    Potentially "firing" my girlfriend

    Okay, the title sounds like I'm some billionaire CEO with employees. In reality, I had a pretty neat business idea that needs to validated by the market through a landing page. My girlfriend is a software developer & I thought it would be good for her to work with me. I've been doing a fair...

    I want to work, but don't know how.

    QUESTION INTRO 
    Start something that can HELP or provide VALUE to somebody. Even if it's complete crap, it's a start. You don't need to figure out how to create floating cars or be the next Nikola Tesla, look at Scrub Daddy. Watch Shark Tank & take notes, most of these successful businesses are very simple...

    Anger when ex-naysayers ask for advice

    Don't give any of those losers free value man. If you're going to help them, charge them. Even if they had your skillset, they wouldn't do anything with it. They sound scripted to the max, just let them live like that.

    Inspired by MJ's canker sore story in TMF

    IDEA 
    I say provide it for free to different demographics. Send it to like 20 college kids, 20 middle age adults & 20 older people. Garner feedback & assess the efficiency (you can use this later to beef up your value proposition if its positive). The Google Doc sounds sufficient as an MVP, but I...

    Shopping Service

    IDEA MARKETING SIDE HUSTLE 
    I would recommend focusing on the pain points your service addresses when writing your copy. A good copywriting formula is PAS Problem: carrying heavy bags Agitate: Now you agitate the problem. Carrying heavy bags while waiting on the bus in the rain etc. Solution: Now you briefly tell them...

    Shopping Service

    IDEA MARKETING SIDE HUSTLE 
    That's a pretty neat idea. There's a lot of elderly people who need to take the bus etc. And it's a hassle to carry massive bags home. Seeing as your target audience likely doesn't use social media, sending around some leaflets is a good idea. This is where nice copyrighting comes in & maybe a...

    Is this crypto website incomprehensible BS or am I just too ignorant to understand it?!?

    CRYPTO 
    Literally couldn't have said it better myself. This is exactly what I was thinking as I was reading the website.

    Am I too stupid?

    MINDSET 
    What I learned from doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 6 years is that there's simply no such thing as the inability to learn. Big whoop if you didn't know how to tie a knot immediately? Dude, sometimes when my coach shows us a move I feel like an idiot. Everybody else is getting it, but I can't...

    My brain doesn't work properly help!! (RANT) (RANT) (RANT!!!)

    IDEA 
    This is the right answer for me. Depression is like a mould, instead of feeding on humidity, it feeds on your inactivity. Sleep in all day? Depression will eat it up Eat like crap? Depression loves sugar Don't exercise? Depression loves the fact it can now make you self conscious about your...

    Website Is Up! Please Give Feedback

    IDEA FEEDBACK WEB DESIGN 
    On a side note, I like your website design. Pretty relevant to me and OP who have a business offering a single service. Your idea is pretty neat & I'm honestly pretty sold on the product. I might have to get one when I have some disposable $.

    Seeking Advice on Growing a SaaS App: Yogidays Progress

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS FEEDBACK 
    Website looks nice. I'd say to sell some more benefits. I'm a fan of the wording, it's not faceless corporate speak, but be mindful of your target audience. IMO- yoga-goers / studio owners are mostly female mothers who might melt at the sight of bad language.

    Selling internationally & trademarks

    QUESTION 
    Yup, that's my plan. I'm not trying to actually register a trademark until my concept is validated by my target market. BUT, I just don't want to run into any needless issues in the meantime. I've since changed the name & slightly modified it. There's no trademark registrations, but I wasted...

    Good start bro. Definitely need to work on the copywriting & photos. Upon clicking your site, I'm still confused as to what the sleeves do. It looks nice, but extremely basic. But hey, we all start like that!

    Selling internationally & trademarks

    QUESTION 
    I've had a pretty solid business name I've been using as a placeholder. Now, I'll be operating within Europe BUT selling worldwide via a website. Coincidentally, when checking the US trademark registry, some dude applied to use this name. The registration is "pending" so it's not actually...

    Looking for help

    INTRO 
    1. Realise that school isn't very compatible with the real world apart from some very basic things. 2. Don't drop out because of #1. Society is still sleeping & wants you to have a high school diploma at the least. Trust me, flunking out of school makes getting a job to keep yourself on your...

    Fakes?

    IDEA 
    I I agree with this gentleman OP. I seen the fakes in Istanbul too (they're actually pretty good & I bought some).. but you got to consider the fact these are physical stores. I'm not sure what it's like in Romania, but I can't imagine the Turkish cops really give a f*ck about this...

    Fakes?

    IDEA 
    Sounds like something I'd hear an Instagram guru preaching about. "get cheap, knock off products from Alibaba & resell them on Amazon" . It seems like a lazy way to skip the process, provide little value in an inflated market & run into legal issues. The only people that would make somewhat of...

    Do I need to unstuck? And how?

    QUESTION 
    Can your business survive (& thrive) without your presence? If not, what are the steps you can take to make this happen? You have a nice chunk of change but make no mistake- you're in the process. Just because you're making $10,000 a month or so, this doesn't mean this is your limit. Do you...
