    People Are Desperate...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If I know I'm going to be standing in line anyway, I might as well get paid for it. (Not that I would ever stand in line for a phone, but just saying)

    Doubting My Idea

    IDEA MINDSET 
    quote="Kevin90, post: 398167, member: 22060"]Do you have any suggestions as to how I go about putting my limiting beliefs aside and have to courage to put this idea into practice? I'm guessing you are hesitating to put yourself out there because you're afraid of rejection. You don't want to...

    One Doctor's Journey

    EXECUTION 
    Maybe it's just me - but I feel like this never goes away, no matter how easy it was in the past. I could cold call 5 people, get all 5 to sign up, be happy with myself and confident, and wake up the next morning finding every excuse possible not to call people. I don't really understand it, but...

    2 Months in and my designer drops the ball-- frustrated

    I had a similar issue with my baby product - I had a rough first draft version that I made at home, but wanted some bells and whistles for the version I wanted to present to companies for licensing. I thought I could find an industrial designer, tell them the features I was looking for, and have...

    Denial of Agency is the Seed From Which All Sidewalking Grows

    Fortunately (or unfortunately) they are telling us exactly how to market to them. Want to run an effective ad? Play to this "unfairness" and offer to solve it for them. Eg "It's not your fault that you are overweight - no one told you that you're eating all the wrong foods and not taking the 1...

    Finding and sticking to something?

    MINDSET 
    Think of it this way-would you want to work for a company where the CEO had never managed people before? Would you want to live in an apartment building managed by someone with no experience? Would you, as an investor, give money to someone with little-to-no track record-would you go "I worked...

    Don't be me: a tale of giving up too early.

    Have a few irons in the fire and doing quite well-just wanted to let people know that failure to see your concept through can lead to what I experienced. Don't get discouraged by a few failures, especially if your underlying concept is solid.

    Lost and Tired seeking advices.

    My recommendation is to find an expert in food franchising and determine if a franchise model is right for your niche (maybe someone on here, otherwise talk to some franchise owners in your area to get a feel for the business from there end, and maybe seek out a session or two of professional...

    A job isn't something you "get"...

    GOLD! 
    The thing is that in the future, fewer people will be "hiring" in the traditional sense of the word. The traditional model of 9-5, 40hrs/wk work is being replaced by part time and outsourced, task-oriented work. So while the OP might not be "hiring employess" for fulltime work, he could very...

    Question about HUGE competitors..

    First - creating the product is never the hardest part. With enough money and/or time you can always get stuff made. The key is sales and distribution. Do you have experience/contacts for this in the UK? Second - maybe a better route is to simply approach the companies from the US and say you...

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    Medical stuff is a little more complicated. There are a lot of laws in this arena - the CEO himself cannot railroad something through clinical trials, legal review, etc. Even in the most extreme example - say the experimental vaccine for ebola that's currently being pushed through emergency...

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    There are few things faster than EMS, even within the medical field. It's a tough adjustment (imagine going from EMS to federal government bureaucracy!). But like you said, once you get one to come on board, the floodgates will open. That's why JEMS is so critical - it's the only EMS publication...

    One Doctor's Journey

    EXECUTION 
    It's likely they were so angry because they married the job a long time ago, and the only way they justify that to themselves is if they tell themselves that there is literally nothing else worth doing in life than being in medicine (something they were likely told by others, including their...

    A job isn't something you "get"...

    GOLD! 
    Instantly one of my favorite posts on the forum. This fundamental concept (how jobs work) is something I've had to explain countless times. People believe there is this repository of jobs that businesses are hoarding; that if they would only stop being less mean/less greedy/more patriotic, the...

    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    How about you 1) learn the appropriate uses for "Progress Thread" and "Ask Me Anything" (hint, neither is for soliciting advice), and 2) stop spamming the OP's post with your negativity. If you want to start a thread about how the forum is filled with depressed men looking for the next get quick...

    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    I have a feeling that the total net worth of the members who replied to this forum is well over eight figures. I also have a feeling that some of the respondents are founders of companies the OP might like. Would you mind posting the link to your intro post where you tell us all about your...

    Looking for a mentor already in the Fastlane

    HOT! 
    First, it sounds like you already know what your problem is. You want the money/success too fast - the way your post read, you do something for a few days/weeks, are depressed that you aren't making money, and in a desperate attempt to make money switch to the next thing. That's going to be a...
