    Financial Minimalism is Anti-Fastlane/Unscription

    MINDSET RANT 
    You don't get rich by saving a few bucks. You get there by earning more than you could possibly spend (within reason). You sell a company, create a cashflow business, etc. Saving $10 bucks a day on whatever causes you so much more mental harm than the $300/mo you're saving can buy you. If...

    I'm disappointed in education and the labor market(looking for help)

    EXECUTION 
    Go start a home service business. It's all on my YouTube if you want to watch. Go hustle and stop making excuses. No one gives a F*ck if your life is hard. Look at any successful person, do you think they whined on the internet to random strangers giving a bullet point list of why they CAN'T...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    @Walter Hay Thank you VERY much for that advice. Is it difficult/expensive to have them re do the mold AFTER the initial product run? Is there a time frame where the factory will deem the product "successful" if we re order "too quickly" ? In other words, if we sell the innitial production...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    I had my friends dad who is a patent lawyer file for a provisional already... does that do anything? I'm mainly worried about the MFGs selling our schematics and molds once the product is proven to sell (in a year or so). How do I do due diligence to prevent this? Obviously building a "brand"...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    This has been our main hangup with paying a Chinese company for a mold. We pay them, they make the product. Great. We sell a bunch of them, now what? What incentive do they have NOT to sell our mold to every factory down the street, now that they know the product is a "winner" and is doing...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    We tried this as well as MFG.com, we got lots of responses but turns out all the US factories were actually Chinese factories, then the same issues occurred when they went to deal with their Chinese cohorts. We have a 3D model of the product as well as exact dimensions and materials, I'm...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    Both We planned on launching on AMZ before Q4 this year, but that's not gonna happen obviously. So I'm expecting by Q2 2021 AMZ Launch, with FB ads, giveaways, etc, possibly hire a company to do the launch as I've never done one before and want to make sure it's done right. We will also...

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    What's up guys and gals, I decided to create a progress thread for our new product in the fitness niche. It's a physical product with only 2 SKUs to begin with (2 colors same product). Per the suggestion of @MythOfSisyphus I will detail the entire process here so hopefully others can learn...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    @Rabby thanks a ton. I spoke with @Jon L about one of the things I'm trying to have built. It seems like a good starting place and seems possible in the next few months to get going on it. I also have a totally separate idea that could be used in the info marketing space I'd like to discuss...

    Hit $2275 profit today. Not my fattest day but fattest in the last two months for sure. I cannot describe the feeling when EVERYTHING goes right in a day. From wake till sleep, it couldn't have gone better. I felt like an absolute King the entire day, walking around with a beaming smile on...

    Action-faked back to a job

    INTRO 
    I'm not sure of your financial situation, or your wife's needs. But I would wager working for min wage, especially as a 7 year engineer who has a high paying skill, is not moving the needle much in either direction. I would take the next 2 weeks, learn as MUCH as you can from Home Depot, quit...

    Action-faked back to a job

    INTRO 
    Take this with a grain of salt because my home service business does NOT follow CENTS. The barrier to entry is STUPIDLY low. That being said, it's a far cry from working for minimum wage. You get to learn a LOT about all aspects of business that will 100% help you in your next ventures...

    So there are other players in the space, such as Housecall Pro, Jobber, responsibid, etc. These are all great and do mostly everything you could want. However, there are several tools, or things I want these softwares to do, but they don't... My goal here is to amass a customer list, then...

    We ended up hiring a developer/designer from Under Armor for our gym product, and it came out great, but for the cost (3.6k for a few hours of work and 3 or 4 zoom meetings for feedback/input), I wonder if we could have done better (or spent less I mean)... This is the first iteration of the...

    Was not expecting this. Why don't you try your hand at a service business? Connect inbound lead (customer) with a service provider. Keep the extra. It's that simple. I go to Home Depot about 3 times a week it seems. If I were you, I would connect the dots with the guys walking in there to...

    I think after 5 years I quit but what's next?

    HOT! FTE 
    I was caught in this for years. Guess why? It's because I was chasing "quick money" and not providing value. It's because I was building inauthentic business that did not align with my values. It's because I didn't know WHAT I wanted, or WHY I wanted it. You need to stop what you're doing...

    Just a little update for everyone, I know I've been quiet on here for a while. I moved to a new part of my city during the beginning of the summer. For the past few years, I always thought I had wanted to live in the party zone, right by the beach. So I did that. Very quickly, after only a...
