    I always assume I may be buying a device from a pro scammer. Do you usually do this during the purchase or shortly after the purchase?

    What Would You Tell Your 18 Year Old Self?

    MINDSET 
    I'm 36 and there are some hard truths I'd tell my 18 year old self: -People will disappoint you and you will disappoint people. You need to be selfish and focus more on yourself before you can care about others. Especially when it comes to family. -Master saying "no" and never become a...

    Advice on starting a side hustle on sales with a hearing impairment.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    That's very encouraging, I always felt that cold calling was the tried and true best way to pitch to prospective leads and close deals. I felt quite limited during my 20's since back then textual communication wasn't the norm besides quick e-mails. At the moment I am employing WhatsApp to...

    Advice on starting a side hustle on sales with a hearing impairment.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I can see why it looks like I am chasing a shiny object syndrome. The truth is, I've had to switch skillsets due to many reasons in my 20's. I initially chose a career in cinematic visual effects which I did when I was 21 until 24 years old. At 24 I was working two jobs because why not? I could...

    Advice on starting a side hustle on sales with a hearing impairment.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've been slow to reply because I've been thinking about that. Wondering if a small reward for a referral may motivate them to help and spread the word. I've made posts on Facebook about the skills I possess, and I've had family members and friends re-post it to their networks. It did not yield...

    I made a client $15,000 in 3 days doing what no one else will

    MARKETING 
    This sounds awesome, brand loyalty has always been a staple in any e-commerce business. Where do you see e-commerce booming the most? product? digital? subscription?

    Signed a lease on a shop (Service Shop in the Auto Industry)

    Sounds like you have a solid process going. I just had a random thought of you going over to Gas Monkey Garage to have them customize your mobile detailing vehicle to draw a lot of eyes to it, lol.

    Hey Carlitos, I am coming over from my Side-Hustle thread and I wanted to share some thoughts on your progress. I know that you are heavily focused on SEO, which works great for leads finding you locally. But I don't see much mention on your social media. What's your social media presence? I...

    Advice on starting a side hustle on sales with a hearing impairment.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hey Carlitos, We have a lot in common. I spent most of my 20's living in Dallas, Texas. And during COVID, I also worked in mobile car washing/detailing, lol. I'm a software engineer focusing on virtual reality and as you can imagine, no one dared to share a headset with other people at the...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thank you for taking the time to reply and linking me to your other post. I have already messaged people I know and offered them my services. For context, I'm originally from Mexico City and I've lived in Dallas, Texas for 12 years before moving to NYC. Most of my network is largely from...

    Advice on starting a side hustle on sales with a hearing impairment.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hello, Fastlaners! I have posted in the forums before and suddenly became a lurker...again. I won't lie, having been born deaf and living with hearing loss is a bitch. Mainly because interpersonal relationships and networking is much harder when I've struggled with clear communication skills...

    So WTF are NFTs all about? Buying JPGs? Why can't you just right-click save? Is this a giant ponzi? Far from it...

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    That makes sense, although I am not thinking about releasing an e-book, I was just wondering about the exclusivity of NFTs and how creators can benefit from making limited edition series. Still, if the author wants to keep releasing new editions because the previous edition owners are hogging...

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    I understand how the NFT royalties work. However, I need to understand the following: If you sell a limited edition e-book (let's say there are only 5 units, ever) that is so good that the next person who buys it pays about 10,000 for it, how exactly will the author benefit from royalties if...

    Where to find a partner or two

    I have partnered with several people I've met at MIT's 2020 Reality Hack Hackathon. I know that it's not feasible during these times to meet large groups of people in one space but it was incredibly easy to get to know people who share the same interests as me and everyone was super friendly...

    Hey Fastlaners, Just a long overdue update: I closed my Virtual Reality business and I won my lawsuit settlement against my ex-real estate partner in court but I still have yet to collect reward since the dude is broke!. It has been a rough ride during COVID and had some real bastardized stress...

    Me, I just moved to NYC at the end of August and I'd be interested in meeting fellow fastlaners. I had to pause doing business due to COVID, but I am actively thinking about new ideas.

    Virtual Reality for Enterprise Solutions. - Help with feedback

    That's part of the reason why I've been in the VR game for a while, and being a indie developer with 3-D and programming skills...I feel pretty confident that I can provide value in this field. But as I mentioned in my first post, my downfall is pitching and selling. I don't have a strong sales...

    Virtual Reality for Enterprise Solutions. - Help with feedback

    It's great to get to know more VR developers in this forum, are you an indie developer? it'd be cool to connect, I usually frequent Oculus, and Magic Leap Discords. My big issue with developing "demos" or low-fi prototypes for prospective clients for free is that it does not guarantee...

    Hey, I am back in the forums, and since my last post...I fell into a bad place in my life due to the anxiety of not having my investment money. This year has been a real rollercoaster, at the beginning of the year I participated in a hackathon at MIT and got to meet a lot of people who are into...
