    Once you quit social media, what did you start using to 'stay current'?

    MINDSET 
    I work about 60 hours a week in a trade, I don't do much social stuff because of that and because I spend almost all of my free time learning skills, reading and researching/exploring opportunities & ideas. So I genuinely feel like I live under a rock to some extent. I find that my thought...

    Once you quit social media, what did you start using to 'stay current'?

    MINDSET 
    What are some good resources to try and be aware of trends/shifts/new happenings like that? (Not talking about national/world politics) Share your secrets, quitting social media feels like having an evil spell broken and now I don't know where to look to get a feel for this.

    Is it a waste of time to learn code if I don't know EXACTLY what I want to do with it?

    MINDSET 
    I'm still kind of in the idea phase, still developing a better mindset with seeing opportunities to create value and solve problems and stuff. Spend a lot of time exercising that 'muscle'. I've learned a bit of React JS and now Python in the meantime, and have a handful of ideas I have...

    Anyone else feel that when eliminating social media type shit, you'll miss out on opportunities/needs/current atmosphere?

    MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I cut out instagram and facebook for this reason, because I don't want any metaphorical poison F*cking up the process of creating a real value creating, opportunity-observing mindset. It's the right thing to do and I for sure feel better overall, but as someone who literally just works, reads...

    Celcius energy drinks are going CRAZY right now. Collective 'case study' thread for opinions on why, to help new entrepreneurs understand tactics?

    MARKETING 
    Lately every single dude I see on a construction site has one of these going, and every other person I see at a corner store/gas station in the morning is buying one. I'll start by saying I am 'new entrepreneurs' but here's my ideas as to why, please correct/critique me: Marketing to the...

    Opinion on making an app/SAAS starting as free and then finding a way to monetize it?

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Absolutely. The first thing that came to mind was MJ's project, and the desert of desertion thing is real for sure. Been on my entrepreneur journey for about 2 years and have put almost all of my free time into different ideas, most/all of which have not been successful per say but have given me...

    Opinion on making an app/SAAS starting as free and then finding a way to monetize it?

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Kinda curious. Not talking about the type of companies that never make money for years, but starting something and later (ie in less than a year, ideally less than 6 months) finding a way to profit off of it. To all the seasoned entrepreneurs here, is this something you would put your time...

    Idea for any landscape/related business owners

    IDEA 
    Don't know if there's anyone in this realm on here but if there is, I hope this idea could help you. Try to contact engineering/construction/even land surveying firms to clear brush for them. Dig stuff out by hand, etc. On a smaller scale, i.e. areas they can't stake clearing limits and nuke...

    That brand "Liquid Death" is so clever, I can't help but appreciate it.

    MARKETING 
    Absolutely. Have to admit, their flavored teas are fire. Everything else, weak.

    That brand "Liquid Death" is so clever, I can't help but appreciate it.

    MARKETING 
    I love the strategies they've used (from an outside perspective). They've built a pretty solid company off of literally selling canned water with a cool logo on it. Targeting a growing market of people who don't drink but still go out to bars with friends who do and creating a product that fits...

    Feeling stuck and wondering if I'm trying too hard to find ideas to where it's hindering the process.

    IDEA 
    Seems like part of the game before marketing/etc is making a better product, with a focus on a specific niche, than the free stuff on Canva. I'm gettin after it. Once again I appreciate the challenge.

    Thank you for your insight, that was the conclusion I came to after my response; using AI as a tool as opposed to competing with it. I did not mean to come across as rude either. Thank you for taking the time to write all of this, I really appreciate ya. I'll get after it.

    IDEA 
    Mission accepted, although it would be extremely difficult to compete with AI generated powerpoints unfortunately.

    Feeling stuck and wondering if I'm trying too hard to find ideas to where it's hindering the process.

    IDEA 
    I've been stuck in the idea phase for too long. I'm completely self aware of the 'analysis paralysis' that I find myself in, and I spend an ungodly amount of time trying to research/find needs, brainstorm, observe, etc. I know I must be doing something wrong and that there's room for...

    Trying to figure out how to add value to an underserved niche in a way that could be monetized.

    IDEA 
    I've been alcohol free for over 5 years. Been using reddit as one tool to research needs/gaps and kept seeing people on reddit in my city talking about the lack of activities that aren't alcohol focused here. Made a subreddit and posted about it and 1000 people joined in a day, everyone talking...

    Hey all!

    INTRO 
    I'm a 25 year old entrepreneur from the bay area living in Seattle. I currently work as a land surveyor for my 'day job' and pursue entrepreneurship pretty much any time I have outside of that. I grew up with a single mom and not a whole lot, and saw pretty serious struggle/alcoholism/mental...
