    EXECUTION 
    Congrats! Look forward to hearing how you progress. Sounds like you need a nice simple POS/CRM. Something like Square or Vend might be suitable. You might like to choose one that will give you the ability to do a newsletter/email awareness for your customers. You could have a seperate, simple...

    Buying and growing micro startups as a software developer

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hi @OVS , keen to hear how you're tracking on finding a business in your $8-10k budget range? I'm following a similar path, and am more a business minded person, but with a background in tech - so a bit of a hybrid.

    What is the main reason why people fail in life?

    MINDSET 
    I was recently watching a youtube vid of a 'day in the life' of an entreprenuer. The video was quite accurate, it wasn't some glamorous existence full of excitement, it was what we know - hard work, lots of decisions, some small setbacks, some small incremental progress. The expected. While I...

    If someone offered you a CEO job for millions, would you take it?

    HOT! CHAT 
    In my career I have worked alongside CEO's of decent sized private companies (mid 8 figure up to 9 figure businesses), as well as with a local/regional CEO of a very large public software company (the parent is fortune 500) (regional business is >$1bn). Most are employees with stock etc, others...

    Any tips for sending outbound emails?

    MARKETING 
    As a framework, I like the Basho approach - which really is a fancy way of saying B2B sales cold email technique. I can't do a better job of describing it than this link: https://pipeline.zoominfo.com/sales/basho-best-cold-email-examples This is most appropriately utilised when you can justify...

    How much should you care? (That the world is burning)

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Don't disagree with you, sir. Certainly people are capitalising on it (why not us too right?). The point of my post, using climate change as an example (n.b. I deliberately didn't call it global warming), is in line with the point of this thread - that there are things happening, beyond our...

    How much should you care? (That the world is burning)

    HOT! HEALTH 
    A thought occured reading this thread. A lot of the "dark world out there" concepts referenced here are in relation to social phenomena: poverty, power, wars, politics, corruption etc. Some of that shit is real, and worrying enough no question. However, there are things happening in this...

    Hi I'm new! Excited about this process, and confused on the next step.

    INTRO 
    What a great attitude and skill set you have to set you on this path! You know what, it reminds me of where I was when I first read TMF way back when. I didnt have much time, and I didn't have much money. I thought if I had both of those it would be easier. Flash forward a few years and I...

    Product Idea: The weighted backpack

    IDEA 
    I have used backpacks with plates I own in it for things like pushups/chinups etc. You're right, it's not great for the backpack! The straps dig in, and it wears out the pack. To be honest, after a few weeks of training in in that manner, I went back to a chain with a belt for chins and...
