    Rigged For The Rich?

    HOT! 
    Whenever I look at a situation I try and find the opportunity. I don't think "the game is rigged" to the extremes that some defeatist individuals do, but let's say it is. If you navigate the system, work your a$$ off and get rich. BOOM. The system is now rigged for you.

    You're selling the wrong product (4 mins)

    MARKETING 
    I really appreciate this Andy. I have been selling my business' services hard over the last few months while trying to replace "me" with others. It's been chaotic but your video reminds me I'm on the right track. Congrats on your achievements so far. Hmmm, and I do need some AdWords experts!

    Rigged For The Rich?

    HOT! 
    The more I meet wealthy people, the more I realise that their success is due to a lack of psychological limits than intelligence. Is the game rigged? Maybe, but you can still play it better than others, while being nowhere near as smart. EDIT: I have actually watched the video. I was jetlagged...

    How does Britain possibly leaving the EU effect the world?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As a spectator, it's been interesting to watch. My general assumption is that the world is heading into a very socialist period. Watching many friends/acquaintances act like children over something they have spent 42 minutes "researching" has backed this up. But these are also the same people...

    Unfortunately, I disagree that you have to be very good. haha But yes, if you want to do well you should always be at the top of your game. What sort of software development do you do then?

    UPC Codes or Brand Registry on Amazon?

    EXECUTION 
    I have never used a UPC code. Pay the $40mo, get brand registry (convince them using your website or something else) and upload using the spreadsheet.

    Hey Adrian. If you don't know what to do, keep coding. You're in an industry with demand, so learn as much as you can and begin to move away from the 9-5. I know some very successful "quick slowlaners" that work ~25 hours a week on serious money. Though that might not be the end game for you, it...

    How does Britain possibly leaving the EU effect the world?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This whole scenario to me spells the importance of diversification and internationalization. Immigration laws can change, economic policy can change, societies will change. In a dream scenario, I'd have passports in multiple countries, assets in multiple currencies and countries, companies with...

    Paying offshore freelancers

    PEOPLE 
    If Paypal is an issue for the contractor, the onus is on them to make it easier. They can try and setup Stripe, Braintree, etc. Wire transfer (but depending on what amounts you are transferring may be a large %)

    Why You Should Never "Grow Up"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Agreed. I can already see parenting to be the biggest challenge in my life (hopefully a few years off yet). You know those parents that say "don't do that", the kid asks why and they reply with "because I said so". I get it, it's what you do when you're tired, but it's not teaching them...

    Crab Mentality: The Startup Killer (And the cure)

    Maybe it is worse in Ireland, maybe it isn't. I am from Australia and it exists there. Being an expat allows you to not only move location but find a new social circle without cutting ties. Done right it's a powerful tool - you can be your true, new self and your new friends and colleagues...

    Great post Supa and awesome quote. Lots of truth to it for the education system in many countries!

    Crab Mentality: The Startup Killer (And the cure)

    Well said. I find you can "normalize" the stories to make everything sound less impressive. For example, when I tell people I travelled I remind them that I was working 3/4 of the time.

    How to fix your posture by doing a 5 minute exercise each day!

    HEALTH 
    Been doing this for about a year now and it's worked. Working on mid to upper back mobility nowadays. Lifting weights is good but it's not enough to offset the desk time!

    Offshore for added protection?

    I'd say it could be worth setting one up if I was saying those types of things.
