So, I've been struggling with game devolpment for about 2 years now,

For some reason, I'm just restarting and restarting my project over and over again. But I think I know why: Game devolpment is a huge endeavor so I think I was focused to much on the big stuff(even though back then I didnt think it was that big). So, my plan for this time s to start really small and release it for free and then when I have enough content on there I up the price to $3. That way I wont get burned out as well...

Watering a New Brand - mdot's Hardware Startup and E-Commerce Progress Thread

Hi Fastlane Forum, since the beginning of the year I've been tying up loose ends on my existing projects (mostly hobby projects, no businesses) so that I can focus on my first business venture. I'll talk about the venture itself shortly, but first I'd really like to thank everyone on the forum - I've learned so much in the past year, especially reading the gold and notable threads, progress threads as well as following up on book recommendations that have further expanded my knowledge and...

Idea to make millions

Hey All,

I am new to this forum and this is my first post.

I own a small business called Life is hard Fighting is Easy. I teach private and semi-private sessions in martial arts, self-defense and Yoga along with wellness and life coaching.

I used to be a mechanical engineer working 9-5 but I saw there was a dead end to that life at and hated every minute of it.

I thought I was going for financial freedom when I transitioned to my business full time until I read Demarco’s books. Man...

Your business is your child

Have you ever spent time around little kids?

Their energy is infectious, their honesty is palpable and their capacity to dare and dream is inspiring.

Did you know your business is your child?

Not in the literal sense, but in the metaphorical sense.

If you want it to grow, you have to put resources, effort, and discipline into it and make sure it avoids its raging tendency to go off the rails.

You also have to wait a very long time to see what it becomes.

You think your business is the...

Business Plan for Investors

All,

I've been reading about business plans lately, and specifically if there is a difference in what you might include to pitch to an investor. This article about investor business plans seems to indicate there are some tweaks/elements you may adjust to better target an investor vs. a standard business plan. So..

1) Do you think it's worth adjusting a biz plan to match an investor and if so...

I know the principals of why FIRE isnt wise. But I'd like to learn exactly why this isn't fastlane/a smart path. So looking forward to any input.

Moving the needle, and readjusting along the way

Hello yet again!

It's been a period of reflection and self-growth for me. I've moved forward, faced fears, got a further understanding of myself, and now it's the time I make this thread.

My end goal is to build and maintain a civil engineering business, while creating value in the sector by getting first-hand domain experience as a licensed civil engineer.

I've been away from forum participation, mostly because I knew I'd use it as an out for action faking. I'd just be around and...

Do you think there's potential to compete with Facebook?

Given the current trends, the giant keeps growing but I'm thinking of the potential at entering the market using a blockchain based descentralized site. Making it focus on promoting growth and businesses like LinkedIn but with focus on organizations rather than individuals.
Only other similar attempt I've found was https://www.minds.com/ but it seems its not very big yet and there's an increase on free-speech blockchain based sites such as...

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

I been putting off this thread for a while already. All though I do keep a diary on this business journey, ideas, issues and solutions that comes along mostly everything gets documented in it. It would be nice to also have an execution thread here in TFLF.

If you go back to a few of my threads I have started in the past, none of them got completely followed through till the end. All of them were ideas that I started and gave up along the way. Ever since my last thread here, I have gone...

Hey MJ & co. Why Is "Everyone Doing It" On NFTs? Is It The Real Deal?

I haven't found this thread in the Forum, and I'm sure many more will ask it again, so here it goes:

No matter what career you have, you'll have probably stumbled with crypto and NFTs. Because they're everywhere, from Gary Vee's channel to Google News.

With curiosity, I started and learned about the pros and cons of this currency. I'm not a fan of art/collecting, but for what I've learned, NFTs are an inflated version of that (easier/faster trade of non-fungible tokens).

Almost every day...

2 Businesses, no Fastlane, what next?

Hi there,

Longtime lurker here. Sorry for the very very long post. Without going into details I find it difficult to go give advices.

(1ST BUSINESS)
To sum it up: I did a Master in Industrial Engineering (majoring in finance) but started helping out in a Catering Business of my girlfriends mum while still studying (2019). There was no business it was mostly selfemployment: No standards, no processes, no system, nothing. I started everything with some sort of microdatabase in...
