    How can I leverage this strength?

    HOT! 
    You started this thread with a focus on your ability to clean and organize. Then as I scrolled through, you mentioned other things such as 3d modeling, building a product and flying airplanes. You even acknowledged yourself that your "mind is very spread out at the moment". My intuition tells...

    Udemy censored my tinder texting course

    HOT! RANT 
    This thread did provide value to me, a good reinforcement on the importance of control.

    I'm competing with LinkedIn..

    Update: Got my first paying users, and at a time that I didn't expect. Funny how it works. Anyway, I've begun to redesign the website which is currently being hosted here: Quiklist - Looking for feedback, is it too simple? Does it get the point across? Messaging confusing? I'm also unsure if...

    I am quitting my 9-5 this week. I am scared.

    HOT! INTRO 
    If you weren't so talented at engineering, I'd advise you to stay at your job. But your talent and hard work has given you many options to consider, so even if you fail at one path, it seems you can easily find a new job. People are always in need of great engineers such as yourself, your...

    A fundamental question for any entrepreneur: What do I want from my business?

    NOTABLE! 
    I work closely with CEOs on a daily basis. You're pretty spot on my friend. I used to think I wanted the enterprise lifestyle until I saw it up close. Being CEO of a medium to large enterprise is NOT glamorous. You answer not only to customers, but your employees and shareholders as well...

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    me too, this is a brilliant thread and should be marked as gold. OP has been given so much great advice, this thread will definitely impact the many who find it and are in a similar situation. Thank you everyone for this post.

    What Do You Think of My Website/Business?

    From my perspective, the whole 'bee saucy' thing is kind of corny. Especially as you have a bee as your mascot. But as aforementioned, people here are likely not your target audience. From ecomms standpoint, the website doesn't really convey much in terms of what am I supposed to do on your...

    I'm competing with LinkedIn..

    Quick Update: Finally implemented a pay wall, made some money but a lot of users were upset and simply wanted a free tool. Considered re-investing into marketing so I can attract the right crowd willing to pay $$$, but honestly I've made negative ROI on this project, so I'm going to re-assess...

    I wrote a SaaS product because the internet made me believe it'd make me rich

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I relate to this because I too have also built a SaaS, I've got many users but only a few have paid. Just keep going. The alternative to perseverance is living a sh*t life anyway.

    You think people would be into youtube videos of me riding around NYC during corona lol

    OFF-TOPIC 
    why don't just do it and SEE for yourself? and you're not going to monetize for a long time, there's no quick money in making youtube videos unless you go viral quickly and build up a big audience quickly

    Am I depressed, lost or just lazy?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    How often do you go to the gym? It's unlikely to be a solution, but it will help keep you upbeat and ensure clarity in your mind while you try and handle this situation Funny I stumbled across this thread today because I've had similar sentiments these last couple of days. Nothing is actually...

    I'm competing with LinkedIn..

    Hey guys quick update - @Eagles1976 @Johnny boy I've listened to your feedback and made a select all button (it takes a minute but still the fastest on market, I'll improve it in coming months) and improved email accuracy (however it's very difficult because LinkedIn has a lot of safeguards so...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    Good tale. A key theme in this story as stated by others is 'compassion'. Over the last couple of years of being in business, I must admit that I've lost a lot of my compassion. I've not become jaded, I've just seen too many people willingly choose to be ignorant or cruel to get their own way...

    Sink or Swim: 1 Month to Sign My First Agency Client

    EXECUTION 
    I've heard that Linkedin can detect automation tools and will ban your account after some time, not sure if this 'Meet Alfred' software has a way of bypassing this security. I'd recommend using Quiklist.io (it's free) for prospecting on Linkedin - a good way to build contact lists quickly, that...

    Someone good with WebFlow willing to help?

    If nobody here replies, try Upwork or another freelance agency website - I can refer you to a designer if you're interested, just let me know.

    I quit my Job

    HOT! 
    Great job, seems like you already have a lot of great advice here. My only recommendation is perhaps using LinkedIn for the commercial side. But I'm not sure how efficient that would be time wise. Seems like it might be better to continue growth with consumer side in your local area. Best of luck

    Not sure this is the right place but looking for feedback on my landing page

    MARKETING 
    My quick piece of feedback: Scrolling through the website, I don't really know what it is you're offering to do, it seems like you want access to my bank account but for what? How will you ensure I "always have the right money for those pesky bills"? It wasn't until I double checked that I saw...

    [Progress] Starting another SaaS (travel industry this time)

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I'm also in the midst of building a SaaS, what do you mean by the "build trap"? Similar to you I've been getting feedback and a number of ideas sent my way. I'm investing a lot of time and money into adding additional features for my next version, but I'm also cautious in implementing some of...
