    Introducing a loser

    INTRO 
    Hello here from a fellow 30 year old who also lives with his parents, also kinda broke (making less than 400$ a month), and also a creative that doesn't quite find how to live from art. MJ says it in Unscripted: You don't need to be doing what you were genetically predisposed: Just adding value...

    Going Fastlane

    I don't know about coding myself, but I meant jumping straight into doing it. Taking action, leaving behind the "plans in a piece of paper" stage. I'm doing that with my youtube channel: the videos are not perfect but I'm learning a lot while creating them. and I'm making them better on the way.

    Going Fastlane

    from my experience I'd say, don't separate studying java from programming a game. Learn java as you program, find problems in the process, solve them, keep going. But don't use studying to evade yourself from actually creating and sharing your creation (even if it's not finished). Welcome to the...

    Does she have any experience with nail designs, painting different stuff, etc? She could try doing christmas gifts, the time of the year is in her favour. Doesn't need to have good drawing skills, just a good eye with colour, designs, geometry... all that can work. Add some short christmas...

    Any books/resources on developing a dominant behaviour?

    PEOPLE 
    Hi guys, I'm looking specifically on any resource to develop a dominant attitude/behaviour or stop submissive body language, towards developing agressiveness, etc. Long story short, I'm happy and successful (at least from my own standards). I can be a sweet, caring and healthy partner, I have...

    What's the MOST amount of money that you've made in a day? (With Your Business)

    HOT! 
    About 5k for a single comission sculpture, but it was a process of discussing it wth the clients for a long time. Also, it was paid in different payments, and made later in a long process... Great posts above, a great source of inspiration!

    Why is there not more healthy fast food chains?

    HOT! 
    In Barcelona there are a couple healthy fast-food places. They're called Veritas and Nostrum (I suppose the latin names connect to the mediterranean diet. They basically sell packaged dishes for either 1€, 2€, or 3€. So you can have a full meal for less than 10€ (the usual daily menu here is...

    Whats the point of life?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Even though I'm an atheist, I'm very transcendental, and I've been thinking about purpose for a long time. Here are the conclusions I've reached so far: Goodness is a thing. You can define good as something that makes beings feel better than before, and evil as the actions that make beings...

    How much are/were you making at your slowlane job?

    HOT! SLOWLANE 
    I'm 30. At my school teacher job, I'm making about 13-15€/hour (fixed by the government). With my art commissions, I've been trying for a couple years to set a 20€ hourly rate, even though I still get my fingers burned every now and then, due to budget miscalculations. I'm now aiming to raise my...

    Are there any artists here? How did you find balance without giving up your art?

    Yes! I mean, non-artists have our skills in high regard. Many people have told me what I can do with clay feels like "magic" to them. That's an incredible value that not many artists are aware of possessing. You can also enter a related field and put yourself over competitors instantly...

    Are there any artists here? How did you find balance without giving up your art?

    I can offer some thoughts: 1. A LOT OF people are trying to live from art. That is a direct violation of the entry commandment from the CENTS. But you can profit from that, by trying to build a business oriented to aspiring musicians; you already might know many potential clients and their...

    Basically I've been running a small business for 6-7 years (I'm a sculptor, i make trophies and theatre scenery). My business development has been very slow, mainly because I have difficulties getting out of my confort zone. Here you can read a bit about me...

    Spanish Millionaire

    INTRO 
    Hola! Yo también soy español, de Barcelona! You've got a great routine set up. That discipline will help you a lot later on. I'd reccommend using some of your reading time (6 hours a day is a lot) to start doing real stuff. Flipping stuff (buying and reselling it), for example, is very helpful...

    How do I avoid "free-riding" SEC violation if day trading?

    INVESTING 
    If you buy on Monday and you sell on Tuesday that's not counted as a day trade. Day trades need to be bought and sold the same day. If it's a margin account, you don't have to wait. Not sure for the regular account though.

    Ethical Debate on Product Creation

    What about doing it together? can you help them distribute their product? Maybe share the benefits? That way it's a win-win. Edit: I'm not sure about how patents work, but with artistic copyright issues, the piece doesn' need to be registrated by the author for him to claim the property of it...

    I'm David, a sculptor from Barcelona

    INTRO 
    I should definitely explore that. I have the ability to create very accurate portraits, both in painting and sculpture. I've been thinking for a long time about making portraits of famous people (TV hosts, singers) which would give me a lot of exposure. I'm thinking more of a Bad Dragon...

    A pastry chef with bigger dream

    I agree with @MJ DeMarco , the main problem would be that they are delicate. But probably the guys who will offer them are not the instrument players themselves, but they have it sitting at home as a decoration piece. One of the problems could be someone "renting" the instrument and...
