    What are you missing to achieving these goals and dreams of yours today?

    MINDSET 
    Some great questions to ask oneself. I agree clarity is key to remove the last excuses. So, you are saying we can't control how we spend time, just estimate? Interesting, how can we become better at this? Is it just about practice? About your writing: 1. Chaotic. You are highlighting too...

    Let's Talk Gross Margin... High Margin/Low Volume vs Low Margin/High Volume

    IDEA SCALING EXECUTION 
    You need to calculate all costs (fixed and variable), also the estimated risk involved, the time value of money invested, and alternative costs. That's how I think about this. If you invest 100K to make 120K back in 3 months, with a risk of total loss at 5%, with time value of money 10%...

    Looking for Directions and New road

    FEEDBACK 
    Register on Upwork, Fiverr and whatever other platforms there are. For ideas on service to offer, look what jobs are sought after on these platforms (what clients are requesting explicitly), and in location+industry specific forums/groups. Set up paypal, crypto wallet, bank account etc. so you...

    Idea feedback/validating it from market

    IDEA 
    Consider that the person with light allergy usually has to adapt, but the customer with a conviction (vegan, halal or kosher) will usually find what they are looking for. So, the allergy in question needs to be severe. Read this article: The Most Intolerant Wins: The Dictatorship of the Small...

    Youtube Script writing - how words work | need help

    IDEA 
    Read this: GOLD! - MARKETING - A Marketing Must: How to Get More Eyeballs to Buy Your Stuff... Consider how often popular media will use such open loops in their narration/story. Always in the opening sequence and then repeatedly. It's how they keep the viewer's attention, which is very fickle.

    Is joining a university worth it?

    INTRO 
    I dropped out of university twice, and during both times I was already making some money. Been making my own money since 14 yo. I also had enough savings so I did not really need an income. Was it wise? Not really. Did I ask anyone else if I should drop out? No. Did it turn out well despite...

    An intro after 2 years of being here

    INTRO 
    Yes, what I meant about not selling a software solution is that you can also use such a solution in your own business, to help you deliver a non-code solution. Instead of selling SaaS or custom software that helps run machines in a factory, you create your own factory, where your software...

    Feedback on virtuel wedding planner?

    IDEA 
    One key with this business is probably to avoid nightmare clients. How detect them early and avoid them before they eat too much of the planner's time and sanity. Maybe that's the planner's problem though? You don't make clear if you're the one selling planning or if you just sell leads to the...

    Happy to be here again

    INTRO 
    As you will develop custom solutions, will that lock clients in for the long-term? Because of sunk cost fallacy, or just because switching (off-boarding) will be hard? Or will you write long-term contracts from the get-go? Or do you plan to do one-time fixed cost projects? I ask this because AI...

    How do I Find my First 10 Clients as a Student with a Small Social Circle?

    QUESTION 
    Unfortunately, they are not your clients then, but Fiverr's. Think about how you can create influence long-term with a group of people who have needs and money to spend. Students are not great for this, but Cambridge students could be different. Think for example, about what type of companies...

    Hiring people to create a product

    IDEA 
    Your budget is what? And the cost is? If the budget is low when hiring, do you think this will attract quality talent? Yes, it's not wise to do something where you risk almost everything for an unknown outcome. Figure out if there is a need first, try to get a pre-order, etc. In general, if...

    How do I Find my First 10 Clients as a Student with a Small Social Circle?

    QUESTION 
    Since you already have 50 clients, some of them may want the course (they trust you), secondly, they may know people in their circle who may want it (they can vouch for you). Ask them.

    An intro after 2 years of being here

    INTRO 
    Don't develop any software unless you understand the problem it solves. The solution does not need to be elegant but you must be an expert at understanding the problem. Why does the need exist? What difficulties have others encountered, preventing them from a good solution? How many attempts...

    Ecommerce business questions

    QUESTION 
    Don't think of e-commerce as a 'business type'. E-commerce is a sales channel. "E-com website" -> It's possible to do e-commerce without a website. It's also possible to do e-commerce without paid advertising, without stock, without a brand, without suppliers, or without shipping anything. "A...
