    Other people disagree, while I tend to be on the fence about this. It's possible that in my technical ignorance, I'm sprouting nonsense, but I know intelligence companies have major backdoors into most operating systems etc. Example was the WannaCry hack, where a 3 letter agency was sitting...

    I've recently been using an analogy to explain my lean startup process that includes a dart. There's been two places I've discussed this around my smartphone: 1. On the forum (I'm using Brave Browser to access the forum). 2. Verbally with my GF Since creating this analogy, I'm constantly...

    Got some photos taken, and will likely shoot a few more. The attached is an example from many photos. Now, I'll choose some of the best photos and implement them into my landing page. Should start running ads to my new landing page by this week. There's a few personal things to iron out, and...

    You’re only six books away from the solution.

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    Books are extremely powerful when they're immediately utilised over a long period of time. They get a bad rep around here because there's so many people who action fake by accumulating knowldege for years and doing nothing with it. I agree with your statement 100% as long as the above is...

    First post in the Fastlane forum

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum, Skeeter! Sounds a lot like how I got started! Start building something, anything. Devote 2-3 hours a day on focused business work, then reward yourself with some leisure. Overtime, you'll rewire your dopamine pathways. You'll find that you can't focus on video games...

    Where do you get your beliefs from + help me fix mine

    Is your whole self-worth contingent on business success? As @Dark Water said above: Are you hitting the gym and building a routine (outside of business)? Exercise is a potent antidote to small worries like these. I've been worried lately–due to some serious things in my personal life–and I...

    Breaking News: The tool doesn't matter, the results it delivers DOES.

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    Nobody cares about how the sausage is made. I like this. Sometimes ego prevents us from delegating responsibilities to those more talented than us, because we're obsessed with doing things ourselves out of pride. Another good analogy is this: Is a construction worker a lazy slob for using a...

    I have 10 years of experience as a dev and lately I have been attacked by unhealthy, negative thoughts related to work and I cannot enjoy life.

    I'm currently studying a brilliant book that I think might help you. Check out: "How to Stop Worrying & Start Living" by Dale Carnegie

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    In reference to my above post, I've thought up a little analogy that can clarify the type of efficiency I'm building: We've heard the saying "throw darts at the dartboard until something sticks"; but imagine every time a dart didn't stick, you had to create your next dart from scratch. This...

    Not much to update on. I made a better looking landing page which will be published shortly, and my stickers will be delivered tomorrow. Then, it's a case of taking pseudo-professional photos (instead of AI mockups) and integrating them into my website. Although there hasn't been much work done...

    This is mainly a rough benchmark. There's no real math behind it, so it was kind of haphazardly put together. It's very difficult to get full validation without the actual product, so I'm going to try send out my samples.. On another note, I've decided to take @Venator advice – I'm pausing my...

    15-30 attempted checkouts is my goal. Currently at 0, but I've only spent a small amount with my ad.

    I've been running ads with an extremely small budget. So far, the sample size is too small to gauge and I'm running out of fuel. I've started to reach out to new followers on Instagram to see how they feel about the product. This data is largely useless, but it could give me insight as to...

    Completely agree. I'm not even that old, but back when I was younger, I was buying shirts to dress up like Daniel Craig from 007. Or, I was wearing one of my mam's headbands around my forehead and walking around with a plastic knife, thinking I was John Rambo. Now, most of our movie stars...

    While it's taken more time than it should have, I've finally activated my website. I'm following lean principles here (which I think are the best in terms of validating a business). Basically, I'm running a "Fake Door" test by sending Meta Ad campaigns to my site, and using a dud payment...
