    Inventor's Virtual Meetup

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Just a reminder that next week is our 2nd Inventors Meetup. Everyone is welcome to join, but we will still do topics related to inventing. All topics regarding inventing are welcome though the focus of the meeting next week will be on how to properly validate an invention without breaking the...

    Anyone hiring in the US?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You got to try harder or find an in-person job. Less companies are looking for remote workers. As with running a business, employees have to reposition themselves for the future as well. In regards to looking for work, this is not really the place. LinkedIn, Indeed, and Zip Recruiter is your...

    You know what you should NOT be doing. That should be obvious from the above posts. It sounds like you need to get up and move around. You're 18 years old, so having little to no money is not exactly shocking. Get a job where you have to socialize with people. A job like retail, sales, or even...

    Fastlane Ideas for a Computer Science major

    INTRO 
    As a person who wants to start a business, part of your job is to keep your eyes open for business opportunities. Coming up with a business usually does not entail sitting at your desk and coming up with business ideas. Generally it involves interacting with the world and other people. Seeing...

    How to live in with a roommate?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You should probably try and make peace with "normal" people because those people are generally your future customers and employees. Also, if you are spending time trying to convince someone of something essential and they are reacting badly and making your life worse, then it would make sense...

    Weekly Meetup Accountability Call Megathread

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    I like this. A good mental exercise each day to check yourself. I typically ask, what is the one thing that I can do that is the most important and will move me the furthest along in my business? Although I like the question, as it helps me focus on the 80/20 type of work, it can also limit me...

    Due to this being an international call, it would work best for the largest number of people on weekends, as we have done in the past. Frequently changing the time and date as well as last-minute changes is the main reason for the fluctuation of people joining the calls. Keep it the same time...

    If you want to go Fastlane someday, you need to start learning how to make decisions for yourself. The forum can't tell you which slowlane job you should take to make some money. The answer should be figured out by you. However, there are three ways to go about this. One way would be, can you...

    Weekly Meetup Accountability Call Megathread

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Great meeting. Appreciate @ZCP for stopping by. Some very thought provoking questions to help expand my mindset on how to take on tasks. I initially had almost focused on "what is the most important next step." If that was a task for someone else, I would be waiting for someone else to finish...

    I feel lost and high school is giving me PTSD. For real.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Honestly, from reading this thread I just see a bunch of excuses. You either want to make change or you don't. Maybe you're not ready for it, and that is fine. Not everyone is an entrepreneur. But the idea that Germany and their laws and beurocracy are so much harder is ridiculous. If you can't...

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Certainly not an excuse xD I try and make all meetups on the weekends. I also work with a coach who acts as my accountability partner for the device I'm building. The project continues to move forward each week! Hah. That would be quite uncomfortable, I only work with one person and the...

    Unfortunately, I can't make Friday as the schedule time is during the middle of the workday here in the US.

    My failed attempt at my solo project

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You haven't "failed" yet. It sounds like you still got work to do. Second, stop feeling bad for yourself. You are acting like failure is a bad thing. There is much more gained in knowledge from failure then from success. I've failed a MINIMUM of 10 times, probably more... but I've lost count...

    MARKETING 
    Similar to what @Stargazer said. If this device can really do what you say, licensing may be the way to go. Sure, you don't make as much money per sale, but you will have access to some great distribution channels that will push your product to a much larger customer base. You may make more...

    Keep going or quit and move on? Any tips or feedback?

    MINDSET EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I don't play guitar, so I have no clue whether or not this is a problem in the industry. Regardless, validation is important. A few suggestions, go to local music stores. See if they will carry your product. I can't imagine it will take much space in a music store. Also, people that play...

    America's most expensive homes, where you living?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I took a harbor cruise in the nearby town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I would argue the best state in the USA(though I'm sure I'll get plenty of pushback). Regardless, on this harbor cruise going out toward the Atlantic Ocean, there are a bunch of small islands. Some are connected by roads...

    Wow. These posts are :gold: I cannot say it better than what @Antifragile or @Johnny boy said. If I may add: The world is FILLED with problems, millions if not billions of problems. Some people have the same problem, others are different. If you live a comfy life with the same negative frame...
