    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Incredibly detailed answer to my question, @Chromozone! I love the fact that you were solving your own problem, as a practitioner, and that you're also in a position to be your own beta tester! And the timing seems perfect. Problems are multiplying as money is flowing. Re: your observation that...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Thanks so much for the rep transfer. Much appreciated! I'm curious: how did you go about tackling the task of building an EMR from scratch, if that's what you did. It just seems overwhelming, considering how much structure needs to go into it to accommodate all the workflow of a typical medical...

    Feedback requested for my four-year old fastlane business

    It's great to read that you're willing to take feedback and adjust accordingly. If you stick with this process, I'm sure it's going to yield positive results. I just want to reiterate the suggestion I made about the positive benefits of playing the guitar. There's so much to be gained from...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Hey @Chromozone, First off, congratulations! As someone with a healthcare IT background, I can appreciate what a monumental undertaking building an EMR system is. I've worked extensively with Epic, and I found it to be a piece of crap! I imagine yours is infinitely better. There's a lot of...

    Feedback requested for my four-year old fastlane business

    Hi @Ronin365, Welcome to the Fastlane Forum from a recent arrival myself. I also found a typo: You don't know what to practice and dont have a practice routine to improve your playing Can you spot it? And another: You practice and play alot but can't seem to make progress and move forward...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Howdy @eliquid, I'm building a SaaS right now for a niche industry (that's still pretty darn big). I'm following this thread avidly--and will post a question when one comes to me. Great stuff!

    48 years old finished Unscripted and sad.

    INTRO 
    Thanks for putting yourself out there, @drleeds. It's hard to be open about struggles in an open forum like this. Here's my humble effort to add some value to your entrepreneurial journey. Don't get too caught up in SEO. As MJ has written, SEO, like all marketing, is an accelerator, not an end...

    CENTS, SaaS, and a $10 million exit in 3 to 5 years

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Great question. No significant dependencies. This is custom software I built using open source tools and a couple purchased third-party plugins. The system's hosted on the cloud (Heroku at this point. Will probably migrate to AWS as we grow.) But those aren't the kinds of dependencies you're...

    CENTS, SaaS, and a $10 million exit in 3 to 5 years

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    The answer is always "not enough." My pops, a successful business owner himself, gives the opposite advice. It's a concern, though. Call it a leap of trust. When we formed the partnership, its main selling-point was that our skillsets are complementary. MJ warns about this, that commitment is...

    CENTS, SaaS, and a $10 million exit in 3 to 5 years

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Haha! I wasn't familiar with that acronym. That's, in part, why I was confused. A DMV job is pretty much the antipodes of the Fastlane. So a hearty congrats for escaping the paycheck grind!

    CENTS, SaaS, and a $10 million exit in 3 to 5 years

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Great tips. Yes, we're definitely priming our next round of customers. My one hesitation with this is that the product is still an MVP, not a full-featured 1.0 version. On the other hand, I wonder if we could presell. Some cashflow now would certainly take pressure off. My focus right now is on...

    Voice AI to replace websites?

    Agreed. Voice AI won't replace the web. It'll simply be one more--prominent--option in the ecosystem. Have books completely disappeared?

    CENTS, SaaS, and a $10 million exit in 3 to 5 years

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I started a business with a co-founder last year. As a fellow Fastlaner, I'd like to share my progress on this forum. After reading both TMF and Unscripted, I'm more convinced than ever that the business has CENTS. Control--we formed a C Corp. We each own 50% of the stock. My partner is the...

    Lex DeVille's - I Deleted My Upwork Account...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    So this is a final update on my little experiment with Upwork inspired by @SinisterLex. As I mentioned in the previous post, I resolved to submit one proposal each workday last week. I set up my profile as a "full stack web developer" specializing in building minimum viable products (MVPs) using...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted. A valuable variation on the themes of TFM. For me, the biggest takeaway is the need to find ways to provide authentic value to clients or customers, to solve their problems, address their pain points, serve their interests before my own agenda.

    Lex DeVille's - I Deleted My Upwork Account...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hi Lex, I've been pouring over this thread the past couple days and getting a lot out of it. I've used Upwork in the past as a client for various ventures. I've hired freelancers to do SEO, programming, publicity, and graphic design. My experience with that has been largely positive. I've...
