    On a more technical POV, if you are writing sales copy or even getting up a one-liner USP, market feedback is pretty much the bread-and-butter. You can either go do a survey or do review mining, but even then you need to have a plan for both of them. I'll give you an example: A recent capstone...

    Hi from Norway

    INTRO 
    Welcome @Fairhill. Thanks for the sharing! I do freelance copywriting, but for now, I actually denote 2-3 days off my weeks to shop around on Upwork or LinkedIn for prospects I'd like to hook up with. Not the whole day, but a significant 4-5 hours. Most of the time isn't really spent hunting...

    Speaking of healthy meals... On the flip side, you could actually prep a week's store of cooked (or half-cooked) food on a select day (maybe a weekend), freeze or fridge them up and when the days come, you just take out to reheat and eat quickly. There's an entire subreddit on that...

    Welcome! Thanks for the sharing. Looking forward to your progress! Agreed! There's only so many big ideas you come up with yourself. Probably that's why some folks go work jobs, learn what's going on from inside the industry, and then go out to start something in that industry, albeit with...

    Yes. You should check out Vince Tan's seminars. That is the case. He even 'blatantly' encourages everyone to go network during breaks and brainstorming sessions- and even points out X CEO is there, or Y investor is here. And these aren't from his usual online-marketing cliche, but from...
