AmazonFba was kind of successful to a degree, issue was the price point in that particular niche was just to small so advertising ate up a lot of profits.

Good suggestion and point here. I am currently looking into becoming a subject matter expert on a particular topic of interest, as of now, I feel like I'm not on any topic. Rather I know a little bit about various topics.
Any resource suggestions that I can look at?
Thanks this is a valid point, ill try this out!
Love it, thanks for sharing!
Wow, had a feeling something was coming down the pipeline. Didn't they submit some legal challenge about being closed due to covid?
Thanks for your response here, I like the quick launches of products, however, my coding skills are a hinderance here as im still learning. I understand your point however. I like the community advice, however I feel like this step takes time, the very things we are trying to cut out. Perhaps, by choosing a specific niche and always tailoring products around that niche may help build the community faster than switching niches often.
First off thanks for your post, its been a great read and very helpful.
Most important the lessons learned you shared are great and I hope you don't mind i've made a copy to reference as the going gets tough.
I think time is the one thing I definitely disregard. Disregard in the sense I move too quickly, its just how my brain operates. Learn, push things out, rinse and repeat. That's typically my approach to things. I am going to try and slow down, let things marinate and see what happens.
Appreciate your input here, and believe me reading your comment spoke to my soul! It's literally my struggle.
"maybe we (I) should just take it slowly, focus on something we enjoy and has (some) meaning."
A hard yes on this! I am going to try to shift my focus into something meaningful, enjoyable and see where that take me.
Good luck with your journey!
Thanks for the quote! Definitely resonates.
Hey, I agree I'm sure plenty of entrepreneurs can relate. I'm in my mid 30's also, but I still find myself pivoting frequently. I think it may be a balance issue in my case. Meaning, working a full time job and having family that need my time and attention. In this case, I try to find something that sticks, and if not, I move on. But maybe that approach is flawed. Maybe the overall vision of becoming financially free is the wrong approach. Maybe it's a matter of focusing on something you really enjoy. Not enjoy as in for a few months but find something you love and has meaning. Maybe that's more fulfilling and will lead to financial reward?? I really no have clue, it's such a hard landscape to maintain, cut, water, weed etc. I'm glad you found enjoyment in what you do! I'm happy for you even though I don't know you. Good luck with the rest of your journey!!!
On here, no I don't think so. But for what it's worth I believe you.
Great job on this and the idea itself is genius. It does look like the earring uses the piercing itself to stay in place. To be honest visually the top portion does look awkward, but I am sure it's just a matter of getting used to the look.
Nonetheless, great job and goodluck!
Hi everyone,
Here's a little bit about me and the newsletter I decided to create and launch.
I tend to be interested in various topics on any given day. Deep diving into a topic often leads to another, sometimes related other-times not.
This is how my brain functions... some call it scattered others call it 'all over the place'. But I call it curiosity and the drive to learn.
The Dopamine Hits newsletter is my outlet. Its a place where I can read, summarize, and provide links to various articles.
To be honest, its been fun doing the research on various topics not only for myself but for others who learn or prefer to learn in this style.
I have only created one email (working on #2) but I wanted to document my journey thus far and also provide value to others who may be interested.
If you are interested and do read the preview please let me know your thoughts and suggestions on how I can improve.
I am using Roam (more and more these days) which I am sure will lead to interesting subjects in the near future.
Thanks for reading my post.
Stay safe, Paolo
I think growing a community consists of consistency, inclusivity, and really driving discussions. Paying close attention to users.
GPT-3 is at the very least an indication of future AI advancement. Sure maybe this particular version is still early to be widley incorporated in business or used globally. It's definitely a step in the right direction. I'd personally love the opportunity to test it personally to really get the whole experience.
I think you captured this perfectly with your explanation. I did not take into account the teams. I was solely concentrating from a fans perspective in error or from being a fan myself. So this delicate balance won't really change much due to the reason you outlined. I'm curious in your opinion what do you think could change that will affect the sport in a positive manner (from a fan and business perspective)?
I see the formula one body always trying to change rules that effect car performance. The goal, more overtaking and competitive racing. My question is if they were to have more technology limitations meaning less area of improvement would that balance of 90% car 10% driver change for the better. Say 60% car and 40% driver. Wouldn't that make it more competitive?
Do most of these apps mention this in their privacy terms? I would imagine it's somewhere in there, but who has the time to read all of that. This reminds me of HEY.com Apple is following suit in terms of notifying the user on privacy...
Hello, I am creating a list of curated resources that revolves around startups. Ideation, Growth, MVP, Validation, etc. The list entails articles, videos, books, podcasts.
If you would like to check it out visit https://gumroad.com/products/KXuUaX
Hi HN, after trying to research various phases of a startup, I realized there wasn't a curated list or at least I couldn't find any. So I committed to make a list using notion of all the articles I could find (Ideas, MVP, Marketing, etc). It's a working progress but if you have any resources please do share so I can include them in the final product.
Thanks for your support!
Great job on this! What made you think of this product and how long did it take you to make?
My thoughts are to reform online education by teaching subject matter that is more relative to life, business and self. Such as Emotional behaviour, Financial management, Relationship building, etc.
TDLR - Cease-and-desist was sent to Clearview AI from Facebook/youtube. "CEO Hoan Ton-That claims his company has a First Amendment right to the data"
Great, thank you very much. I will send you an email at some point or another
There must be sometype of framework she can use to detach from work. Have you tried or suggested meditation, maybe that's a way to calm the brain at least dealing with the nightmares.
Thank you. I appreciate your view on this. Im really thinking to create or start a business myself. Now, I know that may be contrary to what I mentioned above, the amount of time needed to pursue this goal, meaning less time working more time at home. But, I believe I could achieve that or at least balance it in a way that works for me. I think the best fit at least from my ignorance is some type of SaaS. I can control time, I'm passionate about solving problems and programming in general. I just need to commit to an idea and go for it. I know that most likely the SaaS wouldn't be the end all be all, but at least it's a start. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks for your input on this. I haven't given much thought to moving from Canada to abroad. But maybe that's the alternative. It would be a difficult transition for everyone as most of my family is close to me 30 drove tops. Maybe if the situation doesn't improve perhaps that's something I could take into consideration.
That's great to hear. The fact your choosing to live more frugal in order to devote these important years to family. Congrats on that aspect of things. I wish you all the best and thanks for taking the time to respond to this post.
