    Quick Questions for you from aspiring entreprenuer

    HEALTH 
    Sure, that would be so much better and your example is really great. My point was why don't answer those two simple questions and then ask for an introduction. That's what give and then ask is, otherwise it sounds a bit awkward to preach one thing and act a bit differently. Please don't take...

    Stock Trading software attempt

    EXECUTION 
    Agree on everything except 200 traders @ £30. This software should be much more expensive if it really works. Think of value is can provide managing large sums of money. I'm still a bit suspicious cause I have seen profitable traders, but haven't seen profitable automated trading software that...

    Redbull VS Coffee. What to choose?

    HEALTH 
    Used to drink up to 3 liters of energy drinks a day. Now I don't see any reasons for drinking them. Regular exercise, better sleep, and better nutrition provide so much stamina boost that it beats energy drinks completely. You don't wake up like a zombie, don't feel tired after caffeine...

    Should I Quit My First Web Project?

    Why would you add new features when you don't have future plans for the project? To me, it seems that you've already achieved something with this project. Like learning full-stack development, building something from scratch and getting 80 users onboard. It also opened the opportunity of being...

    Quick Questions for you from aspiring entreprenuer

    HEALTH 
    1. Yes, twice in the last year, to the point I had to visit a doctor. 2. I wish I was doing more exercise and found out sooner that some lamels in the bed were broken. Yes, I would happily give the answers to such simple questions. Especially considering this and this Helping fellow...

    When your back's against the wall...

    HOT! 
    Long term - think what got you there, what should've been done differently and how not to be in that situation in the future. Short term pretty much this: Although I would start with messaging the closest people in some kind of messenger. It's quicker communication and feels more personal to...

    Stock Trading software attempt

    EXECUTION 
    Is it profitable? Do you have proofs? That's the first thing I think when I see this kind of product for sale. Like an indicator or trading bot. The reason is simple - if it's profitable why not start an investment fund, get a loan or just kick a$$ with your own/borrowed money? Why sell the...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    This would probably be the last progress post in this thread. I'm too excited about my journey in really "love what you do" kind of way and this is the only place I can share something and avoid tricky questions cause of the NDA. But its all me me me and doesn't provide much value to others...

    When You Hit The Fast Lane, What Was It Like?

    The niche of the project is quite small. So far we're already the go-to, #1 solution, yet not every potential customer knows of us. The project grows organically quite fast and we put some paid advertising into the fire from time to time just to escape the recommendation circles and form new...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read the book 3 times cause it's totally worth it. I would say it's the guide to entrepreneurship. The essence of everything that's needed to become not just an entrepreneur, but a successful one in a single book. It's the closest to being a blueprint as I can imagine. I'm pretty sure that no...

    When You Hit The Fast Lane, What Was It Like?

    Congratulations! Seems like you're enjoying the process too! I'm not in Fastlane yet and still have a very long road ahead as my business income just slightly overcome ex-salary at the moment. However, I do feel similar to you as that income is pretty much detached from my time. How to grow...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Yes, reading improves brainpower, memory and provides different views that improves creativity. And thinking is as important as taking massive action to achieve great results.

    Business Idea.....seeking feedback

    IDEA 
    This service is definitely available here in Ukraine, although much cheaper (but the prices for the US seems ok with their average earnings). Grass cutting would make this all-in-one service, I would definitely take this into consideration. Signs near the entrance to the cemetery should be...

    Monogamy. The idea of loving only one woman all your life?

    IDEA 
    Everything depends on your goals. My wife is great. She may not be the best asset financially but she gifted me great kids and helped to build security for all of us. She also supported me on all my business journeys and recently, after reading Unscripted and listened to all my points, started...

    Starting a new business make sure to have the following.....

    The things you mentioned are just marketing channels. Well, a domain is a bit broader, but that depends on what's you're doing. You need to provide something people want and are willing to pay for. Ways to marketing this highly depend on product/service your offering. For example, for software...

    Happy To Be Here!

    INTRO 
    Those are great skills! You can provide value by analyzing someone's data with machine learning and suggest them a way to improve their business. For example, my wife recently used the same skills to help friends mobile game company to produce more relevant games. They noticed that they make...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    3 months without a job recap What happened We wanted to start a software development service business. I've landed a nice quite big project for service fee and equity%. Partners wanted to skip it cause it seemed unlikely to do it in time while on 9-5, so I took it myself. Took a 2 weeks...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Sure, technically both gold and crypto can be used in value exchange. Another thing is I'm pretty sure it's not allowed here. For example, for export invoices paid in foreign currency we should report in hryvnas at the rate from central bank at the day of payment. They don't list rates for...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    They had to be on paper, physically signed by the other party and taken to the bank before the payment is made (it's only for export activities). Now the laws already changed quite a bit and printed "Terms of Use" from the web site is ok for a bank. Later you can make invoices yourself and the...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Sure, that one of the main reasons to incorporate in a different country. Another is that they have much simpler and lower taxation, modern laws and as far as I know no bullshit inspections every once in a while. Sure, and I'm pretty sure PayPal knows it too. We can pay through PayPal, but...
