    How to get through the “stuck” feeling?

    QUESTION 
    Just remember, anybody who says (or thinks) they've got it all figured out is full of shit. Life is a journey, not a destination. You've shown some real business chops, just keep it going!

    How to get more 'premium' clients?

    MARKETING 
    Check out Chris Do on Youtube. He's my recent favorite and runs a solid design studio doing a couple million a year. Not out-of-this world but he's only got a couple employees so highly profitable. Beyond that, start targeting people who WOULD pay way more for web design. It's funny how some...

    Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.

    MARKETING 
    Maybe a light-hearted take on a serious issue would allow us to tackle these challenges with finesse... because as you say below, stuffing anti-depressents and other pills down everyone's throat forcefully ain't working. 64% is the latest number I think? I have a significant amount of...

    Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.

    MARKETING 
    And it's only going to be more and more intense from here. THAT is the piece that isn't different. Change is inevitable. And, sure, it's speeding up. But humans adapt! ... or we go extinct :wideyed: Jokes aside, I'd challenge the whole premise of the conversation from OP with a "so what?"...

    Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.

    MARKETING 
    It's fascinating to me how every generation goes through this exact phase. "I'll never turn out like my parents! All judgmental and closed-minded. These kids just don't know ANYTHING. They're all idiots! I fear for our future! Next thing you know, they'll ALL be gyrating their hips like that...

    Advice on funding next business

    QUESTION 
    Not to be offensive but for 2-4k/month... why bother? An investment of 10k to get a guaranteed 2-4k/month is a very good investment... however, it's not a very strong business. It is extremely helpful if you just say what you're trying to do... in plain English... without trying to be a secret...

    Advice on funding next business

    QUESTION 
    Hindsight is always 20/20... but whenever I borrowed or raised money for a project, I realized shortly after that I could have done it for much less and/or nothing. If you have any sales chops whatsoever, you can sell the product/service before you have it, collect purchase orders, and borrow...

    The Idea of location-based social media apps

    IDEA 
    ^ IG's local hashtags do an extremely good job at showing me restaurants, cool bars, things to do in Arizona as well.

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    Expectations. You would probably feel guilty if someone was sitting next to you working and you weren't. You probably wouldn't have the same stigmas if you got hung up on -- you could laugh it off with someone in the trenches with you. Victimized is a strong word with a lot of presuppositions...

    Should we learn Code or No code to touch Billions of people with that great Idea?

    IDEA 
    Don't ask the Fastlane community for feedback on your product. Nobody here will buy it. Go to your customers and get REAL feedback.

    Should we learn Code or No code to touch Billions of people with that great Idea?

    When should you focus on sales when building software

    QUESTION 
    Seconded. I'll subtract a day, so day -1.

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    Nothing wrong with that. But this is complete B.S. (belief systems) Woah, woah, woah. Hang on hurricane, slow down tsunami, take it easy tornado. If you think "High Intention, Low Attachment" means act like a robot -- you're very, very far off. Your emotions are what allow you to connect...

    I have a lot of thoughts on the subject... and if I shared them all here, we'd be here for hours. Here's the answer to your question: Levels of Energy has been an incredible read. I've listened to the audio 10 times or so now. From an emotional and strategic standpoint, outbound sucks. Years...

    When do you know it is ready?

    EXECUTION 
    How about you just tell us who you serve and how you help them? The vague-ness hurts my soul.

    How do I grow my business?

    IDEA 
    Look, man... This forum is different than Facebook or social media world... there are real entrepreneurs here who have real businesses. You made a major mistake coming in trying to position yourself as superior. Nobody here does that (no matter how much money they've made). I must be in a...
