Zara Parent to Close 1,200 Stores and Invest $3 Billion in E-Commerce
No links, but I find this really interesting. I visited a Carhartt store before lockdown and noticed how few products they have in their stores. It made me think of Apple's approach to stores - having them there for an experience and to demonstrate the brand, but not necessarily with intent to...- jmin

Is Co-Op worth the time, and financial investment (University).
OFF-TOPICDon't do something just for the sake of it. You have to truly believe it's the best decision. It sounds like you're not interested in going into accounting? So would you want to spend a year working in that industry? You've listed a benefit as being "a better chance of finding a full-time job...- jmin

Baby steps - Starting the journey to 'unscripted'
INTRO5.4% (for me - on £77.5k....) Wouldn't be surprised if they put interest rates up to be honest. Apparently they were privatising some of the debt which is why rates went up. Although I'm quoting a friend there so I may be wrong. The worst thing is I was blindsided by "ah it's fine, we'll...- jmin

Baby steps - Starting the journey to 'unscripted'
INTROI don't mean student loan debt - I mean my credit card and bank overdrafts. Currently have 0 capital - I start work next week so I'll receive my first paycheck next month.

Hello, my name is Trevor!
INTROWelcome Trevor, Good work on getting something going, what sort of thing are you doing with your business venture? Kahneman's book is great, although it's quite heavy reading. Took me a couple of months to get through it all with proper notes etc- jmin

Preferred method for reading
I love my Kindle. Especially for reading in bed or on the go... The main advantage is having my highlights on my computer automatically. Although it took a while to get used to not highlighting too much.... I have it linked up to readwise to send me a daily email with a random selection of...- jmin

Baby steps - Starting the journey to 'unscripted'
INTROJust calculated my finances based on the salary of my new job. I should be out of [short-term] debt in 5-6 months. That's not including any potential bonuses at work. That gives me more than enough time to research products and collate an idea for a venture to launch next spring (once I have...- jmin

Baby steps - Starting the journey to 'unscripted'
INTROHi guys, I've been on the forum for a couple of weeks now and I'm halfway through reading Unscripted. I've been reading a lot over the past year, it's definitely helped to shift my mindset but I'm ready to stop being a 'wantrepreneur'.

Picking it up again.
EXECUTIONHey Jiersk, looking forward to seeing how this goes! I find it pretty amazing when I hear of products on Amazon selling without much marketing. Do you think this is because there's a lack of competition with the product? How do you think customers are finding you? PS. Let me know if you have...- jmin

Facebook ads to test market?
MARKETINGYou could run lead generation ads just to get user information. But with a product, people might want to see more details about the product before providing any information. A simple landing page wouldn't be a bad idea. Have you considered Kickstarter? That could be a good way to gauge demand...- jmin

My journey to the fastlane.
INTROHey Miller, welcome to the forum. I'm in a pretty similar situation myself - just starting out. I've been big on 'consumption' over the last year - reading and studying a lot.

HOT! EXECUTIONIt's usually best to get the product out and then worry about improving it - build and release your 'minimum viable product'. You don't want to put hours into something which might not take off. Plus, real feedback will highlight the work you need to focus on. Good luck.- jmin
