    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    The new ability to creating your own GPT's is the best feature since automated code writing, and it appears to still be kind of a sleeper(?). I’m fine-tuning a GPT now to write the front end of Provisional Patent Applications. Upcoming endeavors will include: drafting patent claims, search...

    How to move from Idea entrepreneur to successful entrepreneur??

    INTRO 
    There are strategies to leverage your current skillset and experience to bootstrap as much as possible to monetize your ideas without breaking the bank OR forfeiting your IP. Start learning about them but don’t let learning impede EXECUTING. You should be doing both concurrently. A great place...

    I want to share some VALUE and get some FEEDBACK from you fastlaners.

    QUESTION 
    You don’t have 600 ideas. You have a list of 600 problems that NEED ideas. You can’t apply CENTS to problems, only to potential solutions. Add a column for possible solutions. Run your list and add an innovative solution for as many of the problems as you can. Adjust your CENTS grades for the...

    I want to share some VALUE and get some FEEDBACK from you fastlaners.

    QUESTION 
    Sounds like you are off to a great start. Maybe add more content on how to evolve ideas/problems into possible solutions, and then on to products.

    Should I jump?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You should definitely “jump” in one form or another. If your project is too complex to consider making at least part of the prototype yourself, then tighten your belt - fewer lattes and more ramen noodles - to help defray the cost. I highly recommend bootstrapping as much as possible. It’s a...

    Inventor's Virtual Meetup

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    We mostly covered means of market validation: - Landing page/accepting payment (an ethical problem unless you can actually produce a product quickly). - Landing page with Buy Box, responding “not available” and collecting email addresses but not accepting payment. - Landing page without Buy...

    Do I need a Lawyer?

    QUESTION 
    I don’t see any mention in your post or the comments regarding IP protection. If it’s unique enough for a Utility Patent you should at least file a provisional patent application before disclosing your product. With a little effort you can produce this yourself, and the filing fee is minimal. If...

    Maybe the time date keeps changing to get more people involved, but a set time and date would be nice. I thought we were meeting every Saturday. Glad y'all had a good meeting, sorry I missed it.

    I am struggling with action faking and destructions.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    EVERYTHING you do in life is a choice. Often it’s very difficult to know what choice to make. Fortunately for you, this one’s easy. Delete the social media apps on all of your platforms. Then get busy with meaningful execution. If you want to be serious, take serious action. Time to start...

    5 Quotes That Changed My Life

    MINDSET 
    My favorite business quotes, from various associates through the years: Problems that can be solved by writing a check are not problems, they are expenses. (Don’t waste emotional energy where it’s not warranted - take the hit and move on.) When is the right time to fire an employee? The first...

    20yo college student running "own window cleaning biz" on weekends

    INTRO 
    Congratulations! Actually, you are quite similar about half of the general contractors in the construction industry - hiring cheap subcontractors and beating them down on payment, herding them like cats to do good work while hoping the clients don’t notice their shortcomings, and chasing them...

    Intro / Ecommerce Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    I’m a little confused. In your earlier post above you stated that you’ve had profitable eCommerce stores with annual revenues in the 6 and 7 figures range, but you don’t mention what happened to them. In this post you indicate you’re selling $6-8k/day (which is north of $2M/year) but you’re not...

    For better participation I recommend that a time be set and not changed. People have busy schedules and nobody needs the frustration.

    Sources for Funding?

    INVESTING QUESTION 
    Hard work. Scrimping. Ramen Noodles. Saving pennies to turn into dollars. Micro gig to double those dollars. Bootstrapping.

    [PROGRESS THREAD] Finding "product market fit"

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA EXECUTION 
    Man, you got me to thinking. I realized that my perspective on AI security is probably akin to the typical IP paranoia where people take their innovations to grave because of the fear someone will steal it. I’m going to start loosening the reins on most of my inventions (but not that cancer...
