    AUD or USD? Help!

    I may be dumbing this down for you (apologies if this is the case), but please know that there is a difference between citizenship and residency. Either way, Italian residency is probably not much better than Australian residency. It can however, open the door to Swiss residency, if the idea of...

    AUD or USD? Help!

    As an Australian resident if you are a sole shareholder or if majority of shareholders are in Australia (eg: yourself and your wife), it will likely be considered a CFC, so you will be taxed in Australia under your personal taxation. If you want to reduce your tax burden as an Aussie and you...

    Web Developing (Yay or Nay?)

    Thanks for your reply! Seems that retainers could have been a game changer, though I can see what you mean by clients wanting to work with you specifically. If you were doing it again would you have designed the agency in a way that would make it easier to sell?

    Web Developing (Yay or Nay?)

    @codo3500 have you considered selling the agency rather than "offloading" clients?

    Web Developing (Yay or Nay?)

    What you have suggested is a great exercise, but unless you have an uncanny natural ability and a huge amount of drive, chances are it won't end up making you a lot of money. What it could do however, is help you to learn new skills and about a new industry which you can use for future businesses.

    0 Income to 6 Figures Overnight

    LANDFILL 
    Legitimate question: Did you make the 5 figures overnight, in one month, 5 figures per month for consecutive months, or 5 figures per month for 12 consecutive months totaling 6 figures in the year?

    Rigged For The Rich?

    HOT! 
    You're preaching to the choir @OldFaithful, but I'm not one to try and change current systems. I do not see a libertarian world in my future (the opposite in fact), so while I can accept the things I listed out, I cannot accept "universal vacations" or "universal college education". RE: taxes...

    Rigged For The Rich?

    HOT! 
    Food. Water. Shelter. Basic education. Basic health care. I can support these on being somewhat realistic things to provide to everyone. Vacations and college educations a universal right? Not in a world I want to live in. A girl I knew received a breast enlargement to help with her low...

    Any Facebook Page Owners That Make Money ?

    MARKETING 
    Keep it simple! 1. Build audience. 2. Push them to whatever your "goal" is. The goal could either be your website selling products, subscription, affiliate sales, etc. ...if anyone is interested in a FB car niche page with 25,000 likes (never paid a cent) and great engagement, enquire within. ;)

    They didn't give me product for free. I provided them value in the form of a very optimized website in exchange for their product. Costs are laid out in the first post.

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    If you use Facebook for work and use Google Chrome check out the News Feed Eradicator extension. I'm not affiliated but it's so effective I have to recommend it.

    Why does everyone want to get there so fast?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Brilliant post Bill! This year I have hit that "wealthy" mentality. We only have one sensible car, still rent (a modest apartment), etc, in an effort to build the "freedom fund". We'll get some more luxuries in a few years but in our current situation we never stress over the cost of a dinner...

    A question to experienced sellers (not only FBA, but eCommerce and even retail): what is more important to you? Volume/cashflow or profit margin? Do you purchase smaller quantities and sacrifice the margins? Or prefer to hold more inventory in the search for profits?

    Did it ever just feel more reachable?

    Sounds as though you might get some value out of finding out what your clients/customers want? It's important to know what you want, but the market doesn't care about that. If cashflow is a problem, maybe you need to offer more value in your product/services?

    22, Australia, plenty ideas - no execution.

    IDEA 
    Law idea: Become a tax lawyer for "digital nomads". You can scale the shit out of company formations. As you build your knowledge and skill, your consulting company (now employing educated slowlaners) can consult to multinationals thanks to your experience in creating and maintaining structures...

    It doesn't feel like home anymore

    PEOPLE 
    While I absolutely advocate going out and finding the perfect place for you (there is no actual perfect place), a few things you mentioned remind me of my younger self so I figure it's worth challenging your thoughts: If you've "done everything" or are bored, it's not the location, it's...

    Too basic!? I'm having trouble getting back to providing less services rather than more. Most of my clients want the "full stack" of marketing, but you and I both know you can't be an expert in everything, not to mention it becomes increasingly hard to scale when you offer 25 different services...
