    You haven't made $10k...

    CHAT 
    One of the most annoying things on this forum, I noticed, is the notion of revenue being referred to as 'I made', it reeks of lack of financial education, would infuriate any finance professional worth their salt and should be nipped in the bud as soon as possible, businesses will always have a...

    Scaling a window cleaning company

    EXECUTION 
    Revenue or profit- 10k profit per day from 8 trucks seems insane on 8 trucks with 15% profit margin, that would mean 67k total revenue and 8.3k revenue per truck per day, to me as a qualified accountant it doesn't add up and it's impossible your calc is correct and I guess you are counting...

    Starting a cosmetics brand [EXECUTION]

    EXECUTION 
    Good luck, looks like a Gold thread in the making, what resources did you use to educate yourself if you don't mind me asking. I had a similar revelation to yours yesterday looking for a hair product for my partner, ran the idea through grademybusinessidea.com and got a B so interested in...

    Heard today at work

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I really expected better - I got told in this thread to not question anything and read the books, bollocks to you, I read all the books and I agree with most of it, notably I thought the example of a doctor that was hired based on recommendations is particularly weak and a shortcut, most...

    Heard today at work

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Had an interesting conversation with my colleagues today about our future ambitions -one of them announced - it's much more lucrative/safer to climb the corporate ladder than to build a business nowadays as it's become too difficult, that opinion was pretty much widely accepted by everyone else...

    Have you succeeded on Udemy or as an online educator... If so what mistakes should we avoid if we're just starting out?

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    It does help as I will never put a course on Udemy now, I'm also in the UK and agree with how badly jobs pay over here compared to the US. Have you tried other marketplaces like Reed for your courses?

    The Proven Path to a Fastlane (Still Open for 2024)

    MARKETPLACE 
    I am in the UK but still solid, still within Finance but I am now a business partner, which is way more commercial than your typical accounting position.

    The Proven Path to a Fastlane (Still Open for 2024)

    MARKETPLACE 
    From myself whilst I didn't set up a web design gig, I've, however, applied lessons learnt from @Fox to my slowlane job interview to increase my income by £15k per annum (I made the interview about the employer's needs and value and stood out), the ROI is great (maybe there is another fastlane...

    Have you succeeded on Udemy or as an online educator... If so what mistakes should we avoid if we're just starting out?

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    Sounds like a solid lesson, thank you for accelarating my learning curve, might try something affording control, might put one course on Udemy as part of the marketing funnel a bit like what Andy suggested above.

    Have you succeeded on Udemy or as an online educator... If so what mistakes should we avoid if we're just starting out?

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    Why? Is it because it would violate control? Or is oversaturated with courses? I am asking as this is where I want to start, I will be preparing a course for the accountancy qualification which I've completed a few years ago, with my first course being a beginner level course, in fact I am about...

    An antinomy in MJ's thinking (Unscripted)

    BOOKS SLOWLANE QUESTION 
    Nobody is perfect, the depressing thing I thought of was that instead of trying to break the script, you are to build yourself a raft and paddle away using the fastlane approach, I think if I succeeded in the Fastlane I'd still be upset for other people stuck there but on the other hand you need...

    9 Dream-Killing Lies You Sell Yourself...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    For myself I'd add not believing any of this is possible/or in my future, it's just a hunch that I will not achieve/do anything meaningful with this and it's just a good old job and retirement at almost 70, my family are very much risk averse and I grew up with the same concepts, at least I...
