    Fastlane Idea

    IDEA RANT 
    Data Analysis is easier to learn, unless you go into the math heavy stuff with Data Science. Either way, you're looking at at least 4-6 months of study before you'll have a good enough grasp of the skill to offer value to a company. And then you'll have to learn how to market yourself. A whole...

    I’m a selfish bastard, and that has caused me to fail.

    I've been reading an interesting take on this in Jordan Peterson's book, 12 Rules for Life. He states that giving to others is based on delaying gratification. I'm going to scratch your back first so that when I need my back scratched, you'll be more likely to help out. It costs me little to...

    Nice, that's probably where I picked it up from. I'm a big fan of Atomic Habits.

    My Wife Thinks I'm a Coward!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    You might not be doing the work because you might not see yourself as a business owner. It's not your "role". If I see myself as someone that is fit and in shape, it's a lot easier to work out. It will feel normal. If I see myself as a lazy person (and often make self-deprecating jokes about...

    How do you get your emails to go to the primary folder?

    MARKETING 
    Try removing images one by one until it goes to primary inbox. Then if that still doesn't work, try removing all fonts, use default only. As a last resort, you can turn off open-tracking. If none of those work, maybe share your email template and subject line here. Some folks might be able to...

    Personality Isn't Permament, Bejamanin Hardy (Transcend yourself...)

    HOT! BOOKS 
    Haha I love the thread and summaries, but this made me laugh. I would recommend taking that wallpaper off in this case. Put something there that is more inspiring.

    Should I rent, go travel, buy a home - or something else? (While building a business)

    No in-person events that I know of, but the beach and pathways up and down the coast always have people walking around so it's been easy to stay social. That has been a life-saver for me.

    The use of marijuana...

    MINDSET 
    I used to love smoking weed on weekends and thought it helped me see things differently and be more creative. Nope, it just tricked me back into a numbed comfort zone where nothing exciting or productive got done. Might be great for some of you guys but I find that I operate better with a...

    Any market niches that would benefit from a business optimization/analysis service?

    Hey man, you gotta do your own research. No one here is going to be able to validate your idea for you. You have to test it on the market. If you haven't done any customer interviews, Google "customer discovery process" and begin your journey. It's a lot of work to validate a new offer. This...

    Am I in the Wrong Business, or Is This How It Is? (Feeling Resistance)

    MINDSET 
    Oh man, your question hits close to home. I've found this "grind" feeling occurs in every business project I've ever started. It starts creeping in around the 2-3 month mark. For me, I've decided that I need to be doing the project to work toward a bigger mission. Therefor, I reflected on my...

    Should I rent, go travel, buy a home - or something else? (While building a business)

    Funny you mentioned this, I was honestly considering this as an option a little over a year ago. My options were: Go to Playa Del Carmen and freelance Move to Santa Monica in LA and work a full-time software job I ended up with option two. In hindsight, taking a full-time job and living here...

    About to finish a coding bootcamp, while simultaneously starting a web design biz . . . losing my motivation to continue coding

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Coding bootcamps are expensive. I would only recommend them to someone that wanted to get a job as a programmer. You don't need to spend 8k to learn how to build a software product. At that point, you might as well just hire overseas developers to build the thing for you while you focus on the...

    6 months of entrepreneurship/lifestyle building & heading towards first millions execution process

    EXECUTION 
    Kinda sounds like a passion project. What's the need in the market? Where's the value-skew? There are hundreds of thousands of blogs regarding men's health, fitness and discipline. Maybe your app is providing a market-need but you haven't mentioned that so right now this all sounds like a hobby.

    How confident were you in your idea when you started? How about a month later?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    This is why the "why" matters so much. I've stopped several projects because of the current realization you're now having. The big reason was because the projects didn't matter that much to me. I was basically money-chasing but didn't realize it. Luckily I spotted this (after several years of...

    PHYSICS: I'm in the middle of a new theory that could change the world, and I don't know how to help the scientists.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I fell for something like this a few years ago so I can relate. I won't go into the details, but the invention was in tech. The person claimed to have discovered an algorithm that could find the best possible series of steps to achieve a desired result. He used this algorithm to write code for...
