    Last time I was early to send my monthly report, this time I am 10 days late. This month is very busy and rough. My partner left for a month-long vacation and left me his son to help with the stuff. I am busy every day and every waking hour due to shifting of my business area. My new stuff is...

    I am no SaaS expert but your story, especially that "interviews with several people who use the project management platform" part looks like you would definitely benefit from the book "The right it" by Alberto Savoia. It is a short read, but a very enlightening one and covers this specific set...

    A job that beats my business

    Well, weird things continue to happen. My acquisition to this off-shore job is not an instant process - they promise to finish everything in a week or two. And in the meantime people are asking us to work for them. Just now I sent an price of $40 thousand for a job to a guy who was desperate to...

    That is exactly my problem with positive examples. They are survivors. And we do not see those who had all the same plus some bad luck. And I want to see them also, learn from them

    “All happy families are happy in similar way. Each unhappy family is unhappy in their own way” (Russian proverb) As much of my work on my business is physical and do not require much brain power, I do a lot of listening and thinking. And recently something struck me. Although we are usually...

    Starting to think I just suck at this...how do I collect proper market research? (Mortgage niche)

    MARKETING 
    Wow, that is a lot to change in the client. In my personal opinion if you get out there and do not get a response - it is either product problem (you solve a non-existent problem) or a marketing problem (you do not reach your audience). In either case it is a problem with commandment of NEED...

    Thanks everyone! I was thinking (with the help of all you wrote here) for the last 2 days and also I had a lengthy discussion with my business partner yesterday evening. The thing is that while I was on my course - something else happened that I am a bit excited of. And with that put into the...

    They give the same set of benefits that are usual for high-paying jobs in my country, can’t object. All the proper insurances are in place. I do not doubt the company, I doubt myself stepping into the slowlane again, even if it is part-time :)

    My business relies heavily on my skills and expertise so it won`t "run"without me. But it can still "walk". And I can put all the hard stuff back for my on-shore days, it is a no problem. No, I do not. But I have pets and will have to solve on who is going to take care of them. Due to my...

    Exactly my thoughts. They even suggested I take my first trip there as an independent contractor. They are ready to accept me as a salaried worker but can adjust for us to have a series of dates first

    Funny how things turn out sometimes, hey? I am one year into the business (like, 2 weeks ago was an anniversary for my FTE). Slowly I am moving, focusing mainly on the commandment of ENTRY - moving from "I will keep your hallway clean" to "I will fix that pipe on the outer wall that leaks for...

    5 Months passed and i did nothing.

    QUESTION 
    You do not need a side-hustle. You do not get 2k/month right from the start. This is all irrelevant. What you need is one single person or entity who has a problem which you can solve. At first it might be $100 for a week of your work. But that is how you start. Not with titles or grand...

    Developing Your Personality

    IMHO, this mindset is a path to mediocrity and median-to-low results. I do not know whether it is the case now, but in my World of Warcraft years there was a term for a greatly built character - this character was called "imba", short for "imbalanced". A defining characteristics for such a...

    Reread your first message. "I need..." "I want..." "Give me...". And not a single "I can... for you" or "I will ... for you" That is what makes us think that you are looking for a free pass

    As I am building my business, one there is one thought I keep running into time and again. It seems very natural to me and yet I rarely hear it from someone else, even from many entrepreneurs here. So I want to express it and get some outside thoughts and feedback. The initial question is this...
