    I need advice on going to uni/college

    PEOPLE RANT 
    Parents are indoctrinated into the old order of thinking where you get a degree, it has value and you go off to your safe job with your steady wage. We now live in the new order where most degrees are worth less each year and job opportunities are at a premium with employers well aware of this...

    How much should I pay a sales person? (Company #'s Included)

    MARKETING 
    Any marketing/business student is likely to be able to take on these roles. Even trained sales people will work for you in these climates if you make it attractive enough. Personally I wouldn't pay a base salary - I would be showing them that i'm the best that the company focuses on MONEY IN...

    How much should I pay a sales person? (Company #'s Included)

    MARKETING 
    A lot of it depends on what you need them to do. Were going through a global pandemic right now and students would happily work for you on commission only. This can be useful if you want them to find leads and then they can ring you (the one trained on the phones) to deal with the clients...

    Transhumanism

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The thing you'll hear a lot of people that suffered under dictatorships say is - there are fates far worse than death. All through our history men had to be warriors or afforded the protections of class and death was always a step away - you couldn't brush it under the carpet like the great...

    What to do with a lot of land on the island in Croatia?

    HOT! 
    Create an instagram hotspot where you promote it as an all inclusive area where influencers pay you money and you have a cheap camera crew on hand to snap pictures. Drum it up as the one place no one has ever been to - stick a huge price tag on the secrets of Croatians most exclusive island...

    feedback on my app idea

    IDEA 
    What you need is sales. Find a way to drum up your amazing life saving app that solves all of these e-comm twitter dorks problems, go on twitter, offer it to them and then if enough people show up green then you can invest 100% into it. If you can find a way to take money in exchange for...

    MVPs are they advisable or not (Minimum Viable Product )

    For most apps/products - this fits in 'feel good' business advice for me. You can barely get the attention deficient public to look at the traffic when crossing the road, let alone your application that doesn't work. Especially with apps which to most people just 'appear in the store' -...

    Job advice

    MINDSET 
    Going back would mean you get rewarded for doing nothing. A mans inner warrior usually only comes out when he's pushed to find enough to eat for a week on 1 euro, and still train. Also everyone right now is "starting a business" - why is your idea profitable?, wheres the money? how much money...

    Thoughts on personal training or online coaching 2021? Oversaturated?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Definitely over saturated. It feels like every unemployable person (of which there are many) is now some form of success coach, mind coach, well-being coach, positivity coach, growth hacker coach, physical fitness coach etc etc. And each of them have their own little eBook and course to buy on...

    Same amount of time in business, completely different businesses

    MINDSET 
    Because it's better to have special forces than hire an army like every other dork does. What do 99% of people that have a little fortune to start a company do? Do they check where the money in is coming from? do they see how much money? No, they buy laptops, they buy an office (pre corona)...

    What does it take?

    MINDSET RANT 
    Objectively not true. To 'succeed' in business financially requires one thing - Money In. If you combine that with speed you have momentum and then you have success and at least an exit. Look at all of the personality dorks that get millions for simply acting delinquent. Look at financial...

    Advice on cold calling a business

    EXECUTION 
    Back in the day we used to just hire people to do this on commission. Another thing you can do is use email as first point of contact then pick up the phone to leads. But really a lot of it comes down to your belief in the product. If whatever you have is something you feel is really life...

    Hey! I would also make sure you have answered: How are you going to take peoples money in one month? How many clients do you need to get $1000 at your current prices? How are you going to put yourself between customers and competition and take over 1000 dollars from peoples pockets in a...

    Translation as a course, dumb or smart?

    I have run multiple businesses, including translation studios. I was one of the first on the market before all of the agencies began popping up in Ukraine/Russia/India and pushed the margins as far as possible. It may be true that in the west we sell on brand, but there's only so long you can...

    Translation as a course, dumb or smart?

    Solutions such as Deepl require very little manual editing now for most languages, the neural learning research you can find on the models in progress is fascinatingly complex. I know many people trying to do what you are doing and they are doing it all for one reason - they have spent years...

    DOING IT (Marketing marketing)

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    If you can sell the need you will have '6 figure e-com'/'self published' geeks lining up to give you their money. You know what would be really awesome is if you started a brand from nothing - told people get in now or miss out - Grow it big time until it's juicy - get your name trending on...

    Do miracles really exists?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Large swaths of the community you describe are definitely scam artists. The clever thing they do as with all hustlers is they hook you so you're always in their circle even if you don't fully trust them - trying to figure out if they're legit and your FOMO will ensure you always come back in...

    Looking to take the Next Step! Feeback / Constructive criticism needed

    EXECUTION 
    Firstly please don't take my comments to heart as design is subjective. Personally I don't like the design as whilst it is very clean it also looks very generic and I don't feel like you care about me as a student beyond my money. I also don't connect with Mexico, nor the Spanish language by...
