    Selling a Game Through Steam - Commandment of Control?

    QUESTION 
    I recently published a game on Steam and it has been selling better than I anticipated. This has me thinking about the commandment of control; my initial thought is that selling via Steam is a violation of the commandment of control. However, Steam owns approximately 75% of the gaming market and...

    Scaling up niche handmade product side-hustle?

    QUESTION 
    I’ve found myself in a situation where there is some entrepreneurial opportunity, however I’ve stumbled across it by chance. I’m a big fan of the 1996 blockbuster ‘Twister’ and so I joined a few of the Facebook fan pages. The movie revolves around storm chasers attempting to get sensors into...

    The Script Is Strong - Check out this “advice” for escaping 9-5

    Wow, just wow. I’m all for freedom of speech but surely encouraging someone to commit suicide crosses some sort of line?

    Name as many prioritisation problems as you can!

    I’m just looking for some ideas for “prioritisation problems”: that is, problems where you have to prioritise a list of something, such as CVs to be reviewed or patients to be treated. Which can you think of? Thank you!

    How can I understand myself? (Motivation/Discipline)

    MINDSET 
    I’m trying to understand myself and how I can be better disciplined/motivated. The question I’m trying to answer is this: How come I can wake up one day, get straight out of bed, get ready, set myself tasks for the day, stay focused and achieve a lot, then on the very next day sleep in, get...

    Making the first £1

    EXECUTION 
    I thought I would bump this, a lot has happened since I posted almost two years ago, time flies! So shortly after that last post, I was asked if I could solve a particular problem involving PLC diagnostics. I actually thought I wouldn't be able to get very far, but I did what I could. I ended...

    GET TO COLLEGE! (Because I failed at business.)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I definitely agree. I was questioning whether my time at university was worth it. I'm studying Computer Science and my course was 4 years: 2 years of uni + 1 year industrial placement + final year (which I'm now in). I was annoyed that I learned more in my year in industry than the first two...

    Invisible Needles

    This has been on my mind for a bit and I just felt like I needed to post it and see what other people here think. Earlier this week I watched the beginning of a new TV series with my wife. I don't watch much TV but I decided to watch it anyway. My observation all the way through was that it was...

    Too many ideas while in the slowlane...

    IDEA MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I had a similar question to this a few months back. I was pursuing several ideas at once, and the consensus was that I should pick one idea and stick with it. I've changed what I've been working on a few times since then, but only ever working on one thing at a time. I've found that if you...

    Preparing myself for entrepreneurship (common problems, valuable skills, typical days etc)

    One thing that comes to mind is learning to handle failure. Be prepared to put in a lot of difficult daily hours, for months on end, and then find out what you've been working on doesn't provide as much value as you think. You'll be constantly questioning whether you need to pivot to another...

    Making the first £1

    EXECUTION 
    Added more features to the program, worked on it for ~8 hours. Demonstrated it and got an estimated valuation. I can't post numbers (I signed a profit sharing & confidentiality agreement today). I'm likely to exceed my goal of £1.
