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

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Commitment to the end result comes first. You may now know the how yet, but if you're committed, you'll find a way (trial and error, asking others with experience, etc). From there, it takes courage, you won't have 100% assurance, it's a leap of faith. You have to be willing to be/feel stupid...

    Co-Founder Experiences?

    I would start by building an advisory board/board of directors, assuming this is going to be a big scale project, eventually. One of those members should be a technical guy that has experience doing several projects like you propose. In the process of finding and interviewing for these...

    Why Value? Can't we just make money?

    MINDSET 
    You have a point-- one way you can add value to the forum is to address the question in specific threads to get the discussion going.

    Interested in Digital Marketing? Why not try pay per appointment/show model? Ask anything you need!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Yes, chasing payments isn't fun-- I'm still waiting on $4000 from client for work done in November, while they want to add more projects. No more work until past payments are paid. I still like the model, just needs a few tweaks: 1) Upfront payments--it takes some of the appeal away of "no...

    Why Value? Can't we just make money?

    MINDSET 
    Any particular thread you can reference? For the most part, value is inherent in success-- it's the market responding positively to something they find valuable. I can't think of any example on the forum where that's not been the case. There may not be an explicit list laid out neatly...

    Recycling related new venture - progress report post

    Ask the supplier's salespeople for leads on who buys the end product. Find out the title of person who is in charge of buying your commodity. LinkedIn is a great resource for finding names and titles. Start reaching out via connecting, email, messages, etc. You can take the approach of, " Can...

    Marketing: digital menu for restaurants/bars/other locations with physical menus

    I would challenge this assumption-- how else would you get restaurant owners to try it out and use it?

    Marketing: digital menu for restaurants/bars/other locations with physical menus

    MARKETING 
    1) You have to start talking to restaurant owners, as many as possible, to get real feedback. 2) You can start to build a rough revenue model (after you do the above). a) What are restaurants paying to update menus/pricing today? b) Sanitation--could be another angle-- how much time/effort is...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    It's worth the time and effort to learn a skill or set of skills. Whether or not it's web development depends on your interests, inclinations, ability, etc. Other possible skills that can be useful to you include coding, sales (ancillary skills include speaking and writing), paid ads, or...

    2 hours of cold calls a day

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Great progress! Cold calling is highly underrated in business. Be careful with the free trials. Make sure you have a process to walk people through the trial to make sure they actually login to use it, and to answer questions. Otherwise they will easily get lost in followup abyss or even forget...

    I don’t feel well rested

    HEALTH 
    All good suggestions. I would add: no caffeine after 4pm, cotton sheets, good pillow, and comfortable temperature in the bedroom. I've had good luck with a supplement called Tranquil, a bit steep $, but works well. Do you exercise? If all the above don't work, it could be a sleep disorder...

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Can you build out a sales team and do outsourced sales for other companies? I would think that would be your fastest path to the fastlane-- sales as a service.

    My crude understanding of both definitions: All information is taken into account by the "market" in order to arrive at a price that results, in effect, in no upside. So, the cost of insurance would cancel out all returns by this definition. Another question: does the insurance only cover...

    HOT! 
    Just came across this thread. I like the simple village explanation and think I see what you mean. 2 questions: 1) have you back tested your approach to see if it works in varied markets? 2) Ultimately, doesn't it come down to the price/cost of your hedging? If the cost of insurance goes...
