    Help. I need to focus.

    MINDSET 
    You may need some accountability, maybe a board where you write your project and the outcome you want (not skills, like Jobless explained). Maybe even someone who you talk to weekly and who asks you critically what you did to achieve your project outcome, like an "accountability partner".

    Greetings Guys

    INTRO 
    Don’t feel slapped - feel freed! You’re now free to think critically about your situation and empowered to start changing your life, piece by piece. Unplugging takes time. Processing everything you’ll read takes time, too. And that’s okay. Even if someone here were to say (or think) something...

    Introduction: Left Academia. Skipped Germany. Building My Way.

    INTRO 
    Thanks! Yes, lots of Russians and also many Ukrainians here. And sure, maybe there’s opportunity in the bureaucracy - for some. But from my point of view, it’s mostly artificial problems created to... exercise control and drain resources? Helping people navigate that might be a business, but...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Moved from Germany to Cyprus this January. Of course, there are some downsides — but overall, it’s been a huge improvement for me personally. The light alone makes a massive difference: longer, brighter days, warm evenings, and beautiful sunsets almost all year round. The weather is generally...

    Introduction: Left Academia. Skipped Germany. Building My Way.

    INTRO 
    Thanks! We’ve been here for about half a year now. In general, it’s nice - but there are a few pitfalls. Cypriot companies tend to overpromise, so if they say “three weeks,” you should probably hear “three months.” Things take a while, not because there’s so much paperwork, but because...

    Introduction: Left Academia. Skipped Germany. Building My Way.

    INTRO 
    Thanks MJ! Appreciate the warm welcome. Poland wasn’t really on my radar - mostly because I had this strong pull toward living by the sea. Maybe that part kind of decided it for me. Here’s the view out of my office: That said, Poland might actually be an option if we ever want to escape the...

    Introduction: Left Academia. Skipped Germany. Building My Way.

    INTRO 
    Thanks for your kind words! To answer your question honestly: If you want to be an entrepreneur and aren’t dependent on Germany’s infrastructure - run. Leave, as soon as it makes sense. Just this year, both the previous and the new government introduced several new laws - many with hidden...

    Read the book, was my introduction to a different way of thinking about self-employment!

    INTRO 
    Hi all, nice to meet you! I’m Martin, 36, and currently paving my way toward something that actually resembles freedom. It took me way too long to realize how much bullshit had been programmed into me — by parents, school, girlfriends, friends, universities, employers, and even the country I...
