    I am only working 3 hours a day!

    MINDSET 
    From reading through this thread, it looks like you are attempting to put in a full day's work, but you're only putting in 3 hours. You're trying to get leverage over yourself to define what you're going to do, and then actually do it. You're not against leisure and breaks, in fact, you're TOO...

    Have you ever used online auctions?

    I think your wording is not clear. "If you have ever run an online auction for a product you wanted to sell" - to me this sounds like you're looking for people who have built their own proprietary auction app. Are you asking for people who have sold anything on any auction site? e.g. ebay? Maybe...

    Website project outsourcing

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING 
    Bummer, I'm sorry to hear that this has been such a brutal journey for you! Sounds like you just want to hire someone to do this for you. In that case, what's stopping you from researching a great SEO expert and bringing them on to do the work? Is that all you need to do to solve this?

    What are some indicators that you are ready to quit your 9-5 job?

    MINDSET 
    In 2016, I went through a failed version of this experiment. I had a runway of about 6 months in savings. I had some legitimate business skills and knowledge that I believed I could monetize. I set a hard deadline where if I wasn't making money in 3 months, I would have to look for a job. I...

    Hey @Unleashed - Welcome to the forum. If you don't know which products you need, be VERY slow to pay money for things that promise to grow your website asap. There are too many people out there who will separate you from your money while never delivering on the promise. Here's a link to...

    Software dev w/no domain experience... what to do?

    @Guidance I'm so glad to hear that you felt motivated to try again! I'm hearing a lot of "I can't," and I think that is part of the problem. What if you approached this with the idea that "this is figure-out-able, and it's only a matter of time before I hit on the winning idea"? Try this...

    Cold emailing for service businesses

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for the recommendation, @Andy Black ! I pulled it up the other day and they had me at "Imagine you're a freleance logo designer. How would you use cold email to land all the A-list clients that you could handle?" But I couldn't listen to the whole thing that day. Just now got to finish...

    Hello, I am new here. My name is Nadia Zimmer and I am from Vancouver Canada.

    What is your specific question? What do you need advice about? For lack of more specifics, maybe focus on one thing until it gets up and running to reliably bring you income. Then move to the other ideas. Welcome to the forum!

    Software dev w/no domain experience... what to do?

    I don't understand. You can build software. Is every piece of software already built that will ever need to be built for the rest of the history of the world? Is everything on earth already fully automated to the extent that it ever will be possible to do? Your thinking is dead wrong: "I...

    Am I Killing it Off?

    I think it's a good idea to balance your time between the job and the fastlane business. The main thing I see missing from this list is self care. You have only factored in 6 hours of sleep, and you have factored in 0 time to eat. Based on your other thread, one of the biggest threats to...

    I read the book and made a video about it...

    INTRO 
    Nice job on the video, and welcome to the forum. Just out of curiosity, it seems like you've created "stock" elements that you use over and over again, such as the font and the scribbles. So I'm guessing that the marker itself is just a prop and not something that's drawing? I don't know much...

    Are You Weak? This Exercise Will Show You

    What? If you tried the cold shower exercise, it certainly wasn't anyone but yourself who tortured you... :innocent: :halo: (By the way, since you're an insider, I'm guessing you don't see any ads, but the ad appearing in your post is almost like it's a custom illustration for the...

    Think Big, and Then Think Bigger Than That.

    GOLD! 
    Seth Godin's blog post today has a great list of 23 things - all legitimate real-world problems that would fit nicely into the "think bigger" category. I don't agree with every item on the list (e.g. #15), but it's a great thought exercise and idea starter. (Read Seth's whole post for context)...

    What do you guys think of my copywriting ad?

    This is a great point, and I'm glad you worked this in to your copy. Made your argument stronger. C.D.? What does C.D. stand for? This is confusing. It requires me to pause, scan through for what I missed, and not finding it, wonder why this is not better explained. What is the "C" in CD? Why...

    Help a struggling Wantraprenuer.

    Interesting. There are details here that bring up further thoughts. For instance, you don't have the name of the resident, only "Current resident." My realtor sent out a mailing on our behalf, and her labels had the names of the residents (at least whoever was listed in city records as the...

    Help a struggling Wantraprenuer.

    Maybe advise the user to zoom in to get a smaller sample area if their rectangle is too big. I didn't think this would be exorbitant; it was just two counties, so I wouldn't have thought to go smaller. Possible use cases: Realtors who want to target a few neighborhoods with a mailing Dentists...
