    Greetings from Switzerland

    INTRO 
    I'm glad to meet you Gunther! What a great introduction. I really like your use of photos to illustrate your story. I never heard of Mr. Kopmeyer. HOW does he say that you can achieve anything? Is it a book about positive thinking, or a book about practical plans and action steps and hard...

    Journey to absolute freedom. Start!

    EXECUTION 
    Very cool way to test the market demand! I don't have the link for it right now, but a while back I read some remarks by a guy who had a specialty pen company. He ordered the parts by the thousands, and paid some people in his local area to mindlessly slide and snap them together, taking a...

    If you had a check written out to you for $150,000

    I assumed it might be! Hypothetically speaking, if you might grab it, I wish you would please cut me in on the deal :rofl:

    If you had a check written out to you for $150,000

    Should be about the right amount to begin the HypotheticalQuestions.com Forum, the Internet's place where evidence and informed conversation are strictly forbidden, and all guesses are welcome!

    Embarrassing posts on various forums using real name.

    I recommend this as a new thread! Something like "How do I make new friends who support the kind of business and life I'd like to have?"

    Embarrassing posts on various forums using real name.

    You could also have suggested that using a pen name, he post on his own behalf. It's kind that you want to help your friends by offering advice they seem to need, but you also seem to have a knack for turning that kind desire into a crushing burden upon yourself. When my beloved needed...

    Embarrassing posts on various forums using real name.

    Many people have done dumb stuff while younger... for example, last week. In the modern Western world, second chances are often more possible than you might think. There are people who have been convicted and imprisoned for securities fraud, and yet were able to convince others to hand over...

    My Dilemma: Stay at Current Job/Or Take New Job at Startup

    MINDSET 
    After several experiences of crushed expectations, I changed my own rule in life to evaluate a job by what it definitely offers right now, not by what seems like the potential of some better future. I'll give you my thoughts from that point of view. Current job: Report to a forgetful jerk...

    Paid Virtual Phone Service vs 2nd Cell Line

    This one's really interesting for both the device, and the marketing. It looks like whichever sim is active, that's the only one where you get calls, texts and pictures, voice mail notification, or can log in to any accounts signing in from the number. To check the other side, you have to log...

    Books about finding business idea

    Thanks for the detailed rave review! I'll add this one to my must-read list!

    I've been a loser now I MUST find a solution! Any advice?

    It doesn't necessarily require a management role. Business Analyst, Sales Engineer, Technical Marketing, Program Manager (who doesn't actually manage anything, just writes specifications), are all roles where someone only needs to understand the software enough to have a conversation about what...

    I HATE Noisy Apartments

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I can sympathize with the original post. I have above average hearing sensitivity, which is great for playing music and running a mixing board, but awful for background noise or work environments with a lot of commotion. I live half a mile from the train tracks, with nothing between my window...

    Books about finding business idea

    IDEA 
    That's a new one to me. I can Google it of course, but what are the key highlights for you about this book?

    Books about finding business idea

    IDEA 
    MJ's books, Blue Ocean Strategy, and Lean Startup. They go together beautifully.

    Paid Virtual Phone Service vs 2nd Cell Line

    I'm going to watch this one to see what others have to say. Google Voice is handy for me to be able to give out a number separate from my personal number. There's a third option you didn't mention, a phone with dual SIMs. I'll want to see how others are handling this.

    I HATE Noisy Apartments

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    In places with lots of tourists, convention visitors, vacation home buyers etc. like Miami or Vegas, the apartments are often only 1/3 occupied on any particular night, unless there's a huge event in town. There can often be literally no one home at the adjacent units in all directions.

    Is the difficulty with focus, also present when you learn about dealing with people? When you read books, watch videos, have conversations about marketing, presentations, closing, customer service, etc. do you zone out after 20 minutes? Or is that only with code? Some people simply don't have...
