    Map your project and follow it up

    Hi all, I work with Excel pretty much every day and have recently been asked if I had a tool to keep track of progress made on projects (one of my businesses offers project management consultancy). I shared one of the tools I use to manage my own and my customers' projects and I thought that...

    Back after a few months... I've been busy

    FTE 
    Hi everybody, I haven’t logged in here in a while now but last time I did was to share a spreadsheet I had made for someone who sells stuff online on several platforms. He wanted a tool to monitor his earnings and I made him one. He was happy with it and I asked him if it was OK to share it...

    FREE tool for those who are making money online

    Hi guys, I have been networking with a lot of e-commerce store owners lately and last night one member of these groups posted a question about how to make a spreadsheet where he could compile his earnings from different platforms he is selling on. I had a moment so I offered to do it for him...

    Any fastlaner from France ?

    EXECUTION 
    French too but have been living out of France for the past 5 years. To give you my view about France, I think that it is a very nice country to live in and specially so if you are an employee. If you want to have your own business it is another story. Not impossible as many people do it but...

    How To Find (Non-Public) Email Addresses

    GOLD! 
    Quick tip if you want to try and connect with someone on Linked In (this was given to me by a head hunter): Usually if you don't know this person, Linked In will ask you to confirm your relationship to him/her and his/her email address to prove that you know each other. If you try and connect...

    We are all KINGS!!! (Reclaiming Masculinity in the Modern Day)

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    This is a story I read some time ago: Two twins were raised by an alcoholic father. Same education, same environment, same everything. One of them turned out to become an alcoholic too and the second twin became a successful businessman. When the alcoholic twin was asked why he was what he...

    Where I have been this time... and why I'm famous at Wells Fargo

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Actually, I would like to take you up on this if you have time for it. I have got a business that I have run for two years, started from nothing and got to the point where I am able to branch out on my own every 9 months or so. I branched out a first time and instead of carrying on doing that...

    Breadcrumbs... 1 year in business and 3 years on the forum

    Well if you like to fail, can you fail for me please? Because I hate it (even if it is part of the process) :)

    My wife! :rofl: It sounds funny but it is almost the truth. My wife is from a country where you don't work in what you want but you work in what gives you money to pay for your next meal. When we got to live together in my country after a few years of bureaucracy fighting, she had to train...

    Some more breadcrumbs: Trademark: Before I start on this topic, I just would like to say that this might be different in the US. I have only dealt with the UK intellectual property office so far. Registering a trademark is only a part of the process for me as it was something I needed to...

    I haven't logged in here for a few months but I just passed the 1 year milestone since I opened my first shop which makes my company part of the 10% of those who survive their first year. In just a few weeks time I will also complete my third year on this forum. I have wanted to write this post...

    Diary of my first successful business

    EXECUTION 
    So, first of all welcome to this forum as this is your first post. Maybe an introduction in the right part of the forum could be good as well if you plan to spend some time here. ;) As this is your first post and you have only been here for a few days, I would suggest that you read more of the...

    Again another month is over. I don't know if a lot of people are finding what I write here useful so I am wondering whether or not keeping updating this thread. Anyway, waiting for your feedback this is what I have been up to in November. The great news is that I have at least found a third...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    Interesting to read the different points of view. I think most of the main arguments have been said already so I won't come back on that but let me tell you my story. Even if it doesn't make you change your mind on marriage, it will definitely entertain you for a while. Once upon a time, ten...

    Diary of my first successful business

    EXECUTION 
    New update: Today was the meeting with my accountant. The main goal of this meeting was to go through my bookkeepping and make sure everything was OK but most of all, as I am new to the taxes and rates and all the rest of it in this country, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to have a...

    EXECUTION 
    Another month has passed and once again we have increased the turnover and the profit. Bad news is that we won't be able to increase it very much more now because the two girls are fully booked. And when I say fully booked I mean they just have about 30 min for a quick lunchbreak everyday. I...

    Diary of my first successful business

    EXECUTION 
    Franchising with no open places is definitely possible and the insider call with GetThreaded a year or so ago is a proof of it but for the moment I need to save some money in order to be able to afford going this way and the only way I can raise this sort of money is by operating my own place...

    Of course I fully understand that you can't give me his address but I was rather thinking if someone is still in contact with him and wants to let him know that I didn't forget what he did to help me and that I'd like to thank him for what he did, then he can contact me. :)
