| How We Saw An Opportunity to Compete With The Big 4’s Data Science Teams Posted: 11 Oct 2019 07:26 AM PDT I saw a data model produced by one of the Big 4 accounting firms that cost a fortune (more than my yearly salary), and I was building much more sophisticated models for my employer. Jess and I were working together, and the next day I went into the office and told her 'what if we start building the same cool stuff we do at work, but for other people? There is obviously a need for it'. Jess smiled and didn't say anything. Three days later she texted me and said 'let's do it.' Our first project was such a crazy time. We were still at our full-time jobs, Karina was studying for her CPA exams, we were working late nights, weekends, rushing across Sydney for meetings during lunch breaks, barely sleeping, but we were on top of the world. After completing the project we knew we were onto a winner. We cracked open a bottle of champagne and quit our jobs the next day. Karina: We have never raised money. DataMinds is a consultancy, we don't have any significant upfront costs like companies that develop a product (apps) or retailers, who need to buy stock. Our revenue covers our salaries and other overheads and allows us to grow organically. Potentially one day if we come up with the product idea or decide to expand rapidly, we would seek investment. How do you attract clients? Jessica: Our clients range from tech start-ups through to established enterprises and government. Any organisation that is collecting and storing data needs to be utilising the insights in that data to improve and innovate, otherwise the data just becomes a liability. DataMinds helps organisations do that by providing analytics and data science consulting services. Karina: To find our first couple of clients, we spammed the whole world. We called/texted/emailed everyone and anyone we knew or heard of. Sometimes I was walking down streets and writing down any companies name I was able to notice in order to email them later. So it was all cold-calling, cold-emailing at first. Luckily later we started getting clients by word of mouth. Jessica: One of the more strange projects we've had has been to analyse traffic from adult sites. Karina and I would be sitting at our desks discussing which 'acting' category would convert better. In the end, no matter what the industry, data is data. How did you fund the idea initially? Jessica: The early stages of DataMinds was basically a year of blood, sweat, tears, and rejections. No one knew who we were, the value of data science was still not widely understood, and we pitched to a lot of people who just couldn't believe that two blonde women could have the experience and technical skills to be data scientists. It was a tough few months, but we persevered, built up our network, secured a couple of small projects that then led to big projects, and built up our reputation. Karina: Finding our first full-time employee was a very hard task for us. It is a huge responsibility. When you hire somebody, you become responsible for them, their families, mortgages. We are totally bootstrapped, we don't have any funding so we always knew even if we have very bad months we still would have to pay salaries, potentially from our savings accounts. Also, Jess and I have been working together for a long time and thoughts about bringing in somebody new to a dream-team really scared me. At first we hired a couple of contract employees, to see if we have enough of work of everyone, and a few months later we found our third Musketeer, the first full-time employee. I think when you are a small team, cultural fit is very important. So I would suggest having a couple of interview rounds and get every team member to the interview, to make sure they are comfortable with the new addition to the family. What were your family and friends first thoughts you creating your own your company? Karina: My family was very unsupportive with the idea of me running a business. Every phone call was starting with the phrase "When would you find a proper office job?". Japanese language has a beautiful word "Kuyashii" which is "when somebody says you can't do something and you have this burning desire to prove them wrong". I think this is how I felt back then. I guess my parents attitude kept pushing me no matter what. In contrast, my friends were very positive about my decision to quit a full time job and start an entrepreneurial journey. What is the end goal? Karina: Aston Martin is my ultimate end goal! Jokes aside, I think nothing motivates you better than hunger and absence of plan B. I grew up in poverty: post Soviet time, potato for breakfast, lunch and dinner, clothes made out of curtains, playing football with dead pigeon. I am obviously over exaggerating , however it was very hard from time to time. So I think some kind of fear of poverty pushes me when things go wrong. Also, I know that crisis is a temporary thing and sooner or later things get easier. I am proud of every project we do. Whether I am fixing financial model for the bank, or writing scripts to do sentiment analysis of CRM data for a retail company, I got very excited by final results. However, there is one project that I am incredibly passionate about. We work with a government agency where results of our job can literally save somebody's life. For me it is an honour to use my skills with such amazing purpose. This project even changed my parents' opinion about my business, I think they are very proud of me now. Do you have any advice for someone starting out? 1) find a mentor. On the various stages of maturity of your business you potentially need different people with different experience and skills. Sometimes you just need someone external, who is not emotionally attached to the business and can give you an objective opinion. 2) done is better than perfect. Your product/idea/services will never be perfect, so you just need to go to the market to test it out and see if there is any need for it. What are the top 3-5 apps your business could not run without? Aside from the tools and apps that we use for our data science and analytics work, we keep everything else pretty simple. Xero has been brilliant for our accounting. It's user-friendly and inexpensive. LinkedIn is great for networking. Everyone seems to use Slack, but we tried it and found it to be another annoying thing to keep track of, so we just stick with Outlook for most of our communication. Are there any new services you're working on? And would you ever sell? Jessica: I'd love to continue to grow our team while retaining our culture and values. We take a lot of pride in the work we do, and we have a no-BS approach that keeps it real both within our team and with our clients. Everyone knows exactly what's going on, what to expect, what needs to be done, where they stand. I have no time for politics and pointless meetings, and too many brilliant companies have fallen victim to growing too quickly and ending up going down that route. We all work really hard to keep pushing the envelope to stay ahead of the curve and solve problems with the latest data science techniques and technology. There are so many important problems out there that still need to be solved. Karina: As for selling the company - never say never, however it is not in our plans for the nearest future. I love coming to our office; I absolutely enjoy meeting new people and learning about other businesses, even if it involves a stressful pitch at the beginning of the conversation; I like dynamic of entrepreneurial journey. DataMinds might pivot its direction, we might start providing other services as well or develop a product, but I am not sure if I want to sell it. If you enjoyed this interview, the original is here.

| Posted: 11 Oct 2019 08:39 AM PDT Two years ago I started an e-commerce business. Its a daily grind. It's a ton of work. There's always something to do. My sales trickle in on a weekly basis. I sell a low cost item so I need a LOT of sales to move the needle. The product is something that I love and other's do too. Never a bad review and rarely a customer complaint. Its a winning item. However it is in a competitive category with a lot of other winners. Its hard trying to find a way to reach my audience and build my brand. I've tried Google ad-words. Nada. I've tried Facebook marketing. Crickets. I've tried sponsored posts. Nothing. I've tried physical events and trade shows. But I enjoy my quiet weekends. I've tried content marketing and writing blog posts. This takes time. I felt like nothing was working. In the meantime I stopped promoting sales to put my time and efforts into other projects. But the sales still came. I never asked for reviews, but the 5-Stars kept coming. I received a nice review from a name that I looked familiar "I cant tell you how much I love [your product]. I have told everyone I know about your brand. I have thrown away all my other [product]. I cant wait for you to release your next design! Oh and thank you so much for leaving a comment on Instagram photo - it means the world to me!" SO - wanna know what works? Engagement. When I leave a comment on Instagram, they inquire. When I leave a comment on a blog, they dig deeper. When I send an email blast that has NOTHING to do with my item or a discount, they purchase. I've learned that being a part of someone else's interest will reciprocate and they suddenly find interest in YOU. It's hard to scale engagement, but it's something to try with when you are down. I almost quit. Running your own business is hard. It's a ton of work. Nothing comes easy. But start engaging with your audience and you will find WHAT WORKS for you.

| On quitting a $14k a month job to travel the world in a Jeep (seats available) Posted: 11 Oct 2019 11:02 AM PDT Hi, My story is a bit unconventional –but is there a conventional story out there anyway? We all come to the table with a different perspective on life. A different starting point. A different path. A different way to interpret events. I started in the wedding photography business when I was 16 years old (I'm 27 now), charging up to $2k per wedding. I left the wedding industry to try something different after a few years. It was a dream of mine to work in the oil and gas and mining industry, for whatever reason. I made well for myself. Worked in the gold mine of northern Canada. Worked in the pipeline industry of Alberta. Bought every dream cars that I dreamt of. Went to every places on the planet that I wanted to visit. Drove 200 000 miles of roads in the Americas (Alaska to Argentina) in a convertible just to see the world and wrote a book about what's right and what's wrong in this world. Took the time to read 500 non-fiction books in 1000 days. I mean, I went hard. I just "retired" two weeks ago. Retirement is when your second bucketlist is achieved haha. Made it to the top, now I want to start a new thing. So I drove across the country with my car and belongings last week. I'm at my parent's place right now, looking at my options. I can do anything I want; go anywhere, do anything. Question: What do you do when you've done everything on your bucketlist? Question: What do you do when you have nothing left to do? Question: Where do you go when you have nowhere else to go? Well, I figured for now that the show must go on, so I'm shipping my Jeep from South America to Spain this winter and will drive from Ibiza to Mongolia with it. Does anyone want to come? I went so hard that I don't fit in normal society. I lived the equivalent of 3 lifetimes in the last 10 years. Most of my friends are in their late 30s or even 40s...no one has a spare 6 months of their life to road trip half of the world in a convertible Wrangler. People love the idea, just not enough to drop everything haha. So I quit my high paying job as a mine supervisor to chase something new. I have made money: now what? Build the most beautiful world, for sure. How? Where to start? I'm calling on the architect of the better world here. If you are interested in changing the world, seeing the world, travelling the world, PM me. I got a few ideas in mind. One of them includes driving. Cheers, EDIT: Someone pointed out that I should not have mentioned the fact that I left a good paid job. He's right. At the time, it felt appropriate, but the more I think of it, the less it's important. The fact is this: The top is lonely, sometimes. It's like, what do you do, when you've done everything? Building a better world.

| What are some good ways to find mentors, and what's in it for them? Posted: 11 Oct 2019 05:35 PM PDT Some background info: I'm a recent graduate with a business economics degree, and I feel like I know enough to understand that I don't nearly know enough. At the moment I've got a job at a "coordinator" position with some nice people, but not my field and not what I want to do. I've been getting some practice in data management in this job which I hope helps me with my career choice in the future but I have no idea if that is even remotely good enough. In university I've enjoyed statistics, data management/organization, and project management/feasibility courses the most, but I feel like I will forget all I've learned before I finally get a chance to use it. I'm starting my own business on the side. It involves subcontractors for jobs I find, so nothing too fancy, and it has been a very slow start so far: All I've done was I just created the business and am going through the seemingly endless process of creating a website up to my standards. I understand people suggest "getting" mentors for this type of thing, but the concept is completely wild to me. I have no idea how to do it. I saw an ad for meeting mentors or something at the government location where I've "created" my business, but it involved paying hundreds of dollars to mingle with people at a bar or something, making me feel like that is not a good environment for meeting the right mentor. Questions: 1) so where do I go to find a mentor? 2) what's in it for them? Why do people want to spend their time mentoring, and what does it usually involve? 3) would you say finding a mentor is right for me? 4) any specific suggestions for finding mentors in or around the GTA here in Canada? 5)how expensive is it? 6) any stories from past experiences? Final notes: Thank you all for reading and answering any of the above questions! While I'm very interested in all the above questions, I feel past experience stories would help me and others on this thread the most! Thank you all for your time!!

| Posted: 11 Oct 2019 07:38 AM PDT I've got some money (around $25,000) that I'm willing to invest but I'm not willing to quit my well paying day job that allowed me to accumulate some disposable income to begin with. I'm trying to think of a side gig that I could do in the evenings or weekends, or pay someone else to operate while I am at work during the week. I've considered tree trimming and removal, and I could finance the truck, buy the equipment, become a licensed arborist fairly easily, and hire some guy to do any of the work that has to be done during business hours. Problem is finding a trustworthy operator when I'm starting out and can't guarantee any particular number of hours. If I could only service home owners on the weekends, I think this is unlikely to be profitable, in any amount of time. I'm connected enough with a couple local contractors that I could probably pick up some sub contractor work. I've considered a food truck but I probably don't have enough cash in hand to start one of these and not confident enough to start borrowing money for this. My research has found out that a lot of people who know more about this than me have still failed at the food truck game. The market is also very saturated here (Colorado). I've considered mobile auto detailing as it is a hobby and passion of mine. I have plenty of money to start doing this, but just not convinced that there is a market for high end auto detailing. Plenty of people want a car wash but much fewer people want a full detail with paint correction, ceramic coating, leather conditioning, etc. And most people who want that are either people like me who enjoy DIY or people rich enough they don't mind taking it somewhere with a full detail shop (non-mobile). It would be very difficult to get a foothold in the mobile detailing market. Any other ideas on what side gig I could start without quitting my day job? Open to suggestions. Also, I haven't spent a lot of time on this sub so I'm prepared to be massacred for asking stupid questions if needed.

| Posted: 11 Oct 2019 01:42 PM PDT I hope I've come to the right place. I just need someone to give me their raw facts- struggles, solutions, advice, anything- on starting a tshirt company. I know it's overdone, but it's something I want to try and get into. I think I have a solid idea and a sketched out business plan, I just need the advice to actually start. What were your costs? What was something you wish you had invested in or wished you hadn't? Anything helps!

| The Washington Post is gonna write about my startup next week. How can I leverage this? Posted: 10 Oct 2019 03:11 PM PDT Hey everyone, I just got off the phone with a journalist at the Washington Post and she's agreed to cover my startup next week. Pretty stoked but curious if anyone has advice on how to amplify this / leverage the WaPo coverage into getting other media houses to cover me? I often see that once 1 media shop features a story, others just pile on. How can I make this happen? I'd be super grateful for anyones advice or blogs that you could point me to that explain how to add fuel to the fire. For anyone curious on how I got the Wash Post interested, I basically just tweeted at a specific journalist who works there and succinctly explained what we do. She liked it and asked me to email her. I emailed her a longer pitch. It took her a week to respond but she got back to me and we had a chat over the phone. She's now writing the story and it will be featured sometime next week.

| Where can I sell a 30k male formal fashion Instagram account? Posted: 11 Oct 2019 11:44 AM PDT I have this 30k follower Instagram account in the male formal fashion niche. The page was grown by posting content from other big pages, and using relevant and trending hashtags with them. Sometimes the posts I make would do even better than the original person that made the post. I would make money by selling shoutouts and ad placements on my page, mostly from fashion or apparel brands. I am selling this account because I don't want to run an instagram account anymore. None of my followers were bought, and I have a higher than normal engagement rate for a following o my size (6.52%). Where is a good, and secure place to sell this account?

| What's a good, useful item to sell at gas stations? Posted: 11 Oct 2019 11:20 AM PDT I have a good contact who owns a network of gas stations all over the country. I'm in the caribbean btw. My uncle owns a freight forwarder/courier, which can be used to my advantage to bring in lots of imported/ordered items. What would you say are good items to stock in gas stations? Apart from all the usual stuff you find in convenience stores and typical gas stations. The plan is to sell it to the gas stations to have in stands, or over the counter. Something useful for people stopping by.

| Posted: 11 Oct 2019 09:34 AM PDT Hey guys, It has been a month without an update, a bunch has happened, but things have slowed down. You can find the previous installment here. To recap, in my spare time, I enjoy buying and selling baseball cards. I am fairly active in the hobby and have a bit of success "flipping" cards. I wanted to track $1,000 through the year and see what I can turn it into. I am documenting that here. In part one, I purchased this for $950 before buyer's premium, coming to $1,165 with shipping. After fees, I sold the set for $2,622.79. What Sold A TON HAS SOLD
Purchased
PSA Update Speaking of PSA! I was able to put together a Google Doc with the status of all of my PSA cards. The spreadsheet also includes a summary of where the project is. If you remember, I was previously accounting for each PSA card at $15 (to keep things easy), it looks like the actual average came to $12.82. Since I have so many cards at PSA, I will now track the cost of grading at the actual cost plus $1.00 (to account for the shipping to PSA, supplies, etc). It is still very conservative, and much more accurate. Since the last update, no cards have been returned from PSA. I did also send four cards to SGC (see attached spreadsheet). So, to update the summary:
*-denotes inventory still on hand (see below). Grading Fees: $787.98 Current On Hand Cash: $1029.29 Inventory
There are a few auctions over the next couple weeks. Hopefully I can get some stuff sold before then! ALSO! If anyone is interested in what the financials for this project would look like:
I look forward to continuing to update everyone on this. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.

| Posted: 11 Oct 2019 06:59 AM PDT Sup folks, let's say that you have an idea and need to first recruit someone to develop it on the technical side. After that maybe hire someone that can do the finance for the company and possibly raise money for the company down the line. How would one structure such a thing. Does the founder give away equity in the company to recruit? If equity is given, what is a fair amount to give and what amount should not be given? Does the founder give a salary? What can the founder give that has value to those that might join his team? Thank you!

| Feeling like I might need to learn some copywriting, any tips? Posted: 11 Oct 2019 05:03 AM PDT It's almost been a month since I've started my very first e-Commerce business. Happy to say that this past month I've probably worked harder for myself than I have in years. As I've been trying to run my store (dropshipping), I've come to the realization that there are things that would definitely help me along the way. So I've learned a bit of coding, video editing, photo editing, of course all at a basic level but still plan on learning more as my store becomes more "automated" in a sense. I've quickly noticed when it came to writing for my products description and even making video ads, I just can't seem to word it in a way to really engage the customers and their emotions. So I've never been really aware of the term copywriting or about copywriters, but I'm sure a lot of those selling descriptions and ads are some compelling work of copywriting. Or at least to me. And I've quickly learned for me to get sales, I need to learn how to properly market my products. I've realized that it's not necessarily about the product itself, but also about what the product can do for people. And with proper marketing, you can instill that information to them. I feel like I'm just unable to do that. Reading through my ad creatives somewhat make me cringe. I feel like I'm very redundant when it comes to writing descriptions and ads and over time I just feel like that gets pretty boring over time. I know I'm going on and on but I was just wondering, any body ever started a business and felt the same way? And got better results as you've gotten better with writing? Regardless, it seems like a skill that will definitely get me somewhere when it comes to making my own ads and product descriptions. Hoping I can get some thoughts and tips. Thanks!!
