    Very interesting thread. Do any of you who have made this work (i.e. working for yourself / having a successful business) with a young family have any tips to deal with the lack of sleep or general exhaustion? Especially when you may be working a 9-5 initially. Once you do the family thing...

    Great story Andy. So will you coach me, so I can get started on the right foot? :)

    What's with the negativity?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ultimately, it's obvious that we're all different, which is a good thing! What works for one person, won't work for another. Even in some cases, what works for one person one day, does not necessarily work for the same person on a different day! We are constantly changing and evolving and in...

    My new boss just extended my probationary period!

    INTRO 
    Thanks, I will work on this. I think there's a good possibility. For example, I start off with a list of what to do. Then I start, and after 5 minutes, I skip off on a tangent and one thing leads to another. At the end of the day, I've achieved nothing on my list. Also, when people are...

    Yes, I'm starting to realise that! Reassuring to know I'm not the only one feeling so frustrated. I'll look forward to your further comments, if and when you have a chance. Thanks.

    Had to Google this! Lol Yes, it seems we have a lot in common. Really interested to learn that there's someone else here from Northern Ireland, never expected that!! There is a bit of Entrepreneurial spirit around, though I can't help but feel opportunities are limited. Maybe that's just my...

    Thanks for your comments. Very wise words. I agree that the mind is very powerful, and know that it’s something I need to work on. I feel overwhelmed regularly. I’ve taken up Mindful Meditation, trying to read more (though it’s entrepreneurial related books), build up an exercise routine, and...

    Poor financial planning and bad advice

    Came across this article on interest only mortgages here in the UK. Thought it might spark some interesting viewpoints: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34144333

    I didn't realise, just thought it was a cool name, with a good ring to it! I assumed that you could only use a pen name for fictional items.

    @eliquid I've read a few more of your blog posts, and found them very relevant, and well written. In fact I had a couple of questions I was going to post, then found the answers in your blog. Glad to say, I sat down last night and drew out on paper my daily plan for the week, in 30 min slots...

    Thanks for the advice, sounds like you're going through similar. I definitely need to shift my mindset and try to discover what the end goal is. Do you have a plan laid out to break free from your job?

    @eliquid - firstly, thanks for taking time out from your busy schedule to offer me some advice. I really appreciate it! You hit the nail on the head right here: I'm going to follow this advice below, and read your blog posts over the weekend. I'll come back with an update of how I got on...

    Thanks for your reply. It's all true, I assure you! I'm intrigued to hear that you resonate with my story so much! I read your intro, and it sounds like you've had a lot of success. Good job! I'd love to hear more about your story, especially how you turned it around. Actually, I never...

    Thanks for the likes and the comments! Makes me wish I'd written an intro sooner on this forum, rather than put it off for so long. I forgot how empathetic people can be, it's refreshing.... That would be nice! I backpacked for 6 months before and it was one of the best experiences ever...

    Let me start by saying, I’ve read the book. I just started re-reading it again last week. I’ve never read a book twice in my life……….ever! I’m very familiar with the forum, but have never posted an Intro and I feel this is as good a time as any. The title of this thread, although it wasn’t...

    Quick Hustle: How I made $2,000 on Teespring

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Is there any way to protect against an outsourced designer copying someone's design, that you would then be held responsible for? Anyone in the UK had success with Teespring?

    @ljb7 Thanks for the answers. The joys of full time work, with a 30 min lunch break! Nearest post office is 10-15 min each way, and queues at lunchtime are usually 5-10 deep. I can have someone else go for me on occasion, but not regularly. If I can find a profitable product, I'll make...
