    Went to the pharmacy yesterday to buy some medication. I don't how it is where you live but In France, some drug you can buy without a prescription, but for others you can't. Problem is, when you go to the pharmacy there are people waiting to buy prescription drugs and people waiting to buy...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    I finished it a few months ago! It was very inspiring to witness how the process can unfold in our lives.

    How Would You Start This Business?

    Yes, I didn't go down the rabbit hole for now but it makes me want to dig a little further too ;)

    How Would You Start This Business?

    IDEA 
    Just want to add something to @Antifragile's comment. Selling prefab structures and sending them to remote places was my former job. We sold them to customers in our country (France) but the biggest projects always came from Africa and remote islands where they don't have manufacturers for this...

    I see, I dabbled with Shell when I used to study computer science, nothing as complex as what you did though. Regarding your last sentence, nothing better than getting your hands dirty to know the details and understand something. Even though my job is to automate, I still do everything...

    Let your fear of RISING TO THE OCCASION go!

    Amazing way to put in words what many of us feel without being able to put the finger on it. Thank you for showing us that success lies beyond our comfort zones. I must admit I'm guilty of this. Sometimes I try to think about how such and such business started, and I can't help but think that...

    Thank you for your insights Andy! As always, you're spot on with the most relevant questions! I used to work for a company that employed 12-15 people to handle communications and processes between them, suppliers and customers. In this new company, it's just me and 2 project managers who work...

    Great apps, tools, software... What do you use?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    Professionally: Make.com (former Integromat) Great tool to automate processes and integrate other tools you use with each other (kinda like Zapier but with more flexibility). It's the platform I work with at my job that consists of automating processes. Slack -> replaced 100 % of internal...

    More than two years after my last post on this thread, I'm making a comeback ! I still didn't start anything business related, but there has been a lot of changes in my life: new girlfriend, improved friendships, I picked up a few hobbies that became passions, new job... I still have trouble...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just read all this thread, it was an interesting conversation with a lot of different opinions. However, we have to keep in mind that we live in a society, and that we're bound to other people even if we don't want to. That's why our economic system is comprised of people executing different...

    Are you "me-centric"? Don't know how to help people?

    Hi everyone, Credit goes to @Andy Black. Have you ever heard of the 5 whys? I guess most of you probably have. For those who haven't, it's a guideline to help you uncover the root of a problem by asking "Why?" 5 times, or even more if needed. It's part of what's called critical thinking: a...

    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Totally agree with you on this. You can long for it, wonder what life would be like if you had it, or how things would be different. And again I agree, don't have kids if you don't want them. The important thing to remember, and I think this applies to almost everything in life, don't do stuff...

    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Interesting thread, I'm surprised that this topic wasn't discussed before on the forum (or maybe I missed it). As someone who's 99% sure that I won't ever want kid, I want to give my opinion. The 1% uncertainty comes from me being in a long term relationship (almost 7 years, living together for...

    Hey everybody, You surely don't remember me, and that's perfectly normal because I've been gone for the last few months. My last post (Could someone tell me what is wrong with me?) wasn't very uplifting. I was in a very bad place mentally, feeling powerless and overwhelmed with everything you...

    Wow, I didn't expect to have this much support, this is awesome. I've been lurking for a long time but until now I didn't realize how healthy and supportive that little corner of the internet was. I'm so grateful I found you all. I'm not giving up at all. I'm going to take some time to...

    Could someone tell me what is wrong with me?

    Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I'm going to step back from thinking about becoming an entrepreneur and making money. I've been focusing too much on these two things when the first is just a status and the second an end I've been chasing after. I just finished reading "This Is...
