if you are doing it in the summertime - yes, the employee I've hired was 16, and we didn't sign a contract. In...

    Contracts with B2C clients

    SIDE HUSTLE TAXES | REGS 
    Sup FL, I've recently restarted window cleaning, as a way to pay bills. So good so far, making double of minimum wage. Just need to not work on rainy days. Now, I'm going door-to-door in two regions, spending ~30 minutes looking for a client and ~25 minutes in job. You can see the pattern -...

    Pounding the streets for a Foundation Job

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Hey, that's what I did two months ago in Ireland (republic of) and I got absolutely zero replies. I had seen dozens of people walk in front of me and hand their resumes too. Hungry people. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/ai-entrepoorneurs-resume-for-hospitality-jobs.120050/...

    Angels invest in tech, and only tech, as far as I'm concerned.

    Mind blown: Lovable for no-code website development and apps.

    - AI - 
    I've bashed my head against trying to create an AI that would do MechE for 8 months, full-time last year. Actually, there is an opening - you can automate the manufacturing part of it. The reason is that manufacturing runs over relatively short periods of time models can understand well and...

    Everything is clear now: Why I'm Building my First SaaS (Progress Thread)

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    GitHub - DIYgod/RSSHub: Everything is RSSible almost 40k stars. Do you know about it? Also, I suggest using frameworks like Appwrite and refine.dev. Look into them right now. You can build what you've built in a matter of hours, not a month. And hey, I've been there, my first SaaS has taken 3...

    idea feedback - leadgen for home service companies using UAVs and computer vision?

    - AI - 
    Shit. How could I forget? no, this is true, but I've genuinely forgot this principle... I thought you spend much more on ads. When window cleaning, I often think of washing residentials with drones, but it's difficult - you need to attach a hose, and would customers really care? There are...
