    8/16 diet

    HEALTH 
    Same. I work out on an empty stomach and find I work out much better and actually eat less afterwards. I did IF 12 months ago to give my body bit of a weight loss jolt and it worked well. I went from 91 down to 80kg over 6 weeks I believe it was. Now, thanks to the 75 day challenge, I got myself...

    Investing in a classic car?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Had a few cars over the years but I have, in Australia, seen the rapid rise in some of the older Porsches. Typically the 930 Turbo, could be had for well under 100k here around 10 years ago. Some examples are fetching above 300k. Another is an E30 M3, I almost bought one around 8 years ago for...

    CV19 Financial Survey: What has the last 2 months done to your financial situation?

    INVESTING 
    Net Income actually went up 24% although still stuck in the slow lane. It makes you think sometimes with how things pan out. I had originally planned to make a career move to Offshore Oil & Gas which would allow more time for me to focus on building a business with the roster work that was...

    The 75 Hard Challenge + Live Hard by Andy Frisella (2020 version)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've let myself down and failed the challenge on Day 25. Disappointed in myself but also pretty proud I made it that far. The last week was tough, our 18 month is teething so not sleeping or going to bed easy. Our 6 year old has been having nightmares and also been up literally 3-5 times a...

    Investing $50,000

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Everything comes with risk - lower the risk usually equates into a lower return. It's up to you to decide on what your risk appetite is. As others have said, investing into the market (especially with low risk) will mean minimal returns - lucky to produce 5k a year. You can always run a...

    Website for Firewood Sales

    I think it's good little business idea, I am from Sydney also and see the demand in firewood. Facebook, Gumtree and etc are inundated with firewood sales and it's hard to make heads or tails of who is actually supplying good firewood. What size loads have the sales been so far?

    The 75 Hard Challenge + Live Hard by Andy Frisella (2020 version)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Day 6 dusted. Tell you what, with two little ones - it has been a challenge. Mainly finding the time to exercise after work. Although we have been able to make it work! Today we watched a family movie - while we did our indoor exercise. Kept that kids happy for long enough! Had sugar cravings...

    The 75 Hard Challenge + Live Hard by Andy Frisella (2020 version)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The start has been pretty good so far. Have had little issues getting the exercise done, motivation has been high and hoping to keep it that way. To be honest, I already feel somewhat better. This might be the lack of alcohol or the diet, or most likely a combination of both. See how I feel in...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My partner and I are going to do this, starting tomorrow. We had been exercising every morning for quite some time but since February, have fallen into a rut and have since not been getting it done regularly. Consistency is our problem so this would be perfect. Going to listen to the podcast...

    Think I've hit the slow lane!

    INTRO 
    Wow. Time flies. Update for over the past 4 months. It has been hectic, as always. Firstly, I decided to branch out of my current job to take my career into the Offshore side of Oil & Gas. So i trained myself up with some courses and got applying to companies. Just recently I had a job offer...

    Platform Building & Design - Get onside with a Developer?

    Thanks for the link. I've been having a good read, some good information in that thread. I've confirmed that there is a need in the marketplace with a couple of big players really taking majority of the potential clients. I'll have a look at my product and see if there is potential to...

    Platform Building & Design - Get onside with a Developer?

    Ok, I see where your coming from. Finding a developer willing to work on the project while I still retain control over the business may be hard. I might still go out and have a shot at talking to a couple - thinking of advertising through a local university might be a way to get fresh talent...

    Platform Building & Design - Get onside with a Developer?

    Hi everyone, I am currently researching an idea that I had come up with a little while back. It's not anything new here in Australia but I have found the market to have very few competing companies within the same market place - and of those that are, only a very small number actually have well...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    A few years back, I bought my first motorbike. One of the best feelings was being on the open roads in the country. For me, it was a sense of being completely disconnected with the hustle & bustle of our busy lives. As I got more experience, I upgraded my bikes. Eventually settling with a 2015...

    Think I've hit the slow lane!

    INTRO 
    Who you are in 10 years is a direct result of what you do today....This quote has really stuck in my head. Over the past 3 months, I have been so busy with work and life that I have been side tracked to the slow lane. Mentally fighting myself to get back on track - it's so easy to take the path...
