    Difficulties and success with running a business

    MINDSET 
    Hi Jeix, I've been working on the business on my own for a couple of years. I don't have partners so although there aren't any co-founder conflict issues, there's no-one to bounce around ideas with. That's the hardest part for me. And I thought that a successful business would be one where I'd...

    Difficulties and success with running a business

    MINDSET 
    I was thinking about what I struggle with. It's not having anyone in person to talk through ideas with And if I ran a successful business, this is what it would look like. It wouldn't feel so lonely. Is anyone else lonely in their business? What about you?

    MINDSET

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I've moved from Australia to Sweden (15yo) to Australia (16) to England (23) to Italy (24) to England (25) to France (28) to Australia (30) to England (48) to Australia (53). Here's my take: - If you're used to summer and there's no summer for years on end it can make you miserable unless it's...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This is a very intereting discussion - it points to the underlying yearning for starting a business. Partly money, partly avoiding a boss/job that's unpleasant. What I find works for me when I get despondent about what am I doing here? is to look for the good stuff coming in that I might be...

    Burnout in younger Americans

    MINDSET 
    This article counters the current negative stereotype that younger Americans are more selfish than older Americans. I'm in Australia and my observation is that younger people (15-30) are kinder than my cohort was at that age. Here's an article which supports my observations...

    One leadership development program states there are 2 directions. Horizontal and Vertical. Horizontal is the technical skills, e.g. legal, finance, sales, marketing and so on. You can hire people to do the gruntwork and focus on other aspects of the business. Vertical is about you as a person...

    Those of you who are very social and have alot of friends, how do you do it?

    When you're not interested in shared activities and topics it can definitely feel isolating. There's a great book called Rapport by Emily and Laurence Alison which helps to understand yourself and others better in order to build rapport. It's a useful book for life in any case. The most useful...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    It's good to see this post. I'm in my 50s and found loneliness to be a long-term issue and only recently resolved. I had no idea that so many other people in their 20s to 40s felt the same. The internet wasn't around 15 years ago so there was no forum to share these kinds of feelings and people...
