| Been traveling for the past 8 years. Still traveling. Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:59 PM PDT Been traveling for the past eight years, and the past four years with my wife. Saw the waterfalls of Iceland and Norway, the grand majestic Victoria Falls of Africa, the Grand Canyon — nature's own cathedral. Cried there during a partly cloudy sunset because it was so beautiful. Blasted the soundtrack to Harry Potter on our Airpods at the Cliffs of Moher. Dined at the French Riviera for a bit, went island hopping in Southeast Asia for a while, and engorged ourselves with authentic pho. Smoked weed in Colorado and Amsterdam, drank Ayahuasca in Brazil, meditated with Tibetan monks, and smoked DMT with three nuns in the Vatican. We've mostly avoided the rest of China for now, since that place is scary. Has a dystopian government that harvests people's organs, no matter if you're Falun Gong or just a suspicious American tourist. It's like they took every dystopian cliche they could find and used them as instructions. Filled our bellies with sushi in Japan and splurged on galbi in South Korea. Did the VR Mario Kart thing in Tokyo. Seen so many other sights that have been heaven on earth — the hearty rolling fields of Tuscany, the hobbit shires of New Zealand, half the national parks of North America (tbh, the western half is so enchanting, most of the eastern half is ordinary). Can't forget Yosemite Valley — probably the best. Also cried there because it was so beautiful. How did we do all of this? Well, the key is to forget about a mortgage (partially from Latin mortuus meaning 'dead') and to not put all of your eggs in one basket. Had one business that failed after five years, and if it hadn't been for my other online ventures that were still thriving, my butt would probably be glued to some lousy chair inside some lousy box — COUGH, house — right now. Many startups fail after five years, and I wasn't immune to that. Always be creating; always be making something, doing something. Always have a backup plan. As long as there's a market for it and you've tested the market for it, no matter how ridiculous your idea may seem to you at first, you must learn to overcome your own and other people's doubts no matter how painful it is; you must believe in yourself. You can't go anywhere without belief. You must believe in your own product(s) and service(s). And focusing on only one basket only sets yourself up for the guillotine. Always be hustling, always be daydreaming — just like Elon Musk. His parents and friends thought he was deaf when he was young, because he would always be staring off into the distance when people were talking to him. His parents had him undergo ear surgery because of that. Nothing was wrong with his hearing — he was just always pondering the plethora of possibilities. Never be satisfied with mediocrity. Never settle down in a box, always rent the things you need (except for your PC), never own. Airbnb, rental houses, and rental cars have been my life for the past eight years and it's absolute freedom. No matter where you go like this, you have zero weight on your shoulders. You like gaming? Buy a lightweight gaming laptop, you can game wherever you go and you'll have a powerful portable workstation. I can't stress the importance of having multiple baskets. In the IT world they call this "never having a single point of failure". You can do anything with your life with much less worry when you have multiple safety nets going on for you at once. "Achieve victory first, and then do battle" — Sun Tzu, Art of War. Here's a back-of-the-napkin method you can use to identify the attractiveness of any potential market. Rate each of the 10 factors below on a scale of 0 to 10, where zero is extremely unattractive and 10 is extremely attractive. When in doubt, be conservative in your estimate: Urgency — how badly do people want or need this right now? (Renting an old movie is typically low urgency; seeing a new picture on opening night is high urgency, since it only happens once.) Market Size — How many people are actively purchasing things like this? (The market for underwater basket weaving courses is very small; the market for cancer cures is massive.) Pricing Potential — what is the highest average price a purchaser would be willing to spend for a solution? (Lollipops sell for $0.05; aircraft carriers sell for billions.) Cost of Customer Acquisition — how easy is it to acquire a new customer? On average, how much will it cost to generate a sale, both in money and effort? (Restaurants built on interstate highways spend little to bring in new customers. Government contractors can spend millions landing procurement deals.) Cost of Value-Delivery — how much would it cost to create and deliver the value offered, both in money and effort? (Delivering files via the Internet is almost free; inventing a product and building a factory costs millions.) Uniqueness of Offer — how unique is your offer versus competing offerings in the market, and how easy is it for potential competitors to copy you? (There are many hair salons, but very few companies that offer private space travel.) Speed to Market — how quickly can you create something to sell? (You can offer to mow a neighbor's lawn in minutes; opening a bank can take years.) Up-Front Investment — how much will you have to invest before you're ready to sell? (To be a housekeeper, all you need is a set of inexpensive cleaning products. To mine for gold, you need millions to purchase land and excavating equipment.) Up-Sell Potential — are there related secondary offers that you could also present to purchasing customers? (Customers who purchase razors need shaving cream and extra blades as well; buy a Frisbee, and you won't need another unless you lose it.) Evergreen Potential — once the initial offer has been created, how much additional work will you have to put into it in order to continue selling? (Business consulting requires ongoing work to get paid; a book can be produced once, then sold over and over as-is.) When you're done with your assessment, add up the score. If the score is 50 or below, move onto another idea — there are better places to invest your energy and resources. If the score is 75 or above, you have a very promising idea — full speed ahead. Anything between 50 and 75 has the potential to pay the bills, but won't be a home run without a huge investment of energy and resources, so plan accordingly. For fresh entrepreneurs, the best ventures require the least up-front investments. That's how I started. Start small, and don't try to scale too quickly or you'll crash and burn. But don't let a lack of capital stop you. Most people think to themselves, "Oh I'll chase this dream when I'm older and have more experience," or... "I'll finish this project when I have enough of a cushion in my bank account," or if they're a woman... "The world of entrepreneurship is only for men." No. These are limiting beliefs. The time to start is now, and you'll be a dried up old fart before you start chasing your dreams if you think like this. Many entrepreneurs grow their startups into multimillion-dollar businesses within their first year with no prior experience — the experience they garner are the mistakes and lessons they learn along the way. And many people with years of business knowledge never launch their first business, but eke out meager lives as business professors. Don't let your limiting beliefs or low self-esteem stop you from chasing your dreams. Anything in life is possible. You can be anyone, you can do anything. Go into a grocery store. Put a shopping cart on your back. Stand up and walk around. You are now a shopping cart turtle. No one can stop you. [link] [comments]  |

| Why is every software business switching to a subscription model? Posted: 10 Oct 2019 07:50 AM PDT I'm going to be writing my thesis on exploring the reasons why software companies are going to be switch to subscription pricing models, and why certain businesses work better with the model than others. However, I cannot find any decent peer review journal articles for my literature review and so I am calling to Reddit for any help [link] [comments]  |

| Managers: why are there so many horrible ones? Posted: 10 Oct 2019 02:16 PM PDT I've been in the work force about 5 years. I'm wondering a few things about managers and directors. The ones I work with do absolutely nothing. They delegate all day, from above and from below. They claim to different departments they're busy doing work for the other, then refuse to take accountability when they get caught lying about what they're doing. They allow others below them to perform all the work, then take credit for the results. My manager does nothing on the task side, and nothing on the business side (the business has been asking why she can't help out). How are there so many people promoted to these high paying, powerful positions that are so poorly qualified for them and put so much work on their high performers? I need answers. Just how?
