    Lacking grit.........How do I fix it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My 2c worth (because a lot of people will tell you "just keep going" but can't coach you through your own personal sticking points): I personally think that holding this in mind (but "gently" - don't dwell on it too much, don't use it as a stick to beat yourself up with, don't make it part of...

    With regard to getting up very early, a recommendation from someone who's never been a morning person. I've found that this app (Android and iPhone) is helpful. https://www.sleepcycle.com/ It monitors your movements when you're asleep - getting better in the first few days as it gets to...

    Think like a woman. Female needs--an untapped market?

    This woman hangs out on The Fastlane Forum...so do a few others ;-)

    Feeling lost

    INTRO 
    At least you came back and admitted it Does that sort of self-shaming motivate you? It doesn't me ;-) What stopped you from moving forward just an inch? I don't have great pearls of wisdom (maybe a few small ones), but others will.

    (Also in the UK) Next time you're in Spain, find out where the local ex-pats hang out and spend some time meeting and chatting to some British ex-pats there, particularly those with kids of school age. Find out what they love and hate, play with the idea of joining them?

    Nooooo, not flowers at this point - way too over-the-top and creepy.

    I'll bet they are far, far busier than they've ever been, these last couple of days. What a marketing opportunity. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/10/22/F*ckoffee-coffee-shop-sign_n_8356332.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular If it were my shop, I'd be having merchandise printed saying "the...

    *PROBLEM* Manufacturer can't ship properly

    Brilliant lesson for me from Vigilante - it's obvious that the supplier is clueless, so move on. So glad I actually added my pointless 2 cents worth, because there I was "helping" the supplier for the OP and Vig just cut through the cr*p. So I've got a takeaway here - "Remember to take a few...

    *PROBLEM* Manufacturer can't ship properly

    I think a Chinese-based Inspection Company could ensure correct packaging. However I expect you would have to specify the packaging first yourself, agree it with your manufacturer, and have the Inspection Company audit against that. I only know the theory, hopefully someone can recommend such...

    That had occurred to me as a good place to be; I need to found my own space like that out here on the edge of the sticks.

    I think the UK is probably mid-way between Europe mainland and North American in culture these days. For us its always been pubs are the big social place, but coffee bars more so now. Very few drive-through places and only ever for fast food. College-type classes you can go to for a couple of...

    @tafy where do you meet new people? @sija1 you just sound a bit too intelligent for the average person you find in the places you hang out. I wouldn't expect to find many easy-fit-to-me people in those places myself. One thing that I've enjoyed has been Continuing Education classes, as much...

    Can't say I've even met that many in that time (I am a little older, and I tend to enjoy a lot of time alone). You may well meet more through this forum. Also you may find better places near you to potentially meet more - I'm not sure where people "like me" are hanging out locally , I guess I...

    @sija1, I wonder if you "can't be bothered" with most people? I had something maybe a little similar to you as a young person, in that I was also emotionally alone since a young age. (I don't mean it was similar to your life, but really generalizing, maybe there's a similar feeling there) I...

    How to recover after life beats the shit outta you?

    Your "friend" is an IGNORANT JERK, but I guess you know that. There are many English-language schools in the UK and plenty elsewhere in Europe. They LOVE to have native speakers from countries that speak English other than England, so's the students can understand when they go to Sydney or Cape...

    The fastlane for extroverts

    Any co-working spaces where you are? I remember seeing one in Phnom Penh. Bound to be plenty of Digital Nomads/ex-pats. Set your own up if there aren't any?

    Should i delegate this?

    I'm starting out with a similar-sounding business model to you. I've concluded that these steps are the most enjoyable to me, that I will become very good at researching/sourcing. Other admin stuff bores me to tears and I have a tendency to procrastinate on many admin tasks...as soon as I can...

    How to Kickstart A "Clothing Company" With ZERO Inventory and Only $100

    EXECUTION 
    Control? I seem to remember that Zazzle even tell you that your design becomes theirs once you upload it. @AgainstAllOdds has shown us how to build our own personal print-to-order Zazzle/Spreadshirt/Cafe Press with a lot more control. I have one design on Cafe Press; I created it years ago so...
