    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    Hi All, Following on from some threads and posts I've made recently, and the great replies I have had to them, I am going to get started with a business. You can see the thread that I made the other day here, my main struggle has always been that I have searched for brand new business ideas or...

    Looking for feedback on my thoughts...

    I feel like this thread is beginning to be an experiment in thought for me, hopefully rather than being mental masturbation, it is going to be something that can help me launch a business. I have no issues with work ethic and I think I have the hustle to succeed, but really understanding this...

    Looking for feedback on my thoughts...

    Ok so I've been thinking a little more about what you said yesterday about the fact that adding value to a customers life is not necessarily always addressing a major pain point in any way, but about improving what is already out there. It might seem silly as this seems like an obvious thing to...

    Looking for feedback on my thoughts...

    That podcast has been on my list to listen to for a while now, if I remember correctly they did an episode on airBNB? That caught my eye. I agree that it definitely isn't as hard as I think it is. I have a terrible tendency to overthink things and think negatively a little which keeps me from...

    Looking for feedback on my thoughts...

    I think you make a good point on just sticking to something, and I think if I am able to get over this issue I am having where I cannot place any confidence in 'business ideas' it will really help me commit.

    Thanks for your thoughts Scot, no offense taken that you didn't read the whole thing, it was a long post admittedly! It's not that I'm approaching business like a skilled labourer, I am more than happy to learn something brand new and I have skills now that I would not have even heard of 5...

    Thanks for the reply Joe, I hope my post didn't come across as diminishing towards what you've achieved in any way as I find your posts inspiring. I guess you took the path of just getting started with copywriting and then from your experience choosing a niche to specialise in. It's a path I am...

    Thanks for the reply Patrick. You make a good point and I must admit that I am guilty of looking for problems instead of improvements that I can make to products.

    Looking for feedback on my thoughts...

    This is something I posted in another thread that I'd like a bit of feedback on please if anyone would be so kind to provide it: I think most of us who are new to business and have read TMF and unscripted understand that the only way to succeed in business is by adding value in some way, but...

    Free Workshop: For anyone struggling to find a business idea.

    HOT! IDEA 
    Hi Andrew Interesting thread, this is definitely a pain point in the entrepreneurial community, but a very difficult one to solve in my opinion. I think most of us who are new to business and have read TMF and unscripted understand that the only way to succeed in business is by adding value in...

    Should I start with anything doesn't really matter what?

    Funny you should make this thread as I considered making a similar thread over the past few days. I must say from my limited experience that I think it does matter that you make good choices about what you do if you're gonna go for it. I took the reigns with my affiliate sites about a year and...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Sorry to bother you again Lex, I have spent today watching your four part series on youtube and actually logging into my upwork profile for the first time in a while. I realised that I have two five star reviews on the platform, one which is $800 billed @ 40$ per hour, and the other which was a...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thanks very much for the response Lex. My concern with copywriting would be whether I would be competent enough to provide real value to a company, although I do have some online marketing and copywriting experience (to a respectable extent with banner ads where I have been able to a/b test...

    Thank you so much for this thread and your other threads on this topic Lex, you've provided a lot of value to this forum over the past could of years. Your threads have provided great inspiration to me personally, and I know I likely speak for a lot of people in saying thank you for all you have...

    Mortgages... yea or nay?

    INVESTING 
    This is key also, the ability to say F*ck you to mortgage lenders is a great position to be in. When you have a mortgage, you may get a better ROI from an investment property, but you also surrender control over that ROI which becomes vulnerable to interest rate changes.

    Mortgages... yea or nay?

    INVESTING 
    I think that what you're saying with drawback one is surely applicable to rent too though? Either way, you are going to need an income to pay for the home you live in unless you live in an unencumbered property, unpaid rent seems as much of a problem as unpaid mortgage payments to me? The only...

    Mortgages... yea or nay?

    INVESTING 
    im not sure whether this is posted in the right section, please forgive me if not. I'm part way through scripted and one thing I remember reading earlier on in the book seemed to me that it was quite negative towards mortgages and deeming them part of the script (MJ preferring to own his home...

    Anyone investing in UK property?

    I suppose it depends on what deal(s) you get. A friend of mine has added a good bit of equity to his home by converting it from 3 bedrooms to four and is planning on taking out equity shortly for his second buy to let. What in your opinion set the established companies apart? Was it just the...

    Anyone investing in UK property?

    Thanks for your input :) As a tradesman, have you considered doing refurb flips? I get what you're saying with the fear of interest rate increases, I'm young enough to not remember when interest rates were as high as they have been previously, but I guess if they ever went back up to 15% a lot...
