Hey FLF,
It’s been a minute. Last time I was here, I was busy failing at pretty much every entrepreneurial “great idea” under the sun. Dropshipping, a web design agency (shoutout to Fox’s thread ), a PPC agency for dentists (yes, dentists), and most recently an in-person and then online personal training business. Spoiler: none of them worked.
So I did what any defeated hustler does… I crawled back to the slow lane and got myself a 9–5. It’s remote, flexible, pays the bills. But let’s be real, this isn’t it. Especially with AI coming for my job (and probably yours). Feels like if I don’t figure out a fast lane gig soon, I’ll be polishing ChatGPT’s boots pretty soon.
The issue? I don’t know what to do or who to trust.
I’ve got time outside my job to build. I'm open to ideas but leaning towards a b2b productized agentic service. I've gathered that this is the "future" from some YT videos I've watched. Ideally something I can validate before building, then scale with a healthy monthly MRR ($500 - $2,000 /mo) and LTV.
What I don’t want: joining yet another paid “AI community” where the main business model is… teaching you how to start an AI business. (We’ve all seen the “agentic businesses,” automation bros, and “join my mastermind” pitches.) Feels like the Wild West out there, and everyone’s just selling shovels. It's not that I'm opposed to joining one of these, but I just don't want to waste my time with nonsense.
So, where are the real opportunities? Has anyone here joined these AI groups and found them actually worth it? Who’s legit and who’s just farming noobs for subscription fees?
I trust this forum more than the Reddit/YouTube/Twitter hype machine because people here call out BS. So hit me. Links to solid threads, hard truths, or just your take. Appreciate any direction.
