    Overwhelmed

    MINDSET 
    Good for you making the decision early that you want freedom and a FastLane. And good for you taking the time to start educating yourself and developing Specialized Skills that you can use to develop a Specialized Unit. I have a few suggestions for you below, but they all flow from one...

    Progress thread: Writing my own success story

    EXECUTION 
    Rebecca, While I understand what Dan is saying from an eagalitarian business owner point of view, in my opinion what you are doing focusing on working/entrepreneurial moms makes sense. You are going to be tailoring your messaging and your solutions to their SPECIFIC problems as moms around lack...

    How would you set up a funnel for a $7k+ product?

    MARKETING 
    Typically a high-ticket product like that is going to be closed on the phone or in person. A funnel would be designed with the goal of getting people to book calls or meetings, not to sell the product. I wouldn't really think of it as eComm at that price point, because to sell things of that...

    Any YouTube PAID ADS Experts here? (NOT YouTube Channel)

    MARKETING 
    Hi All, I’m working on getting started on using paid YouTube Ads and I need some help. I tried starting YouTube Ads about 6 months ago, but my company Google Ads account got banned within 48 hours of starting my first ad. I have no idea what I did wrong and I honestly wasn’t trying to do...

    Update: Started Getting Traction, Set Back & Tragedy, now Starting Over Again

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    It actually has been hard to give myself a break. Even though there are so many things that are more important and have to be dealt with, particularly with the Estate, it' hard not to feel guilty that I'm not trying harder or moving the ball forward with my businesses. Wow! That list itself is...

    Don’t lurk, do this instead

    GOLD! HOT! 
    @Andy Black Thanks for this post. It was the first one I read upon returning to the forum last week after not being around since last year. It came at a time when I was particularly down (for non-business reasons) and needed it. And it help set my head and mindset back on a good path for my...

    Update: Started Getting Traction, Set Back & Tragedy, now Starting Over Again

I wanted to share what’s happened with me over the past 16 months now that I’m trying to return here to the Forum and participate daily in the community. Both to share my struggles, my successes, and to provide context for a few future posts...

    Starting business in 2022 is a bad idea??

    OFF-TOPIC

    Promo without paid ads

    I'm not sure what your product or audience are, but you could also consider Tiktok, Rumble, and other new/edgy social media as well. I have heard there is a product called Hootsuite that centralizes management of social media and lets you send content to multiple apps from one interface. If...

    Promo without paid ads

    For a lot of people, seeing something in action might tend to have more of an impact. It would help them visualize themselves using it. Could you make one or more short videos of you (or someone else) using the product and post it on Twitter/Reddit? Something engaging and lighthearted, not a...

    Supplement with New & Unique Formulation - Specific Questions

    Hi All, In brainstorming potential Fastlane products/projects, I keep returning to the nutraceutical/supplements niche. I know many members here will have considered those ideas and I have read many of the posts cautioning again that space due to it being saturated and competitive. However...

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

    IDEA 
    DougRMR, I'm actually working on a supplement idea right now and was just coming to the forum to ask a very specific question. My pre-post research lead me to your post. I agree with jmb9286's comments. You have to be unique and really think through what you're offering and how you are going...

    Help me validate a health technology business idea

    IDEA 
    One last comment: Your title for the thread is "Help Me Validate A Health Technology Business Idea". A business idea would be a solution to a need. What you identified in your post is what I would call a niche. Unfortunately, despite the true needs in that niche, business ideas (aka...

    Can you recommend a "kanban board" online service?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I use Asana for both my day job and my business. I like it and the phone app is also good. It's free, so keep in mind that "you are the product". I agree with try a couple and just pick one

    Help me validate a health technology business idea

    IDEA 
    To give you some context, hundreds to thousands of scientists worldwide in both academia and industry, that each have a minimum of 10 years scientific education and training before they even start, are spending their entire careers working to solve these types of needs in labs that cost...

    Help me validate a health technology business idea

    IDEA 
    dbuzz, The area that you have chosen is indeed exciting, having the potential to impact millions and therefore to make millions. I'll be honest and say I have done some lab research on technologies we hoped to develop into diagnostic tests in my day job academic research. But from your post, I...

    Introduction and my story (...MJ asked for it...)

    INTRO 
    Mathuin, You and my wife think along the same lines... We got married a couple of months before I started my faculty position. One day my first year running my lab, I came home and my wife was watching Breaking Bad. She was all excited and said "Honey, you can do this! You have the facility...

    Introduction and my story (...MJ asked for it...)

    INTRO 
    Mutant, Thank for the comments and the cartoon. Tenure does offer a lot of protection and freedom, but sadly not the absolute kind that I think it used to. Fortunately I've managed to move my physical office and half my lab space outside the control of my chair, so that does give me a lot of...

    Introduction and my story (...MJ asked for it...)

    INTRO 
    MJ, Thanks, man. You have no idea how much that means to me coming from you. I know my story is kind of unnerving, but the Slowlane is and always will be slow, even for high earners and those with security. I noticed immediately when reading TMF that doctors and lawyers can just as easily...
