    The One Simple Thing you can do to make your business stand out

    MINDSET RANT 
    Getting my house ready to sell is reminding me of the most simple Do's-and-Don'ts for business. We needed the place painted and some carpet replaced. The realtor recommended some painters that came in and did a decent job for about $5k. When I called them to come do touchups and some missed...

    I need to build an eBay-style web platform. HELP!

    EXECUTION 
    I don't know of any off the shelf marketplace software, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If I was to take this on, I'd try to find one before building it myself. I'd use as much pre-written pre-tested code as I could, because it's a BIG job no matter what you do. The reason I asked what...

    I need to build an eBay-style web platform. HELP!

    EXECUTION 
    So, I'm one of the coders that @BizyDad mentioned (well, sort of. I'm an iOS developer, but same idea.) You have to know you're not the first person to ask for this, right? In my consultant days, I had damn near every single popular site pitched to me, with very small (or no) differences. So...

    I'm having AI anxiety. What is your thoughts on upcoming AI?

    CHAT 
    Fearmongering nonsense. A, GPT-4 isn't nearly as good as the media hype makes it out to be. It's a cool, effective, useful tool, but it's not replacing anybody yet. If it's passing standardized tests, it's because those tests were never particularly effective at what they were supposed to be...

    Freelancing reselling business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Sure, but you do understand that you're not actually doing anything, right? Look, I'm not gonna get into this. You're money chasing, trying to find a shortcut to money instead of taking the time to learn how to deliver real value yourself. Read The Millionaire Fastlane and drop this nonsense...

    Why would I hire you instead of the $10 guy?

    Post Your Desk or Work Area! (The Workspace Thread)

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    I love threads like this. Here's my office, in the bonus room loft in my house. We're moving in the next couple months though (hence the bare walls and various boxes), so I'll have to do an update when we get into the new house.

    Is a web development business or an app development business a better idea?

    Detroit is dangerous (in general, there's dangerous parts and nice parts of any major city). San Francisco is horrible, all over. They refuse to enforce any number of laws, so there's needles everywhere, people literally defecating on the sidewalks, people walking into stores in broad daylight...

    San Francisco is a shithole. Literally and figuratively.

    At this point, there is zero reason to ever be in San Francisco.

    Will AI kill the fastlane dream?

    I know for a fact that you can. I know someone who did exactly this for his company.

    Build a flash games website and run ads? Need your advice

    IDEA 
    I wouldn't use Flash, as it's unsupported in every browser now. Flash-style games done in HTML5 though... It's been done, which means it can be done again. Build something interesting and fun and you've got something. A Pong clone isn't gonna do it though.

    Is web/mobile apps a way?

    SAAS / APPS 
    I'm not sure I can give you specific advice on those apps, but having a lot of them is certainly an advantage. You could put ads in them, list them all for free, and cross promote them inside the apps to increase downloads and ad views. You could list a few for free as intros and cross promote...

    Is web/mobile apps a way?

    SAAS / APPS 
    Hi Michael. Welcome to the forum! You can absolutely live a Fastlane life by selling mobile apps. However, from experience, I would not go into the tank for a year to develop this app. Things change too fast. Tech, competitors, market, motivation levels... a year is a long time in this...

    Must I Have A Success Story To Sell?

    MARKETING 
    I mean, it doesn't have to solve your own problem... I don't imagine @Subsonic is spending a lot of time washing his own windows. Anyway though, if you made something to solve a problem, there's a reason you made it, right? Why did you make it, what made you want to solve that problem instead...
