    what do you think of my project?

    One of the most common kinds of help-me threads here goes something like this: 1. I want to make some web thing to get rich 2. I don't have any web thing skills, or any money to give people who do to make it for me 2a. (More comical cases) also I don't want to hand over any control of it 3...

    Quitting My Job

    MINDSET 
    You should always try to concurrently transition out of your job and into business, unless your savings are so extreme and your job so bad that it would be silly to do so. That's the basic position, for many reasons, the biggest being that rent must be paid and food must be bought. However...

    How You Got Your First Small Win?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Feedback: You've no power to enforce a revenue share and even if the client is friendly it'd be annoying overhead for them to send you statements of income. And delayed cash flow options is only for big operations, not people starting out. The website has a lot of jank. Janky websites usually...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just read it, pretty good book. Comes across as a refinement and reiteration of previous ideas, plus the included fictional narrative of the couple who made it using the methods was well played. I picked up a few additional good ideas, and even if you don't (in which case if you really know all...

    Area with the Most Demand?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Take a junior position in a web agency then take it from there when you're ready. You'll see directly what's in demand and see first hand the basics of the industry. Put an example node.js + react project on github with an instance running on heroku and put those links top of your resume when...

    Growing a business and the trials and tribulations that go with it

    A thing I noticed as an employee is businesses tend to grow to the size of their leader. At a certain point the tribulations of the business reach his limit, which sets a natural ceiling on its size. He hits the limit of his energy and can push or care no further, and grumbling in workers and...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    People don't repeat history because they forget it, they do so because they don't care to read it out of laziness. Cursory reading of history will quickly show that dedicated publicly funded police forces were not ubiquitous. The idea of call 911 and uniformed peacekeepers come rushing to save...

    School as a business!

    The issue is more the cost efficiency. If only 10% of the learning hours end up in real world application, which I'd say its roughly at, that's mindboggling losses. Contrast that with everything else that isn't known from school, so called on the job learning, where the efficiency is maximal...

    School as a business!

    There's definitely huge opportunity. Most of which would come from observing what these kids need rather than force feeding the same old useless material. The fact is that every adult involved is somewhere between negligent and malicious towards the kids involved. That's the only logical...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    That's more observation bias, because people don't visit places too far off the beaten path. Those who do don't feel that, but they instead might get scared and stressed out more than they'd like, and after one bad meal be wishing for a McDonalds and a Starbucks to feel warm and safe in...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    Sure, you specifically can't talk smack about their king. I do however challenge you to set foot in the place, judge it directly instead of n-th hand from what the internets have said you should think about the place, and then say with a straight face you feel oppressed and outside the rule of...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    @MJ DeMarco an example would be somewhere like Thailand, sunkissed paradise with chill people just going about enjoying their lives.

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    But also @OP I'd second giving NomadCapitalist a call, he basically specializes in cases like yours, high wealth individuals who'd like to modify their residency structure to be more in line with their tastes, political, economic, lifestyle, or otherwise. He'd no doubt go all in on a bespoke...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    From experience, there's many other countries available that are superior to western countries in the usual ways complained about. There's more than 200 in the world, guaranteed one will be close enough to taste. Especially if you've already made your money. The first step is basically to throw...

    Software recommendation?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    @Dan44 the keyword I think you're looking for is "telehealth", and there does appear to be whitelabel software out there for that e.g. https://itexus.com/white-label-telehealth-solution/

    I feel like a traitor because I want to start a similar business than my friend (but different approach and customers)

    PEOPLE 
    Could enter the market, lavish him with praise, then tell him you're specialising in X sector (versus his Y), and you'd be happy if you could exchange referrals. He doesn't want them, so referring them to you in exchange for you referring his preferred type to him could be win win. More common...

    Selling a 30 year old Business. Strategies? Planning?

    MARKETING 
    The ultimate asset is the business itself and the cashflow it generates, right? Especially a labour intensive services business. They only "sell" for the value of hard assets if liquidating, pennies on the dollar if anything. So not sure why the first concern being mentioned are the assets the...

    Looking for peers: absolute beasts in full stack software engineering

    PEOPLE 
    You could go work for a startup. Probably your best bet. Think, if you were an "absolute beast", "rockstar", "gun", "weapon", "wizard", or whatever other douchey phrase is flavour of the day for a flashy mid-level wrecking ball dev who often causes more harm than good, who is also an...

    My biggest error as an international contractor

    I don't follow, why not accept the relocation since you say that's a good opportunity, and continue your other work regardless?

    Vent about the fastlane formula

    GOLD! HOT! 
    There's plenty of businesses that meet your parameters, you just need to do the research required to dial in on it. Not all businesses are a 3 year valley of death style business, many can be making money in less than a month, and plenty of businesses have sprung out of a passion. In the end...
