    Do I need a Lawyer?

    QUESTION 
    Hard to know based on the limited information provided. My suggestion, if you don't know the answer, reach out to a product liability lawyer. Usually, you have an intro call that is free to determine if you both are the right fit. Just realize that when you ask a person if you should use their...

    Kak's Time ROI Theory: How To Get 1000 Hours Out Of An Hour

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    As someone who does not employ anyone, at what point should someone hire a person whether it is VA or in-person to work for you/your company. I know the obvious answer is when you can afford to hire someone who increases your companies value. However, is there a point before that? To those who...

    What niche within a niche can I trailblaze in the bodybuilding space? How can I build a large following?

    IDEA 
    lmao. You're right. I misread that. The point still stands. Regardless of biking or lifting for 6-months.

    What niche within a niche can I trailblaze in the bodybuilding space? How can I build a large following?

    IDEA 
    I'm pretty sure this is not how you get 6-figures a year. Great for physical and mental health. But assuming you will get a huge following for biking is not even close to guaranteed. There are plenty of people who exercise every day. Taking a bike trip for 6-months in Thailand is not a USP...

    What niche within a niche can I trailblaze in the bodybuilding space? How can I build a large following?

    IDEA 
    Having a USP might just mean, looking for a problem in your industry and solving it. The problem with trying to do the same as everyone else is you get lost in a sea of people doing the same things people 10 years ago did to get wealthy, famous, or popular. People tend to copy other people's...

    I think I'm not that guy anymore - Took me YEARS - FTE and execution

    FTE EXECUTION 
    This post is :gold: I'm working on inventing a product right now. As I start my 2nd and 3rd projects, this is essentially what I am focusing on. Getting a real simple MVP, seeing if the function of the product works, then testing the market. I believe their is a market, but going to market and...

    How can I find my "Lambo"?

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    I would have years at a time, I would look at the economic outlook of the United States and decide to not try and start a business because I thought shit was about to hit the fan. Turns out, nothing really happened. That was 4 years ago. I wasted a lot of time just waiting for things to get...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Imagine trying to fight higher prices, by making you pay more money somewhere else. It is like a magician trying to distract with sleight of hand and misdirection. Raises taxes over here, so we can tell you that we lowered the cost of food. Of course, they won't tell you that taxes also pay...

    First day as an entrepreneur in training + some example interview questions you can use

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    You don't need to be an expert in entrepreneurship. I would say the majority of people on this forum are not. Even those who are close to successing or have succeeded are still not experts. I think you are on the right path. It seems you have a solid plan to identify gaps in the market and...

    Try to think of short-term goals that are not money-related. Money goals are good to help ensure you are pointed in the right direction. Example: I want to make $50,000/month in 5 years. That automatically crosses out multiple activities including(9-5 jobs, affiliate marketing, retail...

    Marketing as Your Only Value Skew (Somewhat Scammy)...

    MARKETING 
    One thing to point out. In a world were China will rip IP from people and undercut you like crazy, if you are trying to create your own product, find barriers that make it more difficult to rip off. One of those could be to create products that are regulated. If you're going to spend your hard...

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    Sometimes you grow into the person who needs to be an entrepreneur. You might have what we call a "F*ck This Event," short for an FTE. From there, you have this drive that forces you out of your comfort zone and into being an entrepreneur. Other times, you might need a paradigm shift in...

    Marketing as Your Only Value Skew (Somewhat Scammy)...

    MARKETING 
    Aside from myself being opposed to TEMU and would never give out my personal information to their company(CCP). I could see the use of TEMU as a good market analysis tool. From my understanding, they are like fast fashion, but for products. Sure, they steal intellectual property from thousands...

    This seems to be a far-off goal. Can you find a more short-term, valued-added goal? I'm in the inventing and licensing of products "space." Sure, my goal is to make $xxx,xxx,xxx someday, but that doesn't guide me very well. For me, my next goal is to have my final prototype in my hands by early...

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    Well said @BizyDad I should be more mindful. Sometimes the volume of new people asking the same questions feels like the same people never learning. But that is not the case. New people find this forum. New people need time to learn the culture of the forum.

    Focus on the most important task to move your project forward. If it is not the most important step to move your project forward, then stop that task and find the most important step. If that important step is to learn about something, do that. If the MVP needs to be done before you can test it...

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    Along with what @Antifragile said, read the GOLD and Notable threads. No one is going to tell you what business you start. You need to change your frame of mind to think like an entrepreneur. That means, first and foremost, you need to find out how to provide value to people. MJ's books and...

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    That is probably correct. I'm not claiming that Carnivore diet is the best diet. My diet does not involve counting calories. If I'm hungry, I eat. However, I have less cravings and I feel more full throughout the day. So my binge eating after work has stopped, probably because I cut out...

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    I have seen on the forum various people's diets and their results. I thought I'd share my anecdotal results. A little less than 3 weeks ago, I thought I would try a mostly Carnivore diet. My diet consists of: - Ground beef(with seasoning) - Pork - Chicken - Eggs - Yogurt(Skyr) - Whole...
