    That Ol Guru Paradox

    EXECUTION 
    A good friend studied to become a teacher in Germany. When he was done with the first years of working and should become public servant, he failed the medical tests because of his BMI. In his free time he goes to medieval festivals, learned to forge swords and is a good sword fighter. He is...

    No Network

    And what problem would you solve? And for whom? Did you read the fastlane book? Did you recognize that making money is just a consequence of providing VALUE for someone?

    No Network

    So, networking means applying to affiliate networks for you? They say, you have no experience. Do you have experience with affiliate marketing? If yes, how did you show it? If no, is it a requirement to apply for the networks? Did you ask, what they require from you to be accepted?

    Why do you think no one wants to network with you? What is "networking" in this case?

    Ok, thank you! Do you use another approach today? In the original post, you wrote about three ways. Do you use the other two still? I try to talk to people in person as often as I can, but since I try to get in contact with (software) freelancers, they usually don't have a physical presence...

    Thank you for this great template message! I started reaching out to people two days ago and sent 36 mails so far. I have 7 answers yet, so the initial response rate is almost 20%! I will ask more people, but the platform I use currently limit my cold contacts to 20 per day. I read in several...

    Finding projects as freelancer / Finding the right freelancer?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thank you :) I'm sure I will find a solution, for now I'm glad I could confirm the problem in the first place. My last approach got me a solution for a problem that did only exist in my own head... But to find a solution for this one, I will talk to more people: Freelancers who are satisfied...

    There is no business plan yet :) I try to find the biggest pain points. And finding projects / hiring freelancers seems to be one of the biggest pains. I talk to freelancers and to the potential clients. And there are the big companies, as well as the one man companies. Most people I talk to...

    Where do you meet fastlaners in real life?

    PEOPLE 
    Since I'm a software developer, I learned many places to go when I want to meet like-minded software developers. There are meetups almost ever day in Hamburg. And Conferences. And ... I visit software meetups 2-3 times a month and I meet very good developers there. When I became an entrepreneur...

    Finding projects as freelancer / Finding the right freelancer?

    Perhaps my last post was confusing. But I see your point. The "problem" is, that you don't know you have a problem. The 'unconscious incompetence' is the moment when you don't know that you don't know something. In your situation you realized that after two days of asking questions and you were...

    Finding projects as freelancer / Finding the right freelancer?

    Ok, I understand. This relates to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence. When you are in level one (unconcious incompetence) the first challenge is realizing it. How do you solve that problem for yourself when you hire someone in an area you don't know well? And did you...

    How do you mean "areas of ignorance"? Is it 'finding the blind spots' of the freelancer, or is it your own blind spots?

    What kind of projects do have when you hire someone? How do you do the screening process right now? What is your experience to make good decisions? And what would you like to change? The number of applications (e.g. better qualified applications) or a simplified screening/decision process...

    Hi Fastlaners, currently I'm in the research phase for my next business. I will solve one or more problems for (software) freelancers. I'm doing freelance software projects myself for several years now and I see marketing/positioning/finding GOOD projects is one of the hardest problems here...
