Fix your CV using both a recruiter and AI (ask it for best practises for writing CV), and ask someone in your field whose job...

    I secured my first six-figure contract today through my business practice. I’m not rich or in the fastlane by any means, but I’m really happy that MJ and this forum showed me another way to make money apart from payroll. Thanks guys!

    Today I built the simplest automation using Make, with ChatGPT in the loop to parse data from emails. It could just as easily handle voice or images. It honestly feels like magic. Makes you wonder why we’re still paying for expensive software when you can build these things yourself.

    Is there a way to pitch to big businesses? I find that pitching to big businesses for freelancing gigs literally feels like an interview. Alternatively, I have recruiting agencies handle the initial pitch on my behalf, so I can leave the parts I’m not strong at to them. I think having...

    I have worked in finance and data analytics jobs are everywhere. What can you do now with analytics? Can you build a dashboard on Tableau or Power BI for instance? Do you know SQL or R? What can you do in Excel? What level are you? 1300EUR for a course? Thats way too much money for knowledge...

    What a F*cking amazing story! Now, scratch your own itch with the money! Unsolicited advice incoming: Skip the real estate. Instead, set up a stichting (a Dutch nonprofit foundation; easy to register, no capital required). Its mission? To help donor-conceived people figure out who they are and...

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

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    Great proposals overall! However, this one isn’t feasible because construction companies mostly operate through their own dealer networks, think something like Toyota that works with Toyota Andy Black Ireland. That said, he could target the dealers directly, especially since rental is becoming...

    I feel the pain. Used to work for construction machinery company and it was full of 150 years old dinosaurs stuck in their ways. I am actually impressed with your work in this. How did you acquire your first customer? What worked really? Maybe share your landing page? I hope someone in the forum...

    I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution

    SAAS / APPS 
    Nice work on taking action! That said, I’d strongly suggest rethinking how ZBA is presented. Right now, it’s confusing, not just for non-accountants, but for professionals too. For example, showing revenue as a negative number just feels wrong to most people including me. Unless you're...

    Olive oil production in Spain. In need of advice before settling for the business.

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Agriculture is inherently low-margin, high-risk and capital-intensive. A €50,000 investment in three hectares of olives is unlikely to yield more than €7,000–€10,000 per person per year (after year 5) under best-case conditions. I think it is a pipe dream. With these returns better work at...

    Try NotebookLM from Google. Will do the work for sure if Gemini fails. It does not hallucinate with predictions from its knowledge base or crap people posted on the internet that it pulled.

    You made me research what sloppy seconds are. Learned something new. Wasn't dissapointed. Always be improving. @BPH1994 jokes asside, what is stopping you from selling face to face man? What are you afraid of really? If you don't get over the rejection and not put in the reps nothing is...

    Fastlane-ish and growing. Now what?

    MINDSET RANT 
    Being frustrated with yourself is a necessary part of growth. As we age, our values and interests inevitably shift. If you don’t actually want more power or money, don’t chase them. No one’s forcing you. Pausing to “smell the roses” matters: running faster in the wrong direction is pointless...
