    Some Updates on my Journey (Need Help moving forward)

    MINDSET FTE 
    Hey guys, 27 yo dude here, still living with his parents. I've been feeling very down on myself and kind of a loser (I don't wanna beat myself up but I'm just being honest). To make a very long story short, here's a review of what I've been through in about a year: 1) Tried to start a web...

    Getting Out of Depression and the Slump of Slumps

    HOT! MINDSET 
    What's up, guys. I'm gonna straight up rip off @heavy_industry with this thread, so I'll probably get sued soon. Basically, I'm going to be doing a progress thread on getting out of a very big slump I've been in for a the past few months. What I'm going to do is find what has worked for me in...

    How to see if an Alibaba company is reliable?

    So found a product that solves the problem of a niche (from my research, the niche hasn't caught on to the solution). I still haven't even tested if there is demand in the market but I found a few manufacturers that have the supplement I'm looking for. However, I had to ask the manufacturer...

    What is the best way to hire a (good) software developer?

    SOURCING SAAS / APPS 
    Hey guys. I'm currently talking to some freelance app developers to help me create an uber-like app. I've talked to about 5 now and while they have good portfolios, I still have my doubts in pulling the trigger (we haven't even discussed cost yet). I am very aware of how expensive app creation...

    Update from Last Post (The Burnout Recovery)

    MINDSET 
    What's up, guys. Posted last week about my massive physical and emotional burnout. I was in a very dark spot: woke up shaking from anxiety, intrusive thoughts, stress, depressed, asking myself whether this was all worth it... @Speed112 in told me a few weeks before my bad burnout that I should...

    Had a burnout last week...

    MINDSET RANT 
    I could use some perspective from more experienced fastlaners. Long story short, I was doing a million things at once since the end of 2020. Not too mention the stress has been non-stop since the end of 2019 up until last week, when my body finally broke down. I feel much better physically but...

    Ways to Manage Burn Out?

    HEALTH 
    Hey guys. I've been working a lot this past year and and still am in 2022. Hold a part time job, have a girlfriend, do web design on the side, play/record music, read, have friends/family, do chores/errands/commute and am also in the works for my fastlane business. But I'm beat, man. I...

    Journal Post #4: Product's Done(ish) + In Search of Editor/Formatter

    EXECUTION 
    What's up, guys. Hope you're all good. So I just finished my product... kind of. It's a very small book where I basically condensed a diet/lifestyle down to its most useful bullet points and how I managed to cure a digestive problem I had with said diet. It's a problem that is often written...

    Journal Post #3: Working on the Producto

    EXECUTION 
    So it's been a while since I've posted. I'm chronicling my journey here for anyone who wants to give feedback, ideas or relate to. So here's where I'm at. I discovered an ultra diet that changed my IBS but have never seen this type of diet as an option for people who have IBS (digestive/bowel...

    Journal Post #2: How Can I Do Paid Market Testing?

    MARKETING 
    Hope you're doing good, guys. This is my second journaling post of my search for a productocracy. As of now, I've done some light testing of the waters of an ultra diet plan that cured my digestion syndrome. So far, I've had interest from a few people (About 30 have shown a lot of interest, a...

    First Roadblocks (7/8/2021)

    So I had decided to go with the ultra diet solution to help IBS get better. However, a few roadblocks came up immediately: 1) I found out it's illegal to "prescribe" diets if you're not licensed, even if you're not actually prescribing anything. I wasn't surprised by this except the fact that...

    Update on a Few Ideas (July)

    IDEA 
    Really just writing down an update on my ideas and which I will choose. I like having a place where I can log in my journey. Last time I posted, I had three ideas that I was considering. I'll go through the ones I didn't choose first and why I didn't: 1) Infra red scanner for data entry: This...

    I just don't know what to do

    RANT 
    How are you doing, guys? So a bit of backstory: started a digital marketing agency and made some decent cash. Covid hit and everything went right out of the tank. Decided to get a job to make ends meet in November and it reminded me how much I wanted to get out of this rat race. I've tried to...

    I finally have an idea I'm considering: Sleeping Supplements

    IDEA 
    What's up guys. A bit of background, I started a digital marketing business that had moderate success last year. Worked some projects, had some jobs, hustled here and there. Got a full time job last December and am currently working there. I'm making good money but the long, boring hours have...

    For Anybody Running a Web Design Agency: How Do You find Your Customers?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    What's up guys. I just started a full time job last week to pay the bills. It only solidified in my mind how much I want my entrepreneurial journey to start taking off. This year I had moderate success with my digital marketing agency. I managed a few projects and made a decent amount of...

    About a year into my entrepreneurial journey (Scared of wasting money)

    So about a year ago I posted a thread about how I quit my job at Popeyes to pursue copywriting. I've done a few good strides and even though I am very happy with what I've accomplished, I need some guidance. I just don't know what to do. Here's the "problem". I've gotten a good sum of money...

    Can't seem to sell our social media services

    HOT! SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Hope you guys are doing well. I'm stressed out. It's been about three months since I started our social media management agency (where I live this stuff still hasn't even begun to poke its head. In other words, we could easily stand out on that niche). However, I'm running into a lot of...

    Should I open up a company to my personal brand?

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    So real quick. I've read many times that one of the big reasons one opens up a company is that in case you get sued, the company gets sued instead of your person. If I'm planning on building a personal brand (it focuses on instagram management for businesses), should I treat it as a company...

    Just quit my fast food job...

    INTRO 
    What's up, guys? Name's Doug, 22 years old. Read the books about a year ago, just now decided to take it seriously. So I recently quit my Popeyes job (two weeks ago) and am currently working weekends and studying online courses during the week. IT was the best thing I could've done. I couldn't...
