    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    I really like this advice, I'm definitely going to do this. As for filming, I definitely do not want people in the shot to respect their privacy. Probably going to ask to go in after closing time to shoot some good looking product photos/videos. The exposure you're talking about reminds me of a...

    Definitely with you on the keychain thing, honestly was just in my head when I posted that haha. Gonna scrap that/use it for promo or something. I do definitely want to figure out that lineup thing (will take some creative thinking), but that's definitely a job for v2. I agree with everything...

    9 'Slap-Your-Face' Lessons You Need to Learn from this Shark Tank Success Story

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Glad I found this. It's giving me the push to keep going with Setsign. I am the lone warrior in the dark. Nobody will help me but me on this journey just like Sal here. Even if negative comments dissuade me, I need to ignore them and focus on getting this into the hands of gyms and consumers...

    How Do You Deal With Deconstructive Criticism?

    MINDSET 
    I thank you for all your kind words, it means a lot to me. A more digital system would be interesting, though I lack experience in coding. The main mental block I have with all of this is that I've been working on this for months and people really loved the early models, yet when I announce...

    MARKETING 
    I really appreciate your advice, it's some of the only practical and actionable advice I've received so far as to what direction to move in. I'm going to follow your words and report back as to how it goes. Getting this in local gyms is the current priority and I need to sharpen my sales skills.

    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    I feel like this makes sense because it's not improving on anything created before, it's wholly new so people tend to reject it. The small model can be adjusted of course, it will be a lot more visible and slim, as well as small. Should I go through paid creators to promote the big one to gym...

    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    Okay after some thinking I have an idea. It has been made clear that consumers obviously do not want the original Setsign. It's clunky and large and does not fit in your pocket well. But for gyms, I feel like it would be a no-brainer (and we will find out if it is or isn't in my meeting...

    MARKETING 
    I think my general strategy now is to get these sold to gyms themselves. I already have one showing interest. This will improve their gym status and reduce churn. People will stay for longer. Now a smaller version will most likely be made if people have interest after seeing the big ones in...

    How Do You Deal With Deconstructive Criticism?

    MINDSET 
    Hey all. Recently I have put my product out there for the world to see, and for me to act, assess and adjust as @MJ DeMarco said in UNSCRIPTED. On the forum, I have gotten some good feedback from you guys, but on social media I have gotten some deconstructive criticism, even making me question...

    Big part of gen z and millennial consumer sales plays into that last part you said, also I actually tried to build a prototype for the whole lining up thing but it seems even more of a hassle to justify the solution. Being gen z myself (18 years old here), I know who I'm marketing to. Yes, gym...

    Haha my mom likes it too, that may be a potential market to look into! I have a little resin 3D printing setup in my garage that I used to crank some of these out, the early models were made on a friend's filament printer. Definitely will be handing out samples to people and gyms like you...

    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    I've gotten some pushback from this, it seems either people absolutely would not use it or love it and want one, but no middle ground. It seems to be especially appealing to women and people who are very serious because they don't want to be bothered in the gym. Personally, I did something MJ...

    AND WE ARE LIVE! It's time I introduce what I've been working on now that the social accounts and landing page are up. This is Setsign: Evolution of Setsign: Setsign is a patent pending product I created to solve a common problem in the gym, where people will often interrupt your workout with...

    Quality is the main factor. Creating a physical product in my garage, painting the finish, and sanding it myself is all well and good, but this deserves injection molding, and that takes funding. I've decided will hype the product up by showing it on Instagram/running ads, having it link to a...

    Hey all. For the past few months, I have been working like hell at this product I have created. I originally started the concept in mid-April and now have finally crafted the ideal version of my product. It's fully working and I am producing it using the resin 3D printer setup that I bought in...

    Finally made something happen.

    I'm going to break this off from my progress thread because it's been so long. So after a lot of research and time, I think I have created something that has large potential in the market. I'm pouring every hour I can into this to make it happen. Essentially, it's male hygiene products, but I...

    What are the best books/podcasts for developing hard skills?

    BOOKS MINDSET 
    The title speaks for itself. As I was working on the website for my company, I had a sudden realization hit me. I don't know squat. Sure, yes, I have a general blueprint/plan for what I want to do, and a solid mindset thanks to books by MJ and other self-development authors, but I don't really...
