    [Personal Freelance Journal] Starting on Niche Freelance Consulting Work

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Another update: I've started learning about business structures, and I've contacted an accountant for consulting services about inquiring into setting up the business entity, as well as learning about the financial responsibilities which that entails. I will then be working backwards to...

    [Personal Freelance Journal] Starting on Niche Freelance Consulting Work

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    An update: There's an expected waiting period to see if we can actually go forward with this. Upon reflection, I've noticed that I utilize my free time differently than what I used to. I went from playing games, wasting time etc, to trying to write a guidebook (mostly). In my Intro I think...

    Welding business failure

    EXECUTION 
    Shortened to save some forum viewing space. It's just an observation, but it looks like you've essentially attached inconvenience to the process. Those whose issue outweighs the inconvenience will fill that form whereas the EZ-beggars won't. Simple, yet effective!

    Welding business failure

    EXECUTION 
    I sincerely hope you find advice on the things that you are currently lacking in. The only thing that I can say is this: FRIENDS (real ones) don't and won't accept your hard work being done for anything else other than your asking price. As for your "failure", you don't fail until you quit...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Upon reflection, I have a question to ask the forum: The above endeavor entails me and a good friend of mine to get into this business. In theory, I can do all of this solo, but at a significant time and resource cost. Without me bogging you down with specifics, my question is this: Have you...

    Thank you for your replies! From what I read most doesn't apply to the market I'll be doing business in, but it was a great insight overall. @jpn is absolutely right. I am worrying about things that are irrelevant at this point. Cyprus is a well-established place to build a business in. Tons of...

    I'll offer my own 2 cents on all of this. Even if you feel like you're not in the right mindset (3B's) or even have a goal (MP) PROCEED ANYWAY. EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, YOU HAVE A VERY CLEAR PICTURE OF WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP. Driving is equal...

    Following @monfii . I have great respect for what you're trying to do in this thread, which also rang a bell imediately, since I thought "Things are indeed done different in the US". I do want to start something (that I coincidentally just posted here) and I'm so glad to have caught this being...

    I've been listening to Unscripted again, and something dawned on me. I have domain experience in a niche field, and I am actively getting paid to tackle a problem. Through systemizing this procedure, I can scale my income (still bound to time though) and in the future I could turn it into a...

    [Suggestion] Option to choose the color of the highlight tool

    I've noticed something that I think would help a lot of people around. When writing text (specifically in the tread section, not the title section) and for whatever reason I want to choose a block of text, the outline is light cream, which makes it nearly impossible to see If you can see...

    Habits of the Unscripted

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hello everyone! I've been on a weird spot lately to be honest, party due to working on my thesis, and partly due to feeling down about the way the world's going at the moment. I'll freely admit i've produced little to no tangible work all this time. It's kinda come as a shock that the scripted...

    Working on Multiple Businesses vs Focusing on One.

    I didn't consider it that way. I thought it was less synergistic than originally thought. I was under the impression that you were talking about medical equipment. Again, thank you for your time and detailed responses!

    Habits of the Unscripted

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This time, I won't add a habit per se, but rather an observation that could lead to a habit: Opening up the TV is akin to inviting someone over to your living room to sell/ lecture you Some context: I was away on deployment, as mentioned in my Intro, and when it finished I decided to spend...

    Working on Multiple Businesses vs Focusing on One.

    MINDSET 
    Would you consider it more of a tangential business though? You're selling a different product to a different market. The process of setting it up might be similar, but the demographics are completely different. And on that note: How did you decide it was a good time to start a third business...

    Thank you for your insight! In this (potential) case, they're not synergistic at all. Not even on the same field. By this point a mindset pivot is needed, and so I will have to perform one. If you don't mind me asking, what was your thought process in identifying the need for a business in your...

    Working on Multiple Businesses vs Focusing on One.

    Is this part anything like the "time blocks" mentioned in "Atomic Habits" by James Clear? By this point in my life I've formed the impression that people who know what they're talking about arrive in similar conclusions, but through different scopes.

    EDIT: I want to thank everyone for their honest and very intriguing feedback. I took some time to process what you all have posted. At this point, the following seem to be clear: Focus on one business at a time Focus is much more efficient when applied to one thing at a time "The One Thing" is...

    MJ's Unscripted Entrepreneurial Network Query!

    I thought about sending a message myself, but my radio and communications background from my time in the army informed my choice, due to understanding carrier limitations, like MJ describes on the previous post. Damn shame too. But it's not the end of the world
