    Have a SaaS Idea? Is it worth it? I'll tell you...

    IDEA SAAS / APPS 
    Great Point @JimmyRose but be careful here, don't assume that because you have a "better" way to do something people will actually buy it. Would you pay $200/month for something that's 10% better than your current software solution? How about 30% better? For most business the solution needs to...

    @damiandabcom Sounds like you're on the right track targeting Marketers who need a drag and drop solution that's great! @tafy ABSOLUTELY! I make all my clients build pitch decks and presell before spending any money on development. If you can't sell it on paper you're sure as hell not going to...

    How to Choose a Target Industry for the Fastlane

    GOLD! IDEA 
    @S. Brown Great question. Do not go after this product if it is designed for hospitals. You're looking for markets that you can easily reach the decision makers i.e. schedule an informal meeting with. These are businesses with less than 50 employees. I'd also be weary of getting into medical...

    Hey Fellas! A Few Thoughts. As a whole I think you all need a little tweaking to make your concepts less broad and more competitive. Let's see what we can do here. No, do not compete with this guy. He's established a network and is in the game, you're just getting started. Find a drop-ship...

    How to Choose a Target Industry for the Fastlane

    GOLD! IDEA 
    This post is dedicated to @TomTrepreneur who sent me a PM today with a legitimate concern that he simply did not know where to start when choosing a market and he felt like he was just spinning his tires. We can go searching and searching for an opportunity but in the beginning we don't really...

    Ok fellas I'm back. Looks like we've got some work to do! @mikekob OK - DO NOT HAVE YOUR CLIENTS SIGN AN NDA. You have zero leverage and an Idea. It's a rookie mistake and you'll look incredibly green so just don't do it. Second, @Stephanos83 and @Fulfilled included in this, you're value in a...

    EXECUTION

Seriously though, look you're trying to determine the market saturation right? there's a certain level of estimation that needs to be done here but let's look at the numbers. 1) How many potential clients are...

    Let's talk about partnerships / co-founders

    PEOPLE 
    @Gale4rc Great Question! Partnerships are essential for success but they come in many flavors. Look it sucks being an entrepreneur alone and you'll always be rolling the boulder up hill if you don't have a team of people around you building momentum. I highly recommend partnerships of some form...

    Has anyone ever started a web design business?

    @Twiizlar I'm just going to be honest here that post has trouble written all over it. Don't go into business in something you don't know anything about, that's a lot of risk. I'm all about mitigating risk and what it sounds like is that you've got some unique skills as a marketer. Pitch your...

    @Mike.B I'm not sure who this question was fielded to but almost every piece of equipment in most industries has a serial control port. I'm sure there's ways to bring it all together.

    It's not about who did it first...

    @RogueInnovation AWESOME POST, I really enjoyed reading your rant it's very passionate and resonates with a lot of my own standards on life. That said, I think you and I are exceptions to the rule here in that we're willing and have the resources to take the time to bring innovation. I like to...

    Can you recommend a book please on how to go about getting a product developed/manufactured.

    Ohhhhh @TomTrepreneur read my post here. Don't you dare do any R&D on ANYTHING until you've made cash-flow on selling or repurposing a product that already exists. I'm speaking from experience and I'm validating it across millionaire status entrepreneurs. Find something that exists, bring it to...

    Losing touch with friends

    PEOPLE 
    @Tommy92l I can offer two key points here and I hope they are valuable: 1) Entrepreneurship is a marathon not a race, you've got to plan your breaks. If you look at the world record holders in any long distance sport you'll find they take planned systematic breaks, runners will walk a mile...
