    GOLD! HOT! 
    What are your thoughts/feelings on the difference between running a services business, versus running a products business? I was considering starting an agency, but I'm not sure if I want to tie my time to money like that, and have employees I have to manage, etc. I'm considering just doing a...

    How I test my startup ideas with landing pages

    IDEA 
    This is a great point. Just like you might have to pivot your actual product a few times to hit the mark, you may end up having to pivot your landing page a few times to hit the market, or some kind of product-market-fit. @EntrepreNerd -- I think this is a great way to validate an idea...

    How do you generate ideas?

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA 
    A little trick I like to use... keep one of your browser tabs open at all time, and track the keyword #frustrated on Twitter --> https://twitter.com/search?q=%23frustrated&src=typed_query . You'll see a TON of first world problems come up. A lot of them are petty. Teenagers complaining about...

    Real Estate Job vs starting business

    INTRO 
    Yeah I'm working on an app idea myself but it would cost $30-50k to build it out, so I'm working on what the MVP should look like and then finding a technical cofounder. I would HIGHLY suggest that you check out Y Combinators videos and do research before starting an app. Check it out here: Y...

    Real Estate Job vs starting business

    INTRO 
    Hey Seth. So I'm in a similar position, but real estate is actually my side gig (doing sales as a realtor). My main gig is designing apps (UI/UX). My personal opinion is that you shouldn't leave your day job until you have some level of success. What does that mean? A certain amount of money...

    How to Test Your Ideas Without Building a Company First

    IDEA 
    Never heard that term before but I like it. I was going to use something like that for a supplement product I want to make. You could use FB ads and something like Unbounce to create some quick landing pages. Tell us more sire...

    Does anyone write business plans?

    A few weeks ago, I had coffee with the managing director of one of the top tech accelerators. He meets with 1,000 founders.... PER QUARTER. He said he (and people like him) doesn't even pay attention to business plans. He pays more attention to the team, the track record for the team, how much...

    The Freelance Competitor You Don't Know You Have..

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I run into this a lot on when I'm looking at agency websites, or freelancer websites. They always say "I am a ____ " or "We are a ____." Who gives a shit? What can you do for ME? How about "Double your marketing with our ___." It's YOU focused, not ME focused. Everybody has their radio tuned...

    Jobs aren't bad.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I totally agree. So many people demonize jobs and they throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you look at life/business as a game, getting a job at some point along the way is just a singe MOVE on the board. It can give you needed income, knowledge, and experience. I've learned a ton by...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    I get what you’re saying about the feature update on IG/FB, but something like that would only happen if they saw some SERIOUS value in it. And by that point, I could possibly exit early. Or be profiting by then at least. Snapchat was a billion dollar company when they copied them. I don’t see...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    I have not heard of this lad, I'll check him out, thanks. I have heard of the "Real Men Real Style" channel, which I loved. Real Men Real Style . Getting somebody like this on board as an equity partner would be interesting. The thing about fashion is there's so many small nuances, everybody...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    I think what caught my attention on this one, was a fun app I downloaded (found on Product Hunt) called "Face Off." It was a similar idea, but it was way more simple and just helped you pick which profile picture was better, for Facebook. It was strangely addictive, and was really cool to get...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    That would be pretty cool actually. Maybe a future feature? Curious, are you part of the target market? ( young men and women, ages 15-35, fashion conscious and care about their social image)

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    They have a lot of those apps, but there's too much decision fatigue for the voters. It's too vague, and doesn't feel like a "game" where you "pick the winner." But you can almost always choose which looks better, and so you start to learn which things look better relative to others. The idea...

    Hey guys, I'll make this one short and sweet. Here's the link to the clickable prototype ---> Loading Share Experience The value prop: get close-to-instant feedback on outfit/style choices using crowdsourced split testing. How it works: 1) you upload photos of 2 different looks you're...

    Progress update and UI/UX online course idea

    IDEA 
    Yeah I think the stats on courses is that MOST people won't succeed because they don't finish the course and/or take action. But I can provide as much legitimate value as I possibly can, bu it's on the student to do the work. I worked from a coffee shop in Colombia for a couple weeks earlier...

    Progress update and UI/UX online course idea

    IDEA 
    Well, yeah it will obviously take some time. If you sell any course, there will be a learning curve, and the student has to put in the work. But in 6 months, I could see them being able to accomplish it. How is it any different than any of the other courses out there?

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

    I always thought one of the attractive things about working online while traveling is the arbitrage opportunity. If you aren't paying rent, car payment, car insurance, utilities, cable, etc etc etc and you could sell a lot of your stuff, while living in a cheap place and making $USD... why the...
