    New Skill Unlocked: The Sight (Level 2: Business Potential)

    MINDSET 
    There is indeed a misunderstanding! I completely agree with you! Getting folks to pull out their wallets is the ultimate form of validation for opportunities. I interpreted your response as a statement that OP's example may require investment and trust from the venue partners, and that this is...

    New Skill Unlocked: The Sight (Level 2: Business Potential)

    MINDSET 
    No abundance of money? Which world do you live in? There's too much money. There are not enough valuable opportunities for investors to deploy capital in. You're in Europe, the ECB has been printing money for the past years, billions per month, why do you think interest rates are so ridiculously...

    Branding so good that it's stupid?

    MARKETING 
    Have you considered paying them? They render a service to you (showing your product to your customer base) and you pay them for it?

    Stories of people spontaneously quitting job without a plan and working out perfectly?

    MINDSET 
    On the flip side, you don't have to take anyone into account when quitting your shitty job. Its all on you. You can make drastic changes in your life without any consequences. You can decide to save up 3-6 months of expenses, downgrade your lifestyle to a mattress on the floor in a shared...

    Ramit Sethi - "I TEACH YOU TO BE RICH" - how legitimate?

    BOOKS 
    For a slow-lane book its pretty good, I liked it. But it is slow lane, it will teach you to be rich. In 40 years. But if you read unscripted you'll recognise, that isn't how Ramit got rich. He's selling courses for 2-5k a pop. He's a marketing machine. Anyway... The advice that stuck with me...

    Stories of people spontaneously quitting job without a plan and working out perfectly?

    MINDSET 
    My experience isn't perfect, but I'm quite happy with how things have worked out for me. Although I'm not sure I would recommend my approach to everyone. I had my FTE last year and quit at the end of October. I didn't have a concrete plan lined up, no business idea yet. Went to travel for a few...

    Idea of selling your goods in fastest growin country in Central Europe

    IDEA 
    Can you tell us more about what makes Poland an attractive market? And if I have a product, what steps should I take to successfully sell in Poland? What are common pitfalls for doing business in Poland? What I’m really asking is, instead of drive-by advertising your consulting services, why...

    How does a super market POS system work?

    Worked closely with a lot of POS system providers in the past. Mainly in the fashion retail industry though. Like @Real Deal Denver said POS systems are a core component of most large retail operations. Look at it this way, modern enterprises run on large ERPs, inventory management, accounting...

    The First Time in China Guide

    Chrome works fine. Use it all the time. Only annoying thing is that Google is my default search engine there and that doesn’t work. And bing and Baidu are horrible.

    The First Time in China Guide

    Just checked. I can open live.com, Microsoft’s competitor, in China without VPN. So that could work as an alternative. Or forward mail from gmail there. Otherwise get a few different paid vpn’s so you always have a backup. Most I’ve seen have a monthly pass that you can cancel when you don’t...

    The First Time in China Guide

    Honestly, yes. You can not login to the gmail app, or retrieve mail from their servers using Apple Mail. Bing works. Not sure if Microsoft’s Gmail competitor works.

    The First Time in China Guide

    I’m in China right now been here 6-7 times (my wife/in-laws are Chinese). Plus I lived here for a while. Visa Visa requirements vary per country, but in NL I have to provide: Statement from employer indicating my salary, position and contract type. OR a bank statement showing sufficient funds...

    The Third Industrial Revolution

    Loved it. Predicting the future is hard, but especially around distributed energy production, so much is already happening. Thanks for sharing! It's a bit long, but thank Youtube for allowing double speed watching!

    How To Find (Non-Public) Email Addresses

    GOLD! 
    I second @ChrisJHarrington and @GPM comments. Mail Hunter plugin for Chrome is a goldmine. Go to the website of the company you want to reach, click the icon and it will show you all known names & e-mail addresses, and the structure of their e-mails (for example: [email protected]). And...

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I assume it's because of a fear of crashing? I decide not to care. A plane crash is so far outside of my circle of influence that I'm not even gonna bother caring. I buckle up when seated and when I board I count the number of seats to the nearest emergency exit, that's what I can do to make...

    Restrictive laws for side hustles in Germany - mental and legal hurdles

    MINDSET 
    I'm based in a neighbouring country (NL) with somewhat similar "laws". My main question is why do you want to have a side hustle? You seem to love your job. Why not focus on having an amazing career as a researcher? Before I share my experience you need to make a decision. What is more...

    Start With WHY

    I did not read the book, but I did watch the TED talk a few times over the past years. The feeling I always get is that he picks his data to fit his story. People don't buy why you do something, why you do anything is irrelevant, people buy to satisfy their needs. They buy perceived value. And...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished the book. It's actually helped me uncover some of my own false/limiting beliefs that have been holding me back recently. Thank you for writing it!

    How to start?

    MINDSET 
    In this case I would definitely try and get in touch with researchers into solar panels, semiconductors and a physical chemist who specializes in heat exchange fluids if you want to use new technology to improve existing solutions. Forget about learning the physics until you know clearly where...
