    I quit my job and bought a shoe store

    EXECUTION 
    Unrelated, but I wanted to try barefoot shoes, but not spend $200 right away. Got some for $20 on AliExpress and love them! Been using them for 4 months or so, and they're still in great condition. I even wear them in the gym.

    Profitable (and very odd) side hustle but not sure how to scale it….

    SCALING 
    I've seen similar readings being sold on Etsy and Fiverr; I'm sure many sell those online. I'd research them and see if you can somehow position yourself to be more premium and thus charge more. I actually work (as a freelancer, not a client) with a spiritual coach. You could definitely do...

    Anyone else here on steroids?

    HEALTH 
    Just curious, what research led you to the intravenous method? Never heard about anyone taking test intravenously, whether for medical or bodybuilding purposes.

    Exploring the value and limitations of freelancing

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I see. It feels like you care, which is great, but it also feels like you're way overthinking it. I would say just try to get into action quicker. "Try selling these" - don't overthink it, start filming and posting reels on IG and TikTok. See a local bakery? Organize a giveaway for them, get...

    Exploring the value and limitations of freelancing

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I don't want to be an a**hole, but you seem like someone with little to no track record giving advice to someone who has an established business (even though not incredibly successful). No wonder he's not very open to you. I find it odd that you keep going back after making a pitch, then...

    HOT! CHAT 
    Isn't this the Fastlane forum? Who gives a F*ck how much health insurance costs? It's insignificant compared to the value it offers. Within reason, I'd pay whatever it is. I HOPE I won't ever need it, and I don't worry about how much "I've paid for nothing". Sure, I'm not from the US, so it is...

    Business idea I came up with from pain point

    IDEA QUESTION 
    Glad to hear! Honestly, there's not that much to it. It's simply figuring out what the highest acceptable price you can pay to get a sale is, and whether it's realistic. For example, you want to sell a protein powder supplement for $40. Deduct all costs - product cost, label cost, packaging...

    Business idea I came up with from pain point

    IDEA QUESTION 
    I did, and I'm pretty sure OP won't listen, but I do try to remind people about unit economics. It's a very simple exercise that would answer most of these: "I came up with a genius trinket idea, should I make it a business?"

    Business idea I came up with from pain point

    IDEA QUESTION 
    AliExpress and Amazon have lots and lots of options for it. You could possibly invent one that looks nicer or is more durable, but would the unit economics make sense when there are hundreds if not thousands of options ranging from $2 to $10?

    Go on the damn adventure.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Same, I also didn't graduate (even though I was doing great and only had the final exam left). The university was worth it because it took me from a dark environment to a lighter one (both physically and mentally). That reason alone made the whole experience worth it.

    Why Do I Keep Getting Stuck at a Few Hundred Bucks a Month?

    IDEA 
    I've been stuck at low to mid 4 figures per month for years, but I kind of know why some make more than others. Realistically, how does what you offer compare to cheap freelancers on Fiverr? I can confidently say that I offer a LOT more value than 90% of freelancers offering the same services...

    Anyone else here on steroids?

    HEALTH 
    Then it makes sense. To grow professionally, I would do it too - as long as the risk is calculated (both in terms of health and the potential for being banned from competing). Peptides seem very interesting for injury management (and other cases), but I have to admit - I don't know enough. I do...

    Anyone else here on steroids?

    HEALTH 
    Cool! I think the test is great, but suggest anyone looking to take it for the "gains" to really consider it. It obviously works, but like - are you serious enough about training to actually need it? TRT - amazing, fortunately, I'm still young ago to have healthy test levels.

    Anyone else here on steroids?

    HEALTH 
    I have done a test cycle (started with 250mg a week, increased to 500mg). Got stronger and bigger, as expected. Also got acne. I've had it in my teenage years, but it wasn't significant as an adult, but the test made it come back, and a lot worse. Otherwise, no issues. Blood work was fine a...

    "Home cooked" business idea - worth exploring further or not?

    IDEA 
    I've said this in another thread, but this needs saying it again - do the math. What does preparing, packaging, and delivering 1 meal cost you? What about registration and insurance? Going to risk it without any? What other options are available to people in your local area? How does your...

    AI girls as a business model?

    - AI - 
    Which is what I believe those creating AI models do. They're not making a fortune selling AI model subscriptions, but selling a course on how to do it. Their models only exist to kind of prove that they know how to do it. Are they actually making any money with models specifically? Who knows...

    Action faking, negativity, I need advice

    MINDSET 
    I used to study in Denmark, which was a great learning environment with plenty of practical work and plenty of real-world opportunities. Several people from my class are relatively successful entrepreneurs. I would go to university AND build a business. Do both. I'd argue that if you can only...

    Three Masked Men Broke Into Our House While My Girlfriend Slept Alone Inside...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Glad your experience also turned out relatively well! I've been rather fortunate, too - about 30 countries visited in the past 5 years, and this is the only negative experience. Haven't travelled around Europe for a while, though. Even though I'm European (Latvia) myself, at least online it...

    Well, that event happened at like 2 a.m. and nothing valuable was taken (the wallet was basically empty), so we just tried going back to sleep. Didn't sleep much, though, as every noise outside woke us up. The next morning, the landlord came and said the police and neighbors had been notified...
