    Is your day job supposed to have a purpose?

    MINDSET 
    P.S. @Odysseus M Jones ... also one more thing. Lets not forget that productivity is relative. Since I`ve been working on my latest business while still employed, I`ve gained an enormous amount of experience which I do apply in my job. Had I stayed just an employee, I would be a worse employee...

    Is your day job supposed to have a purpose?

    MINDSET 
    Sounds OK to me at least. When I hire someone to do a job, and they do it on time, I`m more than happy to pay them. I dont expect them to go above and beyond for my sake or to push themselves to impress me. I`m not like that. While any extra effort or passion, will be appreciated, I dont require...

    Is your day job supposed to have a purpose?

    MINDSET 
    Thats how all jobs are. Its not that the work necessarily sucks, its that you lack autonomy. Getting told what to do and when, and getting micromanaged, eventually creates resentment. P.S. I lack autonomy as well, because I`m still working a job. Dont let it get you down. Spend time and effort...

    So I just registerd a B+ .com name, whats next for my theoretical product?

    Be 100% sure that thats whats happening. There are certain metrics which domain name sellers track. Domain name search being chief among them. Its not a coincidence, they actually do register and re-sell highly sought after domains. Chances are that the domain you wanted to register was already...

    So I just registerd a B+ .com name, whats next for my theoretical product?

    Are you asking about e-commerce or about branding and manufactoring? You can sell without producing and you can produce and sell, so I`m not sure what your goal is.

    So why can't China sell direct and take out the middleman (us)?

    MINDSET 
    I think you are missing the point of entrepreneurship. Its about solving problems and making life easier for people. It doesnt matter that your product/service will be copied, there are tons of ways to skew value and overwhelm the competition. You cant compete much with China, only if you are...

    Freelancing with no skills ?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yes and no. As with anything else, you can get started pretty fast, sure. To get good enough at it to get paid, you`ll have to put in the hours. How quickly you`ll progress largely depends on your current skills and knowledge. There is art to making a web design so dont think its like learning...

    How do you...

    If you havent, read MJs books. What you need is what he calls "domain" experience. Go work for somebody that is in a business similar to what you want to build and you'll get your answers and then some. Try and build a business with no domain knowledge and you will fail.

    FYI : looking for a business idea?

    IDEA 
    It reads exactly like a buzzword salad void of meaning. Maybe they have staff, clients and money, but their services are unclear. But again, I dont get how this gave you ideas for a business. For example: "the only industry-recognized solution that uniquely converges Single Sign-on (SSO)...

    FYI : looking for a business idea?

    IDEA 
    Not that I`m looking, because I have my hands full ATM, but how does checking out companies on linkedin translate to ideas? Do you mean that you may find a company solving a niche problem which has no solution where you are located, or?

    You mean a job? Get a job, get money. Learn skills, earn more money. Find a problem, build a solution business funded by the money you`ve made. Invest money from the business. You are asking about step 4, while you are at step 0 it seems.

    F*ck it, i'm learning to code

    EXECUTION 
    Why do you need a portfolio to land an interview? Apply, email, call, go to their office and ask to speak with HR if you have to. Hustle. I`ve cleaned vomit of a bar top and chairs for 8 bucks a day. Even after I became a developer there were tough times when I had no money.
