    Software Agency? Cash Business? Im lost...

    MINDSET FTE 
    To give you some background on me: I started my entrepreneurial journey about 5 years ago (I was 17 / turning 18). I started a house cleaning business that I ran for about a year. The best we ever did was about 7K Revenue/Month. At that time I felt like I had something to brag about. Today, not...

    I became a software engineer without college as well - thanks to TFF!

    SLOWLANE SAAS / APPS 
    I’ve never been more happy about my decision to not attend college. In some cases it makes sense, but majority of the time I think it’s a terrible financial decision.

    I became a software engineer without college as well - thanks to TFF!

    SLOWLANE SAAS / APPS 
    Inspired by @GrayCode and @csalvato, I started learning to code in late 2019. It was actually this forum thread that inspired me! I took immediate action after I read that thread, enrolled in an online software engineering school, followed tons of tutorials on Udemy, and built a few side...

    restarting my life

    INTRO 
    My purpose to be in business right now is money. I feel like I should be in a business where I’m not “re-inventing the wheel” so to speak. Unless I feel financially free, I feel like there’s no reason for me to be messing with “higher-risk” business models. That’s why I considered getting into...

    restarting my life

    INTRO 
    The biggest challenge I have is, I seem to just be naturally horrible at identifying problems and needs in the world. I understand the CENTS commandments, but I don't have much industry knowledge into anything niche enough where I could build something in a "blue ocean" environment. Thats why...

    restarting my life

    INTRO 
    My life is restarting essentially. I've moved cities and have to become succesful. I'm 23 years old and have owned a service business (in the cleaning industry). I did that from 18-21. I've had a couple "FTEs" this month, and the fire is still lit. I was inspired by another member here and took...

    Had to call it quits today.

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    No worries, you didn't fail. You just learned. Time to move on to the next thing.

    I am learning programming to create apps, any programming book recommendations would be appreciated

    Depends on what language you are going to start with. I'd start with a language like Ruby, Python Or Javascript.. Just google "Best [language] programming books"

    Ideal webdev tech stack for today's MJ-wannabes?

    IDEA 
    Just like others said, don't get so caught up in choosing technologies. Once you master one language, the concepts/principals carry over to the next. PHP/Laravel, Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, JS/Node.js are popular/proven languages and frameworks. If you already have an idea you're pursuing...

    Web Development, need answers from people who DO

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Agree with @eliquid & @Jon L... Don't worry about languages or anything at this point. Use anything you can to get to your desired product or MVP. Mark Zuckerberg probably coded thousands of hours on FB, but probably hasn't written a line of code for FB in years. Once you're making $$$ you can...

    What to do with 180K (one more)

    INVESTING 
    I agree with most people here. You should start some sort of business, and you shouldn't invest more than 5-10K. Reason being, its very possible for your first business to fail regardless if you invest 50k or 5k. I would say you should find a business thats been done over and over again, no...

    Have an idea for an app. Should I hire or learn programming?

    HOT! IDEA 
    If you don't have lots of money to develop your app , you'll need to figure out how to get some or learn to code. There are some "No-code" apps you can use to build a prototype of your app. It might be smart to do something like that first, maybe test the market to see if theres demand and then...

    Lost in the Cold Waters of Life (I need guidance)

    INTRO 
    Okay listen, first things first. I started at 17/18 like you and let me say this: YOU ARE YEARS AHEAD of most people. Not saying that its wrong to get started with your fastlane journey at a later age, but you could literally spend the next 5 years putting effort into something and failing and...

    Thinking about quitting my job - Looking for advice

    Well you've managed to create $4-5K in monthly income WHILE working at your job so congrats you're doing better than a lot of people already. If you cannot continue to grow that number WHILE working your job, then it might be time to quit. If you are able to grow more while working the job...

    Information regarding app development? (Create Your Own VS Outsource Developer VS In-House Developer)

    Pros to learning to code would be its much more inexpensive to bootstrap your venture (you can build it on your own). But it's going to take much longer for you to get your product finished. With a developer you're going to run through your $10K much quicker than you think (unless you...

    Any iOS developers around?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I'm not an iOS dev, but I am learning web development and I would agree with what most people here said. You don't need to learn to code if your main goal is entrepreneurship. But it can be useful if you want to get into a SaaS/App business. Biggest pro's I see are that it gives you a stable...

    Should I get a job?

    If the business is not creating enough income to pay for your personal necessities (food/rent/etc), and to fund the GROWTH bills for your business (marketing is a big one). You should probably get a job. This was a hard one for me to learn. If you don't have skills that will put you in a decent...
