Would I be able to build this mobile app learning to code by myself or would I need to hire a freelancer?

So I have an idea for a GPS crowd sourced app similar to Waze but I'm not a programmer. I've spent the past week learning the basics of python and at my current pace I'm not sure if this is the best way I could get this app made. I don't know how long this would take in terms of pure man hours for myself or a freelancer. Is there anyone here who could point me in the right direction? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

[Advice] Need advice on communicating with co-founder

I'm a first time founder, working on a SaaS startup as CTO/Algorithms along with my co-founder for the past 8 months. Prior to this startup, I've worked in corporate for the past 15 years in different roles. My co-founder is the CEO and taking care of fundraising, strategy and growth. We work well together and enjoy working with each other. But when we disagree, I feel like we diverge and disagree in a very unhealthy manner.In spite of coming up with a strategy and a plan of action together, my co-founder has a number of unconscious biases and assumptions that make him veer off and focus on tangential and sometimes seemingly trivial matters (like whether our website needs to have just google sign-in or both google and facebook sign-in). For the simple issues, I simply end up saying "ok. let's do it your way. I don't mind - we can test it later anyways". For more important matters like business model discussions, revenue streams, roadmap and strategy, it gets a bit harder. If the "veering off" and tangential thinking is not caught and immediately confronted, then over the weeks, his strategy and focus diverge massively from what we discussed and agreed upon. For example he began acquiring customers using a different revenue model than what we had previously discussed and building the product for.Initially I was fine for him to try different things from what we agreed on, conscious that during the early startup days, nothing is rigid. After a month or two, I realised that he doesn't veer off consciously - it's usually one or more hidden assumptions (which he doesn't communicate in initial discussions) that make him unknowingly index his thinking. Since then, I've tried to mitigate these issues by a) having crisp clear agendas while discussing important matters, b) keep things in writing so that it's not his word against mine when we revisit it later, c) giving him direct feedback using situation-behaviour-impact framework and hoping to get him to see how and when the divergence occurred and how it impacts me and my product build.Whenever a confrontation occurs, no matter how I preface it, any objective feedback is perceived by him as a personal attack. He gets defensive and responds in an aggressive manner. For example, when I gave feedback about how the customers he had acquired using a different revenue model has impacted our roadmap and my efforts, he barely acknowledged his part in the issue and simply lay it back on me saying "why didn't you tell me sooner? I've been working so hard on it - wish you had told me sooner". We're now introducing OKRs so that the focus is more on short-to-mid term outcomes rather than how we reach our objectives and goals. It's been slow progress but we're working out our northstar mission and high level OKRs amidst all the baggage.I feel I've been using more management best practices in my startup than when I used to work in corporate. I just want to ship stuff sooner and get to market so that we kickstart the PMF journey, without having to endlessly discuss and debate things. To be fair, my co-founder and I agree on most things and we enjoy working with and supporting each other. It's just when we disagree that I find things much harder compared to the other professional debates I’ve had in my career. I know that disagreement between co-founders is a big issue for startups, but is this kind of divergence and disagreement normal? I'm far from perfect myself - so how can we communicate better in order to work productively? Any tips and feedback welcome. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I want to put in the work to make something of myself but lacking direction and guidance.

At the beginning of this year I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and found a strong interest in Business, Entrepreneurship, and Investing. The main thing I felt from the book and subsequent research and consumption of alike material is this is what I feel my calling is. I want to make a difference in this world for the better, and I want to put in the effort to make that happen.Sorry gonna go into some not so business things so you get the picture. I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but I figured that this place has a lot of high achieving people who know a lot about the things I'm seeking. The problem is I'm a little bit late to the game of life, I had an emotionally/socially stunting childhood and I find I'm exhausting myself catching up(I am making leaps and bounds and I feel I'm finally getting ahead in some ways). But when it comes to a path to success in the business world I'm having a hard time finding people who can give me suggestions on where to focus my energy and motivation on. There's so many things and paths I'm kind of overwhelmed on where to start. I just want some direction, I want to be a kickass get shit done kind of person, but everyone around me wants to lounge around and take things slow and it doesn't make sense to me to ask the kind of people around me who play it safe with their lives and only care about being comfortable and know little about where I think I want to go.Any help would be appreciated. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Why are people so against partnerships?

I am starting a real estate investing business and have a partner helping me. When I mention that I have a partner, about a third of people immediately start questioning it and say it's a bad idea. The rest don't care or think it's great and understand you can't do it all alone. This is confusing since every guru in the field says you should never do it all alone. In my opinion it's greedy to keep all the profits to yourself when you can give up a little and get more done.​My partner fills roles that I cannot do, has contributed to our projects, and added value to my life. We've known each other for six months and have been at this for about four months. We haven't had a single argument. We've had disagreements, but we talk it through and are open to new ideas.​In this business, if someone underperforms they can be left out on future deals, but are entitled to profits from previous ones. The other members on the team will have to figure out how to pick up their slack. We have an understanding that we'll still have each other's backs in the future even if this happens. Have most of these people been burned in the past by a bad partner or is there something I'm missing? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

The Entrepreneur's Ultimate Struggle - A Dichotomy Between Effort and Emotion

ForewordBefore i get into the crux of this post, I think that it is important to give a brief background of my life to better understand the issue. I urge to read the entire thing, albeit long, for it may resonate with many of you, both young and old. My name is Corey (23M), and here is my story:BackgroundAs i'm sure much of you on here can relate, I have been a natural born 'hustler' ever since I can remember. From selling cards to fixing kids phones, I have always been that stereotypical person you hear about of that person you know who never stops working. Before going to college, I was recruited to play sports and it was my dream to play professionally. I was humbled very quickly at the realization that this fantasy was not attainable due to my relative athletic amateurism comparative to other division 1 athletes; it broke me to find another passion I could focus my time on. I started a company in college in the beginning of my sophomore year developing advanced autonomous robots for crop ailment detection. I raised $120,000, got encorporated, filed patents, met CEO's of fortune 500 companies.... and yet still failed. The faults i faced didn't lie in my inability to accomplish what I needed to, but more so in my naivete when it came to knowing exactly WHAT to do at the right time. I spent 3 years of my life in college, sacrificing my social life in arguably one of the greatest periods of life to experience such a thing, all in pursuit of the grander picture. I just graduated, with an entirely new reinvigorated sense of what startup culture means since i know first hand what it is like to fail, and am excited for the future. NOW HERE IS THE ISSUE:ProblemI have the incredible gift of being able to sacrifice my social life for the pursuit of something greater for myself. The thought of working 80 hours a week on something I am in charge of, with the capacity of improving people's lives, brings me a great deal of self-worth. Something I have been struggling to grapple with lately though, is that this curse that I have prevents me from being able to both meet people, let alone have relationships with them. It has started to dawn on me for the first time ever in my life, "Am i selfishly jeopardizing my chances of meeting someone for the pursuit of my own goals?" The answer is: i simply dont know. I dont know if what I am doing is right. I dont know if this parasitic attraction to entrepreneurialism plagues my chances of ever being able to have anyone to share all of this with. Worse yet, what if i do end up to go on to have a successful exit, or happy ending of some sort, and all of the people that i attract are ones who dont want me for me?ResolutionThese questions are really only answered with time I understand, but I would like to hear of some of your stories that maybe can draw a similar parallel to mine. Did anyone take the risk after college to work on something endlessly and as a result watch the other parts of life go by during your 20's? This problem that I face I believe is mainly perpetuated by social media; watching all my lifelong friends seem to have the perfect lives and the perfect jobs with the perfect girlfriends - it's abhorrent, which is why I deleted it all. The thought, nonetheless, still lingers. I would like to hear what yall have to say about your stories, and how, if any, it worked out in the end and what pieces of advice you could give to a seemingly lost entrepreneur such as myself. Thx see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Going directly at a billion dollar competitor

Has anyone marketed by going directly at the biggest players in their space?We are a local/ regional company. I want to name the two largest companies in our space by name in an upcoming marketing campaign. I want to speak directly to their users and why they should leave and come to us.We are a rounding error for these companies. I know we won't get on their radar nationally but they do have a local office. I am a little hesitant to call them out directly in our marketing so that they don't start targeting our accounts even harder.I have seen someone in our space do it well once before but they were larger than we are and had more sales reps on the streets.Any feedback or ideas are appreciated! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Seeking advice to realize my realistic risks and opportunities. I have about 60k saved up, I am all debt free, and my current engineering contract job is very flexible while providing me about 100k a year, but I’m not fulfilling my entrepreneurial goals?

I feel like taking the leap for Entrepreneurship was a lot easier, before I was making a “good” income and have a semi-comfortable life with my career. The golden handcuff is real (more like a fake bronze not gold). So I’m 31 years old with 2 engineering degrees, currently my only real expense is my rent, which I am hoping to turn into a mortgage so I can get some sort of equity for the price I’m paying and I’m all debt free.Fortunately or unfortunately I was able to get in to contract engineering roles with good pay and flexibility a few years ago but now taking risks are a lot harder for me. I feel like 10 years ago I was so motivated and ready for this moment in my life to take the leap and start something new and go for the next step, but now the reality is taking that risk is a lot harder than what it seems.I was wondering if anyone here, shared similar experience or was able to take the leap without the desperation, and resist the urge of semi comfortable life and hustle of climbing corporate career life? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Looking for Advice

I’m looking for any insightful advice as to what anybody else would do if they were in my position. Here is some backstory first I am 21 years old about to start my senior year in college. Thus I will be graduating next May. My bachelor’s will be in journalism, and I have an associate’s in communication. I got into college and these majors wanting to become something along the lines of a sports analyst, a reporter, news anchor, etc. Then my junior year came and my passion for what I thought I loved died out. I just could not see myself doing all that as a career, and rather than changing my major I am now more focused in related areas such as advertising, marketing, and sales. I plan completing my degree and hopefully obtaining a job in one of the fields I just mentioned.However, the reason I want to get a job in one of those areas though is to not build a career. I don’t have aspirations to be a best advertiser, or great person great at marketing, or the best salesman out there. I want to just simply continue saving money to be able to go into a venture of my own (and to apply for loans and such to make said ventures easier to get into you need to have steady income).When I say I want to go into a venture if my own I literally mean anything. I do not believe I have found anything I extremely excel at, nor anything I am extremely passionate about. I have likes and hobbies though like everyone else. In today’s world there are so many business opportunities just waiting on me and everybody else to be a part of.Some ideas I’ve had are trying to open a business (possibly a gym maybe a cannabis dispensary), flipping cars, investing in a rental home(s), maybe some sort of E-Commerce deal (or something along those lines), and even possibly trying to flip houses. The problem with this is the amount of capital it takes to start. Which is why i mentioned loans earlier. At this moment I have about 25k in my life savings with about 15k that would be available at this very moment to dive into something. (Back to the loan thing I haven’t had a job in 6 months though I am actively looking)Like I said earlier I have full intent on completing my degree with this being my final year. I guess the advice I am looking for is should I be looking at jobs to start a career to save up like I mentioned upon graduating, or should I start possibly looking into some of the ventures I have mentioned and making it a reality, or both?I apologize about any grammar mistakes, and wandering thoughts. I wrote this on the fly. Thank you for your time! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Am I being unreasonable? I'm tired of working for employers who won't allow side business or won't negotiate contracts, and want to give my employer an ultimatum.

Software dev, who can build pretty much anything. AI in the cloud? Done. Databases and front end, no problem. Excel macros, second nature, hard core phd level AI research, or an App no worries. Been there done it.After a short break, where I laid the foundations of a new side bussiness, I decided to taken on a job. Didn't need the money. Could afford to take the next 10 years off.None of this is a humble brag, just setting the context and really looking for advice.When joining the aforementioned company I made it clear to the employer that I would need amendments made to my contract.I made it clear that things like;We own all IP related to your course of employment, e.g software and AI would need taming.Your skills are to be used exclusively to the benefit of your employer.Having to ask permission to run a side bussiness, and having to declare what it earns, to my boss.would need to be amended. I submitted, in good faith, a high level list of IP. My bosses, and even my bosses, boess, boss is supportive. However the company (legal/HR) just keep sending me in circles.I've only been with the company a short while, but have already single handedly built an entirely new system that has benefited every single department. I'm having directors from all over the company reach out and thank me for this revolitionary new peice of software. People across the company are estatic with my ability to get shit done.The problem is I feel trapped in life. I'm beyond sick of not being in control of my own density. To steal captain America's line: "I'm way past asking for permission". Am I crazy for giving this employer an ultimatum? Setting a hard date, for which the contractual issues must be fixed, and leaving if they are not?I've looked at going contract, but most companies seem to want contractors that are really employees. E.g. they control your schedule. Must be on site 9-5, and have your own insurance, but we pay barely more than our standard employee rates and we don't pay your holidays. As i said, I don't really need the money. Just didn't want a massive CV gap if business doesn't work out. Maybe that's not as big a deal as I think it is. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Investor/relative wants my 2-man start up to work exclusively on their requests, as well as puts contingencies on how we spend the money. Threatens to take away all investments if we advertise. Abusive sugar-investor. Help?

We are still fresh out the gate. We initially were very tight for money and my partner’s dad said he would give us $50k to do work for him.Every day it seems there’s another request, another ambiguous deadline, as well as super unrealistic expectations.Now, I started a business because I wanted to be in charge of what I was generally doing, but I realize now that that comes with the reality that the people who give you money really dictate what you’re doing.I’ve been a hardass with him. Straight up telling him that no, we cannot do that in the time you expect. No, we do not have that technology. No, that’s not how this/that/and that works. Stop talking to me that way. Please do not call me over and over again throughout the day. Etc.The guy is first class idiot. And since he is unable to leave his house, he loves to throw money at us to watch us dance for the golden carrot.We have one service that we initially provided because every once in a while it would make us a good few extra bucks, but the investor has taken that service and made the business revolve around it. It takes about a week to get one of those services done. He wants us to do it 28 times. Literally.Meanwhile we’re trying to get a marketer, but the investor says he’ll take away the money if he sees us marketing before we are done with his shit.If we drop him, we are essentially broke. AND have an estranged relationship.We want nothing more than to be done with this, and we don’t have the time to expedite or optimize our process because it’s all spent coddling this fucking investor all day and responding to his questions.He won’t do anything in writing. Wont even agree to verbal clarifications of expectations. He’s a fucking child.We can’t afford to get rid of him as he’s a huge lifeline. As much as I would pay HIM to never speak to us again.How do I navigate this? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I need advice- my business partner moved out of state but refuses to resign her stake in the company

i’ll try to keep this short and simple.i started a company (LLC) with my friend a year ago. we have had several issues arise because of her lack of involvement in the company, i tried to get her to sign over the company but she refused, this was early in the business.Fast forward to now, she decided to move out of state, has not been involved for 3 months, and still refuses to sign over the company.She is in breach of her contract, i have everything in order on my end with proof of her negligence. I think she refuses to sign because she just doesn’t want me to have full ownership.I created the brand, the website, run the instagram, manage the finances, manage the clients and she does absolutely nothing.Lesson learned.

Can you suggest to me some tips get payment from the client without getting scammed?

Let's start with a basic description. I am 18 and got into LinkedIn around 3 weeks ago. I actually got a shoutout from someone with over 500 connections, so I got some connections and profile views. The guy uploaded a GIF made by me along with the post so it got a lot of views and likes. Among them, I was contacted by a company and they wanted me to make a short creative video. It sounded like a good offer as the starting point of my career. The next day I had a meeting and then they hired me to make a video for $400. The video was supposed to be like 20 seconds long but they told me that any length is fine so I made a 59-sec video. The video was ready, 3 days after the meeting. But then I did something that I shouldn't have. I uploaded the video on google drive and then sent the link to the guy to check if anything needs to be changed. He complimented me a lot and told me that he will review it with his team over the weekend and give me feedback. But now everyone in my family is saying that I shouldn't have sent him the actual video before getting paid or should have sent him a watermark version. Even though they responded back and haven't done anything like blocking and stuff, I also think that what I did was pretty stupid. Its my first project in my life and I haven't been scammed before so I didn't have any experience. What do professionals do about asking for money or sending the product for review? How do you do that? What seems professional? I don't want to get scammed but at the same time don't want to be rude and lose the clients.Thanks, and please let me know!!!!!! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

How do you find out who manufacturers a product?

Honestly this is a super random question but I thought maybe it was worth a shot.Long story short- I’m starting a men’s skincare company. I need bottles to hold the face wash in.I ordered some that looked good from a supplier but they ended up being TRASH quality. Like it felt cheap in your hand. Not exactly the impression you want to make when building a brand lolI look everywhere on Google and it’s the same stuff. Ironically most US suppliers are just using the same stuff from Alibaba (maybe just reselling it)If you look at my most recent post on Reddit, that’s an example of a bottle I like. You can google “Rugged & Dapper Face Wash” as well, I’m in love with those bottles.Any recommendations on my search for higher quality bottles? Honestly I’m just gonna Google “Plastic bottle suppliers” and call every single number that comes up. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I am doing some due diligence on a company that I think will add value to my current company I own.The current website is a marketplace, but they are not currently for sale however, I want to send an email to the owners offering to purchase the business from them. I’ve always been told that the best businesses to purchase (pound for pound) are the ones that aren’t for sale.Has anyone had prior experience with this approach? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Thinking of starting my independent consultancy, How should I get started?

Hello Everyone,I was furloughed from my Travel job in the 4th quarter of 2020 and things are not exactly looking peachy for that industry. I would like to start my independent consultancy. I have started a company from the ground up, which had a revenue of $6 million in 2007-2008 and we had 9 employees, so I can help other business owners improve their Travel Business. How should I get started? Are there any inexpensive courses I can take? Thanks in advance. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I just launched a support services webapp, but am struggling to find paying customers. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

I just launched a support services webapp for Creatives in the Media & Entertainment industry (i.e. VFX, Filmmaking, Post-Production, Game Design, Animation, etc.).It's a question/answer platform where Subscribers pay a monthly fee to gain access to vetted professionals who they can chat with, ask questions to, and get software support from. The Pros then get paid for each question they answer.The development/launch of this MVP was the fun part. I'm finding now that the "marketing" part is extremely difficult and, honestly, quite discouraging.Here are some questions I have:How do you market something with a limited budget?Where/How do you find the right (paying) customers?I've toyed with Reddit ads, Google ads, and Facebook ads. But no success...Any advice, tips, or suggested avenues would be extremely helpful and highly appreciated.Here's the site: AskaproThanks in advance! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

If a perspective partner acuses you of not trusting them, acting in bad faith, or other nonsense, when asking them to sign an NDA or put something in writing... walk away, no run away! They were going to screw you. NDA's and contracts are a standard thing. Period.

I have heard this so many times. "I didn't want to push the issue and have the partner back out." No, you are looking at it wrong. Putting something in writing or signing an NDA should NOT feel like a confrontational experience, it is the exact opposite of that. It means you have thoroughly discussed what needs to happen, everyone is on board and excited to move forward. It should feel like you are ready to pop the cork on a champagne bottle!! You sir, have made a deal, and everyone is getting something out of it. There should be no friction left. If it doesn't feel like this, you either need to further vet their concerns and hesitations and address them, or they simply plan to screw you over. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

I want to hire a factory to produce my design...where do I start?

I tried to post this in r/sewing but just got downvoted. Where do I find stitching companies that will sign an NDA and work with me on producing a bulk order of a design that I submit? How should the design be formatted? How much should I expect to pay?I made a gear bag that a lot of people are asking me for, but I've only been able to make a handful in my spare time. Now that things are picking back up for my industry (event production), I may not have time to make any more at all. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Subscription based business models - thoughts/ideas

Hi all, after my first real success with my own company blew up spectacularly late 2020 I've had to go back to working for somebody else (facepalm). second day working in fintech and already have seen some really creative and niche businesses applying for subscription payment billing.am interested to hear your thoughts on subscription offerings and businesses, pros/cons of using it and anything else you might want to share as I now can't stop thinking about subscription based ideas!I was considering offering a members only section to our overwhelmingly loyal customer base before things went south with my business last year and I think it's a really interesting space for new and old businesses to generate another stream of steady income I just don't think I fully understand how it would impact how you run the thing versus a traditional retail business...any thoughts, comments, ideas welcome! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

The biggest problem entrepreneurs face is being in the dark about their finances. I made a simple website that helps you calculate your profit, tax and expenses. Here's the Profit First Calculator.

I had no fucking clue what I was doing. I was setting aside some cash for tax but I didn't know if I could pay the bill when it came round.I was barely paying myself, which is not a healthy sign your business is operating properly.I didn't know how much profit I was making.Then I read the Profit First book and fell in love. The general concept is that you create a bunch of different bank accounts. You split your revenue by percentage, so that from day one - you can be profitable (even if that means you are only 1% profitable).After using this accounting method to have a clear, visible view of my business’ finances, I got tired of googling for websites that calculated the split for you. They tended to be from accounting firms and the design was dog shit. So I made my own, and stripped out all the bullshit and made it mobile friendly.Maybe it will help someone, so I thought I'd share. Check it out: https://ift.tt/3j5GJMg (I am not and will never monetize this, I've literally made it for myself.) see hubwealthy.com/wealthy

Try Pretotyping (not a typo) from Google to validate your ideas

If you haven't heard of pretotyping, it was created at Google to quickly and cheaply test ideas before building out any tech or creating the product. I've spent so much time and money working on ideas that nobody wanted and found Pretotyping to help me fall out of love with the ideas by quickly testing with customers before investing too soon.We've run over 1000 pretotypes, so there are lots of practical examples of stopping bad ideas early or getting customer data to validate the idea.Here's a talk at Stanford University by the creator of Pretotyping, Alberto Savoia if you're interested in learning more.There's also a Slack channel where we discuss pretotyping and experimentation. Alberto pops in and we have some ex-googlers (Google Glass) with lots of discussion around idea validation and how to figure out how to practically test your ideas. You're welcome to join us if it helps. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
