    Taking a business online. Is it worth it?

    EXECUTION 
    Hey, thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! I have a Shopify store that I'm building. The early stages are just challenging. but that's to be expected. This business is going to scale and when it does, things are going to be even more brutal. But it's all part of the process.

    Taking a business online. Is it worth it?

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks! you have a fair point. I gotta also learn marketing. I'm thinking I might do influencer marketing would work cause it's pretty niche. But maybe running FB ads would work. It's getting expensive these days though.

    Taking a business online. Is it worth it?

    EXECUTION 
    I have absolutely no clue how to build an online store. I own the domain and I actually have been messing around with the shopify tools on the website. But whenever I go looking for tutorials on youtube, it's always "BEST DROPSHIPPING STORE IN 15 MINUTES!!!!!" Have any clue where to find...

    Taking a business online. Is it worth it?

    EXECUTION 
    So I recently found my first small success in a company that I've been taking to local farmers markets, but my issue is that it can only do sales on the weekends that I'm running the stand. I'm a college student and with this fall, I won't be able to travel as much for this business. The product...

    How The Entire FinTech Industry Screwed Me Over Without Telling Me, And How You Might Be Able To Avoid Having It Happen To You

    RANT 
    Update: Figured out the paypal stuff was cause I was being a stupid teen when I was 17 and I lied about my age. That's my L to take. Still not sure why my SSN doesn't verify with square but that's alright.

    How The Entire FinTech Industry Screwed Me Over Without Telling Me, And How You Might Be Able To Avoid Having It Happen To You

    RANT 
    Alright. This is going to be a bit of a backstory. The last year of my life has been a bit of a living hell. All the way back in the summer of 2021, I randomly got an email from Paypal saying that I was permanently banned for breaking their terms of service. I have no clue how or why they would...

    I found something I finally am ready to start executing on!

    IDEA 
    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I had my first-time selling at a farmer's market, and it went way better than expected! After changing the claims on my product, I decided to change to advertising as just lip balm. More specifically, it's a lip balm for people with really dry and sensitive lips. That mostly...

    New Guy: already entrepreneur but new to Fastlane

    INTRO 
    Honestly. This is really good! thanks for sharing and showing that multiple difficulties don't necessarily mean that you need to stop and just kind of play along with the rat race.

    Mad props! You've got the skills and ability to do it, so I really believe you'll make something great!

    I found something I finally am ready to start executing on!

    IDEA 
    Well... I guess the whole weekly thing kind of died. But I've gotten to a finalized recipe that works quite well. I am registered to go to at least one farmer's market this summer. I'm freaking out and literally overthinking everything about this. I haven't even had a real chance to test it...

    Don’t lurk, do this instead

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Thanks a lot Andy! honestly that's something I've been struggling with as I have grow up team consumer, but I'm grateful for this forum, and for all the books I've been able to read.

    I found something I finally am ready to start executing on!

    IDEA 
    Thanks a lot for reading and responding to this. That’s definitely something that I was worried about. As I’ve been working on it, I’ve wanted someone who actually had experience in the field to help me out, but haven’t had any luck with it. I’ve been slowly adjusting it, but you have some...

    I found something I finally am ready to start executing on!

    IDEA 
    Yeah! It's definitely been interesting as I realized I could avoid a lot of expenses up front because I don't need to build out my our facilities in order to get a good product out.

    I found something I finally am ready to start executing on!

    IDEA 
    Weekly Update Alrighty. A couple relatively big things happened this last week. First off, I ended up completely reformulating the balm to be all-natural and all organic. It smells great too. So far it's been working really well and I'm not complaining. I managed to pack it and make a label...

    I found something I finally am ready to start executing on!

    IDEA 
    So…. About time for that weekly update. Cause I kinda committed to it. Honestly, not much has happened once again. But I did talk to my college professor who is an entrepreneur himself and discussed the idea, and he actually pointed out a niche that I could target and advertise to. That was...
