    EXECUTION 
    2/9/2023 I've been consistently uploading two videos per week since the last update My shorts production did fall short however I am very satisfied with my editor, who is fast and reliable I've had two videos cross the 1,000 views mark (not counting shorts) but also many failures with less...

    Is youtube fastlane

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    Control - somewhat, because you control what kind of content you release as long as you conform YT guidelines and are not being kicked off, which basically counts for all business partnerships Entry - yes, anybody can release a video and get 10 views, but releasing a video that gets 100k+ views...

    Watch Me Build a Startup [12 Month Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    I have a semi-working business that I cover in the Insiders section. Besides that I work as a startup consultant at a Tech University which I cover pretty much in every video I make. Maybe I need to elaborate on that further... My editor creates 7 shorts and 2 videos a week (10-15 minutes)...

    Watch Me Build a Startup [12 Month Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    26/7/2023 Quick facts since the last update: released one short a day released 3 videos (10-15 min range) and fulfilled my goal of two videos a week with the help of my editor, I have built a small buffer, so I have videos waiting to be released. This is meant to serve as a backup for weeks...

    Watch Me Build a Startup [12 Month Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    Updates from last week: 1. I entered an accountability agreement starting on June 11th with a friend to release one daily short-form video on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This week I held up my end of this agreement, and we're keeping ourselves accountable through a WhatsApp Group. 2. As...

    What do you think about Hamza?

    Don’t fall victim to the Halo Effect. Psychologist Edward Thorndike first coined the term in 1920. He discovered that if someone appears competent in one area, we tend to see them as good in other areas too, creating a "halo" effect of overall positivity. This means that just because someone...

    Watch Me Build a Startup [12 Month Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    I'm reviving this thread to show everybody what failure looks like. But not any kind of failure. The worst kind of failure: Giving up! My original commitment was 12 months of building SaaS products. I gave up after the first month. Never shipping a product. Never even finishing my first...

    Any coaches worth it?

    GURUS 
    You might be looking for a consultant - not a coach. Both consultants help me with business decisions and actions, and coaches help me with mindset issues and mental strength. Looking back at my experience, coaching was mostly a waste of money and time. I personally prefer consulting where I...

    Problems with falling asleep.

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I used to self optimize every little parameter of my life (not saying sleep is a minor factor). It quickly became an obsession: How many hours of sleep did I get last night? How many steps have I walked today? Is my macros ratio good? Did I spend more than 20 minutes on social media today...

    I need advice on going to uni/college

    PEOPLE RANT 
    This whole thread and OPs question do not make any sense! University will not prepare you for entrepreneurship, no matter what you study. Trust me, I tried both. Quite the contrary, you will be exposed to more people who are subscribed to the scripted lifestyle. This thread is like asking a...

    EXECUTION 
    Today I did not do any dev stuff. I invested >7 hours intensely investigating the Fitness influencers market. Reached out to a friend of mine who’s an influencer to understand the market better and to step into personal contact with fitness influencers. Hope to start conversations with potential...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah, but it‘s not about what you think! It‘s about what works and what does not work! On a pure objective level, your long from interviews are not helping with growing your channel. If your goal is to grow your channel, you need a different strategy.

    Why would you not play this game?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Thank you all! This thread was never meant to motivate someone to take part in the game. I genuinely want to understand my personal biases. I had some really valuable insights through your help: Creating valuable business ideas only in your head is most likely NOT going to lead to great...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yes, the YouTuber I told you about, told me that nobody really cares about two random people chatting! If you can get Mr Beast, fine, this has its own value, because people are looking for Mr Best interviews or anything related to him. But definitely I would not waste my time recording, editing...

    How to start a €50K/m successful lead gen agency

    IDEA 
    No, I think your thread smells fishy! If your business is successful and the market is huge, as you stated, why don't you just scale yourself and reap the benefits of your business system? On the other hand, if for whatever reason you're unable to scale and you own a B2B lead-gen software, why...

    Why would you not play this game?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Forum, can you please help me understand this? Recently, forum member @MTF created the thread Let's Play A Game: Brainstorming Boring Business Ideas Sadly, only very few members would join in to play, which is something I was extremely surprised by. Originally, I thought the game looks like...
