    Eurgh I shudder whenever I see the Aus government rubbing their hands. I've been actively exploring basing my company in Dubai or somewhere similar as it operates largely online and taking a taxable salary here but somehow think they've gotten the gouging down to an all encompassing artform...

    Exactly that, and whilst I'm sure some have altruistic motivations, the vast, vast majority of people only sell something to line their pockets first and help others secondly. And the worst offenders are agencies in disguise, claiming that agents are the devil, and they're almost a consulting...

    Struggling with the "employee mindset"

    IDEA FEEDBACK RANT 
    If I want to start over as a freelancer or co-entrepreneur, where should i look for potential partners? - I think you have it a bit mixed up here. If a freelancer why would you need potential partners? Why a co-entrepreneur rather than just an entrepreneur? What are your first reactions to my...

    unpopular take: I really dislike the "agency" model. Anyone else feel that a LOT of "entrepreneurism" today is empty? I see at least 5 offers every single day, the majority of them are people either saying they have the secret sauce to raise six figures in a company for example, by using the...

    Not building an alternative to linkedin perse, (sorry, trying to summarise a thought process here in bullet point view doesn't really lend itself to a clear picture of the willy wonka factory inside my brain) For my industry , LinkedIn is far from what it once was. Lots of opinions, lengthy...

    It's not what you couldnt get it's what linkedin's become for me - I saw a comment from @Andy Black that summed it up in relation to it not being about seeing what your connections are up to and instead the algorithm feeding you constant repeated pigeonholed content Amongst other things that...

    "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a STUPID book

    I actually live it as the opposite.. I tend somewhat shy away from people who want what I have. I have a fairly high bar for friendship, and people who align themselves with me because of my situation, status, because I'm fun or chilled, the ability for them to win around me generally fall into...

    5 leads contacted, CFOs, Project Directors and similar. When you break through the barrier of realising people are people, you don't really care about contacting them. Pricing structure locked down. A couple of clickable ads for linkedin combined. Without wanting to chase shiny objects too...

    Ha I know what you mean, I used to love taking bikes around the track but a lot like the thread on here "sell the motorbike" the risk profile of it just sets me off a bit these days.. Does have a few similarities to mondello, I've never had the pleasure of making it over but did do the IOM TT a...

    ha that whole straight is a mix of laugh out loud terror. Hit around 150mph, full reliance on the brakes and hoping no one is sitting in the middle of the track as you go full tilt over the hill, better fpv: Funny, have a simulator setup with motion to get it as real to the real deal as...

    AI builds and flips... a new emerging Fastlane opportunity?

    - AI - 
    very true. It reminds me of a couple of sellers I saw on flippa around the time I discovered TMF. They were selling web stores on flippa for around $1-500, mostly niches such as clothes, adult, watches etc, all loaded on wordpress themes with pdfs on "how to run your business" etc. All were very...

    AI builds and flips... a new emerging Fastlane opportunity?

    - AI - 
    Rather than pick a niche and hope it’s what someone wants, would it be better served by a pseudo ai web design agency that churns out ideas quickly?

    I say this without knowing exactly what your app is, but I feel like the biggest boundary becomes over planning. I've never really understood the "hold for a launch event" logic even though I've done it myself - get it out there, have some conversations, shamelessly plug it everywhere, and...

    Did A Stable Career Kill My Entrepreneurial Drive?

    Why do you want to be an entrepreneur, general question. goes to another thread I've seen this morning discussing why entrepreneur groups die. If you're comfortable, have time to relax, assumedly happy with your pay, why do you actually feel like you need to get back to an entrepreneural...

    Dubai: what’s your opinion?

    I feel that way a lot about dubai. I have toyed with basing my company there operationally for tax purposes but the idea of actually living there dose not appeal at all. I don't enjoy shopping or overpaying for brands and it all feels very transactional and plastic to me. Even the way people...

    I’ve watched 4 online entrepreneurship communities die in the last 2 years. Here is my breakdown of why it’s happening.

    MEETUPS 
    sounds fantastic. The only groups like that near to me have been supremely cliquey and all about being showy. very 'plastic' As for the online communities dying, I've seen heaps go then others take their place and also die. I think a lot of people see 'entrepreneurism' as something they've...
