    Simply stuck...

    INTRO 
    You will need to risk your money, but not with the amount of risk that you think. Hopefully, in the seven years since you read TMFL you’ve come up with several viable ideas. I recommend you read “The Mom Test” and “The Right It”. @Two Dog has recommended “Will It Fly” as well, so check it out...

    How to determine if it’s worth continuing to develop my SaaS product?

    MARKETING 
    Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. A lot of people think any kind of cold-calling is “out there”. But if you try it you’ll find out that people are more respectful of an innovator working on improving value than a cold-calling salesman trying to push a commodity. I don’t deal with digital...

    Just checked out Contra. A few glitches in signup. Unfortunately (for me), the only technical freelancers posting seem to all be related to digital content. Probably some good opportunities for others!

    How to determine if it’s worth continuing to develop my SaaS product?

    MARKETING 
    Dig deep. They created an account so you have their email. One alternative would be to carefully craft an email explaining how you’re trying to add value to the domain and requesting a phone call to discuss the app and what they really need. BUT….I’d recommend doing it the hard way. From the...

    This could be really helpful. Vetting and digging through suppliers is usually a grueling process. While it should help product searches, I bet that (by design) it will do a lousy job of separating suppliers from true manufacturers...

    Get Fired for Severance?

    SLOWLANE 
    I definitely would NOT hang around displaying poor attitude and performance, waiting to get fired. You’d be reinforcing both poor ethics and a losing mindset. Your reputation should not be for sale. You didn’t say how many hours your job requires or how intense the work is. Has the work become...

    Heads up for those sourcing products from China. The Biden Administration's plan to move the goalpost (disallowing tariff exemptions on deminimis orders) as a means of pushing back against Chinese B2C marketplaces would likely affect B2B de minimis orders from Alibaba as well (no details...

    How to determine if it’s worth continuing to develop my SaaS product?

    MARKETING 
    If you haven’t had a conversation with every one of the users who bailed you need to get on it! you have a decent test sample and you need to find out if they were really potential customers, what lead them to disappear, and what they NEED. You will likely learn more from them than from...

    Stuck while a task is delegated!

    EXECUTION 
    Read or listen to “The Mom Test“ to learn how to engage people about your idea to get meaningful feedback. Then read ”The Right It” to learn methods for testing ideas before you invest a lot of effort and money in them. It is a statistical fact that 80-90% of business ideas fail - this includes...

    Guys, would this be feasible?

    IDEA 
    I recommend you sign on to the Inventors Meetup next Sunday. It’s a one hour open forum of FLF members at different stages of product development - and always includes a few folks who haven’t yet started anything and are just feeling out the process to decide if it’s right for them. Given your...

    I had a boss once who told me, “I don’t want to hear from you or about you.” That’s pretty much what they’re telling you. Think “Shoemaker’s elves”. They want the work done efficiently and competently with no BS. Period. A long time ago, I worked at the headquarters of one of the major oil...

    find out your products maximum market capacity in order to verify your need.

    CHAT QUESTION 
    “Need“ can be subjective. The ultimate question is will people BUY it? What leads you to believe that the question may now be irrelevant? What are your value skews? And congratulations on having an idea that you think is a “winner”! Developing a physical product is a long and tortuous, but very...

    find out your products maximum market capacity in order to verify your need.

    CHAT QUESTION 
    Recommend you read (or at least watch the youtube excerpts from) “The Mom Test” and “The Right It”. Are you talking about physical products or digital products? A more in-depth answer is dependent on the category.

    First action feedback

    IDEA 
    There is a market in older, wooded neighborhoods for trimming trees that are blocking views, rubbing on houses, or allowing access to roofs for squirrels and raccoons. I would think a professional looking flyer would get you some work and you could grow by word of mouth if you show up when you...

    Doing the absolute largest projects... But now what?

    QUESTION 
    That “swooshing“ sound you hear is the entire FLF shaking their collective heads in disbelief. You’re telling us you are $500 away from a fully functional prototype of a totally disruptive product (per your previous description) in the $130 billion/yr small kitchen appliance market, but you...

    Okay, programmers, I have a friend with a successful e-commerce business who needs to port Brandboom B2B orders into Shopify for billing and inventory control. Brandboom has told her this feature isn’t yet available. I’m no programmer but is seems like this could be done with a little API...

    Chocolate covered pineapple bars

    IDEA 
    There are several versions of chocolate covered dried pineapple on the market. The only fresh (frozen) one I’ve seen or tried came from fresh market and was coated in white chocolate and coconut. I wasn’t familiar with these but here’s an interesting story: Someone started a business by buying...
