    The Next Big Value Skew: "Made In USA"

    I feel like these labels are more important in export than in your home country, or at least that's the case for "Made in Italy", where it's a very strong value proposition...but not in Italy. Or rather, it is still valued, don't get me wrong, but definitely not as much as outside.

    Plan on moving to a start-up favorable country

    My post as with every post on this forum is not to be taken lightly, and you should question everything someone posts with a grain of salt, whether they are MJ, or a new user who just registered. It is up to your own critical judgment to decide whether or not you want to follow my advice...

    Plan on moving to a start-up favorable country

    If you can't start a business in your home country, what makes you think you'll be able to start one somewhere else? I am fully aware that Italy is a terrible place to conduct business in. To put it in perspective, in the index of economic freedom Italy barely reaches the "Moderately Free"...

    How do I learn how to talk?

    I was referring to my daily life. So yes, in Italian. When I do it in English (like when I travel) it comes way more naturally to me.

    How do I learn how to talk?

    I talked a bit with @Tourmaline and what changed my perspective the most is the reason for which people do small talk. I thought it was entirely pointless, but it turns out it's not. What he said that helped me put things in the perspective the most were the following questions: So now I have...

    Wearing a mask has been made obligatory in my region (Lombardy in Italy, the one that's been hit the most) when going outside. Also, thousands of people here are being fined every day for ignoring the lockdown. The numbers of daily new cases are starting to drop, although we are still...

    How do I learn how to talk?

    Terrific advice, thanks everyone! I'll put them in practice immediately at lunch time with my mom (the only person I can realistically talk to at the moment because of the quarantine). I will also get Chris Voss' book.

    How do I learn how to talk?

    You misread my post. I'm not just waiting for my turn to speak and then vomit words to please my ego. I am a very good listener, in fact, this issue of mine is probably why I'm one. Since I have to be thoughtful about what I need to say I need to consider what other people are saying, or I'd be...

    How do I learn how to talk?

    I like communication, and I like writing a lot, because it gives me time to really think over what I want to say. On the other hand, I absolutely loathe talking to other people, since I feel like my brain shuts off and I'm just spitting out words at a faster speed than I can think, which leads...

    Italy crossed the 10.000 deaths yesterday, and the virus is spreading in nursing homes now. It has been killing roughly around 600-700 people daily (consider that on average around 1.600-1.700 people die in Italy every day) for the past 10 days, and we've been on lockdown for a while.

    Business Ideas for the (emerging) stay-at-home Economy?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Yes! Valve (the video game company) just released a VR title, and I know that thousands of people have bought a VR headset for it. Those people had the money for a VR headset, and they definitely want to make use of it. Same goes for the other thousands of people who already owned one. It...

    I got written up today , but wish they had fired me.

    Do you need 2k worth of equipment to shoot talking head videos? I say start today with way less money, maybe register videos with your phone's camera or start with a simpler camera. The 2k will be spent at a later time if you will be able to monetize your YouTube content. In fact, you will want...

    I didn't read the last 5 or so pages because I just got online and I'm about to go to bed but to reiterate because some people clearly don't understand what's the real issue with the virus. Italy is one of the oldest countries in the world (up there with Japan), and so far here 2500 people have...
