    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I remember the Dilbert guy talked about that his book. He was somewhat good at drawing, somewhat funny, and had experience working a corporate office job. When he combined that into the Dilbert comics he found massive success.

    MTF needs a slumpbuster: Too many swings, no hits.

    GOLD! 
    I've seen you mention Freediving a few times in this thread. You also say that you're pretty much covered financially. If I was in your position, I would probably start a business in relation to something I have a real interest in. Say a freediving Youtube channel and blog to build an audience...

    Starting a Marketing Agency (Progress Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    I found my first client on Reddit, I went to one of the boards where business owners in my niche are. I looked for people asking questions about marketing and website setup and answered some of their questions(provide value) and then I offered to set up/run ads for them or build them a website...

    Starting a Marketing Agency (Progress Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Been a bit since the last update. I got paid $500 in the end by my first client and he was very happy with his new website! It seems my dedication to 100% customer satisfaction on my cleaning and yard work jobs has carried over into web design. I'm currently in discussions with him on if he...

    Starting a Marketing Agency (Progress Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    A bit late on this week's update Week 4 Feb 5th-11th This week I completed the website for my client. He's currently busy, but once he's available I'll finish delivery and get paid. He's very happy with the site I made, so I think selling him on Google ads services will be fairly easy. Overall...

    INTRO 
    Hey, welcome to the forum! It's not that you should do the opposite of what gurus teach, its rather that they overcharge for courses, and they usually just give you some basic business model to run with in an oversaturated market. I actually think a marketing agency can be a good business...

    What Do I Do With This Money???

    INVESTING 
    My bad I mistyped. Its 4% a year that I'm getting, not 4% a month. 9.95% a year is an amazing return for a regular savings account, although it's actually such a good return its somewhat suspicious. I'd make sure that bank is legit.

    What Do I Do With This Money???

    INVESTING 
    People underestimate the utility of having cash on hand. Its nice to not be stuck living on the edge is something goes south. If you have them in Europe, I'd recommend leaving whatever safety net you build in a high yield savings account at a reputable bank. I'm not sure what rates they offer...

    First decided to get serious with marketing around Jan 5th, closed my first client today on the 22nd. For the first client I just want to have some work I can point to having done when I'm trying to sell in the future, so I decided to reach out to some small business owners and offer my...

    Hey Fastlaners, Been a while since I last posted on here, I previously started a window cleaning business and I managed to make some good cash from it. Business kind of died off as winter started and I decided not to continue with it. I realized it's not really the kind of work I can see...

    Growing a window cleaning business

    EXECUTION 
    I've recently started a window cleaning business as my sole source of income. I had previously had a "cleaning business" that I mentioned in another thread on here, but it really wasn't much of a business, I was just getting hired for hourly work through the task rabbit app. I took a job after...

    Cause & Effect [Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    To add onto this. If you want to bring customers your way you could establish yourself publicly in your niche. For example you could make YouTube where you give free advice on gym marketing, and then you can also offer your own services at the end of the video for the people who see your...

    Ecommerce Experience - Long term Strategy

    EXECUTION 
    1. Why do you need 10 products to start your own e-commerce store? I prefer the idea of starting with a single really good product and putting all your focus into it, then you can expand into other products once you've gained traction. 2. Creating listings on amazon and ebay, and doing SEO are...

    Starting a cleaning business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Just continued along with the grind on the taskrabbit app and worked my way up. I'm now #1 in the D.C area for the yard work niche and I've been stacking 5-star reviews. Made it to $52/hr as well for an average of about 20 hours per week. Not really looking to scale this into a real...

    Advice on getting my first 25 subscribers for my videogame crowdfunding magazine

    IDEA 
    Why do you need to do that in the first place? If the end goal is to create a video game, why not focus on a prototype. Once you have the prototype make a pitch deck showing your market research and the numbers you expect to achieve. Then go out and raise the capital you need all in one big...
