These all sound good to me! Most are so beyond my current scope, just laying out the topic sounds scary. Like spending €120k a day... This Summit must be golden. @MJ DeMarco, will there be -as others have asked as well- a digital way to attend? (Live) streaming or after event download or...

Quite alright with the gobbeldygook jargon, mate. Basically, we're seeing a friendly take over here, which makes CENTS. I have no idea about KiCad, but if it's similar to AutoCad it is amazing that it's free. The common thread is a company rising to power through a need well met by their...

Current status: getting rid of my bullshit

Alright. So for those who want it, here's an update for the Belgian situation. I met with a legal advisor and a charity accountant together. Reasonable size accountancy firm where they combine different specialties. Which was awesome for the meeting as they could bounce off one another. Short...

Hey guys, thanks for the updates. Been off of the forum for a bit feeling under the weather, which gave me time to think. I've been a bit of a dick, especially the way I set up my other thread. The purpose of business isn't to save tax money but to provide value. So my focus was off and I was...

@Bekit, you're an absolute gem! [EDIT: didn't get to gif to behave as expected so cut it]

Thanks. I'm mentally entertaining different possibilities, one of them that all of this will turn out to be a big joke and I've totally misunderstood corp law & taxation. Then again, Belgium is the country that beat Kafka at his own game. The meeting -somewhere this week?- could really go any...

Thanks for the post, @ChrisV! I don't mind paying for a good product, but the subscription put me off as well. Hate it so much I checked their site during the vid. Can't say I'm the next Michelangelo, but I enjoy some good editing from time to time and at this price point I can stand by...

I would be the benefactor of the foundation, so it'd (probably) be a combo of paid-for-me and allowances. I don't intend to keep living in Belgium, so I might even use the foundation as a holding corp. That's more than the time I've already invested in the matter. And I asked to be on the safe...

Problems I would LIKE to have, though ;) Don't like to be caught with my pants down. It's a fine line between prepping and worrying... I'll raise your smart anonymous guy with a smart famous one driving your point home. "I've lived a long life and endured many hardships. Some of which actually...

That's defo on point, @Kak. Although, for me it'd be a bit further in the future. Still an army of one here. Good to know you enjoy the topic as well as I do. What did you do to minimize the damage?

I like @SWSSMSS's idea better :smile: Pour out a couple of mugs while being able to get some work done in between customers sure beats shoveling snow. Also, we don't really get snow most years. Just a nice, bone chilling cold. Temperatures are mild, but with the rain and the natural humidity...

Hey Woodie, good to have you on board. You're dead right here. It's a book that deserves serveral re reading. Possibly bc one changes while applying it as well. So it makes sense that you pick up other pointers while you're changing yourself. Like the "placing a rock in the river" allegory. I...

Thanks, guys. I do tend to overthink matters :innocent: :halo: What your mentoree "kid" is doing is basically how I want to, in time, expand. I'll start with web dev & hosting packages to not spread myself too thin. As I pick up skills or learn who to outsource to, I'll be offering more...

@George Appiah, like your post about the "kid" a lot. I don't even need to "fake" European presence as I'm here already. Just get a minimum of paperwork in order and get going. Absolutely. I kept on tweaking my resume and made a personalised cover letter after a while. Even cold called...

Researching tax law and consulting, does that count? Or is that action faking? I'm more scared of being bitch slapped by the govt then I am of the possibilities of not earning.

Seems like even PP needs to have a business name... I agree for the most part. However, all this paperwork detracts from putting in extraordinary effort. With the words of Peter Drucker: Don't understand what you meant here. Is it possible to do business without all the paperwork? Yes. Even...

Thanks, Andy! I know Rob. He's awesome! $5k in 90 days does sound swell! Esp. if I don't need the entire business paperwork bullshit set up yet :D

The course was in the 2 years. And the "getting a job" part was what all the mails were for.

Hi Bekit. Nice to meet you and thank you for replying. From the business owners I've talked to, it's all too clear I need to be able to write up invoices so they can deduct the site from their costs. So I would have to set up shop to get in the game... On the other hand, especially with being...
