    Finding Needs/Wants

    I prefer typeform over Google forms. The hard part is finding heavy smokers (not even those who want to quit or are stuck, just heavy smokers)

    9-5 is the modern evil

    RANT 
    Then why are there employers offering 32 hour work week? Why are there employers offering four days a week? That may have been true, but there's mounting evidence that it's no longer in the employers best interest. Look at the rise of gig work, how annualised hours was booming, once computers...

    O Sh*t! How I accidentally became unemployed, and what I'm doing about it.

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I wonder if charging a price they will not pay for the 'extras 'could be a way of avoiding these situations. This is also why I would dislike having 1 client.

    I'm curious to how you fastlaners would respond to a client who wants you to perform something outside your normal consulting duties or if they wanted you to do something unpleasant. Charge more money? Tell them that it means renegotiating your contract? Something else?

    9-5 is the modern evil

    RANT 
    Well, I was vauge to avoid running into Godwin's law but you meantioned the head of the national socialist party. The Zi in nazi stands for the German word for socialist. So it's jarring when Americans complain about it being left wing. Hitler is too left wing for you? Not being argumentative or...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    Luckily most Londoners don't speak American. Good luck with the conference call. I have got a few timezones I can exploit to keep the local hours the same, though it depends on where the clients I am servicing are and what time they want. Trying to figure out what extra value I can offer a...

    @ClaverCasley Is on to something there. Quitbit - The first smart lighter and app to track smoking People will pay more money than was asked for to get a product to help there. I wonder if there is a room in the market for a simpler or alternative solution.

    9-5 is the modern evil

    I'm not sure that assumption holds water, as I see thing like this. Boston woman wounded by train refuses ambulance: 'I can't afford that' Not to mention no end of gofundmes for Americans seeking treatment. Plenty of people whi want to reproduce who can not. (That came under the basic needs)...

    Non et non. :-) though it gives a good idea of the speed. It might be better for me going across the sea to Netherlands. I could always learn Dutch/German/French. Well the last thread, I felt was adding value for me, got thrown in there. I tagged it execution, because these were all my...

    9-5 is the modern evil

    RANT 
    Thing is there were facisist socialists so it's not really a contradiction form my terms. Trying to get back on track 9-5 Is really a 1950s thing (be it good or evil) not a modern one. I'm pretty sure that's the autobiography I was referring towards. He wouldn't have done it, if it didn't help...

    HOT! IDEA 
    I perhaps shouldn't have said move, but visit. Maybe it is easier for an American to get rich in the US, than a European to get rich in Europe.That is no excuse though. but everyone I've got verifiable advice form says go where the market is. Of course anyone serious will know better than...

    [RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Works well in Switzerland. Any employer that doesn't want to pay the minimum wage can always move there. A mass exodus would be a hell of a wake up call. Enjoy your prices that make Silicon Valley look affordable.

    Hi, I'm James, trying to find how do not chase only money.

    If that was true, then why does open source software exist? What is the motivation behind giving it away for free? What makes a value adder who charges money ,not a money chaser? What's a typical money chaser like?

    That's probably because I use the UK definition, not the American one. I'm guessing you used the American one. Compassionate Capitalism is not a bad description of Norway's model. What about if you found out Ford, was funding political parties who wanted to implement some form of...

    I'm sorry to hear that. This thread has really added value to me and perhaps to others. @Late Bloomer would you be okay to switch this to a conversation and see if we can add value to each other there? That way we don't have to worry about the thread being trashed.

    What Are Some Examples of High Income Skills?

    I think that kind of depends on the area(what is the going rate locally.) I wrote some machine learning stock picking software, but no one wants to buy that. Mind you there are a few and my copy sucks.

    Hi, I'm James, trying to find how do not chase only money.

    Hi I'm in the middle of nowhere too literally (a rural area) The issue, I have with adopting the midset is those can all be done for free. If people here really are about value add over Money chasing then why charge? If you code for open source software your value adding by filling a demand a...

    I missed this reply. Absolutely I would love this, if we define reasonable commute as 1 to 2 hours a day, then literally all I need is rent money. 10.20(about $14) or 8.75 (about $11) hourly at 40 hours a week depending on if I go south or north. Being a lodger Mon to Fri returning home each...

    That's what I've been trying to do. Maybe it's because I'm broadly intrested,maybe because I've no idea how to network and generate sales online.
