    Startup #5: VR Space

    EXECUTION 
    Care to elaborate a little about what you will be doing in the VR space, or what needs you will fulfill. I am getting into the same space with hardware, so maybe there is possibility for collaboration ;)

    Successful fastlane with 9-5 job?

    I started my first successful business (a web hosting company) while on a 9-5 job. Worked on it evenings and weekends. Balancing the time was the biggest challenge, so there will come a point where you have to decide when and how to transition. With the job I had, I convinced my boss I could...

    Roadmap for market testing small product-- online or brick & mortar?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Sounds like you are on the right track to something, but here are some more thoughts to consider: Why not try it at a slightly higher price than the rest? Since yours is unique (and pending patent), it appears from what you're telling us here that you have a value-add that people would be...

    Manufacturing process

    EXECUTION 
    You could look into having the suppliers sign a non-compete agreement, perhaps along with an NDA. The non-compete though may not give you absolute protection, but chances are the suppliers themselves are too busy doing what they do and won't have the team and marketing know-how to bother...

    everyone is buying FB Ads - is no one buying IG Ads?

    MARKETING 
    This advice is more relevant when it comes to seeking out influencers and direct partnerships with an account. Your point is valid of course when it comes to fake followers so always do your due dilligence on an account's engagement. And by that I mean looking particularly at comments to see if...

    Are you a Multipotentialite/Polymath?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hehe...yes! Gotta be careful and try to have discipline and focus. In my younger years I would stray from one thing to another ("gotta master ALL the things!") lol, but the trick is to teach yourself to just do, and enjoy, a thing a time.

    One Simple Rule That Will 10x Your Results

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Excellent advice. Same thing can be applied to task priorities. I always try to prioritize my tasks by first doing the ones that are income-generating (directly or indirectly), then doing the others.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Well I still haven't gotten around to most of them, lol. Which.... trust me, I want to check them all off of my bucket list once I retire from my FTE :D But to answer your question for the ones I have tried so far - I feel like every time I get my hands into something new, I really want to...

    Yeah the sapiosexual thing is a joke tbh. I do see what you're trying to say - and I do agree that everyone is capable of learning everything. Yes everyone can learn. But what OP what posting is about, and what this is about - is actually having the interest to want to learn so many things. The...

    Lol, yeah I didn't know there was a term for it but it's how I have felt my whole life. Things I either have done or want to get really into include programming, game development, woodworking, guitar building, graphic design, learning Japanese, making custom knives, oil painting, PC building...

    How do I develop and manufacture a physical product?

    INTRO 
    To answer some of those questions - start by looking at existing bottles in the market, similar to the one you want to make. That will teach you a lot about shapes, thicknesses, even materials. But also what @amp0193 said - you can find a LOT on Google and Alibaba.

    Will smoking weed make me lazy/hurt my (good) mindset?

    HOT! 
    Unpopular opinion here I guess but - I think marijuana can be fantastic, as long as it is used in moderation. I never quite understood the "don't ever ever EVER do _____" mentality when it comes to certain recreational, and frankly, fairly harmless activities. The key though of course, is...
