Hello from the UK!

[Lolarose777]

Hi Fastlaners,

I've recently read TMF , and like many others have become trapped by the paralysis that is overthinking and not taking action.

I've been trying to think about problems/needs that I could solve with an online business, but am really struggling to come up with ideas. Completely appreciate that right now the best thing to do is not overcomplicate with thinking about businesses that satisfy the CENTS framework, but at least meet the NEED.

To all those who have dived in and made the start with various different businesses, even if they've failed, how did you map out your ideas and settle on what one to start? And did you read up loads and try to upskill before starting or learn as you built?

Would really appreciate any advice you can give.

Thanks

IDEA CHAT EXECUTION  Post in thread 'Industrial Businesses Megathread'

Nov 23, 2025

As an outsider these businesses seem great but impenetrable. On my list of gaps

1. No product idea
2. No skills to make them
3. No capital to start (may fix this one with another venture though).

Are there any business on industrial entrepreneurship you guys could recommend to build my base of understanding and begin to form plans (or a starting idea at least)?

I'd never even heard of a machine shop before I started one. I just talked to everyone I could looking for a business and customer and someone mentioned trouble he was having with a local machine shop. Did some research at...
