    Prototyping a Product (Computer Model)

    They've been available for years, it's the price that they are now available at which is the astounding thing. You can use Onshape for free up to a certain point - the package that I use has cost me the best part of $1200 over the years, and that's cheap compared to some of the others...

    Prototyping a Product (Computer Model)

    For a more full functioned free (to a certain level) CAD system, which has a lot of the features of industry standard packages, like Solidworks, check out Onshape. I haven't used it personally, but have heard good things about it.

    All Work No Play?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I build models and have an old car that I tinker with. I rebuilt the gearbox for the car last year, which was a really satisfying achievement, especially when it was put back into the car and it worked! I also enjoy cooking and baking.

    (Free) Breaking The Time Barrier

    BOOKS 
    I think that's a natural tendency, it's something I know that I've done in the past. Thanks for posting the link to the book, it's definitely opened my eyes to several possibilities.

    ...What about owning a MLM company?

    Yet, despite that, there's always new MLM schemes and people getting involved with them. It's strange. It's a model that's proven to work in terms of enriching the people who own the company, so it's a good idea in that respect. You just need to find the right product and market it in the...

    Do you feel a barrier between you and 'regular' people?

    PEOPLE 
    Building on the post above, in order to be interesting to others, you need to be interested in others (I think that one is from Jay Abraham). If you ask questions and listen to others, instead of talking about yourself, they'll find you far more interesting. I've tried it and it works. We...

    I've never tried that, but have tried the Glasgow delicacy that is a deep fried Mars Bar. It was OK, but I don't think I'd have another one!

    What do you drive?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm currently driving a Mercedes! Admittedly it is 10 years old and has done nearly 124,000 miles, but I love it. It's the most reliable and comfortable car I've ever owned and I'll be disappointed if I don't get over 200,000 miles from it. Edit - It looks a lot like this...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    I think it's great when people share their mistakes and things that didn't go so well. It's a natural tendency for us to only want to report the good stuff, but life isn't all unicorns and rainbows, all of the time. Only showing what goes great can demoralise others, particularly if they're...

    Why did this product fail?

    Yep, that's what every plant in our house has, at a cost significantly less than that product. They get more water poured in the dish when they look a bit droopy.

    2017 Fastlane Summit (Official Announcement)

    MEETUPS 
    Your health is the most important thing you can have, along with time. Wishing you a speedy recovery MJ. On a more selfish note, postponing the event to 2018 increases my chance of being there!

    Meditation and Fastlaners ? Do you practice it ? Looking for insights please :)

    HEALTH 
    I only recently took up meditation, I'd dismissed it as 'woo-woo' for years, but about two months ago decided to try it. I can't believe what a difference it's made. I've become more self aware, less easily irritated and I don't get angry anywhere near as often as I used to. I've still got a...

    Progress Thread - Bootstrapping a Beauty Business

    SPEEDWAY 
    I'm really glad you didn't, what you're demonstrating clearly is the process and the work that has to go into the event. Otherwise, I think people get the wrong idea about what goes on and what's actually involved in making a success of something. Here's hoping you make a complete success of...

    Thanks for letting me know. That sounds really interesting, I think I'll have to check out the insiders sub.

    Do you need to hire a co-packer/manufacture for your food product first before getting a distributor

    You could start locally, with small independent stores, and visit them in person with your samples. That way you establish rapport with the business owners and could start building sales up from a small base. Once you're more established, then you could start reaching out to larger stores...

    @SinisterLex did you ever expand on this anywhere? I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the subject. I've done this a couple of times now and have come out as INTP, which seems to fit pretty well.

    Do you need to hire a co-packer/manufacture for your food product first before getting a distributor

    You could contact a manufacturer and get an idea of cost. Then you could tout it round stores, with samples from your current production to secure preorders. Get payment in advance and then fund the production run from the preorders. Rinse and repeat.

    A question of scale and magnitude

    I've learnt in the last couple of weeks that the size of your business is limited only by your vision and your willing to execute. For example, this company started small, self funded and turned over £28 million in 2014: http://startups.co.uk/the-entrepreneur-rune-sovndahl-fantastic-services/...

    NOTABLE! 
    I like the format as it is. Yes, you have to listen to extract the nuggets, but then that makes you concentrate more on the conversation and you may pick up things that you'd otherwise miss.
