    We are living in crazy times. I've seen videos of celebrities and fictional characters parodying a rapper's incredible walkout onto the stage. I thought I would dig into it since it would be a good laugh. I fed the AI one photo of me. Within five minutes, it gave me this. It's choppy and...

    Teaching People to Lose Weight as Fatty BoomBatty

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm sorry it's taken me a while to respond. I wanted to avoid lashing back and throwing ad hominems everywhere, so I took a few days away from reading again. My initial response would not be productive for me or you. Also, I wouldn't say I like the written format because once I re-read what...

    I forgot to post this here, but I danced at one of the best ballrooms in the UK a while ago. Laminated wood floors, three-story tall ceilings covered in gold leaf - the entire day made me feel a part of high society. I've only been doing Latin and Ballroom dancing for a year, but the skill...

    This is a trainwreck of a thread. It is all fine to play devil's advocate, Black Dragon, but calling people "brokies" isn't professional to people who could be your peers for the Fastlane. It doesn't make others want to work or associate with you. Maybe you don't care, whatever. Others will be...

    Building Products and Sell Them via E-Commerce [Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the guidance. I thought I was greedy, going for a 40% net profit margin. In the case of charging what people would pay, is a high conversion rate (+5%) indicative of charging too little?

    Super cool bag idea. Seems disruptive but ripe for cheap Chinese knockoffs. View: https://youtube.com/shorts/92O6kruci54?si=13JqlLuEnA5347GP Edit: later thought for those doing website design and marketing, this guy's website it pretty bare bones. I'm sure there would be some value someone...

    Building Products and Sell Them via E-Commerce [Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    The calculation I did was (All costs)*1.4 for a 40% margin on the product. You could increase it with the cost of acquisition. Alternatively, you could do (all costs)*1.4 + 20EUR for the extra spend for ads. That'll be 80EUR-ish.

    Building Products and Sell Them via E-Commerce [Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    I know we discussed increasing it to this price, but the audience has spoken. If you want a 40% margin, that would be 63EUR, including shipping. I just thought you could decrease it to this. Congratulations on the sale though!

    Why stocks, bitcoin, and crypto will NEVER be Fastlane.

    I don't write about the exceptions because that's boring to read. Call me ignorant, but I don't think you can include all the nuances and not bore people, at least in the first post. But now we have a floor to talk about it, we can do so. I do know that crypto has a use outside of illegality...

    Hassassin's ecommerce journey

    EXECUTION 
    I'm not entirely sure, but my intuition says you can list now and make the improvements as you go along. As long as the final product is solid, you can begin to focus on the garland (packaging, customer service, etc. ) around it. I began selling with just my product in a cardboard mailer because...

    Hassassin's ecommerce journey

    EXECUTION 
    I have a couple of thoughts after reading through. I'd be cautious of seeking perfection; done is better than perfect. When I released my product, it wasn't ideal, but good enough for people to buy. What you're developing now is the minimum lovable product (which I'd argue is already there)...

    Cheers for coming back, It's awesome to see another person from the UK making products here. I see a positive. I understand it's crap that you're being fleeced, but as far as my knowledge goes, you won't have another bill like this to incur. You can scale, scale, scale & you won't have to deal...

    Help me get over my ex

    I'm only 22, and I'm going through something similar. Firstly, it's not one person's fault. It would help if you remembered that she didn't mention anything and failure to communicate is a common relationship killer. It's not fair for you to shoulder it all. How were you to know? It doesn't...

    Choose an industry/skillset and stick with it

    ASSERTION 
    Gracefully said, relationships can easily absorb progress into the late twenties. That said, I'm not against them, either—it's about understanding the boundaries of time. @Strategery, I'm glad to hear it's working out. A lot of people are in nasty dynamics - willingly!

    ASSERTION 
    We don't disagree; most people on the forum don't even get to a one-figure valuation because they're too busy fighting phantom problems that don't exist. Does a business owner need to know more than a simple Google search? Sure, but starting is as simple as solving a problem for someone. I...

    Welcome back, man; I was wondering what happened to you. The 30-day challenge of getting $2k was a significant bit of work. "The prize doesn't go to the fastest. It goes to the one who slows down the least." A lot of the game is longevity. How long can you stick to one thing & implement it as...

    ASSERTION 
    I'm glad you've spoken about this. Shiny object syndrome is real; many people jump to and from ideas. I had multiple things 'running' at once, and it's not nearly as potent as keeping to one thing for a while. You find that all it does is satisfy the ego, telling yourself you're doing something...
