    Cleaning SAAS Progress Thread

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Small-ish update: Graduated with my masters in comp sci - unaffected by it other than happy I saw it to the end and that it is over. Day job pays for it with no hooks (I don't have to pay it back if I leave). The last semester was absolutely one of the craziest I had in school but alas it is...

    Will the Kombucha / probiotic drink industry grow in 2025?

    IDEA 
    The big boys do fake kombucha though right? It isn't raw?

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    If I am understanding correctly why not just drop / raise prices on those top 15 calling customers - surely the cost of employee time on phone and added stress isn't worth it with lawn margins? But I think I misunderstood if you are giving them special treatment to go straight to the office admin.

    I haven't heard the way this was laid out and never heard the cherubim/virtue thing (not sure where that all comes from - I can't say I've gleaned it from my own Bible reading) but overall the premise I feel is rock solid. It can be seen just by looking around - this is how the world runs not...

    Starting Interior Detailing at 18

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Steering away from this specific scenario I will say you will find in business everyone is always trying to you to just do "one little small tweak" to what you offer. Listen to patterns and figure out how to appeal to the majority but small little one off things opens you up to more risk for no...

    20 y/o rejected from University despite being a topper in 12th grade

    This is going to sound cold but rewrite this in max 7-8 sentences is the best feedback I can give you. It transcends helping you in just this one problem if you think about it.

    I'm 17 at 10k/mth and I don't know how to do finances!

    MARKETING 
    I'd say repeat it a few months in a row before going too crazy but then after that I'd say maybe start the process to protect your design. I recall it being novel right? Good luck and good job so far.

    Franchise Development Help?

    MARKETING 
    Hop on LinkedIn and find someone who runs one of the similar ones. Offer to buy them lunch. Go from there. If not say you are doing market research and can pay $x for them to participate in a survey.

    Flying Private: Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    You've got the right drive - keep pushing. And hold yourself to no matter what launching in that two weeks - no maybe. As long as you are not going to hurt someone ship smaller stuff broken if need be so you get past the hurdle of actually making it live the first time.

    Scaling my car detailing business

    EXECUTION 
    Can you pivot to selling the leads/jobs to others that you can't get to yourself for now while you work on slowly scaling up employees?

    Is there a need for this? (Literally)

    IDEA 
    So let me get this straight - your target market will be people who can't make up their mind? And somehow deciding to pay you is going to be different?

    Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Making assumptions here based off the Twilio / legal aspect I am guessing you are doing something in the ballpark like texting contacts you didn't get their opt in for? Which is prob why Twilio dropped you. I looked into this a bit when I was trying to buy a lead autoresponding company and may...

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yup you are getting it now - this one is one more step involved though - they sound like a software shop themselves that is going to resell your labor from client to client. AKA even more annoying employment gig where you have to learn many different peoples stacks/environments/business logic.

    My challenge with books

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    If its genuinely not from you just not wanting to practice self-discipline I saw stop reading every single book that doesn't provide the value to continue. Or at least start skimming to see if it picks back up. Time is short - don't waste it on things not relevant to where you are it in life.

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I can explain a bit there actually - used to be in that side of the industry a bit too. What they are asking you back is trying to get at if you want is typically called "corp-to-corp" / "c2c" and it is used in recruitment industry to onboard usually foreign workers into otherwise in all...

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I hire freelancers by flat rate and I recommend contractors to bill flat rate too. Detach yourself from hours as business owner to eliminate financial risk as well force yourself to put a $ value on what you need done - gut check. Detach yourself from hours as a contractor to actually scale...
