    How Do You Develop Work Ethic?

    MINDSET 
    Life doesn't hand out trophies fall stop, it gives and takes as it pleases. Success or not is ingrained in your mind set, you only fail when you give up.

    How Do You Develop Work Ethic?

    MINDSET 
    You don't need to develop your work ethic. You already have it in you, the sooner you stop worrying about if you're working hard enough, pace yourself, and work at a consistent rate, rather than rushing and jumping at the first available distraction.

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I did found a management profiler on monday. My biggest challenge has been making sure the day to day running of my business has been in line with our strategic planning. There's a tendency to focus on small menial tasks and ignore key priorities, answering emails instead of creating something...

    Money can't buy happiness. Or can it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This is an interesting debate. Money can buy you Happiness! Provided you paid me tell you this: Happiness is an internal state of mind. If you are reliant on external things to supplement your own internal well being then you are a fool. It is a choice you can make no matter how dire your...

    Low Fund Startup Business ideas...

    IDEA 
    I completely agree @BigBrianC. Which is why I said if I needed a redesign (or a new website designed) I would go to a professional Web Designer. I have some HTLM knowledge and I've been able to help a few of my clients with their websites. Yes, the websites all have a few different templates...

    Idea Testing

    IDEA 
    The best way would be to talk to them. It sounds as though you're a student yourself (or maybe a lecturer). You can simply ask the students how they would search for a solution to [whatever the problem is] and monitor any trends in how they search. Nothing quite beats good old fashioned market...

    IDEA 
    If you already have a website you can set up a Google Adwords. There's a keyword tool that you can use to look at how often a search term is searched.

    Low Fund Startup Business ideas...

    IDEA 
    There's absolutely no reason why you can't learn HTML Code yourself. I know enough to get by but if I wanted an entire website redesign, Id go to a professional. You'll probably find someone on here that's willing to help you out for a reasonable price. How often do you update it? and how much...

    The Good Ones Are Quiet - How to shut up bad, loud customers?

    PEOPLE 
    I know all too well this struggle. Quite a lot of my clients hat approach the 1-2 year mark of operating ask the same thing. You need to find an easy and cost-effective way of incentivising your good customers to leave a positive review. If you're an e-commerce site then you should have your...

    I need your thoughts about my Internet project

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I would strongly recommend getting a Wordpress website. It's not for amateurs, but it's commonly used by amateurs because it's so easy to use. Most of my clients have wordpress websites. Because it's designed with amateurs in mind, it's really easy to edit the website and upload new pages. A few...

    one day you will die.

    MINDSET 
    I think that's a great mind set to have. as Jobs said "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose" It helps you realise that there's no reason to play it safe. It's actually the speech that helped me leave my job and...

    Loneliness

    PEOPLE 
    HAHAHAHA Those guys are hilarious!! It's all about confidence. If you can't motivate yourself to do be social then you should listen to some inspirational speeches. Many of them are really good. I've also found this website that lets you send motivational messages to your friends to help put...

    Loneliness

    PEOPLE 
    You just need to get yourself out there a bit more. I know it's harder than it seems. I often struggle to find time in the day to socialise (and have lost a few friends along the way because of it), but you've got to prioritise. I'm focused on running my business at the moment, but I still try...

    hey everyone

    INTRO 
    That's a great idea. Copywrting is a good skill to have and if you can network effectively it can be very lucrative. I wish you the best for the next 4 months, but don't let it be the make or break of your business. As Chris said, you have to keep pushing until you reach your success.
