    The sidewalk

    First of all $0 in the bank sounds a lot better than starting in the red like many of the other people here. Second of all, you talk about making money and setting monetary goals. Why don't you try and figure out what value you can provide for other people or businesses and make goals around...

    Something MJ talked about in his book

    Yeah, I think you summed it up a little better than me. Haha.

    Something MJ talked about in his book

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. You know I was thinking about something similar today as well. Decisions are important, no doubt, but I think it is the ACTION you took that is the most important thing here. I remember reading the bit In TMF explaining how compound interest is so...

    Lacking grit.........How do I fix it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think my problem was that I've just kinda meandered through life so far rather than taking it on with any great energy. Because I've never really been so emotionally invested in a process before, I think when I considered the possibility of failing it hit me harder this time since this is the...

    Idea Validation Execution Questions

    IDEA 
    Hi I have a couple of questions on executing the idea validation for my business. The business will fulfil the needs of individuals (pier to pier) and also other businesses by providing a platform for them to sell/market their products to my application's users. The first question is since...

    Laravel vs Codeigniter vs Fuelphp

    I'm using a JavaScript full stack architecture for my app.....so node.js for the back end with express framework and the doT.js engine and Angular.js in the front end with a document based NoSQL database. I've used Python, Java and .Net/C# for past projects as well and a little PHP to design...

    Laravel vs Codeigniter vs Fuelphp

    My first thoughts would be, does it have to be in PHP? Unless you are building a WordPress site, then there are probably better options to go for. I say this mainly from a hiring point of view in that if you are eventually looking to bring this software development in house, then attracting top...

    Yeah. I was a lot like how you describe. That's kind of the problem. Haha. But actually in my work and studies I always look to break down a problem into smaller parts in a divide and conquer type pattern but for some reason I couldn't quite apply this to my personal or business life. A blind...

    Thanks for your thoughts. Lot's of great advice here. I suppose subconsciously I must have bought into the whole "cult of the entrepreneur" thing where by we are told that they are made of different stuff to the rest of us and if you haven't started a business by the time you're 16 and made your...

    How to value a mobile/web app?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Not even profits, sales! Company has never made a profit, or so I believe. This article is interesting saying that at $1 Billion it was a steal. https://stratechery.com/2016/dollar-shave-club-and-the-disruption-of-everything/

    How to value a mobile/web app?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Interesting. I can see why there is a market for buying up niche internet companies as investments. Buying a passive income business and getting a 25%-33% return seems a good deal for the buyer. I suppose it begs the question of whether you should sell these businesses if the valuation...

    How to value a mobile/web app?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where to put it. I was wondering how you would assess the possible valuation of a web/mobile app i'm working on. Now I know many of you will think I'm getting a head of myself here and I should concentrate on building the business first...

    Yeah I think that's right. I remember reading Seth Godin's book "The Dip" a while back and that was basically saying that once you have gone through that initial honeymoon period there is a long dip, where things get tough and you have to decide if the potential rewards once you're through the...
