    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Moving somewhere with more daylight, and a more balanced temperature system was the best decision of my life. I previously lived in more than 15 cities spread across Europe, Central America and even North Africa. I found somewhere within the EU, so its fully developed and has most of the...

    Do You Start a Business With an Audience, Product, or Problem?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Epic! I wish I had capacity to read faster, but taking the time between reading sessions to absorb and reflect on the knowledge has proven to be the best way forwards for me! Glad to see my mind wasn't playing tricks and "Action Faking" itself :D

    Do You Start a Business With an Audience, Product, or Problem?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Ok, @MJ DeMarco covered exactly this in chapter 40 of Unscripted. Exactly my thoughts and conclusions were covered - feels a bit like I was preaching to the choir here, sorry about that!

    Do You Start a Business With an Audience, Product, or Problem?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Agree with both of you From my perspective: Reading through the forum and other places, many people miss the marketing step and efforts needed to judge if the project deserves more attention or if it's time to move on (as I used to). Failure is judged solely on adoption regardless of marketing...

    Do You Start a Business With an Audience, Product, or Problem?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION 
    This thread follows some shower thoughts I've been having recently - so rather than start a new thread ill post here :) I disagree with the ideology of "Fail fast". You could have an amazing service that transforms the lives of users. People really need it and you could get 1 million...

    Escrow / Flippa - EU to US - what am I missing?

    QUESTION 
    @Andreas Thiel - I have generally only heard reasonable things about Flippa, maybe hold out a bit longer and ask the seller to to lean on them heavily! I would avoid going outside of Escrow - its there to protect you, like an insurance, Amazing when you have it and need it! --- I know that its...

    New Livestreaming Tool For Marketers

    IDEA 
    "Participants can enter for a chance to win $50" That's stuff puts me off. Also you have 1 post - asking for something, with almost no information and detail other than its "a tool for marketers" You should give before you ask - friendly forum etiquette

    All my work GONE!

    RANT WEB DESIGN 
    Well, it sounds like you were uploading and distributing copyrighted material (The handouts from a workbook) - which is illegal btw. That is likely why you were suspended. Email their support and ask them for the reason.

    37 minutes until I board my plane, and then THIS happened

    I came across this because it came up in the forum "Recent Activity" - Thanks for finding and posting @Parks ! This is epic, and beautiful! It seems like @snowbank hasn't been active for a while - which is a shame. This kind of raw wisdom is what I constantly crave! Many lessons here - much...

    Thoughts on Duda CMS

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hmm... I had a quick look. It seems like more of a locked down page builder (a la wix) than something more extensible (a la Wordpress). I don't really see many ways to really customize, although there does seem to be a reasonable API and extensions documentation. Since everything is managed...

    How many of you guys pay virtually nothing in taxes due to write offs?

    One of the best things about taxes, is that there's always a cheaper option - move! Just like @MJ DeMarco did, there's always somewhere to pay less taxes. If you're married to your physical location, then you will spend your whole life giving more of your hard earned income away. It might be...
