    World Travel - Is it one of your BIG goals/dreams?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just to toss it out there, almost all of the negativity involved with the actual traveling (I really hate planes/airports too) becomes insignificant when you actually live in a different country for some non-vacation period of time. If you're staying somewhere for a couple of months or more...

    World Travel - Is it one of your BIG goals/dreams?

    You know that you don't have to live in a 3rd world shithole to experience other cultures, right?

    World Travel - Is it one of your BIG goals/dreams?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I wouldn't say that I've traveled extensively, but I have lived in two very different foreign countries for extended periods of time. I've also visited 7 different countries this year (and possibly a couple more over Christmas), though regrettably, all were short-term stays. When I consider...

    Is there any way to create a free or cheap blog with my own domain

    Assuming you want to reap some seo benefits of the blog content, sneakercount.com/blog would likely be better. Subdomains (blog.sneakercount.com) are considered largely separate websites, while subfolders (sneakercount.com/blog) are considered part of the same site. The subdomain would be...

    Fighting Introversion

    MINDSET 
    I agree with the others who said that the best to improve is to constantly put yourself in a position where you are forced to exercise your social skills. However, getting a position that forces this is more helpful that just making you practice. It lets you assume the role of the "sales-guy"...

    Just booked the hotel for the 3 recommended nights, but I'll probably be staying in town for a few days before/after.

    Italian setting up LLC or sole propr. in U.S./ What responsibility in Italy

    Of course, the standard (and best) answer will be to check with an Italian tax attorney. However, here's my stab at it: First, does she live in Italy? Most countries don't tax people who don't live there (the US being an exception.) If she does live there, then she likely owes tax on any...

    Sold All My Stuff. Taking a 9,000km Train Journey Across Asia.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree with most of your post, but have to argue with this point a bit. I think that a bit of travelling is one of the most growth-inducing things that people can do. Everyone should go spend at least a year in another country at the earliest possible moment imo. If your financials aren't in...

    Presentation question for past attendees: Do the presentations typically include an intro? or do we assume that we'll get to know each other well enough over the event that an intro isn't necessary?

    Ohhhhhh Man!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I know that feel... and it's not good. Have you managed to escape yet? I suppose one of the "good" bad things about the game industry is that people end up being forced out frequently enough that you often get the decision made for you. It's pretty easy to continue on in a bad situation, but...

    MARKETING 
    This! Stop browsing themes, and start creating content. Getting "stuck" on your theme choice is just an excuse not to do the hard part.

    So only post/respond to ads in areas where you feel safe traveling to? Hustle on ebay instead?

    Dropping out of college

    HOT! 
    If the options are school or work full time on business, then I agree. However, for most people the options would be school or full-time employment, working on business in the spare time/capacity that either affords. Which one of those leaves you with more capacity for working on your business?

    Dropping out of college

    HOT! 
    I understand not wanting your attention diverted and not wanting to be bothered with doing things you don't want to do. However, just to toss it out there, don't underestimate the value of two years of relatively easy/subsidized existence. You could put in a reasonable but minimal effort, get...

    AMA about Video Marketing

    MARKETING AMA 
    Like exige, I'm looking at making online courses. I'd like to exceed the quality of most of the stuff currently on the market (much of which seems to be headset-mic+screencap), so I could charge a premium, though I'd like to keep the initial outlay under $1-2k until it starts generating...

    AMA about Video Marketing

    MARKETING AMA 
    Thanks and subbed! In addition to voice-over and video capture, I was also concerned about the ability to film and record people speaking, like in a lecture or an interview. So I was a bit worried about large/stationary mics getting in the way. I was considering combining the zoom+lav mic...
