    Remote Work - Morally Wrong??

    IDEA 
    Let's say I am a consultant and I make your company an extra $100K in revenue. If you only had to pay me $40K for the service, would you be mad if the work only took me 4 hours (instead of 40 hours, 400 hours, or 4,000 hours?) Of course not - you get the result sooner, and I get a higher hourly...

    Awesome post. There are lots of ways to use conditional probability to increase your odds of success. Go through CENTS before you decide on a business. Make sure it follows at least some of the commandments right now (and have an idea of how you can solve the rest later). Once you decide on a...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Mortgage/down payment assistance programs push prices higher. The politicians who create those programs know it - but they already own plenty of real estate, so they are happy with the result. @biophase I agree with your premise in this thread - especially for anyone willing to house hack...

    I don't know anyone who starts programming a project from a blank slate. Usually you copy and paste from an old project of yours (or from code you find online) and then modify it to suit your exact purposes. Don't reinvent the wheel - just modify it slightly to fit your car.

    Yep. Grass is always greener! Sitting too much will destroy your body just as much as kneeling on tile all day to do plumbing - maybe just in a different way. Always best to get a variety of movement during the day if you can.

    Very thoughtful post. Remember that you could build and exit a business within 5 to 10 years (maybe less?) So, you will have other chances to work on a different business later on. Even better: you will have a higher chance of success in future ventures, due to the skills you learn from the...

    What would you do with unlimited supply of spare carpet pieces?

    IDEA 
    Cut into small circles/squares for drink coasters? (might need to add something to the base to make it more stable) Cut into welcome mat shape/size and embroider with patterns/words? Cut into step/stair size and nail onto stairs to prevent slipping with wet shoes and to preserve wood stairs...

    What's the point complaining?

    MINDSET 
    I agree that complaining will not do much for you, and listening to the complaints of others just might yield a good business idea!

    Corporate Brainwashing -> Fastlane Freedom

    INTRO 
    Your background makes you more technical than most, so one option is some type of app (you could use a nocode tool to prototype it faster). Is there something you and your colleagues struggled with at your job that an app could help solve? Your workplace could be your first customer. Remember...

    Corporate Brainwashing -> Fastlane Freedom

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! Do you have any ideas for your business? Any problems that your company (and others) has that you can solve? Your engineering background might help you at some point, so don't think that it was all a waste.

    Opinion on making an app/SAAS starting as free and then finding a way to monetize it?

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    I think there are worse things you could pursue as an entrepreneur. You will definitely learn some skills - regardless of the financial outcome. Start with a simple free version of your app. Ask for emails so you can send users an update on new versions of the app. You can also send out emails...

    The Solider And The Bird: A Tale From The Battlefield

    MINDSET 
    I take a ~45 minute walk every day, which gives me time to think. I also do yoga in the morning and exercise during the day, and I think those help.

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    I am curious about how this will change teaching in schools, as well as private tutors. I can see test prep and admissions consulting getting disrupted too.

    INTRO 
    Welcome Rob! I think you will learn a lot from the forum. I would recommend starting with the "High Value Topics" (Gold Threads and Notable Threads). Do you have any thoughts on what type of business you want to start (or do you have one already)?
