    Anyone successful in E-Business ?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I would hazard a guess that 2) is your problem. What content do you provide? Once people are on your site do they click through to more content? You can drive hundreds of people to your site with seo and keywords, but you can't achieve anything unless they stay for a while. Your average...

    Angel Investing

    Eugh, jellied eels. Though pie, mash and liquor isn't TOO bad. And sharper, don't worry about this 'accredited investor' thing the others are talking about. No such official things over here. Plus, don't get me started in the holes of logic regarding the whole thing.

    real estate fastlane?

    REAL ESTATE 
    The whole building of 12 apartments, not just one apartment! Though £5.4m can get you surprisingly little with places like this on the market: 3 Bedroom Apartment For Sale

    SUCCESS STORY: LondonLife

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    I visited the site this morning. Roof is 99% of the way there with a few niggling issues (Primarily a chimney which needs re-pointing due to a huge crack which has magically appeared). The contractor has also ripped out practically everything and it looks like a scarily empty shell. A few...

    Our procedure was: Expansion of companies we already knew > A number of serial entrepeneurs already at expansion stage have another idea (or five) > We bankroll > Repeat business through a select few people> Word of mouth through entrepeneur forums/mastermind groups > Start-ups approach us...

    1) We original setup as 3 guys (3 from an original group of 10 who ran a full service e-commerce consultancy group providing marketing, creative coding, SEO etc... between the 3 of us we had a full skill set for the type of investments we are interested in). Our original investments were...

    REAL ESTATE 
    I consider real estate to be slow lane the majority of the time. Most peoples opinion of real estate: Mortgage a property to the hilt, rent it out for 25 years, hope to just about cover the mortgage and getting a 'free' house at the end of it. Or even worst, paying interest only mortgage...

    I been an angel investor for around 3 years, and am part owner of a firm. It was my core business for around 2 years whilst i developed my software company, and remains the core business for my two partners. I'm gradually pulling out of the day to day running of these investments, but am still...

    Any authors on this site?

    I (my company, the majority was not done by me personally) wrote and self published a series of additional manuals/guidance and eventually moved into text books on the software I developed. I was originally started as a secondary income stream to the software. Our marketing was pretty simple...

    Do NonComp agreements stand up in court?

    I have been at both ends of a non-comp in my time. - 1st time was a non comp I signed as a condition of the sale of a company. Ultimately I invested in one of our old clients and was offering advise as part of a new angel investment firm I set up. An overzealous director of the old company...

    asset rich, cash poor?

    Asset rich, cash poor? Avoid it? Are you crazy? In my opinion you are simply reducing your potential to grow your assets if you try and stay cash rich. Only your assets will ever make you more money, never your cash. Being asset rich, cash poor is a stepping stone on the way to success. If...

    Today I became a man

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ryan, you're only 17 and should cut yourself a little slack once in a while. I don't mean to be patronising refering to your age, but I think you put too much on your shoulders and should be living your life rather than worrying about it. If you are unhappy with life, then go ahead and change...

    Website idea, needs your constructive criticism

    IDEA 
    Some people are inherently hesitant to phone up and place orders. People don't like phones, don't like talking to strangers, and particuarly don't like phoning up someone who can't speak perfect english like alot of takeaway places. Many people also don't like giving credit card details over...

    You guys have it lucky. We have 12 points on our license. You get 3 points and a £60 fine for minor speeding and up to 6 for major speeding... all points last for 3 years. If you reach 12 you are suspended for 6 months. If a camera catches you there is no argument. You pay, or go to...

    e-Biz Consultants?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I agree wholeheartedly. There are alot of jokers out there who have successfully schmoozed the people I invest in, generally annoyed me and come up with some terrible ideas who are in the e-biz consultancy process. Though I am of course an e-biz consultant myself. Hold fire for a second...
