    Need advice (ielts+study abroad) plz

    CHAT QUESTION 
    Apparently one of the most common "requirements" for success in business is industry experience. So whichever you choose, you will probably go into that industry for a few years, learn how it works and then you'd know what business to start since you've already worked in that industry and know...

    Need advice (ielts+study abroad) plz

    CHAT QUESTION 
    I left my country to study in UK. The stuff I studied in wasn't really of much help, but it got me in a better country and allowed me to learn/build other stuff. So don't worry about your degree that much, unless you're pretty sure you wanna turn it into a career.

    is my app too controversial? Need help

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Hello everyone! I've been working on an idea for a while and finally launched it in January this year. It's a politician review website. Think IMDB or rotten tomatoes but for politicians. https://vhoice.net After a few posts on reddit, it got about 40k visitors a month for the first 2 months...

    Crypto and NFT's are not for you.

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I've read all of your guys's replies here and I guess I've been surrounding myself with the wrong people. The kinds of people who do only buy random coins and hope to go up. This post was mainly for people like that. In contrast, most of the people here who are into these things seem to be...

    Hitting a wall in the desert of desertion

    EXECUTION 
    I'm gonna throw some stuff out here. Let me know if this is you: I don't think you lack motivation. You're just more motivated towards TV, video games, the internet or reading books. And it's easy to understand why. In the beginning it's easier to keep going since the vision is fresh in your...

    damn you're right they're the ones that need to hear. Althought I expect to be eviscerated there.

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Don't take this the wrong way. I don't know who you are and what you plan on doing with Crypto but I feel for 90% of people it's just another lottery with the illusion that you can guess what numbers are gonna come out. Here's my opinion: When everyone and your grandma are talking about some...

    Fastlane Idea

    IDEA RANT 
    The skills themselves are not fastlane. You can get a job with them. That's not fastlane. What you plan on doing with them, your business itself and the CENTS analysis will say if it's fastlane or not. You haven't mentioned anything about the business yet.

    Are static sites better?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Hello, I guess it depends on the customer. You may wanna have a chat with future clients regarding this when setting up the payments. In your case I would ask them for a retainer. They need to pay for the hours you end up spending updating their site, otherwise you're doing free work. Either...

    The Great Rat-Race Escape by MJ DeMarco, Now Available (All formats!)

    HOT! 
    Yeah I think so too. Lots of people want to get the real value -> know and understand how to start a business. But because of certain barriers ( lack of FTE, for example ) they never get to read the whole book and understand the strategies or concepts that MJ is talking about -> thus the bad...

    The Great Rat-Race Escape by MJ DeMarco, Now Available (All formats!)

    HOT! 
    I guess it's more like Sam's. She wouldn't go as far as call it a pyramid scheme, but cheesy title? juvenile writing? That's right on point there :D.

    The Great Rat-Race Escape by MJ DeMarco, Now Available (All formats!)

    HOT! 
    So far the chapter "A new hope" is by far my favorite. It's frickin hilarious. The way Sam talks about the books is exactly on point with what my girlfriend thought before reading them. :D

    Losing the sale

    MARKETING RANT 
    I usually buy healthier options and these tend to have simpler/more modern packaging. At lest here where I live. So for me Bonne Maman kinda stood out when I first saw it. Now it's my favourite. A bit pricier than some others I got around here but way tastier.

    My Beliefs Are Holding Me Back

    MINDSET RANT 
    Hey man, I grew up in a shitty city, of a shitty country to a shitty abusive family. My self esteem was shit and my beliefs were even worse. The person you are now is not the result of who/where you are now, it is the result of how you grew up and all your past experiences. It makes sense to...

    Does being broke count? I didn't even have any money to lose most of my life xD

    What should I study to not get stuck in the slowlane rat-race? Or is studying redundant?

    SLOWLANE 
    Study coding in your time off. It's free and will get you a pretty darn good job. Not to mention how useful it is for fastlane ventures

    Feedback WANTED

    Hey I like it. Only feedback I had for website is to reverse the position of pricing from cheapest on left, to most expensive on the right. I dunno, it's just easier to make sense of from my point of view. Also, I loved the Result's page, but some testimonials would add a bit more value there...

    Have a problem with my family

    Your family has no idea what they're talking about. They also have no right to tell you if you're a success or a failure. Nobody has that right. You should not care for what they have to say. If you follow their advice, you will end up like them. Probably the best thing you could do now is not...

    I'm an idea retard, how to alleviate the problem?

    IDEA 
    Don't focus so much on C.E.N.T.S. . Working on a bad business is better than not working on any. Just start with whatever business Idea you have that you can pursue. And if you want more ideas, I always get business ideas because they fit a need that I have. For example: I was looking at...
