    Help! I've lost my mojo and can't seem to get it back!

    EXECUTION 
    Stop. You are jumping from one venture to another without giving anything the attention it needs to grow into something wonderful. If you drop your idea every time you see something new and shiny to try out, you won't get anywhere. Take a step back @PJ Pahygiannis. Pick one idea (maybe go back...

    Mobile apps (is it an option for a new income stream?)

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    If you have a fantasy series with lots of readers who can't get enough (think Harry Potter or Game of Thrones big) then I can see how this would be worth considering. I think there is a reason why many others aren't using this "format" and it's not because it hasn't been thought of or tried...

    How Did You Become an Entrepreneur

    As a kid, entrepreneurial activities were encouraged. A few that come to mind: I used to chop firewood to sell to people in my parents caravan park, often making a few hundred each school holidays. My sisters and I used to shovel horse manure into bags to sell as garden fertilizer (grandma was...

    19 and determined.

    Business IS business, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't care about the feelings of others. As Paul Graham wrote recently, mean people fail.

    Has your business used consultants? Or do you run a consultancy?

    It's really no different to finding any other service provider or clients. (Advertising, word of mouth etc.) 90% of my clients are referred to me by people I've helped in the past. It's all about the value that you provide. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean as this varies a lot...

    Has your business used consultants? Or do you run a consultancy?

    Feel free to PM me, although I'd recommend just posting the questions in this thread as the public discussion would probably help others as well.

    So Simple... It's Beautiful

    HOT! 
    I'm not surprised. After reading all of the questions posed by @biophase in this thread, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed! There are obviously so many things that need to be figured out, but if you are trying to do it all at once, you'll end up just chasing your own tail. If you have the...

    Any ways to increase the chances of winning projects on freelancer sites?

    Hey Gary, I think you'll find this article interesting.

    Experiences with Algorithm Based Financial Managers (ie. Future Advisor, Personal Capital, Wealthfr

    INVESTING 
    I've heard good things about Personal Capital, but haven't used them as they aren't available in Australia. I think there is a great opportunity for someone to offer a service like this outside of the US.

    My life sucks, so I'm going to make $1,000,000 in 12 months

    EXECUTION 
    I think a trap that many, myself included, fall into is that we focus too much on what we are good at. As a result, every idea ends up revolving around that 'thing' and we overlook or discard ideas that don't fit with our view of what we are good at/who we are.

    My life sucks, so I'm going to make $1,000,000 in 12 months

    EXECUTION 
    True, but half of those pages were other people saying that it can't be done. @Jakeeck has hit his goal for the first month, which is great. He has also hinted at his plan on how to step it up next month (through going up a pay grade with his freelance writing, which theoretically will mean...

    Can't get up in the morning? Try the threat of a felony.

    MINDSET 
    Thanks @jesseissorude - I've seen that book mentioned a few times around here and it seems to resonate well with others. I'll add it to my 'books to read' list. I agree regarding the limited reserves of willpower, which is why I focus on my habits early in the day. If you are looking for some...

    Can't get up in the morning? Try the threat of a felony.

    MINDSET 
    In my case, it'd still motivate me to wake up before the pic got sent. Ain't nobody want to wake up looking at that... (Edit: just realised why I'm single). (Edit 2: just set my alarm for an hour earlier tomorrow - might be a good morning for a bike ride.)

    MY FITNESS SITE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    EXECUTION 
    Very important. It's the most direct way to communicate with your customers and it is something that you control, whereas social media rules can change at any stage and have a huge negative impact on your business. Example: Charity Engine had lots Facebook fans who were waiting for the launch...

    Looking for some guidance, 21yo from Romania - starting from zero

    I think this would be a great starting point and may result in you making a lot more money than you would working in a local jr. dev job. You'll have to do the work though...

    SAAS / APPS PUBLISHING 
    @Berliner030 I think a lot of what you have mentioned is already being done with enhanced ebooks on both the iBook and Kindle stores (and the stuff that isn't may interfere with and detract from the reading experience). While it wouldn't be too hard to create a book in HTML5 and convert it...

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    Good luck with next weeks show, I love genuine raw content and was hoping you'd take the show in this direction. Thanks for clarifying about the name, it makes perfect sense and I've no doubt you'll OWN it. Apologies for the part I played in derailing this thread earlier.

    Maybe grab some of these? Then you can write directly on your shower wall.
