    Congratulations! I think it's a great way of learning..knowing you should be able to learn it and make it happen even though you don't know how to do it yet. In cases like this, you can always do some good research before hand to see if you find a general solution to the problem (Plugin, API...

    Nice! Keep sending them out..if you continue to provide value and differentiating yourself I'm sure you will start getting jobs there. Did you ask the client that interviewed you for feedback on why he decided to go with someone else? With Upwork, once you have a well built profile, you are...

    Both in Upwork and in cold outreach you will face a lot of rejection..so don't worry and don't let it get it to you. It says nothing about your ability to have success in the field, it just means you don't have the knowledge and credibility that make getting clients easier. In Upwork, how many...

    For niching down, I would also recommend learning how to do non saturaded fields, and technologies with much smaller competition. E.g working with logistics companies. After you make 1-2 websites for those companies, the next ones will be much easier to sell as you'l be able to show them your...

    Hi Charles, I'm also the owner of a small agency, and I feel your pain/struggle :-) Going through many of the same challenges, however I'm now comfortably in a place where project management, design, and development are done with very minimal involvement on my part. Feels pretty amazing to...

    Hi Nikita, Cold outreach isn't the only way to get clients. I've done 0 cold calling, and built a six figure web design & marketing agency in the past year by building up a good upwork profile, getting jobs from network and friends, and niching into specific fields/types of work. Both on...

    Hi guys! So looks like we've missed the fact that CU is playing the Alamo Bowl Thursday at 7PM, and a bunch of you will be watching it. So we decided to change the date to Tuesday, January 3rd 2017, 7pm @ Common Grounds Coffehouse. Please let me know if you can make it, so I can reserve a spot.

    Young Entrepreneur Details His Progress in Business

    EXECUTION 
    Hi Mulsanne, I'm sure this experience will teach you a lot, and be a great beginning to your journey with entreprneurship. A few thoughts and ideas: I think CENTS can be a tricky analysis if you just do a YES/NO. Personally, I like giving business ideas a 1 to 10 rank, and then I can compare...

    Should I continue with college?

    For me personally, classes became better in the 2nd and 3rd years (currently in 3rd year). Intro classes usually suck, and there isn't really a way around them. Once you know which classes/professors are good, and take more advanced classes the experience should be much better. Depending on...

    Unofficial results came in, and it looks like I got 2nd place in the competition - lost by a pretty big margin. Thank you everyone for the support! It has definitely been an interesting experience that made me step out of comfort zone on quite a few areas. Of course, the good that has been done...

    Flight to NYC + Dinner with Tim Ferris & Alexis Ohanian, founder of Reddit

    Thanks Billy! It's great to have all of this support from the Fastlane community. The competition is very close, but hopefully a strong final push and a little last-minute surprise I have planned will do it.
