    College helped me socialize.

    Not answering directly to Mr @GrumpyCat here, but for those of you that took my answer as too simplistic, sarcastic or not serious. So those who need a more detailed answer to take me serious: I spent 2.5 years, one in the top engineering school of Portugal, and another in the top Management...

    @Elizabeth Shi @Hong King Kong @Walter Hay I'm about to book a trip to China but I don't know what kind of Visa to apply to... The correct one would be the business visa, but they ask for invitation letters with detailed plan, and I plan on visiting many suppliers... I could get the...

    Going all in?

    MINDSET 
    Lets say you start a venture with 10k, and suddenly you're profiting 50% of what you pour in in, every month, and it's scalable. You're 90% sure of it, and the other 10%, you could still pull most of your money out (lets say, inventory that could be sold etc). Wouldn't you pour atleast 500k$...

    Uber - You Can't Cheat The Process, Nothing Is Built Overnight

    Same in Portugal, and they don't even have UberPOP in here, only UberX and UberBlack with licenced drivers. Previously, these drivers did services like hotel/airport transfers, corporate stuff, and even the average joe could request them but for long rides only. Now, because Uber facilitates...

    @Walter Hay , getting some problems with my supplier, mainly damaged product. I've tracked down one of the two "hubs"/cities were my product is manufactured, almost all factories on sourcing websites are from these two cities, one is a "small" city, really heavily based on this product, the...

    Arbitrage as digital nomad

    MINDSET 
    Could you briefly explain why ? Is this something specific to the UK? I'm certain lots of Portuguese emigrants maintain PT bank accounts with residence somewhere else. I will have to set up something similar to your UK couple clients as I still need an EU business to handle VAT related stuff...

    Facebook Is Now Worth More Than Walmart!

    MARKETING 
    Not sure I agree. FB is a platform. FB isn't the store in the mall, it's the mall itself, and the biggest f*cking mall in the world. They provide quality traffic, with an awesome platform for advertisers, their optimization algos are getting better and better. And Instagram advertising is...

    Earning money from religion, is it ethical?

    Glad we agree on it then. (Although not exactly the same, is the same kind of though and why I define myself as Agnostic) Theist: "Do you believe in God?" Ignostic: "What is 'God'?"

    Earning money from religion, is it ethical?

    Right. Because ethics must all come from religion, there no such thing as common sense. I think the question is: "How do you define something un-ethical, with-out looking at religious institutions" (Not bashing directly on any religious person in here, I just find it funny how people tend to...

    Minimizing delays with Chinese Suppliers

    Sweet reminder. I'm also wondering their piss-off level, even tho they are the ones at fault most of the times, I'm still afraid of being too stubborn and pissing them off. But that would probably at western standards... ("there was a video here on the forum about a guy from UK, the kitchen...

    China Stay - How To Make the Best Out of It

    你好，Gecko, now would be a great time to find a good product to manufacture/import, being there you just hop in a train/plane and go to the city where most of the factories are for your product. Doing that over Alibaba and sourcing with-out being there to inspect is painful, really painful. 谢谢

    Brits get rich in China

    This is what happens when you come in selling something for 100$ when people next door are getting them from the factory/wholesalers at 200$ . This guy is a beast doing business in China, the way he built his supply chain is amazing. If he had the same skills for management & operations he...
