    Affordable Health Insurance for Entrepreneurs?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Medical tourism is pretty huge here. A lot of people move here at least temporarily to to take advantage of the health care. No waiting around, great prices, and top notch facilities.

    Bangkok Meet: Saturday 7 May

    Try not to break any fingers between now and Saturday! Am bar on 15 is also a decent spot if we plan on venturing out in that part of town. Are your friends members of the forum?

    If you had $200 for Marketing...

    MARKETING 
    Agreed. I'd be able to purchase 4 posts from a large account for $200. Each posts gets me 350-450 followers and a bunch of sales. A good amount of the followers become customers later. I haven't been able to get ads anywhere close to the return I get from a instagram paid post. I'd like to...

    When to tell people you have a business?

    PEOPLE 
    I never intentionally told anyone besides close family..unless they asked. Ok, well maybe a couple of groups I'm a part of. A few days ago though I put myself out there. The Prime Minister of Thailand picked up my products, shook my hand, and took photos with them. Too big to remain silent. I...

    Im having problems attracting vendors on my website.

    Numbers, traffic data, who are your customers. If someone approaches me with a website that gets 0 traffic why would I be interested? If someone says here is my website, we average 2000 visitors a day, x% from the U.S, and they're generally interested in... then ok, let's talk. what's in it...

    I want to live X but how's the internet speed?

    How much down/up are you paying for? A bit strange you're getting 50% more up than down??

    I was wondering why Lanta but Koh Hub looks pretty awesome. The island is nice but I don't think I'd want to stay there for too long

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Yes, Bangkok. Fine for running a business. Some obstacles need to be overcome. 1 example would be if I want to personally inspect my goods I'd have to pay an absurd import tax. The timezone is a bit more suitable for you if you're selling in Australia than myself who mainly focuses on the U.S...

    You didn't ask me but...awesome place! I've only been once for 5 days or so but absolutely loved it. Snorkeling was insane. Thousands of fish in front of your eyes, razor sharp reefs though that will slice your hand open if you're not wearing gloves... neighboring koh nang yuan is stunning and...

    Going "All In"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I think the use of the words "all in" is a bit overplayed in this thread. Is walking away from a $15k-35k a year salary really going all in? Is that not easily replaceable? Not that some aren't leaving larger sums of money. Hell, I walked away from a massive salary a few years ago. I don't mean...

    The Obamas paid over $100,000 in taxes. Strategy

    If he was a business owner we could think about it, get creative, learn. As a President the last thing he should do is attempt to lower his tax burden. #landfill and try again

    BigCommerce Rest In Peace (Alternatives Re: Price Increase)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I switched to shopify 5 or so days ago and am pleased thus far but I tried to use their chat and it said nobody was available. No option to wait. Recommended I send an email and it took them 5 days to respond. So support has been subpar for me.

    Winning the Hearts and Minds - Turning Skeptics into Fans

    PEOPLE 
    Thanks. A bit of both. Comparing the lifestyle and dietary impact of my factory workers compared to a typical U.S worker came to me. I'm mainly trying to show that by taking a line-by-line approach to breaking down their arguments against you can help win them over. People understand that...
