    Carbs may be the devil

    HEALTH 
    I agree somewhat. Sometimes when eating carbs on an empty stomach, my heart would race for an hour or so afterward and I'd feel like trash. I don't know if this is due to an insulin spike or what. In contrast, eating liver with eggs or any type of lean meat has never produced this reaction in...

    Should I get a job, or go all-in on my own business?

    MINDSET 
    Do both. You need some form of capital to bootstrap your businesses, and I advise that you validate them with true metrics (exchange of cash through a dud checkout) before investing in heavy inventory/resources. If you decide to work, at least try get a job in a sector that you can learn...

    Creation.

    MINDSET 
    This is why capitalism works so well: it encourages creation by offering monetary benefit. Although not perfect, it's the ideal framework for our current world. Sorry for the political rant, but I was reminded of how beautiful our ability to create is, and why it should be harnessed.

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    EXECUTION 
    I received my samples yesterday: two jars of neutral flavour drop-ins and another two with a hint of vanilla. Quite obviously–I was the guinea pig. It was somewhat nerve racking to take this pill made by a manufacturer on the other side of the world and consume it, but thankfully I didn't get...

    Scumbag Marketing... Share Yours...

    MARKETING 
    Anything that says: GET 20% OFF YOUR ORDER and in the smallest fine print possible, precedes to say: When you spend €100000 or more! Or, some companies are very good at throwing in a "freebie" that's actually probably covered 5x by their initial product's margin. (This isn’t really...

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

    HOT! MARKETING 
    College warps the minds of these young students and indoctrinates them into a warped agenda. As such, we're starting to see the effect: TV shows and big businesses trying to convince us men can be women and there are multiple genders. So, the probability that our leadership will fall into the...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    EXECUTION 
    Here's a rough mockup of the label I desire for my prototype tube. Instead of attempting to make this myself on Canva or something, I've paid somebody from Fiverr €20 to do it for me. It needs to be sized to the dimensions of my test tube (an empty tube I got from Tesco). I've requested some...

    “Do What Feels Like Play, But Looks Like Work to Others” — Is Naval Right About This?

    MINDSET EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Dudes like Naval make a simple topic much more complex to fill up pages and create some sort of philosophical work. I'll do whatever is required to take me from point A to B. I'll have just as much fun selling icepicks as I would selling technology. I love the entrepreneurial process. The only...

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    An ultra realistic VR experience to allow people to overcome phobias in a safe and controlled environment. It's being done, but it's not great. It could follow a subscription model like Calm, and have a massive selection of "missions", such as handling spiders and whatnot.

    My First Try: How Do You Validate Your Business Ideas Before Building?

    IDEA 
    You might benefit from my thread, which can be found HERE Always remember: Just because Billy from Reddit says your concept is cool, doesn't mean he'll hand over his hard earned cash for it. Test if people are willing to exchange some form of currency first. Their word means largely nothing...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    EXECUTION 
    I've finally gotten an update—my samples will be delivered in roughly 3-4 weeks. I made a post on my Instagram (@jittershield) about who we are and what we do. I've gotten one dm from a gentlemen who was very interested. To avoid action faking and complacency, I'll use these 3-4 weeks to...

    Am I making toothpaste?

    IDEA 
    Put up an RFQ on AliExpress—It's basically a request form that any manufacturer can respond to. Make sure you specify a reasonable MOQ, and it never hurts to exaggerate how big your "team" is. You can even do what I did, which is pretend there's some venture capitalists waiting for your product...

    Am I making toothpaste?

    IDEA 
    Good start. Take a stroll around your local store, take pictures of toothpastes and other items with a unique dispensing mechanism. Find a way to combine multiple ideas, and use AI to colour between the lines. Example: I was in the preliminary stages of making an "anti-anxiety" lip pouch...

    Am I making toothpaste?

    IDEA 
    I just want to reiterate my inital comment: think delivery system. I think this is vital to your goals.

    Am I making toothpaste?

    IDEA 
    Most toothpastes are commodities, so I'd advise that you value skew upon multiple elements. First of all, you got the health angle figured out–no fluoride or BS toxins. That's a nice skew. Now, let's think of something besides the toothpaste itself: How is your product delivered? Would a kid...

    Success loves solitude

    MINDSET 
    During covid, I wrote about this in my notes and titled it as "Solace in Solitude?" I agree with what you say here. A person should be EXTREMELY comfortable in their own presence, and possess the ability to entertain themselves. For example: I could sit in a room by myself all day because I...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    EXECUTION 
    Made a social media handle and will begin to gauge interest. I'll do this by briefly interacting with coffee enthusiasts etc. However, this is more a form of artifical busy work until I get my hands on the samples. While I'm in the early validation stages, it's the perfect time to pick up Eric...

    I have made a 12 Week Plan to launch my business, here’s how it’s going. Can you help me reach my goal to $6k USD monthly please?

    MARKETING 
    This idea is like selling butter knives when the store next to you is selling Swiss army knives. My opinion would be to re-enter the idea stage. I think you'll be eaten alive; there's no hole in the market for this type of service that can't be solved more efficiently and cheaper. But that's...
