    Just saw this comment on Youtube - the slowlane is real. Start working on your life today.

    MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    At the risk of going against the grain, to me passion is the same as your strengths. You are good at what you are passionate about. Most billionaires were passionate about their work, it started with their interests or passions and then it followed from there, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren...

    A sculptor's journey towards the Fastlane

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Temporarily in BCN too, have you tried teaching other people what you do through youtube and maybe paid courses ? I do art too in my spare time and unless your fees are high, commissions are never a good time investment , instead try to create products / videos / software, related to what you...

    [Progress] Starting another SaaS (travel industry this time)

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    Sounds amazing. Is your site prepared to handle that kind of scale once you start getting a few thousand users in ? Also have you thought about combining lodging with your service? maybe with an established API ? Happy holidays.

    How is coding a fast lane venture?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Seems like we agree after all. Though I never said that developing is overkill, depending on your goals it might be a better idea to learn other aspects of managing a business and delegate writing code to other cheaper developers that you can subcontract. My company employs awesome Indian devs...

    Great thread, shows how much work you need to put to get results. You are a very hard working dude and definitely have the attitude to get there. Thanks a lot for sharing all these details so far.

    How is coding a fast lane venture?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    With my comments I'm trying to help people who think they can get fast results by going into coding for a few months, I'm trying to warn them so that they can be better prepared for whats coming if they go this route, as I was there years ago thinking that coding was the answer to my problems...

    How is coding a fast lane venture?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I fully agree with this gentleman. There's a lot of misconceptions in this forum where people keep recommending others to learn to code because apparently if everything fails you can "easily" get a $100k remote job after your first bootcamp and a few months of experience. That is sadly not...

    Fastest Way to Build an App?

    HOT! 
    If you want to build a specific non trivial app without development experience then that is not going to happen fast. It's going to take you a few months of constant tinkering. Best thing you could do if you want to validate your idea is to pay someone else to create a minimum viable product of...

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    That might be true if you are a Spanish company, if you are from a richer country, basing your startup in Spain is not bad at all :hilarious:. When I was interviewing there I worked exclusively for foreign companies where they didn't even speak Spanish in their offices. 500 pounds a day doesn't...

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    you are from Spain ? I worked in Madrid and Barcelona a few years ago then ended up moving to the US. I think Spain is very good for a startup due to the low salaries, you can hire a team for 1/3 of what you would have to pay here. How are the salaries in the UK like for a dev ?

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I feel you my man. I used to game dev for a few years because it allowed me to combine two of my passions, development & design/illustration. Went on to release a few apps (games and utility apps) for android, iOS and even Blackberry back then lol, none were wildly successful enough to quit my...

    Stop wasting time finding a need, focus on being GOOD at what you are passionate about.

    My 2 cents In a way I'm going to have to agree with MoreValue here. It's totally ok to follow your passion as long as you are smart and objective about it. Without passionate people the world would be a very boring place where everyone is simply trying to satisfy the market in field of no...

    First Fastlane Month, Feels Amazing! $65,000+ Revenue Pre-tax

    GOLD! TAXES | REGS 
    Thanks I'm planning on searching for a new job this next year, I'm going to give that a try. I don't think my experience is that different as I met a dude who was straight out of a boot camp and he was having a hard time finding jobs, he interviewed for 3 months with no luck with only about 6...

    First Fastlane Month, Feels Amazing! $65,000+ Revenue Pre-tax

    GOLD! TAXES | REGS 
    To be more precise I'm in Texas and in my experience the offers here hover around 85k - 95k as a javascript developer (react, react native, angular, vue) assuming that you have a couple years of verified experience. Last December-November 2018, I interviewed with at least 10 companies and those...

    Good thread. Been a developer for around 10+ years. Barely crossing 100k a year now down in the south working for a remote company. Not sure where you guys get these 200k and 300k jobs, as most of the recruiters and companies I've interviewed for offer way less than that, specially if you are...

    is mobile game a good business?

    INTRO 
    Totally, I agree with it. There will always be a huge audience for good games. There is a lot of competition out there but you can separate from the rest by creating a quality title and taking your time to work with your audience. In my humble opinion one of my biggest problems when I created...

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Great thread. What kind of metric do you use to decide how much of the earnings are reinvested on marketing ? From what I see, your earnings are almost directly proportional to the amount invested on marketing. If so, how do you plan on improving this situation ? Thanks for sharing your journey.

    is mobile game a good business?

    INTRO 
    I am just speaking from my own humble experience. I've released a few titles myself and 15 years ago we didn't have unity nor unreal. These days unity allows you to create quick apps/games and released them on major platforms in a few days. There is a reason for Steam's decision to ditch steam...
