    Help with Car Business

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Get real, you're a kid with no skills, no capital, no education. You can't just build a car company. Become an engineer, get a degree from the fanciest university possible, and start working in the industry. Grow your network, and work on side projects that prove your ability to, at some point...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    This is a classic. So, if the prison is nice, would you be happy to get a life sentence? No bills, free food, just renovated and nicely decorated. Sounds like a dream, right? "The cave times..." Yeah, people also lived in.. well caves. They also killed, raped, and stole from everyone who was...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    That's cool! When I went vegan, I was "deep" into my spiritual journey. That's where it began! My first problem was really just not getting enough calories in. I was basically eating vegetables and fruits as I hadn't figured out how to make balanced meals yet. Increasing caloric intake quickly...

    Anyone move to dubai to start a business or get a high paying job?

    MINDSET 
    I could give you a referral, but not sure if it's allowed. (I wouldn't get a commission). Admins? Is it okay to share a consultancy/recruitment agency that also specializes in helping professionals from abroad land high-paying jobs in the UAE? If not, just delete this comment.

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    Same here. I went vegan 10 years ago for ethical reasons. So, I didn't care that it might be difficult or uncomfortable. It is a lot more difficult and uncomfortable for animals, so I was willing to sacrifice myself. Initially, I lost weight and was pretty lost on what to eat (10 years ago it...

    Anyone move to dubai to start a business or get a high paying job?

    MINDSET 
    I agree. "some sort of business", "siphon off some of the profit", that doesn't sound like someone who would benefit from the network and legal setup Dubai has to offer. Start some sort of business where you are right, siphon off some profit of your own business, then see if moving to Dubai...

    From a €13k Agency Failure to a €15/Day Last Chance

    EXECUTION 
    This is why I don't want to go from a marketing freelancer to an agency owner. I've yet to see an agency consistently delivering results. I (not an expert in paid advertising) ran ads for a client. 1 month was a break-even, and the next was slightly profitable, the cycle repeated. I couldn't...

    Olive oil production in Spain. In need of advice before settling for the business.

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    SMMA is what every teenager wants to do; upselling is not even a business model. Your concept is good. I can totally imagine a brand like yours doing well in the US: "From the valleys of [insert Spanish village] to your doorstep, all organic olive oil, made using methods passed down from...

    Olive oil production in Spain. In need of advice before settling for the business.

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Just an idea, instead of committing to buying land, investing in equipment, etc., why don't you try building a Shopify online store, partner with local olive oil producers, and sell it? Sure, margins are lower as you now have a middleman, but you don't need land, equipment, or do any of the...

    A career to fall back on?

    QUESTION 
    Why do you want to launch only after a year? Step 1: Research what jewelry brands are crushing it and decide on your first product line. Step 2: Source/make products, or if you want to do a test run first, get images for products without actually having any physical products in stock. Step 3...

    What are some creative ways YOU would promote this campaign?

    SPEEDWAY 
    Create a stand in a public place and sell water for an outrageous price like $545 per bottle (all labels removed). When someone comes up to you and asks if you're crazy, tell the story about the group of people to whom water actually "costs" that much. Or make the price $10,000. "Too...

    How did you handle packaging and product branding without burning a fortune?

    QUESTION 
    Here are hundreds, if not thousands, of great ideas. What I would do, though, is find 5 of the currently trending jewelry brands and see what their packaging looks like, then make it your own. There are so many brands doing it well that you don't need to pay someone a fortune to come up with a...

    Critique my latest video ad

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Some will say it's good, some will say it's poorly edited, so just test it. Take whatever amount you're comfortable with and launch it. If it converts, cool. If not, you can measure its "worthiness" by Click Through Rate or at least Cost Per Click. Sometimes it's professionally done ads that...

    It's OVER. What do I do?

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Apologies, I'm tall, so biased from the start, but a few things: 1. The design is horrible; it's outdated by at least a decade. Any premium theme on Shopify would be great. The black background, generic font, and generic colors, just bad. 2. There's not much copy, but some wild pieces stand...

    Is minimalism a coping mechanism in response to stress?

    MINDSET 
    I'm sure there's a wide spectrum of minimalists, so speaking from personal experience. I've been deep into spirituality, which naturally made me a "minimalist" - most stuff is just stuff, it doesn't matter. While I'm "less spiritual" now, it's still true. A good way of knowing what you actually...
