    The Rich Man's Wildcard...

    MINDSET 
    Those we class as "successful" in life hold a magnificent secret. They don't teach you this secret in school— yet it's one of the most vital tools which make people flourish. Almost all of the elite, wealthy and successful amongst us possess a hidden talent: the ability to turn sh*t into gold...

    Weird Funnel Issue

    FEEDBACK 
    Hi guys, So I've set up a refreshed funnel for my website. When the user clicks "Try for Free", it leads to a small email sign-up page, which then navigates to a free trial—ultimately hitting a paywall. I've had success with this before but I've changed my form service as I want to allow...

    Pet Owners: Can you Spare 2 Minutes?

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    Hi all, I run a business that honours deceased pets by allowing their grief-stricken owners to reminisce about their life with storytelling. I've had some success, and my existing customers really liked it. But there's a major barrier for people: typing is long, boring and can feel like...

    OFF-TOPIC RANT 
    Felt like ranting. Maybe I'm a Karen, but here it goes.. A new burger restaurant opened in my town and their food looked quite good (albeit QUITE expensive). In saying that, I know how being an entrepreneur works, and figured I'd check it out next time. Here's where my issue starts: they...

    MEETUPS 
    Hi all, I'm looking to have some preliminary discussions with other, like-minded entrepreneurs from Ireland regarding a project I'm working on. I know posts like this can seem like the ramblings of a "wantrepreneur", especially the "oh I have a secret project worth millions bla bla" jargon...

    Rant: My Audience Resides in Ghost-Ville

    Automation Help with Zapier+Google Docs/Sheets

    QUESTION 
    So I'm using Zapier to populate a Google Doc template. Zapier fetches information from a Google Sheet, and then adds the information into my Google Doc, replacing my placeholders. I managed to get this working great, and the text gets carried over and formatted within my template perfectly...

    Thoughts on AirBnB Co-Hosting

    SIDE HUSTLE AIRBNB QUESTION 
    Like many of you, my Instagram algorithm is saturated with these "Get Rich Quick" broccoli haired 17 year olds. Sometimes, these people are awfully believable.

    ____ Is The Root of All Evil...

    ASSERTION MINDSET RANT 
    We've all heard it - "Money is the root of all evil". And who chants these words the most? Sidewalkers. And I'm here to say: POVERTY is the root of most evil. NOT money. Recently, I've seen more and more cutesy phrases splashed over social media. Things like "most men are so poor, they only...

    Missed Marketing Opportunity? Or Strict Business? You Decide...

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    So last night I arrived at the train station car park to find my car's battery was dead. With no jumper cables or people around, I walked my way home. This morning, I awoke early with a problem on my mind: I need to get a jump to get my car started because I need to go to work. There's a...

    Hi everybody, I'm running ads to my website and getting some add to cart action without any conversions. My phone (an older POS) isn't giving me the option to put in my credit card details on checkout. My girlfriend has two Apple devices that do it perfectly. Maybe it's my phone or perhaps...

    Scalable (im)personal brands. WTF?

    SCALING - AI - 
    I'm not a businessman. I'm a business, man. Personal brands are all the rage these days. Think of people like Andrew Tate, who can get paid to show his face at some crappy party for 5 mins. Maybe you're launching a new whiskey. Sure thing, Tate will hold it for 5 seconds at a rate of €10k per...
