    Contracts with B2C clients

    SIDE HUSTLE TAXES | REGS 
    Sup FL, I've recently restarted window cleaning, as a way to pay bills. So good so far, making double of minimum wage. Just need to not work on rainy days. Now, I'm going door-to-door in two regions, spending ~30 minutes looking for a client and ~25 minutes in job. You can see the pattern -...

    Pounding the streets for a Foundation Job

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Hey, that's what I did two months ago in Ireland (republic of) and I got absolutely zero replies. I had seen dozens of people walk in front of me and hand their resumes too. Hungry people. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/ai-entrepoorneurs-resume-for-hospitality-jobs.120050/...

    Mind blown: Lovable for no-code website development and apps.

    HOT! - AI - 
    I've bashed my head against trying to create an AI that would do MechE for 8 months, full-time last year. Actually, there is an opening - you can automate the manufacturing part of it. The reason is that manufacturing runs over relatively short periods of time models can understand well and...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    GitHub - DIYgod/RSSHub: Everything is RSSible almost 40k stars. Do you know about it? Also, I suggest using frameworks like Appwrite and refine.dev. Look into them right now. You can build what you've built in a matter of hours, not a month. And hey, I've been there, my first SaaS has taken 3...

    idea feedback - leadgen for home service companies using UAVs and computer vision?

    - AI - 
    Shit. How could I forget? no, this is true, but I've genuinely forgot this principle... I thought you spend much more on ads. When window cleaning, I often think of washing residentials with drones, but it's difficult - you need to attach a hose, and would customers really care? There are...

    idea feedback - leadgen for home service companies using UAVs and computer vision?

    - AI - 
    > street-level photos, satellite photos and data/lead brokers? One aspect I think of is freshness of the data. Google maps often has pictures 10+ years old. Then, backyard info, if we are talking about home services of course. Google maps don't have that precision. Again, fresh. Third, UAVs can...

    Big Fish in a Small Pond or Small Fish in a Big One? What Builds You Faster?

    HOT! INTRO 
    yes, but, tech is created in tech capitals. VC flows in tech capitals too. Smartest employees are in capitals. London attracts like 2% of world's VC. I don't know if this is of interest to a non-technical entrepreneur, but nevertheless, tech is done in tech hubs, that's a fact. in q1 2025 >50%...

    idea feedback - leadgen for home service companies using UAVs and computer vision?

    - AI - 
    Yeah. To calculate which home services they may need + can afford, rather. Gardens, roofs, lawns, decorations, you name it. Not intrusively, just from 30m away from the road; scanning the e.g. gardens from 50m from height. Then either: 1. Give heatmaps of regions where local advertising (incl...

    idea feedback - leadgen for home service companies using UAVs and computer vision?

    - AI - 
    I was thinking in particular about bigger trade companies like @Johnny boy's for whom data can be amortized over larger divisions/more employees/more services, not solopreneurs. Hmm, that's interesting. Pretty obvious, now that I think about it, but somehow, I never noticed.

    idea feedback - leadgen for home service companies using UAVs and computer vision?

    - AI - 
    Hello Fastlane, Posting in part because this is an idea somebody may execute on, in part because lots of people on FL forum are doing home services. I was washing windows to pay for rent the other day, and I've seen another salesman selling electricity subscriptions to houses. He was rejected...

    Big Fish in a Small Pond or Small Fish in a Big One? What Builds You Faster?

    HOT! INTRO 
    just be careful, be very careful with these kinds of statements. There are some of us (oh how many, I would guess) who have committed themselves for years and haven't jack, after hearing those statements. By the way. As somebody who recently moved from a village to Ireland's capital. Definitely...

    Everyone’s selling AI shovels. Where’s the Actual Gold?

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION - AI - 
    And also more speculatively: And last but not least: selling data to AI companies. AI companies need benchmarks, datasets. An existing or not existing quality dataset can make or break an AI company. Datasets e.g. in robotics cost a lot. Because they are scarce. The ML community catches up, but...
