    How did you finally decide which business to pursue?

    MINDSET 
    I've always noticed that people say if you have an entrepreneural mindset you are constantly seeing problems to solve. Maybe you have an idea journal. Maybe you have a notepad with annoyances scribbled on them. But everyone has a running "list." How did you finally decide it was time to move...

    It's a long story, but basically I've always chased what I thought I was "supposed" to do. So I've ended up with a 15 year career in Sales. It's been at several different companies, but right now it's Industrial Equipment. My skill set now just revolves around selling equipment and customer...

    I had a really bad day today. I’m starting to think my late 30s is just too late to start anything meaningful. My slowlane consumes about 50-60 hours a week, I want to spend time with my kids and wife, and the rest of the time I’m just exhausted. I don’t see how I’m supposed to have this job...

    I don't know why, but there were a bunch of games that took this exact same ad and just put their characters in it. I think one was a match 3 (think candy crush) style game, another one was a runner game (like temple run if anyone played that). I think this is going to be a trend of now the...

    Anyone learning something useful in quarantine?

    HOT! 
    The most frustrating thing for me is reading through and seeing just how many different courses and things you can learn, so I get stuck and don't know which to do. Plus I know you are supposed to pursue something that I have skills in now, which is why it's so daunting to look at all these...

    Subscription Model for Online Support

    Have any of you successfully figured out a subscription model if you want to offer digital support on a product? I've looked at other sides such as wordpress support focused ones (e.g. WordPress Support Pricing Starts from $49/hour | Get a WordPress Support Plan for your Website) and it appears...

    I really dislike managing people. At my current slowlane I was "promoted" (quotes because I have a ton more responsibility but no more pay) and now have to manage 4 people. I hate it so much. I hate having to rely on other people to get things done, and then they do it differently and not at...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Just curious, how has the current situation affected your service "unsexy" businesses? I still see a lot of landscaping businesses plugging away (plenty of social distance while you are mowing), but thought services inside the house (e.g. plumber) would probably hurt more. Also read a thread...

    These past few weeks have made me realize just how little corporations care about the people that work for him, and how badly I need to get out of this cycle. The only reason, and I mean the only reason, I have a corporate job right now is for the benefits. That's it. My wife works from home...

    I haven't been a part of the group, but it sounds like it wouldn't be very helpful. You might be paying just to listen to everyone talk, but I'm sure someone else may have more input.

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    The more I use amazon (as a consumer) the more wary I'm getting because you just can't trust what you are actually buying anymore. It seems like each timeI look up an item I would like to purchase, there are dozens of knock offs and cheap versions that all have the same stock photography from...

    [huge pointless pathetic rant incoming] This post is mostly just for me to vent because I'm at a point in my life that I don't know what to do anymore. I hate just about every aspect of my life. I'm in my late 30s with nothing to show for it. Just took (yet another) new slowlane job chasing...

    Is there a business registry that allows you to find newly registered businesses?

    Just curious...why do you want this info? I just found mine for my state (NC) and it's basically just a ton of business names with no real information about what they do. Are you strictly targeting brand new businesses regardless of industry/service?

    My buddy is a big wrestling fan and was given a Christmas shoutout through Cameo (one of the sites in the article). $75 for a 3 minute video of the Million Dollar Man saying Merry Christmas to him and his family. I did some digging, and Cameo keeps 25% of every video, the rest goes to the...

    Thank you all for the input, this actually confirms a lot of the issues I had with the "learn to code!!" crowd. I do want to do something with my life and just keep spinning my wheels in the "want want want" phase. I was ready to blindly start coding and it just felt like yet another action...
