   Second this. It works for me. I'd recommend being brief and not to go overboard on the sales chat, just a simple and clear ask.

   I always felt like I was biding my time and not in a rush. Finally something changed in me that made me realise that the time is now. It wasn't an external change in the market or in an opportunity, but just knowing that this is what I

    Ah okay I see thank you. I bet there are many places using paper and excel so there will definitely be room for your product. I've been in the lending market before, we partnered with banks to do it e.g. Alior in Poland. So the busines

    I still dont understand the proposition. Do you want to make loans to employees and get repayment from their salary like the link? Or provide employees with financial education? I have experience in the Polish financial services market, and

    If the employer already has access to the employee bank account (e.g. to pay salary) then do they need your service?

    Ah yes makes sense, it seems solar, then wind, would be easier to harness. I just look at the ocean and see all that potential in the waves...!

    I've always wondered why we can't do more with the kinetic energy of the ocean. I know there are many projects and tidal energy companies. But considering the scale of the ocean, waves, and so on, I've always been interested

    Removed all non essential apps from my phone helped. Non essential is subjective of course, but for me meant social media (I now only use 1 platform but on my laptop), YouTube was a massive time waster for me, Reddit. Another comment said t

    Another angle, maybe you have to churn through many (hundreds?) of ideas before you get to one you really want to see through.

    When I was young, the Wilbur Smith novels dealing with the Courtney's, especially When The Lion Feeds. Also around that time, the WWII novel series by Sven Hassel. Great adventure stories.

    As are Berkshire Hathaway, Ford, Cisco, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft. But that's not the point, the point I'm making is a solvent business should have cash reserves.

    Thanks, yes I agree with your point on competition eroding margins. But I think it is nuanced, not all successful business have slim margins, many are awash with cash, Apple for example.

    Thanks, this is worth debating. Is this QE surgical rather than broad based, I can't see how it's precise and not broad? We can avoid the debate of which businesses need propped up by not propping any up. Yes an immediate response

    "There's so many businesses that legitimately operate on tight margins, it's kinda the point of capitalism" I dont think that's true. Also, the business model isn't legitimate if it needs a bail out.

    I'm no expert. But I'm concerned about quantitative easing. Introduction of massive amounts of money erodes the value of peoples savings. Propping up some businesses might not be a good idea, some business should fail if they ar
