    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    Thank you all so much for your help. I've reflected the past few days about what you all have said and on my project. I think as you mentioned that it would be a great thing to learn CAD myself to do some quick prototyping of ideas that I have, and I may decide to invest the time in learning...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    Will be small - could fit in your hand. Static load that holds less than 2lbs. Part needs to be very lightweight (plastic). I know this doesn't tell you much, but that's what I need. I really am hoping I can find someone local to sit down with me. I assume anyone with decent cad skills...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    Yes that would be just one element of the part I need created. one side of the coupling would screw into the rod, and the other side of the coupling will have to be a custom bracket that attaches the rod to the component. So this part connects a rod to a component - one side screws into the...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    It's one part. It's a coupling to connect a threaded rod to another component. It's not something complicated at all, I just need someone to determine the design that will work best to achieve my desired function and also has the expertise to design it in a way that is optimal for...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    I'm sure I am overcomplicating... You're right, sometimes I just don't even know who to reach out to help me but I guess that's just part of the process. I could find someone who may have some kind of knowledge on a task I'm having trouble with and then ask them to refer me to someone who could...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    I'm really wondering what solutions most entrepreneurs have found to help keep them on track with working on their business and help them get over roadblocks they face as a result of their lack of expertise. For example, I do not know how to design parts in CAD or even what kind of part I need...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    That's a great idea - I can call around to schools and see if they have students that would be interested in a project...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    LinkedIn is a good idea, however I'd like to find someone who has a service specifically for product consulting rather than trying to hunt someone down who may or may not be interested / able to deliver. I haven't tried upwork yet because ideally I'd like someone local who can actually sit down...

    Stuck: hit a wall in developing my product

    Hi Fastlaners, I'm developing a product and have spent a ton of time creating the prototype. I've done as much as I can do myself, and need some outside guidance on how to finalize the prototype and guide me on how to get it mass-produced. I believe I need a custom part designed...

    Advice Request: School Apparel/Accessory Store

    Hope everyone's having a great day! :smile2: I'm still stuck on my idea I've listed above... Seems like it could work, but can anybody shoot holes in it / improve on it? Really appreciate your advice.

    Advice Request: School Apparel/Accessory Store

    Right now, this is staying inside this one particular school, so not exactly "fastlane." I know there's other companies out there that are fastlane companies that offer schools an apparel shop service (so this function could be 100% outsourced), however I want to be able to have more control...

    Advice Request: School Apparel/Accessory Store

    Dear Fastlaners, I'd appreciate your feedback for what I should do in this situation. I work at a highschool, and I've been asked to create a school apparel/accessory shop. The board wants it to be profitable starting this year. My idea is to get a simple shopify website and link it to a...

    Fastlane High School Business Academy

    That's a great idea to have them break down all those numbers over a specific business - that'll really get their "business mind" going. And making them do that for a video game they're interested in - that's even better! Your business model canvas activity is excellent - simple and...

    Fastlane High School Business Academy

    AWESOME, I'm going to buy that book now! Thanks for the recommendation!! Great point MJ, you're exactly right! I'll reach out to our Alumni who have started their own businesses and ask if they would come by the school and talk to a few classes about their entrepreneurial journey. They...

    Fastlane High School Business Academy

    Correct. It's a college prep school, so basically the goal up to this point has been to expose students to business content that they are going to see in college to give them an academic leg up on their peers. You're right, maybe the school wouldn't go for me totally changing it into a...

    Fastlane High School Business Academy

    Great suggestions. Maybe for the public speaking class we could also cover communication and emotional intelligence. For programming, maybe they could learn python and build an app or build a product using arduinos/raspberry pis. I don't have a lot of experience with "non-traditional...

    Fastlane High School Business Academy

    Hi Fastlaners, I've been hired by a local high school (grades 9-12) to take their Business Department to the next level!! I've been tasked with deciding what classes are taught, the curriculum, special projects, field trips, etc (basically everything). As all of us here know, "formal...

    Sigh, Why Didn't I Know This...

    Is there a way to do this anymore?

    Is it worth it to become an Accountant?

    HOT! 
    Any business major in a University (finance, marketing, accounting, logistics, management, etc.) is all well and good, but those majors are NOT going to teach you what you ACTUALLY need to know to be successful in the real world as an entrepreneur. Colleges train you to be an EMPLOYEE, not an...
