Hi Fastlaners,
I have joined the forum for some time but rarely post. I was your typical wantreprenuer, money-chaser, jumping from one idea to another, making small money here and there but never scale to a “life-changing” level.
I recently re-read TMF and some of the golden posts here. I really want to start building a business that truly solves needs and offers value to a market.
However, I’m kinda stuck in thinking what business to build. I come up with different ideas but feel that each has its problems... or am I just making up excuse from overcoming challenges?
Here are my ideas:
A little bit more background:
Really appreciate your feedback!

However, I’m kinda stuck in thinking what business to build. I come up with different ideas but feel that each has its problems... or am I just making up excuse from overcoming challenges?
Here are my ideas:
- A SaaS product for salespeople - I am a tech salesperson myself so I know there is a need for this product. But I don’t know how to code. I have a full time job and I don’t intend to quit before I start making some money from my business. That means I cannot just setup a company and hire a full-time CTO/developer. I also think working with some part-time/freelance developer won’t work. Stuck.
- Online fitness coach platform - this is my personal need. I start working out but can’t afford a 1-to-1 fitness coach. I think it’ll be great if a professional coach can create a dedicated plan for me, check-in with me regularly and give me guidance on my fitness progress. It turns out some individual gym is already providing that service. I don’t know if I can do better than those companies because I’m not even a successful bodybuilder myself. How can I build a product in something that I haven’t even succeeded in? Stuck.
- Whiteboard video creation service - seems straightforward and there should be a need. But this model is not scalable. I’m just trading time for my money. Seems to contradict the commandment of Scale. Stuck.
A little bit more background:
- I do have a small lead generation business that is making 1-3k a month but again it is not scalable. My ads is already at the top of Google and getting most impressions and clicks. The search volume of my keywords is limited.
- I have had small success in doing web design (thanks Fox) but again I feel that’s not scalable. Other web design agencies are creating websites with much higher quality with much less cost. It’s also trading my time with money, which contradict the equation of wealth
Really appreciate your feedback!
