    Built a Niche SaaS for Construction Equipment Rentals – What Am I Doing Wrong and How Do I Reach More Customers?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    ...fight each other. I’m planning to sell the codebase to people who want to build their own game but are afraid of the complex parts like networking and core systems. I know it’s a niche market, but the amount of code I’ve written is significant, so maybe there’ll be some enthusiasts out there...

    Guys, I gotta come clean, I’m reading Unscripted right now, and it hit me hard. I’ve been lying to myself and all of you. I don’t love working with metal, I actually hate it. lol After 10 years of burns from welding, nearly losing fingers to the angle grinder or tin snips, breathing toxic fumes...

    Building from scratch again - Documenting the journey

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everyone. I'm returning after a long time away from the forum. Been rereading The Millionaire Fastlane and keen to build a new business again. Thought I'd document the process for my own accountability, and if it helps others as well. For my background story, you can check out my re-intro...

    ...another hour or so left in me working on this project. Beyond that, I'm actively reaching out to past contacts and working on digging up networking events or opportunities. No time for youtube or video games. It's just crazy because back when I was wage-slaving I'd get back after a long day...

    Maybe start a thread on "Watch Investing"? Or is it a secret sauce you want to keep private? I understand if so, no worries.

    ...investing because I know exactly how much profit I can make and exactly how much I can lose BEFORE buying. I also like it because it's a networking tool. I live in Silicon Valley where having tons of money doesn't make you unique. Having quirky shared interests with others does. Here's a...

    16 Year Old in The Pursuit of Wealth. No, I didn't say millions. I said WEALTH

    Yeah I see what you mean. Honestly, right now I'm just trying to go from 0$ -> Anything. I'm pretty sure that once I get money, I will get momentum and make way more than I can even imagine. But right now I'm stuck in the pre. Stuck with 0$ MRR. No network, no leverage, no clients, no income...

    How do you stop self sabotaging for good?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I noticed your "handle" on this forum. Are you really suffering? Can you change your handle and your perception of your experience and position in the world? Is the glass half empty or half full? Do you count the wins or the rough knocks?

    Thank you for sharing this insightful thread. My key takeaway is that unconscious beliefs often hinder progress. I resonate with this Once believed failure defined me as a loser, but this perspective reveals that true losers are those who don’t act. I notice this pattern in others who avoid...

    That’s a big part of it. If your heart isn’t into the job and you are that frustrated… chances are you are not doing anyone any favours by being there. Your employer recognized that and made the decision for you. And it’s a good decision for both you and your employer. It is good. Best of...

    ...Hmm. I'm not a big fan of networking events - too many people seem to be in pitch mode. I prefer going to courses and workshops for local business owners. Say you went to a workshop on how to use LinkedIn for your business. At the start you're often asked to quickly introduce yourself and...
