    Crappy product or crappy site? You decide

    Hi all, my website selling is selling a dry eye product : dryeyefix.com.au Had some Google Ads and FB ads running with good results (Google Ad ~12% CTR) to main product page. After 600 visitors, I had one abandoned cart and zero sales. Clearly the product page sucks. Would love your advice on...

    What Are the Dumbest Financial Decisions You Have Ever Made?

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Buying dividend shares in 2017, and selling in March 2020. Lost about 20k from that one + any dividends they would have produced. Sold a car in April 2020 for 24k, it's worth about 34k in this market.

    Is a market crash coming? Or massive hyper-inflation?

    HOT! 
    I think this is why real estate is going up so much, people are hedging. Having said that spoke to a broker who said majority of people in the market here in my city in Australia are not investors.

    Is a market crash coming? Or massive hyper-inflation?

    HOT! 
    Here in Australia I'm sitting on 10% crypto/shares and the rest cash at the moment and it feels a bit dumb watching hard asset prices go up and up. The question is deploy some cash now or wait for a correction? Super low interest rates are super enticing.

    Choosing between 2 business ideas

    IDEA 
    Sure I have done something similar, but it's very time consuming.

    Choosing between 2 business ideas

    IDEA 
    For sure, high density is where it will thrive.

    Choosing between 2 business ideas

    IDEA 
    Just a quick followup: Did a little market test with putting a Facebook ad up for the pingpong business asking for email leads (on the premise they get notified when the business opens), got a 5.5% conversion rate. Does this seem reasonable? I remember reading 1-2% is a good conversion rate for...

    Choosing between 2 business ideas

    IDEA 
    That's a throwback! Starting 2 at once would be a stretch. However, the optometry clinic would be quiet at the beginning due to patient database needing to be build up over 2 or so years, which would allow me to do the Ping Pong thing. I see ping pong as something similar to 8 ball, it has a...

    Choosing between 2 business ideas

    IDEA 
    I am an optometrist already. I am not looking to get rich fast, but I do see this as a 5 year "all in" play.

    Choosing between 2 business ideas

    IDEA 
    Would love to hear some feedback on picking between 2 business ideas. They are in an unrelated field. 1 is the safe play: a brick and mortar optometry clinic which would specialise in children's vision (myopia is a huge risk factor for kids these days). I would have to work in the business a...

    Overcoming analysis paralysis/ achieving clarity

    MINDSET 
    Thanks, I've actually just got Annie Duke's book "How To Decide" to help out. Great idea, I actually made an app for optometrists but it never took off (well we had 25% of optometrists in Australia using the app, but couldn't monetise it). Never even thought of it that way, but yes most people...

    Overcoming analysis paralysis/ achieving clarity

    MINDSET 
    Looking for advice on how to achieve clarity on what next step to take. I am a locum optometrist thats been doing it for 10 years now, so have saved up some money. I have about 200k that I can spend on setting up a business/ buying a business. My issue is after 10 years of the same career, I...

    Eye exams and Office Furniture mix

    Looking to get some feedback on a business idea. My concept is a mobile optometrist that visits corporate offices (once COVID goes away) to provide on-site eye exams. I was thinking to bundle this service up with buying a small local office furniture company and use their current clients to...

    Your Thoughts On Meditation?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Meditation has made me realise just how many useless or negative thoughts I have. At the same time this heightened awareness has made me actually feel unhappy because I keep battling to change the thoughts to a more positive tune, which does not feel natural. I guess in my case ignorance was bliss.

    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    So I have a chance to buy a float tank from a gym that is expanding and they are throwing in 500 of the most recent float clients as well... $5000 bucks total, wonder if I can put it in another gym and lease it out to them.

    Being Productive During This Crisis

    MINDSET RANT 
    If you can't improve yourself during a lock down, there is no hope in hell you will during "normal times".

    Have a list, no product

    I am in the industry and made them an app to speed up contact lens fits (made it free hoping contact lens companies would see the value of having eye docs all in one place, but none want to sponsor content in it). So moving on from the app, and thinking of to do with the list....

    Have a list, no product

    I have a list of eye doctors which covers about ~20% of them, but unsure of what to do with it. Anything else I should be doing besides reading through their Facebook groups/ forums to find their needs?

    Never let a good crisis go to waste

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Would be interesting to see who made money during the last pandemics.
