    CHAT QUESTION 
    Recommend you read (or at least watch the youtube excerpts from) “The Mom Test” and “The Right It”. Are you talking about physical products or digital products? A more in-depth answer is dependent on the category.

    First action feedback

    IDEA 
    There is a market in older, wooded neighborhoods for trimming trees that are blocking views, rubbing on houses, or allowing access to roofs for squirrels and raccoons. I would think a professional looking flyer would get you some work and you could grow by word of mouth if you show up when you...

    Doing the absolute largest projects... But now what?

    QUESTION 
    That “swooshing“ sound you hear is the entire FLF shaking their collective heads in disbelief. You’re telling us you are $500 away from a fully functional prototype of a totally disruptive product (per your previous description) in the $130 billion/yr small kitchen appliance market, but you...

    Okay, programmers, I have a friend with a successful e-commerce business who needs to port Brandboom B2B orders into Shopify for billing and inventory control. Brandboom has told her this feature isn’t yet available. I’m no programmer but is seems like this could be done with a little API...

    Chocolate covered pineapple bars

    IDEA 
    There are several versions of chocolate covered dried pineapple on the market. The only fresh (frozen) one I’ve seen or tried came from fresh market and was coated in white chocolate and coconut. I wasn’t familiar with these but here’s an interesting story: Someone started a business by buying...

    New effort at licensing!

    EXECUTION 
    How many products have you tried to license and have you had any successes? I went the licensing route last year. I found it frustrating and decided to venture. Licensing can be a good gig to get some seed money, but Control and Scalability are limited. Also, unless you have a disruptive...

    Buy It for Life - Your Favorite Durable, High-Quality Products That Are Made to Last

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I love this post - so little value out there. A couple of comments: Definitely. After hand holding earlier versions, Bambu is a huge step forward and very close to plug and play 3D printing. And this belt from bullhidebelts.com. I’ve never had a leather belt last more than 3-4 years in my...

    Inventor's Virtual Meetup

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    The problem is that so many new inventors think that getting a patent is one of the first steps, and there are so many entities after their money who will encourage them to so so. A Provisional Patent Application (PPA) affords no legal rights but is a much less expensive option that establishes...

    E-commerce Armageddon?

    MARKETING SCALING 
    I’ve been watching the challenges grow in the US e-commerce arena for a while. From the emergence of Temu and AliExpress to Amazon fee increases, life is definitely harder than it used to be for most. I saw a couple of months ago in the news where China had relaxed some of its cross border rules...

    Don't Let the Fastlane Devolve Into Side Hustles

    Very nice development of a slowlane business, and more importantly, development of your knowledge and self-esteem. Can you give us some discussion of the following:

    Don't Let the Fastlane Devolve Into Side Hustles

    RANT 
    Lots of good conversation on this subject. I initiated the side hustle post that @Sirrom commented on, and his point is well taken. Side hustles are an imperative step for some and can serve as a testing ground for ideas, but should never be construed as an end goal, or even a long-term goal. I...

    Garbage Cart Opportunities?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Just trying to add a little value up and down the line. Not sure how you got your start, but there are a lot of young people with no resources who come to the forum looking for a vehicle to get started and learn about business and selling, and a way to make enough money to move to the next level.

    Garbage Cart Opportunities?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    No, I’m up to my ears in other ventures. Just trying to offer an unaddressed opportunity for someone with minimal resources who is trying to get started.

    Garbage Cart Opportunities?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    My garbage cart disappeared last week. While not a common occurrence, it happens often enough that you see some carts with DIY street numbers on them (usually spray painted, graffiti-looking numbers). I’ve paid more than once to have the stenciled street number on my curb re-painted, but I’ve...

    I’ve chosen to opt out of in-depth conversations on ethics and empathy on FLF due to the “take no prisoners” attitude of some of the members. But I see a distinction missing here that might add a bit of clarification - the difference between ethics and integrity. In essence, while ethics...

    My process thread

    IDEA 
    This is always a good question. By building your own prototype you will hopefully gain in-depth knowledge of both the engineering and logistical nuance of minor changes and be able to optimize both. Just don’t get too caught up in the process - @Andy Black is spot on when he says that we...

    Made $400k as a sales rep this year at 19 and want to expand to my own business

    INTRO 
    I strongly recommend you flex your muscle and start solving problems and adding value. You have enough cash to start small/fail small numerous times and learn a LOT. If you stay in the Slow Lane too long and never know the exhilaration of doing your own thing, you may reach a point (sooner than...
