What is your idea that you always had but could not build it for time or money reason?

It’s often said ideas are dime a dozen, but it’s execution that matters.

Share your idea if you are willing to contribute.

I am always fascinated by how some people have a great charm. I am not talking about Steve Jobs type but people from everyday walk of life.

I am interested in developing an executive like charming personality. I noticed that all these VPs, CEO carry themselves with certain tact. While faking it till making it can go only so far, what are ways to genuinely develop a charming personalities? Thinking from first principles point of view, are there any trainings, videos, lectures I can watch to develop the charm? Please share if you know any.

Curious to learn from people who grew started with nothing and grew their company to 50k ARR or more? Specially how did you get up from the ground? How long 50k, 100k, ...... milestone took?

What is your guidance to grow from nothing to first 100k?

Are you an impulse buyer? I have very hard time choosing what to buy. Besides, I feel like I have most of the things a man should have.

Is there a way or method you use to decide how to buy gifts?

I am trying to see whether to establish a store on Shopify? Has anyone here done it? What's involved and what are pros and cons?

Besides, I also want to see where can I find information about merchants themselves. All site owners mostly have customer care numbers. Are there any databases or paid services who display this information? I am asking for customer research point of view.

I am founder of a bootstrapped startup and don’t necessarily have big network advantages that others have. I am making use of my network. To validate an idea, I created and emailed a lot of people. However, most people don’t respond back. Reddit and other forums ban surveys flat out.

So the question is, besides paid marketing and spending big, how to get traction and initial interest in my product?

What are channels and resources that can help validate the idea before I build it spending 3-4 months?

Cheers.

It looks like there is SaaS for everything you can think of AND something that other consumers or business would pay for. Time management, project management, education courses, ads, no-code dev. You name it and you will find it.

I am good at execution and getting things done. But, I am not sure what to build or where to invest time and money such that it pays off in 6-12 months. I have been involved in backend work and have good knowledge of "how to use" cloud like AWS.

It is said that you scratch your own itch. But, I don't know if that will pay or not to create successful business.
