Hello, I am creating this thread to document my fastlane business execution.
When I wrote last, I had decided to come up with various fastlane business ideas. My girlfriend and I brainstormed, and came up with over 20 strong CENTS based, problem-solving products.
I've narrowed mine down to a top three and plan to pick one and begin executing immediately when back from Guatemala. (side note: CHOOSING HARD, climbing up acatenango volcano was one of the hardest things I've ever done, especially with no hiking background. 5000 vertical feet and over 9 miles / 6 hours. I got altitude sickness and threw up at the top which left me hungry on the way down in the morning. Cool view though.)
My business ideas:
1. Trivago but for job listings. Aggregates everything from craigslist, LinkedIn, indeed, ETC. Right now there's a lot of jobs listed on each platform but you have to go individually to each one to apply. I'd like to simplify the process and make it easy to apply from just MY site to all of the job applications across other sites.
2. Basepay. My brainchild from my stint in the antiwork subreddit years ago. It is basically Glassdoor but for minimum wage jobs, and would include a map so applicants can filter based on distance. Current employees can also review their employers, it would show job benefits (college tuition, retirement plans, healthcare), and help those struggling to increase their pay at entry level or non-skilled jobs.
3. Seniors helping seniors LOCAL branch. My step-dad is working on and succeeding in Minnesota a business where seniors can sign up to help other seniors with basic daily tasks such as housework, gardening, or even keeping company. He already has customers and is expanding the business day by day. I am on the other side of the country so I could start a local branch and we could burn the candle from both ends.
My girlfriend narrowed down her business idea to an audio visualization DAW plug in. Her target demographic is solo producers/ artists like her, and schools which would have an easier time teaching audio mixing with a proper visualizer.
I will continue to update this thread with my progress. I return from Guatemala on Thursday. If you have any suggestions or advice, please let me know. Thank you all, for the support and using your moments to read this.
