    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Only 30 hours and no travel time either as you work from home. If it was me I'd be using my spare time to start a business. Golden opportunity.

    When I was house sharing with a friend that did home theatre installations, we were pretty much gifted a full set of wharfedale speakers, a Yamaha receiver and a barely used projector worth about 2k, from a couple of wealthy clients upgrading theirs. Had the best little home theatre set up for...

    And only 15 minutes to the beach. I used to live ten minutes from there (Doonan). Probably the best spot in Sunshine Coast inbetween Coolum and Noosa, while that other property is in the worst. Ghetto town. Strange.

    I know Bali gets a lot of hate, but I still love the place. But... Be prepared for this any time you travel in South East Asia haha. It actually only ever happened to me once in all the years I've been there though. Also happened to me in Hanoi right outside the main government building lol.

    Huh, interesting. Gmail removed the option to turn off IMAP in January 2025. Can still do it with paid Google workspace. May be using a new protonmail account from now for anything important anyway I think.

    Yeah I wouldn't normally but as it was a very established bank in Australia that didn't have the option of using google authenticator I thought it may have been ok. Doesn't sound great though, especially as this was where I was planning on parking most of my cash.

    Thanks man. After chatting a little to @heavy_industry I'm also going to have a dedicated and completely quarantined laptop strictly for anything that's important financially. Thinking just a basic Chromebook with its own Sim for data.

    That's awesome man, thanks for the info. Sent it to a friend of mine with a service biz in Australia that has a similar size area. Think he has only used Google ads so far. I think it's killer that you have integrated the leads to your CRM like that. A weakness of his was contacting leads in a...

    What do you think it was about the ad that worked? Is 3200 just their first payment out of a recurring service? Good stuff. One last question actually, what is the population size of your city you service?

    Perfect, thanks man! Yeah I agree completely. I've never really had the amount of cash I have at the moment so it's got to be an ongoing thing. To be honest I've been scared shitless of losing it from not being secured enough.

    I had a search but couldn't see a thread about digital security. I have a week off work so am planning to go over everything and try and secure my banking, phone and laptop as best as I can. Would be great to discuss best practice and the different methods people use. If anyone remembers one I...
