    Greetings from Cork, Ireland

    INTRO 
    @Neil Shannon Welcome to the forum. Your situation isn't unlike my own...except I'm 47. Oh...if only I could have those 9 years back. You've come to the right place to "surround yourself" with like minded people after an exodus from the scripted life. Better late than never as they say. I hope...

    Profit Sharing Experience

    I think there is a fine line between employer vs. employee expectations. The employer would tell you they pay you a salary to do your job to the utmost of your ability. If they didn't think you had value to them in reaching their corporate goals you would not be working there in the first place...

    This is my story (eCom, liquidation event, RE, more)

    INTRO 
    @ecommerce_lovin Welcome to the forum. I am always amazed by someone your age who has been so successful. At your age I was just trying to figure out how to get to the weekend so I could get out to the clubs. I guess that's why I'm in the place I am now and learing something new from someone...

    Former Slowlaner and wannabe entrepreneur from Italy trying to understand where to start

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Welcome @macq I know there are entrepreneurs in Italy because I just met some last week. Some gentlemen from a company called Zobele were trying to sell me some fairly unique products. I'm with @ZF Lee , you probably haven't been looking close enough to your surroundings. Regardless, it is...

    Wrong side of 40, new dad, time for a rapid lane change.

    INTRO 
    @NickNack Welcome to the forum. Your story somewhat resonates with me. I found myself in a similar situation when I was 34 only as a single dad not knowing how I was going to raise a daughter alone. I wasted so much time trying to do the "right" thing through the slowlane. Now at 47, with my...

    Too scared to take the plunge?

    And sometimes it may just be the best decision you've ever made....

    Forum offline for 10 hours...

    Oh...and here I thought it was the evil WallStreet minions hacking the forum to prevent us from escaping the slowlane and try to force us into lemming like scripted dogma in perpetuity.

    Which phones do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Apple does most if not all of that in some way, shape, or form. I have an iPhone 7. Tried switching to an android powered HTC phone once but didn't like the android interface. iPhone seems more intuitive than other operating systems to me. The only thing I don't like is no standard...

    As an Englishman this...

    INTRO 
    Welcome from a 47 year old yank who wishes he had a really cool English accent. Fortune smiled upon you my friend. Finding a copy of Unscripted is gold. You will never look at things the same way after reading it. Do you have entrepreneurial aspirations now? You're definitely reading posts...

    Anyone worked in warehouse ops or familiar with them?

    Supply chain operations is my slowlane job. Warehousing is pretty simple stuff. It shouldn't take that long but it really depends on how busy they are, how important you are as a customer, and how organized they are. It sounds like your product is really small. It is possible it got set to the...

    Going in deep...time to make it happen

    INTRO 
    @El_Johnson23 Welcome to the forum. Sounds like maybe you had your FTE? I'm fairly new here myself. The forum has been a breath of fresh air to me. Like you I'm treading water daily in my slowlane job just until I get my business up and running. I make a little progress every day. I have a 2...

    Should I do THIS before testing?

    You are using the sources I would try. You could google graphic design houses in your area. Have a local resource may be of value. Or you could go to Udemy and take a graphics software course and try you hand at it yourself.

    My Dad gave me bad money advice...

    @SweetPotato Welcome to the forum. As a newbie here myself I totally understand the finally finding "like minded people". That has been my sentiment exactly. You will definitely find a ton of great material and advice here as well as people who want to see you succeed. It sounds like you have...

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    You know...I've seen a lot of back and forth on this thread both good and bad about crypto. It reminds me of a never ending political argument between "friends" on Facebook. I would think there is enough evidence on crypto to make any true, curious entrepreneur at least take a look at it...

    How to tell my slowlane parents about fastlane without making them sad about their wasted life?

    Where do you come up with your startup ideas

    IDEA 
    I disagree. Ideas without action are sh*t. Every great business started with a great idea. The difference between a great idea and a great business is action. To that point @jpanarra is right, learn the skills you need to take action (i.e. sales) but above all else take action. Most of the...
