    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    Week Six Progress Report As mentioned in the post above, I was in transit between Canada and Malaysia for three days last week (due in part to a substantial layover in Hong Kong), so between packing and actually travelling, it wasn't an optimal week for productivity on my product's development...

    "Jurney" would be a cool name for an app that helps hikers plan trips.

    EXECUTION 
    Week Five Progress Report I had more motivation than I anticipated during Week Five and put in some really solid work on one day in particular. I did prioritize spending time with family and friends, however, since it was my last week in North America for a while and I wanted to make the best...

    EXECUTION 
    Week Four Progress Report I had 3 very productive days last week, but 2 others were kept busy with travelling to a different country and some meetings when I got there. All in all, I'm pretty happy with what I got done. Week Five Goals I'm not going to set any specific goals this week...

    Is Dave Ramsey your typical slowlane guru?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    With both business and personal finance, a crucial skill is being able to differentiate between an asset and a liability. No, that brand new car is not an asset. No, that business loan for a "great idea" that hasn't been validated yet is going to strangle you.

    Working Full-Time For 6 Months on my HR Training Products Business (Execution Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    I've created the opportunity to "leave the building," so to speak, by putting product samples in front of a variety of people from my target customer group and getting their off-the-cuff feedback. I did this in several different ways as I was building the product, including posting online ads...

    EXECUTION 
    Week Three Goals: This week is more of the same. I'm making steady progress with the work I am doing, so I am just sticking with the same routine. Although there's a lot of work still to do, the progress I've made the last two weeks are giving making having a finished product seem very real and...

    Offline Business Ideas. Is Online Business Oversaturated?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    True. Your post only references both a small fraction of offline business options and a small fraction of online business options, and therefore, your question is set up to be a false dichotomy. The available choices are not between starting an HVAC company or a marketing/web design agency...

    Can I get paid via IBAN/Swift as a freelancer?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Have you looked up setting up an LLC in Wyoming? Get that set up (it'll take a few weeks at the most if you don't already have an SSN) and then use that to set up a business bank account, from which you can set up Stripe or other payment processors. Then just periodically wire the money your...

    EXECUTION 
    Background Last Friday was my last day at my corporate management job. In the previous three and a half years I worked two different jobs (for about 20-22 months each) that significantly expanded my professional experience, got my student loans paid off, and allowed me to save up enough money...

    Taking a ride in the slow lane -- and it's been great!

    I made it! Yesterday was my last day of work at my day job. I'm spending the weekend resolving my affairs here in Beijing and on Monday I fly off to see family for the first time since the initial COVID outbreak. A week from now, I'll be focused full-time on getting my fledgling business up and...

    Taking a ride in the slow lane -- and it's been great!

    1. I needed to get out of my current job ASAP (for a variety of reasons). If I wasn't quitting to launch my business, I'd be aggressively job hunting instead. 2. I have enough money saved up for at least 6 months of living expenses. I'm fine with job hunting again. I'd just rather do that 4-5...

    Taking a ride in the slow lane -- and it's been great!
