    What are the Prospects for the Portugal Market?

    There are better, faster growing areas to invest in these types of properties then something vague like portugal.. Do your research, these type of areas exist everywhere but they are specific cities or even neighborhoods in said cities, not vague answers like Portugal.

    Why are we so vague about our businesses ?

    MINDSET 
    Thank you all for the great replies, I hadn't considered increased ad cost and decrease of customer trust in the category caused by bad copycats. Sure ;P Come on you know I didn't mean it like that.

    Why are we so vague about our businesses ?

    MINDSET 
    Sure privacy, but other than that. I mean if we are following the principle of Entry why should we worry about people knowing more about our businesses ? Some people aren't following the principle of Entry of course and that makes sense for them, but even those that do seem to keep their...

    Income Store, Legit? NO, A SCAM AS WE PREDICTED.

    HOT! 
    Here's an easy answer. Check how much your website is worth. Do the math OR ask somebody to value it. I mean you don't need to manage a website yourself, you can hire people to do that. Specially when you have 100k to make it happen. Fiverr, VAs, actual employees, contractors. But hey if you...

    How to know when to quit my current business?

    EXECUTION 
    That's revenue, so not bad, but I wouldn't call it a great success. Try new flavors, bigger packages, automatic shipping (i.e subscription), premium versions, bundles, radio ads, magazine articles, affiliates, influencer marketing.. i.e pay a few bloggers to promote it, instagram maybe but...

    What happens when you quit your job?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Everyone thinks they can be their own boss.. What matters is how skilled you're at it. If your 'work' is simple like playing poker, then it's fine. Anything where the next step isn't so clear or you need to make complex decisions you can get stuck. *edit example: How to know when to quit my...

    Online platform for real estate

    That sounds like a cheap business to start if you know spanish. You can open one in a few south american countries and get it started. The hard part is getting traction, SEO ranking, and users.

    What happens when you quit your job?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    You can live comfortably off of online poker if you're above average (spend a bit time trying to learn EVs, hands and the like). If you're really good you can become a millionaire from it, but that's a tad unrealistic and goes against CENTS. Not for everybody, and it's boring work. But you can...

    Lack of time?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Install a time tracker on your computer.. I'm using rescuetime. It will show you the truth, and make sure you tag this forum as entertainment. Being here can be very valuable, but most of the time we're just hanging out. Read checklist manifesto (HIGH priority). You don't NEED to earn the same...

    22 Year old with a system problem..

    INTRO 
    That's possible, idk if it'd be profitable with our current super inflated currency. Also I don't think 'farmers' here have that kind of global mindset. There might be commodity traders doing some interesting things with it though. I'm not really informed in this subject, so you could likely...

    Found a motivation! I want to go live in Brazil!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'd say Rio and Sao paulo are a bad idea. Anything to the north and it's too hot, and I mean too hot 40C+ all day long and in the winter 33-35C. Also look at the demographics, south has more caucasians north has more africans, what you choose depends on your personal tastes. I don't think the...

    22 Year old with a system problem..

    INTRO 
    Small stuff that has cheap shipping. I can improve the margin with SEO instead of ads, and by using some shipping contracts that reduce shipping costs by 1/3. I could maybe profit 20$ per sale of this specific product. It's easier to scale if people buy it frequently, it lowers conversion costs...

    22 Year old with a system problem..

    INTRO 
    I started this one on a whim, after my previous attempt failed. As an aside, dropshipping doesn't work in brazil unless you are willing to be scammy and *hide the 40-60 day shipping and import tariffs the customer is going to have to pay on delivery. I just slapped these things on my previous...

    How to break the cycle of "Hard times➡️Discipline➡️Good Times➡️Laziness➡️Hard Times"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Build habits and systems.. That's the answer, if you depend on willpower to do things you can't win in the long run. Read atomic habits. It's a good book on this subject.

    22 Year old with a system problem..

    INTRO 
    Brazilian, 22, male. I've tried several things, most of them failed, I 'know' why or at least think I do. Mainly, lack of proper market research and a tendency of rushing things and a lot of sunk cost fallacy to tie me down. Current business "profited" 50$ this month with 5 sales. This is...

    Depressed by wasted time with 0 accomplishment

    INTRO 
    Read Atomic Habits. Focus on primarily changing Identity instead of goals, actions and outcomes. You should be asking yourself: Is this what a person making X dollars per year would be doing ? Would that guy do this thing I'm doing right now ? Read that book, it's great and it deals with this...

    23 yo male - dissapointed with myself and my life

    INTRO 
    I'm in a similar situation, going to be 22 friday. Pretty much thing except I'm from brazil and have a family business to fall back on as a plan b for at least a couple years. Most of my businesses so far have failed because I didn't know about CENTS, and got into some stuff without proper...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    This is one of the best books I've ever read. I read fastlane a couple years back, it was great but it didn't click (probably my fault) I understood it, but did not apply it. A couple years into the future and a couple failed ventures after I've read Unscripted. Very helpful, and made me apply...
