    How to fix poor attention to detail and focus?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I now struggle to focus again, because I have achieved what I wanted. I work from my laptop and I'm location independent. I have enough money to travel and buy all the gadgets, so I now struggle to push myself to work for more, as I feel comfy in the present moment. I guess it's time for another...

    How to fix poor attention to detail and focus?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I was struggling with ADHD my entire life, which is close to 27 years. What helped tremendously is me making some decisions that absolutely destroyed my comfort levels. First, as an anti-natalist at the time, I decided to have a kid, for a wrong reason that was to keep my girlfriend from...

    Is marriage an archaic and 'scripted' ideology?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Marriage can be either good or bad for the individual. But lack of marriage is disastrous for society at large. We haven't evolved anything. We are literally importing people who do get married and have kids to make up for those who do not.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    More like your parents, her parents and maybe a few influential relatives decided that you and your wife will get married, you being in late 20's and her just having her first period. Done.

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    Truth is, I don't like family businesses at all. But I hope this could work for a while. Long term I have my own plans, which are more focused on technology and emerging markets.

    The Proven Path to a Fastlane (Still Open for 2024)

    MARKETPLACE 
    This. Your life is probably too comfortable right now if cold calls are a problem. Since I made my life much less comfy by having kids and working a factory job, I find that doing cold calls is a breeze. Now I just go directly to the shop/business and offer them a website. There is no things I'm...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    Similar here. Belgrade is like a different country when it comes to this. Internet speeds are fine though even in my small village you can get 300mb. We don't have fiber optics, that's only for big cities right now. Belgrade is also a lot more progressive when it comes to new ideas of course.

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    There has been some new development, which I am not sure I like. Inspired by my desire to shake things up a bit, my cousin who is the owner decided to get involved in all of this more. The thing is, he has possibly lost focus already. Let me explain. I wanted us to use better pictures for...

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    The biggest worry of mine, as I mentioned already is that the current setup works temporarily because money is saved on some pretty essential stuff. 10 years ago they already got fined for using cracked software, and although XP was bought after that, we now have 3 Windows 7 installations that...

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    It's fascinating how inefficiently technology is used here. Just yesterday the tablet that is used for storing images about all garment that leaves the production died. Although those images are deemed important, no backup was in place. Luckily I was able to turn it on somehow, and install...

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, I am totally interested in experimenting with different products. So much so, that I am even thinking about investing into Ethereum mining :), and creating a design studio that would serve the company and also build websites for clients.

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for your reply sir. I'm in my mental prime I think, and I feel like I can conquer any obstacle now. Things that were impossible for me when I was 25, are a joke to me now that I am 29. I remember Felix Dennis saying that you must become a predator to play this game, and be ready to rip...

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for your input, interesting thoughts. What concerns me the most, is that business might not be viable after we start investing into these neglected things. Cash flow is positive with the current setup, but will it be after we start using legal software, better equipment and more educated...

    I didn't know Italy is like that, damn. I'm in Serbia, and it's the same thing, people have no idea what a computer can do for them. Owners hate computers, and would rather work without them, yet they can't because they obviously provide a lot of value. If we could only convince them about the...

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    In 2017 I started learning how to build websites. While I did acquire the knowledge, I never followed up with my plan to be as direct and aggressive as possible with acquiring clients. My initial plan was to design a basic landing page for the potential client, print it out and take it directly...

    Turning the tide in a company where no one knows the difference between Excel and JPEG

    EXECUTION 
    I'm in a situation where I could greatly influence the future of my uncle's company. The question is, should I even try? I am not going to be in a position of power mind you, they just wanted me to do the graphic design, because the previous guy left without even notifying them in advance...

    Sure, it might be a hassle, but I suspect that this could potentially boost the response rate immensely. I could be wrong but I can't be sure until I try. Also I find it remarkable that someone actually succeeds in reaching clients by email exactly because of reasons you mentioned. They might...

    I still struggle with design but the thing that keeps me going is that I think I have a great idea how to actually sell websites. Instead of cold calling and sending Emails I am thinking of designing a front page for a target business, then printing it out on paper and sending the design with...
