    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Great discussion here. From what I've read here and seen from people around me: - mainly ambitious people / entrepreneurs think about having kids in such a rational way, for many other people it's just an emotional decision. - even though it's hard, once people have kids, they don't regret it...

    Thoughts on parallel entrepreneurship?

    One could argue that there is a switching cost when moving your attention from business A to business B. I would also think that downtime/thinking time that could be used for thinking about your business would result in less thinking for each business if you have to think about 2 businesses.

    Thoughts on parallel entrepreneurship?

    I agree with what you're saying. Though 'the one thing' could be spread over multiple ventures. Eg. you might be very good in the startup phase or marketing, and do that one thing in multiple businesses, right?

    Thoughts on parallel entrepreneurship?

    The way I see it, there are 2 schools of thought regarding parallel entrepreneurship: 1) Don't do it. Focus. Most business advice I hear tells you to focus on one thing only. Business is hard enough without spreading yourself thin, laser focus on one thing only. 2) Diversify. Working on one...

    From 0 To $240,000 Per Year PROFIT In 18 Months (Acquisition Entrepreneurship)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Thank you for this post! It has inspired me to look into buying businesses again, something I've always been interested in and have not in the past once (unsuccessfully to be honest). I was lucky to run into a good deal quickly and I'll be closing on a very small but profitable deal that I'll...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    I have 2 SaaS products I'm not working on anymore, 1 has a little MRR, the other one none because we ran out of money after spending 1.5y trying to build the product that appeared to be very complex to build. I want to sell those SaaS products on Flippa, but I'm concerned I'd receive low offers...

    IT consulting long term potential

    Hi LEF, I quit my job with a big 4 consultancy firm to start as a freelance IT consultant in Europe. I just rounded up my first year and did around 110k in consulting turnover, with about 3 months of traveling/holiday. On the side I also ran an ecommerce store which did another 40k. So, quite a...

    Hello from Bali ;)

    INTRO 
    Wow. So you don't pay personal income tax. How much taxes (%) do you pay with your company? Cheers

    Hello from Bali ;)

    INTRO 
    Does that mean that you are not taxed anywhere for personal income taxes?

    Hello from Bali ;)

    INTRO 
    But where is your official domicile then? You must be registered somewhere, right?

    Hello from Bali ;)

    INTRO 
    Thanks for your reply. So, I understand you have your business in Delaware but are still personally registered in France? Isn't that defeating a bit your purpose of moving the business abroad? Now your business is taxed low but your personal income still is?

    Hello from Bali ;)

    INTRO 
    Cool. It's Canggu I visited, I even went inside the coworking space. I like that it even has a pool. What kind of entrepreneurs are there? What type of businesses do they run? Did you move both your business and your personal residence to Delaware?

    Hello from Bali ;)

    INTRO 
    Hi Lesly, I was in Bali for a month in November and visited a friend of mine who is a digital nomad currently living there, so I got to see a little bit of the digital nomad lifestyle there as well. I actually didn't experience the internet outside of coworking spaces as being that bad by the...
