    (Slow Burn) Starting and Fastlaning a snack & nutrition brand.

    EXECUTION 
    Super True, there is so much potential in food, physical services and manufacturing but people overlook it because it's not the sexy, "Make 10k a month by getting people on fiverr to do the work for you in the next 5 days" kinda gig but is much more sustainable in the long term. The only reason...

    (Slow Burn) Starting and Fastlaning a snack & nutrition brand.

    EXECUTION 
    Managed to prototype the first recipe I had today. I fudged a couple things and my worst sin is that I misplaced my mixer's drill bits and had to whip my concoction by hand for 30 minutes (mind you I hit the gym today). Was a spectacular f***up... but baked it anyway, and was pleasantly...

    (Slow Burn) Starting and Fastlaning a snack & nutrition brand.

    EXECUTION 
    After almost years of not being able to find it and putting this to the side, I cracked the "search cipher" as MJ calls it in TGRRE and was able to not only locate podcasts from people who have done what I aim to do before me, but also how they did it along with their challenges and struggles...

    What is the best thing you got from the forum?

    PEOPLE 
    Humblings. Humblings on the daily. I never thought I was stupid and I'm capable of working out my faults but there is nothing more painful than reading certain progress threads where people almost seem to magically fall backwards into the results and the business you yourself have been fighting...

    CHANGE CENTS TO DENTS

    IDEA 
    Does it not anymore? My hard copies and audiobooks say CENTS and imo that is more affable, "Does your business make CENTS?" double entendre and so forth

    The most cringe part of the entrepreneur community

    MINDSET RANT 
    I don't like the people that constantly upsell or push for courses but some courses have utility. For instance I knew zilch about sales and found a crabby Englishman who has massive success cold-calling in the anglosphere. I did have to sacrifice a chunk of change to learn why he's so successful...

    The Fastlane Diets

    HEALTH 
    I won't describe a diet since people should troubleshoot these and find what works, but here's the barebones of how I lost 100lbs: - Skip breakfast - Learn to love coffee or water and cut out soda - Prioritize protein first, possibly fiber if you can handle it, If you're an overweight tub of...

    A Job Isn’t Giving Up

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I know I'm walking into something here but I'll bite as a completely normal worker: - Yes, you have relatively secure income - Yes you may have opportunities to learn or opportunities to transfer - Yes, you even have a chance to land in a REALLY GOOD job with GREAT people - Yes, you may be able...

    Drop Out to Building a $95,000/mo service business

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    @piano we told you not to give up and chase "easy" money bro Why are you trying to introduce needless complexity when OP is getting off the ground and seeing success in a brand new venture with his first prospecting method as he works out of a honda civic?

    For anyone who wants to become a freelancer (first)...

    IDEA 
    @circleme Thank you for posting about your experiences! Taking the step alone to step out of a job that needed a degree to freelance is worthy of applause but you said you doubled your income with "less" hours worked/week (theoretically) which also deserves some lauding. I can see the issues...

    Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas Fastlane Meetup.

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Perhaps another weekend? Thinking that setting a date for mid april and allowing a few more DFW people to come online can get some more TFFers at the event as it seems it'd just be you, Runum and myself at this point.

    Execution Thread - Creating A Micro Network Meetup Group in Dallas-Fort Worth called The Entreprenerds! (TEST EXPERIMENT)

    MEETUPS 
    So good job with the numbers but do be wary- a lot of meetups see only about a 1/8th to 1/5th attendance rate at best and it was something I used to see when I was doing a latin dance meetup back in the day. Good case in point is that I went to a professionals meetup last week with a supposed...

    IIRC that startup and a few others like it were in the SVB portfolio and now SVB is tits up after the gov seized it last week.

    Well, what are your goals that need the creatine? Have you tracked your food intake through an app like cronometer and seen what % of creatine you're hitting already? I have red meat/eggs/fish as the foundation of my diet and absolutely blow through my daily reccs for creatine/b vitamins/amino...

    Ah, once you get a client base you should do well. I'm in a fairly large city and there's an incredible amount of mobile detailers but they all have a strong client base and workload based on what I'm hearing when I talk to them. You got this!

    So I lost my job....

    CHAT 
    To be clear, you say mobile car valeting, so parking others cars for them, or did you mean mobile detailing? For the app: plenty of no code solutions up that you could try, if you can find one you like and make it work you can make some good progress. Best of luck to you and your family!

    I just saw something that Powell is stating he's mad that employment is still strong so the fed will want to raise interest rates again and at a faster/larger pace than before through 2023. Do the fed directors just hate americans?

    Oh that's cool, I used to go to roots all the time in the late 2010s. Kinda started getting bougie though but best of luck. World blend has a similar meetup about 2 miles away but they hemorrhaged members from about 35/meeting to 4-5 with the "not a recession" recession we're having but it could...
