    I Faked My Way to the Top of Paris Fashion Week

    MINDSET 
    Fashion is all about hype. My favorite story like this is a new designer that wanted to break into NYC Fashion Week, but renting an exhibit space cost way too much. They asked if they could get a permit to park a truck on the street throughout the event, to exhibit their new clothes. They...

    You don't owe anybody an explanation they can't use. You don't owe anybody an opportunity to make comments based on their ignorance and bad faith. You don't owe anybody a happy-faced version of genuinely painful experience. You don't owe anybody a vote on your worthiness for a better future. If...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    By running your personal computer's OS all in RAM, you solved a minor problem that few people these days see as a problem, and even fewer are willing to pay for. Not much of a business model there. Yes, go after what people are already spending money on. That's the nice thing about the gig...

    Anyone else think basic coding is one of the most important skills new entrepreneurs could have?

    I think Trey's post is unique in that he wants to sell a coding bootcamp to entrepreneurs. He wasn't just asking if others think coding's cool, or as important as sales. He's also looking for feedback on his product idea.

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    I edited my post while you were replying. I'm enthusiastic about your possibilities with the gig sites. I'd suggest you focus first with something like 80% of your available time for work. See if you can make a little bit of money doing some small tasks and projects. Ideally charge for...

    Going "All-In" on ONE cryptocurrency... which?

    NOTABLE! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    The crypto vouchers for the electric utility are on topic here. I should have put my comment about your blogging on your own thread. My mistake. Let's move that discussion back over to your own post, I don't want us to derail the crypto conversation.

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    When is the last time you ever heard someone who's not a computer enthusiast, complain that their computer was slow? For me it was years ago. Today every machine has a gigahertz processor and a gigabyte of ram, with a fast hard drive or an SSD. Nobody worries any more about how to put their...

    RANT 
    I think sales is most important. If you have enough sales, you can always hire a coder. No amount of extra code can make up for a lack of sales. I agree it can be very useful for an entrepreneur to have basic coding skills. We see from threads on the forum, how many business builders want to...

    Is the lean methodology a good way to uncover a new business idea?

    IDEA 
    I think you should read through what others have done, then join in those discussions when you have a higher level of specific questions. That seems to me to be the most powerful use of this site. I haven't ever tried to monetize a blog myself, so that's all I can suggest!

    As a blogger how do you motivate yourself?

    You are planting seeds. Each post is a seed that could grow into a future income. Is a farmer bored or tired of planting seeds? Only if he is skeptical about whether he has found something that might grow into a harvest. Also, these seeds are each a discussion or example of something related...

    Is the lean methodology a good way to uncover a new business idea?

    IDEA 
    Hi David, between MJ's books and the Lean Startup book and site, there are a lot of forum members who've used exactly this approach. Browse around with a focus on the Gold/Notable threads. You'll find plenty of discussions about exactly what people tried and how it turned out for them. You're...

    That's a cool use. Since it's for in-house use, the unforgeable feature of a blockchain isn't that important to them, but having the shared ledger be distributed is very valuable. I recommended you make a blog about the tech news that interests you. Suggest you add these kind of...

    There's more to life than making money. If you found something that could interest you as a hobby a few hours per week or month, it would be good for happiness and mental health, and also be a good way to meet people and make new connections. If you were successful, what would you do for fun...
