    I suck at execution. How do i improve?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION 
    I'm not looking for idea validation or steps to find more motivation. I'm as motivated as i can be, but that runs out. Desire, motivation, reason; these things run out. I'm 100% certain of my idea while knowing that statistically it's highly unlikely that it will succeed. It's also the type of...

    I suck at execution. How do i improve?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION 
    Like i mentioned in my post, I talked to potential customers BEFORE i built anything. On top of that 3 of my direct family members would have been potential customers in the past so i have some market validation. i know exactly who i'm building for. Sorry but i still don't see how that relates...

    I suck at execution. How do i improve?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION 
    no. It's a chatGPT wrapper with extra features, which means i don't have anything to sell which is not available to others for free until the development of the actual app is complete. My main differentiator will be distribution. I'm assuming you're implying that one sale or some real money...

    I suck at execution. How do i improve?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION 
    I could do more, that's all. MJ and many other people worked 8-12 hrs per day. I have all that time and more. I have made a lot of progress but not as much as i thought i would. That's also a useful thought, "I did not come this far to get this far".

    Thanks, this is a useful way to think, I'll try it.

    I suck at execution. How do i improve?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION 
    because i chose a harder way to develop that will (hopefully) pay off in the long term and even opened a new fastlane for me and all the reasons i mentioned in my post. Firebase is fine for a MVP, if you just wanna build something to validate your idea but it's more expensive than its...

    I suck at execution. How do i improve?

    PEOPLE EXECUTION 
    I've been working on a product (a mobile app) for the past 8 months. First 2 of those months were spent in the wrong direction (overpriced tech stack for my particular product; firebase) then the last 6 have been both coding and setting up the backend. I've only built half of the app (only the...

    Should i start with sole proprietorship?

    QUESTION TAXES | REGS 
    I calculated the CAC for customers and that included the free trials. I need the conversion rate to be more than about 2% for the app to be profitable.

    Should i start with sole proprietorship?

    QUESTION TAXES | REGS 
    Yep! Realised a day later that i need to meet a CA regarding this. I’m meeting one the day after tomorrow. Your advice about having a good CA and lawyer is ingrained in me because of MF book! Thanks for the book! I’ve bought like 6-7 copies of it for friends and family lol

    Should i start with sole proprietorship?

    QUESTION TAXES | REGS 
    I'm developing an app, and I need a business to accept payments and everything business related. There are 21 different types of businesses in India, and i can't quite figure out how to choose. The only way to lose money would be from the free trials i will be providing, and all of that will go...

    Employer before emoloyee?

    SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    I know this response is a bit late but i had some personal issues. I've thought more about the decision to either get the job or hire interns. I've also been re-reading tMF. With the book and your post i realised i am going in the right direction but for wrong reasons. I'm looking at it as an...

    Employer before emoloyee?

    SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    I don't need more than one person no, but it would help a ton, and speed up the progress by a multiple. I'm not considering hiring an entire team, just 1-2 people. Possibly my batchmates. Like i said in a previous post, i have some capital that was reserved for a motorcycle. More context: I'm...

    Employer before emoloyee?

    SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    I understand what you mean. I think both are potent options for learning, and i guess i really can't figure out which is better without actually trying. Do you mean get a job at a different company? I don't see how I'd be able to manage those two things at the same time. For more clarity, I'm...

    Employer before emoloyee?

    SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    Really? I thought the same way, but at the same time i feel wholly unprepared (and frankly quite terrified) to hire people, give them tasks, and in general launch a company. Because i have 0 experience with any job. For more context I'm 21 and in last second semester of college. In last semester...

    Employer before emoloyee?

    SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    I'm working on a tech startup and will launch a company soon. Is there any education i would miss from being an employer before being an employee? My current options for education relating to managing people: Learn directly from a company owner, who is a family friend. Ask him ton of questions...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read the book last year. Love the name and cover of the book. It almost forces you to defend it aggressively when you mention it as one of your fav books. This book connected so many dots in my head that were always just floating around. Questions like, "That successful person's life seems fun...

    Can I figure out how many hours fastlane might take?

    IDEA MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Thanks for your input, i will definitely consider thinking in terms of "things learned" that directly serve the product/service and abandon the time metric.

    Can I figure out how many hours fastlane might take?

    IDEA MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I see, i guess my mindset shift from slowlane to fastlane is not as clean as i thought it was. Thanks for your input. I understand that the only causal relationship i can count on is creating a money tree and get fruits from there, but I guess i'm just insecure about working less than 10+ hrs...

    Can I figure out how many hours fastlane might take?

    IDEA MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Thanks for your input! I agree, I actually talked to potential customers about it and calculated possible revenue and profit of the app. I had a slow hunch about going about this all wrong in terms of time, thanks!
