    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Alright guys, got the company up to $25,000 daily turnover. Also, went to great conference in Germany. One of very prominent German entrepeneurs was speaking how here in Europe we already have many great products at the equal or better level than Americans but are much worse at promoting...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Long time no update, my fault. On the last few weeks kept on working on the product. Got another product ready for Product Hunt. Moderate success, 130 upvotes, got some traffic from it. It was just a tool for the purpose of marketing. Upcoming week going to Germany for an entrepreneurship...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Last two weeks were same as previous two weeks. We did a lot of progress on our product and got featured on front page of Product Hunt which s always fun. That brought us a couple conversions. Our system is still buggy and some conversations failed to convert due to technical bugs which is...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Last two weeks were full of crazy work hours, from 9am to at least 8pm and onwards. We are launching a new product at the startup I'm at, the plan is to ship it next month. I got equity in the company so now I'm super motivated to get thing off the ground. I do not have full control of where the...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Yesterday was away in nature and could not write an update. Just got from work. Got my sleep sorted quite fast somehow so now back to productive work. Also, broke up with my first serious girlfriend of 2 years as I just did not see the future with her and she started pressuring to get married...

    VALUE OF MY APPLICATION

    Knowing whether a particular nightclub tonight is worth going to based on accurate data rather than shitty flyers given out in the street or whatever would be super convenient. There are numerous other application areas obviously but I see nightclubs as the easiest and most in demand market to...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Hey, last two weeks were ok but I am still disappointed in myself. I was not able to record any of the programming course I was planning to. At first, it's because all the dust and so on got to my voice and I was too sore to do any recording. But during the second week I just kept on going to...

    26y/o from EU failing since highschool

    INTRO 
    Living where you both live I know exactly what you are talking about but honestly, it's not that bad and there are pockets where people are supportive, the environment is positive and so on. Of course, it's not Silicon Valley but I still feel we have a fertile land full of opportunities. Labor...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Apologies for the delayed update. Just came back to civilization after a week in a dessert full of heat, wind, and dust. The festival was hard on the body and sometimes on the mind, it's a constant survival. It's funny that people including myself pay for this 'privilege'. But it was cool to be...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Update as promised. The past two weeks were spent working on Toptal application. I didn't want to fail at it and overall spent over 50 Pomodoris on creating a mock-up web app (1 Pomodoro is 25 minutes of real work). Glad to say I got in! I can't say my hourly rate as it's against T&C but suffice...

    Mortgages... yea or nay?

    INVESTING 
    You are right, I made it too much of a self-study. It works for me as I can rent a room cheaply from relatives. An unpaid rent is a risk for sure. I am mitigating some of it by renting the apartment through Airbnb only. Anyhow, it looks like one of those things where you can find really good...

    Mortgages... yea or nay?

    INVESTING 
    I will provide my own subjective take on this as I have a mortgage too for the same reasons as yours, it's cheaper than rent and it made me save aggressively. While on paper it looked good, I soon realized the responsibilities held me back from leaving a slowlane job as I was scared about not...

    10/10 Biz Idea, in 'Soon to Be Gone' (Possibly) Industry? What to Do?

    IDEA 
    It's always hard to predict the future and it will be interesting to see what others have to say. But according to Gartner Hype Cycle, autonomous vehicles right now have just passed the peak of inflated expectations. It's absolutely a great technology but as graph predicts, it is AT LEAST 10...

    Staying on the Fastlane

    EXECUTION 
    Hi guys, After reading "The Fastlane Millionaire" 2 years ago I joined this forum and ever since did not achieve anything of major significance. In those 2 years, I did some freelance work which was the most entrepreneurial thing I have done besides the online skateboards shop I ran as a...

    struggling to come up with a website idea

    IDEA 
    That's a great answer, thank you!! Essentially, everyone has to go through Step 1 first and learn the value of helping others. As for Step 2, I see where you are coming from. Help others, find common themes, develop a generalized solution to the target market. It seems then that in order to...
