    Appreciate your response. Can you elaborate on my "own marketing being complete", what would suffice this criteria.

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    It's fantastic to see the progress you made from this, congratulations. One quick question though, would you recommend looking for sales/marketing positions when starting out on the web design industry? Reason being that the one thing I learnt was cold-prospects would reject my offer due to the...

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    The eCommerce site was built to sell my service, however due to more research, I decided to get into web design to build the skills needed to run a business, get some experience with the market and to help ramp up my capital acquisition.

    Failing to verify my Idea with the Marketmind

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Hmm, never considered approaching businesses, this could be very effective. Would you say directly targeting lenders from the UK rental services, like FatLlama, be an effective strategy? Appreciate the recommendation, will definitely read.

    Failing to verify my Idea with the Marketmind

    IDEA MARKETING 
    That is very true. To add on what I said to MJ DeMarco, making it easier for the people in UK to rent out their products from all categories by posting it for rent on an e-commerce site and allowing it to be delivered to the borrower's door-step. The lender-borrower interaction is the problem...

    Failing to verify my Idea with the Marketmind

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Noted, appreciate your response. The rental services in the UK, like FatLlama, do not offer a delivery service for rental products. So my approach was pinpointing an effective way to get products from lenders to borrowers, without having to meet up and negotiate with pricing. However, focusing...

    Failing to verify my Idea with the Marketmind

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Hi I generated the concept that multi-vendor e-commerce sites that focus on rental products are not providing a complete end-to-end solution for both lenders and borrowers. I discovered this through language patterns, from people talking about looking for a service where they can rent out...

    IDEA MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I looked into the "barbell approach" and it stated that “moderate” risk investments, is the path the majority of people take when starting a business. Hence 80% of new businesses fail in the first couple years. In my scenario what would be an example of "medium risk" ?, because as you mentioned...

    I have read TMF about 2 months ago and I have been committed to executing my business idea since then, from learning how to code to researching and building an MVP website that resolves around my idea. However I've been having some difficulties lately to carry on with this momentum, as I have...

    In my case this specific function is essential to create as it is the foundation of my unique selling proposition. I am already using a multi-vendor Marketplace system, however this will not be sufficient in this moment of time. So to answer your question, it is something the business needs. I...

    Can you elaborate what you mean by the phrase “something special“ because I am currently building an e-commerce peer to peer marketplace on Wordpress.However the plug-ins that I am using do not have the specific function that I need for my business. I am now required to customise the plug-in so...

    My opinion on this is using a site like Wordpress to build your website is a good way to implement the first version of your idea. Since the goal is to convert your Idea into an execution and process and get it out there in the market. It could be seen as an MVP or an alpha test to see what...

    Do you need to learn coding for web design, even if you are using Wordpress?

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    You have made a good point about the use of different servers, as my website will consist of peer-to-peer sales. Also I have prior experience with coding in python and know the fundamentals pretty well, so will this help me with learning JavaScript and aid me in implementing it on the backend...

    Do you need to learn coding for web design, even if you are using Wordpress?

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    I appreciate your advice, and to answer your question I am leaning towards the option in learning it. As I want to do as much as I can myself in this moment of time, and to be self-sufficient in this field. As my main focus is getting out there as soon as possible and have a minimum viable...

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    I have been using Wordpress to create an e-commerce website, but I have noticed a lot of people learn HTML and JavaScript before they build a website.
