    How to know if there is demand for my service

    IDEA 
    I don't think you need unlimited leverage and all 5 commandments satisfied on day 1, as long as you are creating value you'll grow and you'll be able to adapt along the way. Even the most basic idea of all (teaching English in person) can generate profits and evolve into a school, then into a...

    Is my plan smart?

    QUESTION 
    I don't mean to sound rude but you started this topic saying how day trading was the only thing you knew and now after a few messages you want to know how to differentiate yourself in web design, something that (if I understand correctly) you have never done before. I think you need to get that...

    For those who have "made it", If you had to restart today, with no money and no skills, what would you do and how would you do it?

    IDEA 
    Never said he cared to sell it, I was using it as an example to compare with what I did. The end result was the same, regardless if it had been his main goal or not. The idea is that a problem you have is also a problem other people similar to you will have and you can be the one solving it...

    For those who have "made it", If you had to restart today, with no money and no skills, what would you do and how would you do it?

    IDEA 
    I apologize for this massive wall of text, I hope it helps. First off, I think "making it" can be very subjective. To you, it could mean being a millionaire. To me, it could mean having the freedom to live the life I want without worries, a lifestyle that can be achieved way before becoming a...

    You guys are trying to scam me

    MARKETING EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    From personal experience, I often "talk to my partners about it" and then tell you they said no because I'm too ashamed to saying no myself after the appointment we had and the time you took for me. I'm sure it's not a thing that happens all the time and for that same reason you shouldn't...

    You guys are trying to scam me

    MARKETING EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    I've seen friends of mine having the same issue in a variety of fields and I've felt it personally when I was trying to get some work as a translator. If I were to do it today, I would start by making content showcasing how well I know the language and how I can be a benefit to anything who...

    Why I've decided to sell my gaming PC

    MINDSET 
    I have three times the hours on dota, a friend of mine who's still gaming has over ten times the amount. I was in a similar position in 2018. When I found TMF I was hungry for more. I bought a bunch of books and put them in front of my computer, saying how I wouldn't play until I was done...

    Trying to become an expert slows me down

    EXECUTION 
    From my experience, I started a business in a field (collectible card games) that I had been playing in as a customer for over 10 years. In other words, I became an expert at it while doing other stuff in my teenage life and now I'm taking advantage of that knowledge to help others with my...

    Difficulties and success with running a business

    MINDSET 
    Err... I personally am not, I run mine with 3 partners. What are you trying to ask here? Are you saying you can't start because you don't have other people or that you won't start because it will be lonely? How do you even know it will stay lonely? Why don't you set out to fix this issue as...

    Intro and commitment

    INTRO 
    Hello. From my personal experience, competence can stem from interest and passion. For example, being passionate about anime might seem useless or even a waste of time, but it's your interest in that thing that sparks your desire to learn more about it, become competent about it, teach people...

    9 Questions to Ask Yourself for a Complete Marketing Plan

    MARKETING 
    I have to side with Woosah here. As a business owner (we operate a hobby store, both brick and mortar and e-commerce) I've seen acquaintances spend $300 to buy a charizard card collection that I knew they couldn't afford (as in, given their economic condition of which I was aware the correct...

    App-idea but 0 skills

    IDEA SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I agree and can relate to this. I tried learning how to code too and, although I could see myself getting better and understanding how to do it, I simply didn't want to. I'd much rather focus on other stuff, like the design aspect or the structure of my project. If there's one thing I can...

    App-idea but 0 skills

    IDEA SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Hello, I've actually been in your spot a few years ago. I wanted to make an app but had 0 skills. I decided to make it anyway. I hired a cheap developer from a developing country (I did it through discord, which was super dangerous and luckily I wasn't scammed, I'd recommend using upwork) and...

    Accounting practises for US companies?

    Thank you so much. Can you tell me more about bank movements? Like I mentioned in my post, it's a mess over here and for dumb reasons. Why would I need to produce a paper invoice if I'm using a credit card (a trackable method) at a public place (like a supermarket) which gives me proof of the...

    Accounting practises for US companies?

    Hello fastlaners. I run a small online business in my home country of Italy. Over here, when it comes to accounting, it's a huge mess. You have to report every single cent that enters the company's bank account and every single cent that exits with a statement like an invoice, even when other...
