    How far are the jobs from you? You could easily purchase or borrow a bicycle and ride it to your jobs. I don't believe transportation is truly the problem at hand here. Are you willing to put in the effort? Have you had your "F This Event (FTE)" yet? These alone can create you wealth fairly...

    How do you all seek out needs?

    I can understand that. I'm also looking to relocate in the next 5 years. Pittsburgh is too North for me! haha

    I didn't read your other intro thread, but I'll provide some advice to help you along. Are you currently working one job? Is it manually intensive? Have you considered getting another job? I would first lower your expenses as much as possible. I noticed that you were a filmmaker as well. Have...

    How do you all seek out needs?

    What part of WV are you in? That’s where I’m from as well and live here. Would be happy to connect with you. May be able to share some ideas together as well. I believe that we both probably run into the same obstacles when it comes to looking for needs and doing market research. I run an...

    Anybody in the Auto Glass Business? My new endeavor.

    Sounds like a great opportunity. Your cousin sees the potential as you have proved to him. And you obviously know the potential. I recommend learning the business in and out. Then, like you said, applying your skill set to it as well. I’d look at a few different aspects. What type of customers...

    Its been one year of FLF for me. This forum will change your life and Ill prove it.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Congratulations! I read through the entire thread. Really great to see your progression. I wanted to ask, what changed since 2017? I read where you mentioned that you purchased your second duplex and was on your way with your other business, but what happened during that 2 year time frame? Did...

    When selling a service to a medical facility, should I be cold calling administrators or the owners?

    I believe this would depend heavily on the service provided. Will this service be directly dealing with patients at the nursing facility? Or will you be dealing with management from an administrative side? Try to take a look at your main stakeholders and who would be the most interested in...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I look forward to seeing your progress. Sounds like you have a good plan forward and are working towards your goals. Hopefully with a solid employee, you can begin to get your footing. Good luck!

    I want to be world-class but don't want the world-class effort! Tell me how!

    Many people want handouts. They want to be told the exact steps how to get there, but are not willing to put in the work. My favorite quote in Unscripted was: "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." - Thomas Edison Action faking. Vision...

    Fighting for my freedom

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! I'm another Engineer by career on here. You're definitely in the right place. Take a look at the GOLD and NOTABLE threads as you'll be sure to find a goldmine in those. Learning as much as you can day-by-day while working that 9-5 is a good start. But execution and doing...

    @LeftBench just read through the entire thread. What a journey you've made! Congrats on your progress and the realizations that you've made early before it turned for the worse. I'm glad to hear that life is going well for you. Would you happen to have any updates in 2018? Curious to see how...

    SinisterLex's - 2018 Upwork $100k Challenge

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Followed your other thread and finally came to this one. I'm starting a little late in 2018, but I am up for the challenge. Updated my Upwork account as it has been sometime since I last used it. I have experience in writing, so this should be an interesting take for me. I look forward to...

    So you want to flip used items and make cash? Cool!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yep, I see your point exactly. In my area, a lot of people use Facebook marketplace for smaller items like smaller electronics. If going to bigger, more expensive things, then Craigslist is definitely where to go. I try to typically aim at the ads that have been on the site for a few weeks...

    In the fastlane and looking to go even faster!

    NOTABLE! 
    Loved reading your story. I think we can all appreciate the way you stepped out of your comfort zone as @A. Rodriguez said. You took action when you saw an opportunity even when you knew little about beauty products. Congrats on your success! Stories like this are inspiring to me and others

    Hi everyone!

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! Definitely the first step was to read the books. Check out some of the Gold and Noteable threads. There's a lot of great information here!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've seen this done before (in other settings), but you have to be careful using the same images. I've seen where that same seller will be on both sites and will call you out openly - especially if the Craigslist site and Facebook Group are in the same narrow location. But it can be done...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted. After reading TMF, I think Unscripted was a great sophomore book. Unscripted could stand alone as it's own book, which I was happy about. I do believe I enjoyed Unscripted more-so than TMF as it was very comprehensive and covered more than TMF did. Will be rereading TMF...

    Masters in engineering vs management

    It honestly depends on the type of engineering. After reading your posts, it seems like you're in the mechanical/electrical realm. As I am a Master's student in Industrial Engineering myself, I can assure you that a Master's degree will be helpful. If you are able to obtain a graduate tuition...

    Buckle Up.

    EXECUTION 
    Congrats on graduation. I just finished up my Bachelor's as well. I look forward to hearing about your journey! Are you solely looking at Upwork or do you have other connections for Copywriting opportunities? Do you plan on calling businesses or going door-to-door?
