    Am I taking this too far? Idea/personal feedback

    IDEA 
    Thanks for the response. I understand for sure it sounds like a bad idea for our relationship at face value. Once the system is made, 90% of the business can run as its own system (minus fixing technical bugs, marketing & customer support). The heavy lifting is of course in the construction of...

    Am I taking this too far? Idea/personal feedback

    IDEA 
    What's up guys.. So I had an idea.. in summary it's an online platform that helps grieving pet owners cope with the death of their pet through narrative therapy. It's similar to "Storyworth" (which was a success) but heavily focuses on the niche of grieving pet owners. The platform will ask...

    Bright Idea

    IDEA 
    I agree with the gentleman above. NDA & then get somebody more skillful than you to create a tangible product. Make sure you have blueprints on design etc. That can go along with your patent. Consider if there's a market for it also, there's no point in spending tons on the above if there's...

    Dropped out of College to go all in on my business and now I'm lost.

    FEEDBACK 
    Honestly sounds like you're doing better than 99.999% of people your age. College is for employees to increase their intrinsic value. If you're afraid of investing, but will spend (almost all) your money with college, you need to brush up on this aspect. I PERSONALLY wouldn't go to the college...

    How to determine if it’s worth continuing to develop my SaaS product?

    MARKETING 
    Ask the users who stopped using it why they stopped. Consider the value skew you're providing, if it's rock solid it may be a marketing problem. I was never a fan of cold calling, the best resource I've ever read for marketing is "The One Page Marketing Plan" by Allen Dibb. I suggest you give...

    Having trouble trusting my idea

    MINDSET 
    I agree. We have to face uncertainty, want certainty? Get a cushy job. I'm pretty fresh in entrepreneurship, so I will risk asking seemingly silly questions to sharpen up. Thank you for linking some helpful resources my friend!

    Having trouble trusting my idea

    MINDSET 
    So me & my girlfriend done some thorough research on a particular niche we're looking to operate in. We even sent around 100 messages to people in this niche. An overwhelming number of people reacted positively, and those who told us they wouldn't buy always said they may know someone who would...

    Getting a sales role a good step towards fast lane?

    FEEDBACK 
    Yeah it's beneficial, once you're working on something whilst you do your day job. A lot of people lie to themselves and say they'll take a cushy job for "experience", yet they're just too afraid to start their business journey. Work a day job in sales & use it as a training tool with some...

    NOT AN ACTION FAKE: Need Honest Feedback

    IDEA 
    All due respect, it seems useless. Lollipops usually just sit in the mouth passively anyway. Most schools have a strict "no eating" policy (especially sugar) so it's unlikely children will use this in class when reading.

    I Feel Like Giving Up

    MINDSET 
    It's okay to feel sorry for yourself for maybe 5 minutes, then you trudge on. You're in a process, if you give up now- entrepreneurship isn't for you & you should become an employee. Do you think MJ succeeded his first try? What about Chris Gardener? The path to learning is paved by failure...

    Stuck while a task is delegated!

    EXECUTION 
    I agree with you Andy. We are working with a very focused niche, similar models have been successful but we are targeting a different audience. If we can provide the value I think we will, I believe people will be interested. Of course, my beliefs are irrelevant. It's extremely tough to test...

    Stuck while a task is delegated!

    EXECUTION 
    The concept involves a company that will produce a product for us every 6-12 months. Before we make the website, I have to find a company that can do this & undertake some quality checks. If we get the green flag, the rough workload of the site construction begins. So the value is 40% the...

    Stuck while a task is delegated!

    EXECUTION 
    Okay, so me and my girlfriend have a very viable business idea. The business will operate in cyber space 95% of the time, which means it will need a website. We can't use shopify for this specific business model. Luckily, she's a computer science graduate well capable of building a custom...
