    For all you feckers who overcomplicate things

    Cart before the horse here. Your journey is statistically likely to fail, so what do you have to lose? A) Fail like 90% of other people, but learn a ton. B) Become extremely successful, feel some guilt, but feed your family for generations. What I'm trying to say is: you're worrying about...

    I launched my Fastlane snack brand a year ago, here are the lessons I've learned.

    GOLD! MARKETING SCALING EXECUTION 
    Your journey is the definition of raw, focused action. You didn't sit around for 2 years getting "ready"; you sent bricks to people and got their attention and built a whole brand. Kudos to you my man. I believe the profit will come. You're dangerously ahead of others in your age bracket.

    Want to make $1000 in under 24 hours? Set up a stall in a Christmas market and sell cheeseburgers for €13 each. The markups I experienced today were insane. But then again, it's a Christmas market! - Why not indulge?! Ah, the things we use to justify being fleeced in real time, LOL!

    Agreed. Intense exercise also shares these traits. Physical Asia on Netflix is a great example - although everybody's competitive, there's a shared "pain" that connects people regardless of ethnicity or body-type. Another example is how people unite through extreme circumstances. Two people...

    New tallow-fried potato chip company

    STORY 
    DEFINITELY something I'd try...if it was on the shelves. I've never been one to order food/consumables online. But hey, you're just getting started! That will come. To reiterate, I LOVE this idea. This is absolutely something I'd add to my trolley when out shopping, I'm tired of eating crap...

    How do you decide whether to suck it up and learn to code or to rely on outside help to customize WordPress E-commerce website?

    I didn't mean to appear combative, I apologise.

    How do you decide whether to suck it up and learn to code or to rely on outside help to customize WordPress E-commerce website?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    All of this sounds like a big waste of time. Have you seriously been fretting over your front-end design since the 18th of Nov? Do you have something worth controlling? People are so obsessed with control before they even validate their solution. What's stopping you from building on Shopify...

    Struggling to find pain points

    HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    The early posts in my progress thread might help you. It documents how I went from nothing, to finding a problem, realising a solution, and transforming my solution into something tangible. IMO, finding ideas isn’t tough. The tough part is the initial marketing, especially if you have peculiar...

    There's a shared energy in public gyms that just makes you push harder. You can smell it when you walk in. That being said, I can understand what you mean. I can't count how many times I've literally completed 3 different exercises, just to see the same dude sitting on the same machine, still...

    Building my first mobile app (Project Kinesis)

    EXECUTION 
    This is a very niche type of app, but I believe it could be something special with proper marketing. Extrasensory perception intrigues a lot of people (including me). For example, the fact that the CIA actually employs remote viewers is mind-blowing. I've heard a lot of first-hand accounts...

    Long-ish post, but a heartwarming tale of entrepreneurship You know the feeling people get when they end a relationship that suddenly looks great in hindsight? That's happening to me - except my ex is my defunct pet storybook biz. It was an acquisition treadmill, my CAC was way too high...

    Started using Discord to get leads for my gym app. Seems like there's a bunch of people trying to sell dropshipping courses. Got a dm by some dude claiming to make $1500 weekly – his site sucked and was FULL of Alibaba slop. I told him: 1) That's complete BS. You're not making $6000 p/m 2)...

    Trying to make smthg with loveable

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Good job, but it's still not clear what the app does. If your site copy is as bad as your intro, you're in trouble. What's your elevator pitch? What do you solve? I don't understand. I'm not knocking you, I'm genuinely curious what you're building.

    Building a SaaS to end "What business should I start?" (Idea Mill)

    IDEA SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Idea is pretty neat, my only worry is that aspiring entrepreneurs are likely tech-savvy and have the means to do this for free. I could be completely wrong. I'm not a big fan of the colour scheme of the site, the domain is fine. Marketing is also my achillies heel. Your business obviously...

    Canva is the F*cking GOAT in Design

    OFF-TOPIC 
    In this case, I don't believe it's action faking. I believe the initial research is worth it, especially given how much time you'll save by being proficient with it. If not, you'll undoubtedly sharpen your knowledge of rapidly evolving tech. Win win, I say.

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    On-boarded roughly 35 people to test my app, mainly through small paid ads and Discord. Still trying to grow the Discord server, but there's been some good feedback and activity considering its infancy. As I fall into my TA, I've been using the app as my main tracking tool in my own lifts. If...
