    I think you might be possibly missing my larger point, I'm not your customer! I'm not someone that is interested or willing to pay for anything related to Python & coding so my opinion is not the one that matters, it's the equivalent of asking an old lady on the street. It's just an opinion...

    Hey I just thought I'd pop in to your thread, I think what people are trying to say is that you need to take as much time to evaluate what the market for what you are trying to sell is as you do just putting effort into just creating something without a clear idea of who is actually going to pay...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    100% with you on this one, it's nice to see people grinding out an IRL business. I'm also incredibly impressed with your profit margins, congrats on that. Excited to see how you handle the next phases of growth.

    I don't totally understand people's fixation with the science of vaccines being in some way uniquely muddy, we do way crazier things that trick our bodies to produce antibodies. Like turning air into food, beaming encoded information through space or turning wolfs into pugs. My personal take on...

    What do you think about manifestation? - What most successful people commonly believe, in a way

    MINDSET 
    I used to half-believe that I had good days & bad days. And that bad days followed good days and good days bad. I would look at the calendar and think "ohhh Friday is a bad day, better postpone x" or think "that's a good day, I'm going drink with my friends and go out". I would excuse crap...

    Hi, welcome to the forum and congrats on the success! It's very impressive and you no doubt have a lot of insight. A few q's if I may: When did you feel the company started to get traction and grow? Was it a gradual continuous slog or nothing then exponential? Who was your most important hire...

    Probably 1000sqft for now and the next 12 months, ideally 2000sqft to really future-proof it. The 2k sqft seems like a particularly awkward size to find, at least in a 30-minute radius from me, checked the links you sent but unfortunately they don't really seem to cover my area much. Thanks...

    European Fastlane Business Thread

    I feel European at heart, being born in Italy and growing up there. Now in the UK. People don't understand when I tell them that I will never move back to Italy. Love the country, love the people, love the food and atmosphere but god forbid you want to create anything, so many hurdles that just...

    Loved having the local council goons drop by posters with "you must wear a mask to enter this premises", "max *blank* number of people in the premises" as well as a self-certification that we are taking steps to comply with the law. We are, obviously, why wouldn't we? But why the hell do we...

    For proposal, I think they just might mean that they want to know what you want to do with the space, information about yourself and your business or proposed business. The landlords might not want certain types of businesses there. Eg. they don't want a cafe if there are 10 in the area...

    Thanks for your message Walter, it's always great to have you weigh in on this. You are completely on the money with the constructed plan part, for the past 3 years I've been basically throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks: food truck, carts, events, wholesale, delivery & now...

    Well, I also handle the production which is off-site and the food truck bit is sort of being abandoned long term. You can rely a lot more on drunk people than on the sun shining here in the UK.

    Small update: I've formally put in an offer for a second shop, roughly double the size of my existing shop. Still hasn't been formally accepted, but the parties seem very keen and I think everyone involved is quite happy with the terms and the prospect of me being there. Still, time for things...

    You have to understand that fear is a necessary physiological mechanism that has been built up for your own survival, it is there to avoid you causing damange to yourself. However, because of your intelligence you are able to assess the possible negative outcomes of an event. What is the worst...

    Biggest and hardest mindshifts

    MINDSET 
    Re IQ, I would argue vision & determination both play a larger part in the success of an entrepreneur. I'd say the former is linked to IQ to some degree the second definitely isn't. For me, the biggest mindset shift was moving away from "just one more thing and it'll all be ok". This idea that...

    At the start, you have to, unfortunately, you are the one doing all the shit jobs everyone else said no to, but as you progress being able to say no is definitely something you get to do more. Just make sure that you debrief with yourself what you would have done better, make some notes on it...
