    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    NOTABLE! IDEA 
    Guys I can't stop finding these and hating myself for overthinking product ideas :rofl: This is one I ran into from the startup CPG group- Unbooze: So- it's another rehash of "hangover prevention supplements" but they seem to be blowing up. It's a small handfull of supplements (napkin math...

    (Slow Burn) Starting and Fastlaning a snack & nutrition brand.

    EXECUTION 
    Small update: Did more prototyping in the past months, I've settled on a first product that I can make reliably (only minimally blowing up my kitchen) but now the questions are: 1) How do I get this to taste better and shelf stable? 2) Can my recipe be broken down into a formula, which a...

    See what his GMB profile looks like, and if there's nothing there, create it and optimize it with service area and services- you should be able to find a video or two on youtube to get you most of the way there. I've been doing it because I see the writing on the wall for SEO due to chatgpt...

    Just posted this in another thread but it should go here: https://www.starterstory.com/sarah-hannington - "Hey, those cruddy little candy hearts with messages, but like, funny and rude ones would be awesome, but no one makes them?" - "Hey, I found a company that I can contract to make my...

    IME hello elementor is a blank slate mostly used if you'll be building your own pages with your own elements/designs. It's all I've used when I did use elementor.

    Mopped up the surprise client and final payment coming in soon and I'll get to do my "I saved this guys @$$" case study. Right now turning back to updates for an old client, getting paid which is nice. Sales call today with a guy who's been in contact with me for a year for at least one site...

    I'm going to wash windows for money tomorrow for the first time in my life. Any tips?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Echoing this- I only technically have one active client that's about to pay me right now, but just that and my past few projects make me so thankful. I used to wake up hating the first breaths of air in the day because I'd have to drag myself off to my dayjob. Now I wake up thinking about all...

    Does anyone else remember a thread where the guy came on bragging that he read TMF, so he got himself fired at work and worked his unemployment over to disablity- and while he hadn't had any fastlane businesses yet, he'd been pretending for 11 months that his welfare checks were fastlane payment...

    Here's a treat: Thursday Boots. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsoaAy3QWPg Two friends: "Hey, boots are either stupid expensive or really suck... can we do something about it?" So they went down to Guatemala with a design in mind and had some cobblers make just 20 pairs, aiming for...

    Update: Spent time crunching through the two prior projects while balancing the dayjob, but the dayjob got a whole lot worse. Been applying/interviewing but nothing good yet- things also getting explosive and getting some good motivation to make this work (again). Storytime: Went over contact...

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    Anyone else do World Carnivore Month last month? Got back on the wagon after my weight floated up and hit an unacceptable threshold over cCristmas. Managed to lost the first 15lbs in about 3 weeks and slowly dropping the rest of the weight. More than anything I was surprised at how easy it was...

    Explore the Repo Industry With Lex

    EXECUTION 
    Just two cents, but if you do start this in a state that allows it, you gotta upload youtube shorts. There's a few guys doing it already, some of them can be heavy, but one guy here in the south is mostly repo'ing luxury or sports cars the former owners could clearly never afford and you see...
