    My new boss just extended my probationary period!

    INTRO 
    How I see it, there are several parts to your situation (and feel free to correct me if misinterpreted, but it's very reminiscent of the rut I found myself in): You don't execute ideas as you talk yourself out of doing so, seemingly from fear of failure or a case of "I Cant's". One thing is a...

    Transitioning out of the slowlane..

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    So around two months had passed since setting up the company, until finding the millionaire fastlane and writing the above post but not posting it; and a month has passed since then. Ish. So what's changed? in the first two months I decided to take the plunge. I switched slowlane jobs to one...

    Transitioning out of the slowlane..

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    So I've been putting off posting a progress thread, partially because I guess I wanted to absorb as much information as possible, partly because I didn't want to put too much out there, and partially because over my younger years I'd gotten into an aweful habit of not saying anything if I don't...

    What kinds of businesses work better in developing countries?

    EXECUTION 
    being in thailand gives you many options. Market : You have either Tourism or domestic markets at your disposal, as well as international if you want to utilise the net. Low labour/costs: lower rent (although obviously depending on what you make this may or may not be a big benefit) low...

    Came up with a website, how can I protect it?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    ^ Thanks for the re-focus guys, a valuable reality check :) Have adapted my thinking a little and have been mapping out all day and had the realisation to make the concept work rather than making the concept profitable. It's helped in eliminating a case of the 'yeah but..'s that were slowing...

    Prime Domain vs. Brandable Name?

    The way I see it, (not knowing anything about your company), there's a distinction to be made between a prime webspace which supports your branding, and a brand itself which allows you to work your protection in. How you incorporate that web space into your marketing strategy and brand is where...

    Came up with a website, how can I protect it?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    lol I couldn't agree more with that :) it's what put the dampners off me exploring the idea in the first place, but at the moment my situation is a little unique in that I have time whilst working away in the day job, where I'm limited to how much more I can develop my business and have spare...

    How many hours do you work a week!

    My current working week is 10 hour days, 7 hour weeks (but a week off every month). In addition, anywhere up to 5 hours a day on my own business, more in the weeks off. But it won't always be that way.

    Came up with a website, how can I protect it?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think protect was the wrong word in my original post and I guess 'Mitigate' may have been better - I wasn't going to ask as I thought it was a silly question - but the responses have demonstrated exactly why this is a great place to ask questions, so firstly a sincere thanks for the responses...

    Came up with a website, how can I protect it?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey all, So the short story is that essentially I have come up with an idea for a website as a side-project to my business and got on a roll one night and built the simple site, have the concept, the terms and conditions penned out, the general workings all covered. Im now at the point where I...

    Americans...Do You Feel You're In Danger???

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not in the slightest. I live in australia, I've traveled thailand, indonesia, a lot of asia, I'm from the UK, born and bred; and I have darker skin. Every single country I've been to, without exception, including the US, people have assumed I'm from America before hearing me speak.

    Launched new service need some feedback.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Honestly, first impressions: 1) The table of services - why include 'available in real time' if the answer to all is no - I'd avoid using 'no' when describing your services wherever possible 2) the logos at the bottom of the page needs 'previous customers' or similar otherwise it looks like...

    It's always sad to hear of the tragic death of people who do good in the world. seemed like a genuinely great guy and I'm sure a big loss to those who knew him and those who would have met him.. RIP :(

    Starting the process

    EXECUTION 
    I'm confused - has the original post been edited? I know I was tired when I wrote the above but I think the point I Was addressing has been removed - I thought I remembered the OP asking into whether to market first or set up a business? Apologies if I'm not remembering correctly, I was...

    Starting the process

    EXECUTION 
    my take on it is that you can start a corporation and turnover without marketing, but you can't market something that isn't set up to trade.. Tempting as it is to slam it on the net asap, if you can't make any conversions from anyone who sees it because you're not set up to trade, then it's a...

    In defense of the slowlane

    SLOWLANE 
    Personally I think going into business contemplating the PROBABILITY of failure is completely the wrong attitude to undertake. By all means you should plan to have controls for the worse, but it's better to be more aware of WHY startups fail, not WHEN your startup will fail.. It's counter...

    In defense of the slowlane

    SLOWLANE 
    it depends what you want out of work, out of life. For me, the day-job just doesn't work for the simple reason that what I want does not co-exist with a slowlane day in day out lifestyle and consigns me to a lot of dissatisfaction. Regardless of the paycheque, when I get to the next level, I...
