    SUCCESS STORY: LondonLife

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Similar laws here Cat Man Du, this was a new problem post the original sale agreement but before contracts were signed. It was a grey area and could easily have decended into lawyers delaying the sale further and creating a bigger problem than needed. Anyway, I am hoping it's all sorted now...

    building my first website, any tips?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Dreamweaver is hard to get right on it's own as a beginner, especially if you use the front end. It appears very easy to use at first, but you could end up hopelessly lost with with crap unefficient messy code that search engines will have fits over. Knowledge of coding is invaluable to...

    SUCCESS STORY: LondonLife

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Well I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't. I got these properties below their true value because the current owner needed the liquid capital. They require significant refurbishment, and with this refurb, estimates on immediate profit were I to sell them are in the region of 30% profit...

    SUCCESS STORY: LondonLife

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I just found out the apartment building isn't sealed from the elements properly due to a dodgey roof (I already knew about this bit). There is some serious fungal growth beginning to grow on the plaster boards of some of the apartments. If it gets any worse I've been told by the council that...

    Would you pay $5.00 for more?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Agree completely with Eastwind, good deals are great but this appears tricksy to some people. I would see that deal and wonder what the catch was and why it was been done. Paying for a discount requires people to work out in their head how much they'd save and if it was worth it. People...

    Where to put 15K?

    Don't tie it up anywhere. Keeping it in a high yield account with instant access is the only way you'll get it back exactly when you need it. $15K is a good starting amount to get a website, domains etc off the ground so you'll be in a better situation than alot of people who are just...

    Passion, Peak Experiences, Maslow and Life!

    MINDSET 
    I actually sat and read this a couple of times. It makes perfect sense to me... It links perfectly with my views in the "Can money make you happy?" debate. The peak experiences represent those achievements and desires that are opened up due to money, and maintain your happiness. Without...

    How do you determine your discretionary income?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I was a probably viewed as a miser until I sold my company given my net worth. I withdrew £100 a week cash to cover daily expenses, food, drink, beer etc. I only purchased stuff when I needed it, but when I did, I purchased high quality above anything else. If I wanted a £15 pizza and I'd...

    Info on Texas for a quick trip...things to do?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think the plan is now just for a quick road trip to New Orleans as a couple of friends, also from the UK, are going to join me. Also going to head to Austin as I heard the live music scene is good down there. Mexico will have to wait.

    Money Can't Buy Happiness!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Although it's true it doesn't buy you happiness it does remove many of the shackles that bring unhappiness. I've had high stress in the past due to high mortgage repayments, bills I couldn't afford, and debt hanging over my head. This also impacted my social and personal life in a negative...

    What's with the Lamborghini obsession?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I must admit it's nice to get the odd smile or nod in your direction, but in my experience (Perhaps due to the fact us Brits are a bit too reserved at times), the most vocal are definately the, "Rich kid!", "Daddy got someone a car!" drunk hecklers. I much more prefer the anonymous lifestyle...

    Info on Texas for a quick trip...things to do?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Maybe a road trip to New Orleans and Biloxi is on the cards then. What's the gambling in Biloxi like? Never really heard of it except in passing to be honest. Is it all terrible Vegas style 6:5 Blackjack, or is their a chance of real games out there? Are the casinos good quality? Good...

    Info on Texas for a quick trip...things to do?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I just got a last minute invite to Dallas, Texas, in a couple of days time for the wedding of a business acquaintance and for a couple of meetings. Having never been to that part of the states before I was considering hiring a car and hitting the road in order to clear my head and get away...

    First Drive: 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

    5 weeks in I've gone from being retired to owning £5,400,000 in property as my next project. Hopefully the next 5 weeks won't be quite so eventful...

    Naming a product

    I'd brand them 'Thor' Thor being the Norse god of lightning, and associated with traits such as trust, protection and strength.

    Life Reflection: Best Returns of Time

    I lived the last 12 years of my life reasonably frugally so spending too much money wasn't an issue. UP until 6 months ago I hadn't spent anything on luxury items. The only expensive thing I owned was my house. For example my cars: Old Rover 200 > 3 years without a car during my down patch...

    thinking of giving away equity, please comment.

    I would personally never give away equity unless someone was investing into the business or bringing significant clients with them and requested equity. I share alot of equity in alot of businesses as an investor and have first hand experience of how it can go seriously wrong unless you have...
