I have been trying again and again with physical product development and really sitting down and thinking how arbitrary this business model really is. Haven't found much success at all, each iteration costs a lot of time and money. In the end though it is still very arbitrary. If I finish the product I could still be stuck with zero. Nearly every product I want to test requires that the product to be fully developed to even show it. There really isn't much "lean" startup method.
The prototype pretty much has to be finished to show functionality and get good product pictures to really sell it.
Anyways, I know this is very anti fastlane but the only consistent income I could get out of the job is stock options. I have just been dumping my slowlane paychecks into them. I am averaging like $300-400 a week. Decided to choose this business because it was more passive and the return on capital is significantly higher than if I got a house. Since I understand this option thing pretty well, I wanted to do options on futures (higher leverage).
I have one more product in development that is waiting on several tools to finish making it.
Are there any more so called "guaranteed" businesses without the arbitrariness like product development? If this product development doesn't work, I am going to have to pivot completely from everything I have learned about ecommerce...
Day in and day out, literally feeling like I am throwing my life away. I keep drooling over the fact of spontaneously quitting and things just end up working out.
