    As a busy entrepreneur do you struggle with staying in shape?

    HEALTH 
    Hi! As for losing weight, I've lost about 20 pounds in 2 years, doing basically nothing. I just try to eat half the amount I used to, I weight myself every day up in order not to have bad "surprises", and I go for a long walk/jog (about 15 km) once a week or once every two weeks. Apart from that...

    Hello from a 15 years old guy :D

    INTRO 
    Hi @Levin, it's really good to be so focused at such a young age. The younger you start learning, the higher your chances are of being able to retire at a younger age than most. Not sure about your position about the social care system. I think you rely too much on it, and this might hinder...

    Had FTE Moment, Scared Shitless, But Going In Anyway...

    FTE INTRO 
    I loved the comparison MJ and others make that over measuring makes as little sense as "waiting for all the traffic lights to be green to turn on your car engine", or that you can't steer the wheel of a parked car. I lost many years over-analyzing and avoiding action, and not just in business...

    How do/did you become passionate about entrepreneurship without a big FTE?

    HOT! MINDSET FTE 
    Hahaha It was a process for me. There were many times where I chose to deviate from the scripted way of life. I was the typical kid that did nothing in class and got As, so I had been told many times that I could do whatever I wanted in life if I started working hard. The moment I chose to...

    Should we combat climate change?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I completely agree ith @Ernman . Humanity as a species is no different from any other organism or system (even a business, or the whole capitalist system, even a communist system as well). It takes energy from the environment and consumes it in order to multiply itself so it can take more...

    Silicone Molds? Who to contact/get foot in door for creating samples

    I normally charge 20€/hour, even though I'm trying to raise it a bit to 25 or 30, but I'm having some trouble, because it's difficult to raise the price to regular customers. A small sculpture can be between 7 to 15 hours of work, so about 200€. A prototype for an industrial piece might be a...

    Silicone Molds? Who to contact/get foot in door for creating samples

    Yeah I understand, making molds looks easy but there are plenty of procedural details and tricks that are learned over the years. If you want I could help you with the prototype and master mold, I do that kind of work on a regular basis, so I could send you the master mold for your production...

    Silicone Molds? Who to contact/get foot in door for creating samples

    OK @WHY , if you just want to make a mold out of an existing cup that makes eveything easier. That "grey resin" would be epoxy, but keep in mind that most resins are transparent so the colours are not indicative of any characteristic. I would use epoxy resin for te final mold previous to...

    Time management: How stopping setting goals improved my productivity and happiness.

    EXECUTION 
    Ok guys, I just saw a thread about feeling bad when not being productive. I've always struggled with productivity myself, so I thought I'd share the method I've been using for some years. For a long time, time management has been one of my biggest struggles. My job (comission sculptures) has...

    Silicone Molds? Who to contact/get foot in door for creating samples

    Ok, so as I see it, the main problem to solve is making sure the design actually folds the way you want. I'd make a sculpture of the piece using an oil-based clay (monster clay works best for me), then make a two -part mold. You should repeat the process until you find the adequate shape and...

    Opinions for my new business idea. Tell me what you think.

    IDEA 
    I'm with most here. As one of the important stuff to learn in business is discretion, I wouldn't wear a shirt that told of who I am or what intentions I have to people I don't know. During my process as an entrepreneur, 1. I wore paint stained or holed clothes. As an artist they were my...

    Guilty conscience when not working on business – what to do

    MINDSET 
    I'll elaborate on another post, but you can set a limit of weekly work hours (let's say 40). You then keep track of every work hour, using a weekly planner that has the days separated by hours. On friday, you add up all the hours. Do they reach more than 40? if so, you can slack/go out/treat...

Do you want to create a hard cup in a hard material (glass, ceramic, plastic) from a silicone mold? Or you want to create a soft, silicone cup? A good...
