    Considering to work for a startup vs entrepreneurship

    I've been working in start-ups for years as a bill paying day job whilst I work on my own projects. It's been great getting paid to learn, getting to leapfrog up the ladder (there's no way I'd've been in charge of what I've been in charge of at a larger organisation given my limited experience...

    Have you helped someone lose weight? How?

    HEALTH 
    Depending on their temperament - with most people I would go on a "fishing expedition". Talk around the subject, see if you can ascertain their thoughts on the subject, without straight up asking. Give them opportunities to volunteer information. Asking straight up is only for people who'd take...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday Master Thread: What you selling? Buying? Promoting?

    MARKETING 
    Does that not incentivise (& again, I'm doubting the big enterprise customers are doing this, but for the hobbyists...) not renewing after a year & then maybe signing up again as someone different - a "new" customer - so they can get a discount again? Or have I not understood your deal...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday Master Thread: What you selling? Buying? Promoting?

    MARKETING 
    Are you discounting your annual subscriptions? For me there is a company that I typically only buy from once a year now, because their bf sales are good, I'll buy a years worth of "stuff" from them in one go. If discounting something that renews annually, aren't you pretty much ensuring that a...

    Is it possible for very rich people to hang out with poor/working class people?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Read the title & thought: Of course! Over the years I've become friends with a bunch of wealthy people despite having been the proverbial "starving artist". Then I read you thread & saw what you mean. Kak has it exactly: I thought about where I'd met the wealthy people I do know, & the first...

    A Money System That Is Actually Working For Me

    In finance beta refers to what the market does. So if you have an FTSE tracker fund, you will follow the market exactly. If it rises by 7% in a year, you too will gain 7%. You did not outperform the market. You only achieved beta. This can obviously be done passively. Alpha refers to what you...

    LOVE this book. Very well written & a subtle dark humour* that I enjoyed immensely. *at least I chose to interpret it as such. As someone with recent work history of jobs that wouldn't have existed even only ten years ago, this bit always sticks in my mind: Made me lol. I can just imagine...

    I've been in there - in a dark place where everyone lets you down. It is eye opening & not especially pleasant. But like many things in life, one's perspective is paramount. Whilst I was having my "eyes opened" I made sure to take a look at myself too & learn the lessons I needed to learn out of...

    Hey Rubin (awesome name!) Welcome! I'm not on the spectrum, but I have some familiarity. I also can at least sympathise with loving order, planning, spreadsheets, a fully reconciled account with all the receipts in place, & the pain of working with people who have no appreciation of any...

    is it wrong trying to become millionaire in 2 year when you earn $0?

    MINDSET 
    No. Now go do it. Cool? But what if you now get to the end of year two & aren't a millionaire. Does that mean you were crazy & delusional after all? Does that mean I (a stranger on the internet) am for telling you you're not? Does it matter? Instead I would try looking at like this - is it a...

    So came across this on Instagram, but it originates on tiktok (@itsdanielmac for both) where he asks people with nice cars what they do for a living. He's done a few & they're going viral. I wonder if anyone will have such a life changing moment as MJ did from just this? The angle taken in...

    Hah! - Getting MAJOR flashbacks to an ex who geeked out on coffee (& was British). The little set of scales & everything! The amount I learnt about coffee (only some of which I've retained) was ridiculous for someone who doesn't even drink it! I could see where that video was going from the off...
