    A career to fall back on?

    QUESTION 
    Honestly, I think I have a very good idea with a strong brand identity and story that would market well. However, I don’t have anything to fall back on that would either be fulfilling or financially fulfilling. Lots of anxiety around starting both and the risks are high. I don’t want to have...

    A career to fall back on?

    QUESTION 
    You made a thread on the diploma and we said to not do it. Jewelry is not an easy business to get into, some reasons are: 1. Many hobbyists / passionate competitors (it's hard to compete if you have competitors workign for free or even at a loss) 2. Product lasts a long time leading to less...

    INTRO 
    Nice, you seem like a very organised young man, with a good support network around you. Keep up your dog walking business. Concentrate on improving your service and finding new problems to solve, whether those problems involve dogs/pets, or not. You may want to follow @biophase, he runs a very...

    ...degree, good benefits, and a pension. I agree with some of their advice, like getting a university degree for the credentials and networking opportunities it provides, which could lead to a higher-income job. However, I heavily disagree with other parts—like the idea of climbing the...

    Massive Scale Cross-Border Amazon Arbitrage

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    I think a modified version of this could be sold to customs departments of national governments. Selling to these customers could be even larger scale although getting my foot in the door will require a lot of hustle. Once I get Amazon signed up and I free myself from my full time job I could...

    Hunger in the eyes of a 24-year-old: the diary of my entrepreneurial journey

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I think this is a really valuable advice. We dont have to think the end customers are going to be job seekers who are less likely to spend. They can be recruitment firms, hiring engineering managers, companies that need to target fresh engineers to break into an established market, etc

    Hunger in the eyes of a 24-year-old: the diary of my entrepreneurial journey

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    One way to look at this is to go hard on the free side for the engineers so you can create a network effect here. In other words pull them in so you can sell access to them (ads, messages, etc.) to companies that need to recruit them and need labor data (can sell annual reports on data you got...

    Funny enough I just ordered the Starlink Roam mini yesterday. It just got shipped and will arrive Sunday. I ended up going this route rather the the Roam standard and residential for 2 reasons. 1. This will mainly be used when traveling. My wife needed a secure internet connection and her work...

    What are some creative ways YOU would promote this campaign?

    SPEEDWAY 
    In my opinion, it would probably help to know the nature of your non-charity organisation. When we're talking about creative ideas, it's pretty good to know the context. Like if you're crowdfunding to cure cancer, you could shave bits of your hair off for every €1000 raised. To save you from...

    What are some creative ways YOU would promote this campaign?

    SPEEDWAY 
    A bit of a long post, so I'll divide it into two sections. A little context I recently made a personal move I've had in mind for a very long time. I started a 501(c))(3) tax-exempt nonprofit in the US, which addresses a specific and important common problem. The impact it will have isn't...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Substack doesn't give you control and can censor you or ban you whenever they want. Codie Sanchez was banned from there. For me, Kit all the way, also because of their Creator Network that can bring a LOT of subscribers. Some people get thousands of subscribers a year from their program.

    The critcial component of my projects is developing scalable marketing and sales. DMing on LinkedIn for business is a start. But it will never produce a fastlane opportunity as DMs are constrained by time. For the budgeting business. This is actually producing 550/month in MRR. Website...

    Pivoting to Web Design / WordPress for Biotech

    IDEA 
    I appreciate the insights & agree overall. To build on this, I used 'Deep Research' with Gemini 2.5 Pro on some overall market analysis tying into the idea. Generated a 35 page report with 118 citations in around 15 minutes.

    Pivoting to Web Design / WordPress for Biotech

    IDEA 
    Sure, the funding will be there even if reduced. My point was that if you are going to compete on cost, then now is a good time to do it. I'd say don't overestimate those non-traditional deals. Firstly, they are much fewer than you think, the majority of biotech relies on VC funding, with some...

    ...a very large % of the market that gets family-funded or goes through non-traditional routes where you would only know about this via networking. Something like a 26 year old MIT postgrad drawing $500k or $3 million from his inheritance. Or parents giving them a large loan. This will never see...
