    How do you all keep your books?

    Woah... some of you guys don't keep reciepts? I don't know about the US but you have to make sure that every single expense claim is backed up by a reciept here in good old Blighty. In fact, running businesses in London we even have significant trouble claiming back public travel costs (We...

    Education System FAIL!!!

    HOT! 
    I agree wholeheartedly with this. Despite my initial comments in this thread being a bit dismissive I come from a family of teachers. My mother is a teacher, my aunts and uncles are teachers. All within the English school system (My knowledge of American schooling is limited, having never...

    Education System FAIL!!!

    HOT! 
    sswift... I would have to say that this teacher was more damaging than good. Having your own beliefs is fine, but showing a "documentry" (i.e a factual piece) based on pure speculation than actual hard facts is not what children should be taught. This guy does not deserve his job. He is...

    Education System FAIL!!!

    HOT! 
    Those of us who are succesful need the 'sheep'. The products of this educational system form 99% of the population and are our employees, our doctors, the people who serve us our coffee and keep our streets safe. They are honourable people, and without them we wouldn't be successful. Then...

    Double Your Productivity

    It's just my general rule of thumb. The 1950 is just the average working hours of a person in the UK. If you're living to your means, then you have to do the menial tasks. Doing the menial tasks saves you money. Money that you probably need. But if you have a fastlane mentality and/or...

    Double Your Productivity

    Delegate work. My rule is, profit divided by 1950 is my standard hourly wage if I work a standard 7.5 hours a day. For example, just one of my investments provides £400,000 a year passive income, thats £205 an hour. I pay my PA around £15 an hour + perks, and she deal with that and ALL...

    Owning vs Renting (not real estate)

    HOT! 
    This is very interesting to me. Leasing and renting to me usually works out more expensive in the long run than buying 100% outright. But, using my cars as an example, I own 1 car, but lease 2 others. The only reason I even own my DB9 is because it's a fully customisable car in the sytle I...

    3d tv??

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've currently got 3D on one of my computers through Nvidia 3D vision. When I first used it, I thought it was a good idea, but to be honest i got slightly bored of it. The hastle of wearing glasses, making sure the batteries are charged up and fiddling with settings just isn't that fun once...

    MJ is offering free mentoring!!!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    To be honest I've been quite impressed by some of the users of this forum and their ability to work, put the effort in, and learn from those around them. This post gives those that don't do that a swift kick up the backside to get them into the right sort of mind. If you've got time to kill...

    2010 Bugatti Veyron

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There was a Veyron in my local Garage when I went in about two months ago. The owner had knackered the bodywork whilst taking it on a track day. The cost of the bodywork replacement? The Garage had been quoted £120,000 for a replacement. Oh my...

    Anybody interested in investing $10k to make $25k?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I only just opened up this thread wondering what was going on here. I ignored his original PM to me as spam, and curiosity got the better of me. As some people will know I am an investor in start-ups and expansions. An Angel investor if you will. To quote St.John: "The thing is, I don't feel...

    Business entity, insurance, etc.

    Every single one of my investments is set up as a separate Ltd Company (Very similar to an LLC in the US). Should something go terribly wrong the company can only be sued to it's worth, and should it go bankrupt your private assets are safe. There are problems if this happens such as being...
