    If I can't start a successful business, should I just buy one?

    NOTABLE! 
    Here's another perspective: If you look at successful entrepreneurs, it doesn't matter whether they buy a business (successful or failing) or start one. They always make money at the end of things. Two examples I know off the top of my head: Correct me if I'm wrong on this one: MJ sold off his...

    Certified LOSER living on mum's couch!! Gaming Addict looking to turn things around!

    INTRO 
    Welcome and I'm looking forward to what you've got in store for us! While I empathize with you (did absolutely zero with my life for a year and a half while grinding Dota 24/7 and invading people in Dark Souls), I'm on the other side of the fence of the forum consensus, in a way. I game fairly...

    How to counter negativity from immediate family members(Script)?

    HOT! 
    I'd encourage you not to do something you've decided you don't want to do. Had a similar issue myself (family complaining, negative responses, etc), but ultimately resisted and started generating some positive outcomes for them (got my mother a meeting with the CEO of a massive chain store in my...

    Developing Relationships With Top Players - Master Thread

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    In my experience attending general business events/seminars can make it a lot easier for you to get access to elite entrepreneurs but your mileage may vary (as in, some events are going to have people just starting out or people just seeing if running a business is something they'd be interested...

    Ready for the long, dry road ahead- Self-made Financial/Accounting Program

    EXECUTION 
    So as per this thread I've got an idea for an app. Development has been slow though consistent, but I have been thinking about scaling lately. It feels to me that if I just throw this on the Google Play store at $5 I'm going to be missing out on a lot of money. If I turned this into SaaS and...

    An app that gives you a user's Instagram replies

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I was busy looking at brand interaction on the weekend, and ended up making something that can fetch all the replies someone makes on their own photos on Instagram. It lacks functionality currently, but I wondered if I could sell it. It doesn't break ToS as far as I know (I did read them). I...

    Ready for the long, dry road ahead- Self-made Financial/Accounting Program

    EXECUTION 
    After these past few months, I think I'm going to shelf this plan. The biggest problem I had with the website redesign and my own program was no response/a lack of response, or someone is really interested at first and then they lose it. Once their interest is gone it feels pointless to try...

    Ready for the long, dry road ahead- Self-made Financial/Accounting Program

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the feedback everyone- put everything into action apart from the cold calls (was it a good idea to email now then wait to call later?). So far, I've sent 6 emails to different sites (3 long and slightly messy emails typed on my own, 3 based on the basic skeleton given here by @JAJT...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Really sorry if this has already been asked- I couldn't find anything: does the HTML structure of a page affect its Google ranking? What I mean by that is, if I stick to best HTML practices (e.g. using the new nav/section/footer tags etc), will Google put the page higher?
