    Fastlane On-Ramp from Self-Employed Slowlane?

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Alright... Got a guy lined up to do the contract fabrication of the most time consuming parts I have to build to produce my products. Edit: Found him via posting an ad in labor gigs on Craigslist. It's going to cost me about 10%-20% of what I currently sell them for per unit, but will save me...

    Fastlane On-Ramp from Self-Employed Slowlane?

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Hey Smark, Sorry for my brevity here. Been up and loading/delivering furniture since 1:00am, and I'm like stupid tired. I started fiddling with shopify, and I definitely have a lot to learn there. Can you imagine? I actually suck at shopify; that's how ecom illiterate I am... Presently, our...

    Fastlane On-Ramp from Self-Employed Slowlane?

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    *First process thread and attempt to add some value here. Sorry if my plan is shit (I'll hone it as I go), but better to get rolling with something, and do it in a way where I'll feel accountable both to my self and the legends that contribute here, than just keep flailing wildly.* I'm Daniel...

    When do you know you have a good enough idea?

    IDEA 
    I guess I'll just be bold, and pig - pile my two cents on here. I'm speaking from personal experience, and advocating what works for me, despite using the word "you" frequently. Business is simple. Too simple maybe. You sell shit. If you need to learn to code, or educate a market demographic...

    When do you know you have a good enough idea?

    IDEA 
    I get email notifications for 100's of threads asking questions that all have the same answer, and inevitably dozens of people beat me to the punch. I'll never get my Rep bank cranking at this rate...

    Wanna go 50/50 on the balloon animal circus?

    Do you think it's important to let entrepreneurs fail when it's avoidable?

    I don't think I'd be where I'm at without my missteps, but maybe I'd be somewhere better, or I'd have gotten here faster, if I'd listened more and thrown fewer wild punches. Are the people you want to help good listeners? I'm working on it, but I'm a shitty listener; sadly, the best advice...

    Do you think it's important to let entrepreneurs fail when it's avoidable?

    What type of failure are we talking? Stepping out a comfort zone and taking an action that's a swing and a miss, or mortgaging their house to start a balloon animal circus?

    Help: Should I give up?

    This is going to sound paradoxical... Don't waste your time giving up, because 1, 2, or 3 years from now you are going to get an acute entrepreneuritis inflammation again, go through all the preliminary motions AGAIN, and hit a wall AGAIN AGAIN; then, quit... well... again. We have a disease...

    Aren't you automatically added to g+ with a gmail signup, or Android phone activation? A good portion of that growth is probably throwaway addresses at Bangladeshi clickfarms. What do I know...

    Perils of Cold Calling-please share your tips and tricks

    Also, this may sound stupid, but always smile (and feel like you're having fun) while making sales calls. The smile somehow projects right through the phone.

    Web site that allows you to test demand by directly messaging users within your target market

    I'd definitely pay for sales leads... to be honest, this whole idea is something I would've gotten lost in for months at a whack before I just got out there and started selling shit. Now that I'm selling, I just don't have any time to spare figuring out if people will buy my stuff, if that...

    Web site that allows you to test demand by directly messaging users within your target market

    I don't sell business to business very often, so I probably wouldn't be able to get the data I need.

    How to reply to Losers and Haters?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Until you start making sales, the losers and haters are right... I recommend not talking to them, at least until you've built your business system.

    How long did it take you to get your first sale?

    MARKETING 
    I Started my first business when I was 22; didn't make my first real sale (repeatable working process) until I was 34, under my 6th business. I recommend trying to sell whatever it is you're selling, and actually getting a sale, before you've even bought/built it. That way you're not wasting...
