    Barrier to Entry too High?

    I'm not working to spend years validating an idea. I have already validated it. I have insider knowledge and I know it will work. I have already talked with a multi-millionaire dollar owner and he has validated the problems I have seen. The issue is should I spend years learning to build the...

    Barrier to Entry too High?

    You are definitely correct. I do not wish to disclose my information publicly lol. I see where you are coming from. Unfortunately, in my situation my product is not able to succeed without a full product launch. Without the full product it wont help business owners in my industry. I can't...

    Here to Learn

    INTRO 
    Hey Michele! I like when people hit me with hard truth. With that in mind, I am going to attempt to hit you with hard truth. How are you self employed? Be honest. To me, obviously it isn't a successful fastlane business or you wouldn't have felt the need to come here. I get the vibe that its...

    Finally had my FTE

    FTE EXECUTION 
    I missed posting in this thread for a couple of weeks, but I haven't forgot about it. I didn't start and give up. It wasn't an event. I am going to be completely honest with this forum. I have ADHD and I got distracted for a little while from my goals. I can get on a routine, but easily get...

    Barrier to Entry too High?

    I've started a business in the past, and brought on partners. I've seen firsthand the issues that partners can bring. They can easily end up being a distraction from the business itself. I also do not like giving up any control of the business. I operate under the assumption that the business...

    Barrier to Entry too High?

    My first objective has been to confirm my productocracy. While working in my industry, I found a problem that needs to be solved. The product I have in mind meets every commandment. Control, entry, need, time and scale. My concern, is that the barrier to entry is extremely high. The product...

    Chasing value vs chasing money

    MINDSET 
    Entrepreneurship is very simple. If you solve problems and create value, you will have a high chance of success. It amazes me how many people think they get this, but they really don’t. For the past few years, I thought I understood this simple concept. Only recently have I figured out...

    FTE EXECUTION 
    I wanted to add an update for this week to the thread like I said I would One big area I have been focused on for the past month has been to modify my belief systems and behaviors. I’ve started to realize how event driven I have been in life. Now, I look at everything from a process...

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I actually came across a Facebook "entrepreneur" group recently that promotes creating companies like this. Most of the people that create crap like this are wantentrepreneurs chasing money. In the group I came across, an "entrepreneur" created a "free" (sales funnel) PDF that showed people...

    Mentorship program

    HOT! 
    I have one final point to make. How did you hear about this guy? Was it through some form of advertising or did a friend you know tell you about it? And then ask yourself this. If this guy created millionaires like he claims. Would he need to advertise? No, because those millionaires he...

    Fastlane as a CS student. How do I maximize my time in college

    Let me ask you this. You say your goal is to be an entrepreneur right? So why are you talking/reading books about getting jobs with more responsibilities? Why are you talking about creating great projects/blogs with the goal of showing value to employers so you can get a good job? Your post...

    Mentorship program

    HOT! 
    I just want to add that things like this have no place on this forum. There is nothing wrong with you asking about it because you're still learning. I'm glad you did, so we can steer you clear from scams. But no real entrepreneur worth his salt on this forum would advise you to do this...

    Mentorship program

    HOT! 
    The program looks like a load of BS to me. I'd avoid things like this as if it were the plague. Don't let yourself get suckered into this kind of stuff. This guy is no different then the hundreds of people out there pushing the same exact "mentoring/coaching" program. No mentor exist out...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    You It sounds like we are in agreement. I'm not suggesting to the OP not to pursue the pressure washing. It's good experience and it can generate money. It's a great idea if he doesn't know what else to do and wants to take action. Who knows, OP could do this and then discover some problem...

    Marketing my pressure washing service

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I'm by no means against labor intensive business. I used to run a labor intensive business a couple years ago. I thought it was great, and it was awesome experience and taught me a lot. I also made really good money relative to my age at the time. Low barrier to entry can be overcome with...

    You disagree with the barrier entry? I can see that. What about the more important point I made, it doesn't provide any real value.

    Marketing my pressure washing service

    HOT! MARKETING 
    You're definitely on the right path. It's good for experience and it is action which is good. This would definitely help get you on the right path. The reason I wouldn't pursue as a fastlane business is because it violates several fastlane commandments. The need for it just isn't there. I...

    tips on how to overcome shyness

    HOT! MINDSET 
    One of the best things I've learned, is that all people are selfish. Its normal and healthy to be selfish (to an extent) What this means is that people love talking about themselves. In conversation, most people don't care what you're talking about or really even listen. They are thinking about...
