I'm just in the process of starting my disso write up, I just can't find the motivation for some reason. I know once I start I'll beast it though.
I hear you man, perhaps you can spend a year saving up some money and doing some market research to really ensure that to possibility or succeeding outweighs the possibility of not succeeding in the business that you're planning.
The thing with business is, this is what my peers have taught me over the years, that if there is a genuine need for whatever you're providing in the market then if you carry the basics out with perfection, over time it'll all begin the fall in to place. Naturally, the first year may be hard financially and you'll stress like **** thinking you blew your investment, but it should fall in to place. Don't underestimate the research though, once you've thought about stuff, think through it again and again and again, until you find any possible flaws, when you don't then you just bite the bullet and go for it.
I'm actually in talks now (as it happens) with two potential partners to start off a business with (I can't fund it alone initially), and if all goes right it should fall in to place in the summer. I'll have to get a loan too - so this needs to work for me haha.
The aim is to get so ****ing huge that I can one day fund all my charitable plans, to live in a free hold house, to take a holiday whenever I wish without worrying about funds and to provide a platform for my future kids to build on.
The SHOO empire, watch this space
My above post leads me on to this:-
What is a desirable income that you guys will be ok with. Where you'll feel that you pretty much "made it"?
I'll go first - £500,000 p/a
A free hold house (preferably built from scratch, it would be considerably cheaper that way), two cars, Arsenal season ticket (obvs), enough to fund various charitable plans that I have and to not be in any sort of debt.
I can't stand people who try and tell me that my aspirations are too high and that I should settle for something more humble. If I don't have a problem with you settling for lower future targets financially, why should you have a problem with mine?

tbh I thought that sounded pretty high, then you said Arsenal season ticket.
What sr90 said. Step into the real world please lads. I'm not so much arsed about money as I am having a job where I actually look forward to going into work every day and that's what I hope to do.
No job will pay you £500k p/a. You basically need to have started a successful business or have got a buy-to-let empire.

Completely agree.
Job satisfaction > Money

Roast potatoes and gravy? Bit too English for my liking.
Agree with ATCQ.

Added some salt and pepper to the mixture. Honestly just felt like doing a semi racist post to English people's food.

I'm not expecting a £500k salaried job, that doesn't happen in an ideal world - not unless you're a very small minority.
My means of achieving my target will be via business. One leads to another, revenues grow and eventually so do profits. If I want to be successful in what I do I basically don't stop growing until I get where I want to be. Growth happen in so many ways. It can be in my own business, to buy an additional business with a good-will and an infrastructure that already words, to climb up the property ladder etc.
You guys are making it sound impossible, it's far from it so long as you play your cards right. It's been done many times before and there's no reason why it won't happen now.
Also, I'm not going to be 22 forever. I obviously need to start somewhere, even if it's working for someone for £18-20k for a year or two.

A successful businessman probably earns more than £500k, it's really not as hard as everyone makes it out to be.
The pharmacist that I once worked for invested £100k when he opened up his own pharmacy and in his second year he was already turning over £1.2m, with profits of near £300k. On top of that he's a landlord of 5 properties - all occupied by tenants. This is just him growing. He's only 30, and he opened up his pharmacy at a location where he is opposite superdrug, around the corner to boots and surround by 3 independent pharmacies that have occupied the area for over 10 years.
It's how you play your cards, when you play them, the research and the hard work that you put in.
It's just an example and it relates to me because we grew up in the same estate, went to the same primary and secondary schools etc.
It's really not as impossible as some make it out to be.

**** man. Just ****ed up my HMRC Assessment Centre.

What happened?
Is this the Tax specialist programme? I remember looking at that but the Maths was absolutely brutal, I am normally really good with numerical reasoning tests but I failed that one miserably. As did Eboracum.

Nah, Data Analyst. Interview was fine. But then there was a 155 minute analysis test, role-play included. My brain exploded. I'm sure Eb is still in one HMRC program, can't remember which one.

That comment was the one that made me think that was what you were up to lol.
Then I saw you posted another thread and said American food was one of the best and I knew you were trolling at that point.

Don't eat that sort of stuff often but my nan gave me a cook book with all stuff she does in it so might start cooking that, big on Mexican food though, much better imo.
Mole poblano, mixiotes, carnitas, cueritos all excellent meat dishes.
Did some nice rice last night. Seasoned, put some cholula in it, salsa & kidney beans. Big boy meal.
