    I think I'm not that guy anymore - Took me YEARS - FTE and execution

    FTE EXECUTION 
    The answer is they just do it. As you might have guessed from previous replies, I’m the type to overthink things at the expense of action, yet what helped me being consistent with it was that the expected pain of working at a corporate job became too high to justify not acting anymore. I...

    Thanks for the honest and necessary feedback. I need a shift in a way I approach things, and focus on getting market feedback as soon and as cheaply as possible. Knowing code is useless if I don’t sell! Just read “The Right It” which is aligned with what you say, now I need to act on it...

    An update: On the development part: - Async email with Amazon SES DONE - Media & Static files now served from DigitalOcean - Implemented a new functionality that lets practitioners contact potential applicants when they post their request (vs posting and passively waiting). - Next: automate my...

    How to Build a Saas or App Concept to Market

    Watching this thread as I’m in the process of creating my first app. So far so good with steps 1 to 3! Will you cover the launch/marketing steps? Thanks!

    Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback. 1. Alright so I may keep on working with SQLite then 2. I saw this s3 a lot already, so I will give it a try 3. Saw Mailgun and Sendgrid for this solution, then started doing something with Django celery and redis, which worked really well, only to...

    Oh yes, so easy to waste time and then complain I don’t have enough of it! This will be a huge challenge. Probably worth the effort eventually! Thanks for your support

    FTE EXECUTION 
    You’re right, I must focus on the app that is almost completed now. I was just thinking of other ideas based on my interactions from that day. I’ll not execute on them right now, at least before I’ve completed the app release and marketing part. On the day job part, I actually signed my exit...

    FTE EXECUTION 
    Was on the road yesterday, and while looking at cars on the road, I noticed companies websites or emails plastered on their vans, which is very common in most countries I guess. Actually, I see this all the time. The only difference now, is the way I perceived it. I thought that I could check...

    I have APP idea. I can’t code and I don’t trust Ai. Help.

    IDEA 
    Everyone has great ideas, but they’re worth nothing by themselves. What’s your idea and what additional value do you plan on adding? I think no one here will “steal” it… CENTS analysis on your product’s vision? 1 year ago, I was like you. An idea, zero coding skills. Started learning code...

    A quick update to show that I'm consistent... Yesterday went to bed at almost 04:00AM as I was so focused on solving my issue. Today, it's 01:13AM and I'll go after writing this message. Thoughts: 1. The html/css/js/python code itself is already quite demanding, but is only a part of this...

    Thanks for the feedback. Code as leverage is indeed very interesting. Not sure yet how to leverage it (subscription, package and sell?). Priority right now is given to releasing something on the market. I still find it so hard to work on this stuff. And so easy to give up. Will probably get...

    FTE EXECUTION 
    If I had to forget all what I know but 1 thing that really helped me, I would keep this: Just solve the problem that is in front of you, then move to the next one and so on... This is clearly mentioned in the books and is so simple. Each problem can be decomposed into simpler ones for which...

    Hello, Yes, I'm that guy. Sorry @MJ DeMarco, you haven't changed my life... yet :) The one who read all the books (TMF in 2016), and got nothing much done except for some action-faking. I know I'm far from being the only one. Even so, something has started to change in the past year. I'm...

    Make money with B2B ecommerce, even with just 1 product

    HOT! 
    Would this mean becoming a distributor of an existing brand (no control though) or look for a way to have it manufactured and sell it under your own brand? I looks like there are many patents in this field. For heating gas, I guess it is not a concern.

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Finished it yesterday. Re-reading it. Of course I was afraid to find the same things as in The Millionaire Fastlane, but that was not the case at all. What really resonated with me and helps me everyday: - "To be someone, you can't be driven like everyone" - "Passion flows when effort is...

    How did you discipline yourself?

    MINDSET 
    For the smartphones addicts: I just discovered the app (for Android and iOS) called "forest" which functions as follows: You set a timer (from 10min to 120min) and you plant a seed that will grow until becoming a tree ONLY IF you do not quit the app, which means there is nothing you can do...

    China + Asia in October? Canton Fair + Travel.

    MEETUPS 
    Hi guys, I'm currently in Daegu, South Korea as an exchange student so it is a great opportunity to meet some of you all around Asia :) However, I'm kind of a fastlane beginner. That means I do not own any business now nor had any "real" action taken. Hence if we meet up, I may not be able to...

    Have you talked to your friends about TMF?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    What's funny about it: I'm pretty sure everyone actually WANT to find a way to work less/earn more money and freedom. However it's hard to change minds who typically follow the flock. "If everyone gets a job I think I would do that too". Most people want certainty, they want to have their...

    How I (didn't) become a millionaire at 19

    HOT! 
    Thank you for sharing you story! Great advice. "There is no secret to success." I believe people want to be given a "path" to success but every entrepreneur has been through a unique one that will never repeat itself I think. "Listen to your gut over anyone else, but know when to quit if the...
