Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETI'm trying hard to motivate myself with the possibility of earning enough from my business to move or spend more time in a sunnier climate but it can be difficult. I do the school run with the kids of a morning, i see the same guy walking the same stretch of road towards his place of work, I...- Paul David

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETThanks for your reply. Perhaps you are correct. I do however feel that even if i did have more money i wouldn't really be living my life any different here. Sure you'd have maybe a bigger house or nicer car, clothes etc. The fundamental problems are still there for me. Unless your happy to...- Paul David

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETI feel like i'm slowly dying in the UK. The light nights are now starting to show and this winter hasn't even been that cold but it's really beginning to get me down. I seen a weather bulletin the other day which said monsoon type weather to batter the UK in March. Fantastic. Groundhog day...- Paul David

Amazon Is Not Your Route To The Fastlane
I've been suspended on 3 Amazon sites for factors outside my control. I have got them reinstated. I've never generated a profit from my website due the costs of Adwords and low sales prices. I do now however sell on 6 different Amazon sites and eBay uk. If one of these channels go down for a...- Paul David

HOT! MINDSETHi Walter Yes the products failed an En 60950 safety test. I also think you're correct in that because they failed once I've been flagged again by uk trading standards. Now I know what test it is, I have sent off a couple of adapters from a new supplier to the same testing lab uk customs use...- Paul David

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETHa yes very true. Although not warm enough if this is anything to go by! Taken from a Gibraltar forum! "Weather is generally mild in comparison to the UK, but don’t come expecting radiant sunshine and hot weather year round. Gibraltar is often cloudy, rainy, and only warm/hot for about five...- Paul David

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETFortunately for Americans the USA is large enough to be able to move to a sunnier climate inside the same Country. I'm quite aware that the distances between the hot and cold parts can be quite large but surely it's easier relocating and not having to learn a new language, new government...- Paul David

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETDid you have any friends or family in Valencia when you moved? As other people have pointed out in this thread it's not just the weather or way of life to think about. It's also leaving friends and family behind that's also got to be considered!- Paul David

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETYes I would certainly learn Spanish if I went there. My children are 6 and 8. Not sure how it would affect their long term development by moving them now. I go to Benidorm once a year with my friends for a lads holiday. It's certainly not the place for children! Ha. My wife's friends live...- Paul David

I've got to fire my brother.
HOT! MINDSETThanks for your reply. Yes our profit margins can be tight unfortunately. I do however understand where you are coming from and when i've been working between 8pm-12 i've been spending that time writing out step by step guides for every task in my business. I've even been testing them on my 8...- Paul David

I've got to fire my brother.
HOT! MINDSETSo i thought i'd provide an update as to where i am at the moment. We've just come through the difficult Chinese New Year period. I knew i didn't have enough money to order enough stock to see us through the Chinese New Year when all factories shut down for basically 3-4 weeks. I did however...- Paul David

For example - I have 150 products within the same niche, I would like to make 20% profit from the sales price ex tax. So if i sell...- Paul David

Biggest lesson from 15 years in business
Neither did i at the start and that's the same for a lot of entrepreneurs. Set a target, go out and do whatever it takes to bring in profit and when you've reached your target hire your first employee. Pass as much of the 'in' work on to them and then spend more time doing the 'on' work...- Paul David

Biggest lesson from 15 years in business
I'm not saying don't do those things i'm saying that across a period of time those sort of tasks should only take up 20% of your time, the other 80% should be spent doing higher value tasks. In an ideal business 100% of your time would be spent doing nothing in your business whilst it continues...- Paul David

Biggest lesson from 15 years in business
Thats all fine and dandy if you've established your business up to that point but if you're not then you MUST focus on the things that directly generate profit so that you can then at a later date afford to pass that onto your employees. However as Andy said above that doesn't happen overnight...- Paul David

Biggest lesson from 15 years in business
The listings only take minutes to create as i have streamlined the process. The part that takes the time is knowing what charger is compatible with a particular laptop or device. I am currently writing a training manual for this so it can be outsourced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Paul David

The book also goes into depth about ensuring your instructions and outcomes you are expecting are as clearly defined as possible. Sent...- Paul David
