    Prototyping a Product (Computer Model)

    I think it is incredible. If I had not found out about this, I believe I would be spending a couple thousand dollars, at a minimum, just for a prototype. Now I have the ability to make 2 or 3 solid prototypes, bring them to my manufacturer and ask them to make samples for us, using the correct...

    23 and own shave ice shack, coffee shop, yet stuck

    INTRO 
    So just close up shop because there is too much room for improvement? That seems like the most backwards thing I've ever heard. If all of these problems could be improved on, it sounds like he would have a profitable company. If he is currently breaking even now, then imagine what would happen...

    23 and own shave ice shack, coffee shop, yet stuck

    INTRO 
    I am in no way associated with coffee shops nor have I ever run a store - so take my advice with a grain of salt. I believe that running a coffee shop can be successful even though it may be tough apply CENTS. This may not be your homerun business, but as MJ said, it is some great experience...

    Not asking if this is Fastlane!

    You're getting into a lot of legalities here... Entry Barrier - check If you're passionate about this, I say do it up! A problem I see is that you won't typically see re-occurring sales, unless you have someone who plans to adopt a lot of children. If you were able to adopt without an agency...

    Made a slow lane mistake, what now?

    If you dont mind losing 50£ then id just pull out. It doesnt seem like you made a calculated decision when investing but rather just assumed that based on history most stocks increase with time. If you have reason to believe otherwise then keep it in. I myself have seen 2-5% increase in my...

    Prototyping a Product (Computer Model)

    I think this could be very benificial for myself. I know I live right next to a school that is a step down from MIT. I believe they would work with other people in terms of working on designs. I am not to firmiliar with CAD and all the terminology but I plan on diving a bit deeper when I start...

    Prototyping a Product (Computer Model)

    Inventing and reinventing a product is hard, especially if you're not an engineer! So if any of you are anything like me, you want to reinvent(or invent) a product that needs a HUGE overhaul. You barely have the artistic skill to draw up the prototype by hand but god forbid, you were asked to...

    Do you feel a barrier between you and 'regular' people?

    PEOPLE 
    More times than not, the people who you grow up with are not going to have the exact same interests, morals and goals.That is what makes us different. As @SteveO said, I connect with people on the Fastlane Forum because the majority of the people I come in contact with every day don't share the...

    Mentorship

    Before you get a mentor, have you at least gone out into the world and tried to start up your own business or provide anyone some sort of service? Getting spoon fed information leads to weakness and you'll becoming dependent on other people to tell you what to do. Go out, work towards something...

    Mentorship

    I feel that if you need to log onto a website and fill out a profile to let people know you want to be a mentor... then you shouldn't be a mentor. This looks like a for hire website with some people who believe they are experts in a field. May not be the case but that is the vibe I get. Isn't...

    Calling All Up and Coming Fastlane Entrepreneurs!

    PEOPLE 
    When I first started, I myself tried to start a "Mastermind" group. I realized that everything that could be provided in the group was already being provided here. I regret making that group as it looked bad on my part. My suggestion is try and see how you can interact with other people on the...

    Is starting a business EASIER than finishing school???

    HOT! 
    This is what is helping me get through school. School is not a whole lot of fun when you want to move forward in life while being held back by the very thing that is supposed to move you forward. If you can handle the course load, then try and do something on the side, like starting a business...

    Dusting off and starting all over again...now online

    EXECUTION 
    Instagram works if done correctly. It might not give you incredible returns, but if you even get 10% of your following to at least look at your website, I would say it is well worth it. Of course, your site has to be capable, but at least Instagram will have done its part. If done correctly...
