Advice for an 18 y/o starting a consultancy company
2025.01.27 19:28 EnthusiasmThick3647 Advice for an 18 y/o starting a consultancy company
I totally understand how crazy this sounds, for someone with no industry experience & limited network to be doing this. Please read on and I will give some context.
I currently run a 1-man Automation Consultancy company.
It started with my dad was continually asking me for help with certain projects at his work, specifically with automating processes, whether that be me producing specialised hardware electronics or building VBA scripts. I worked on multiple projects for free, solving issues that they had been working on for months, with management estimating a five-year saving from these projects at about 500k in total.
This made me realise I had a useful skillset, and have since landed paid orders with a number of companies - including multi-billion dollar corporations - with moderate success, but currently seem to have hit a ceiling, especially on the sales front. Yeah, these companies are planning to come back for repeat business, but I am not getting the volume I would like (I don't really care about the income, more I gain satisfaction from doing good work and scaling the business).
On average I am doing a high 4 figure, low 5 figure deal for a month of part time work maybe 3 times a year. And yes, I understand the money is incredible for my age.
I feel the sales bottleneck is the size of my network, and would appreciate any advice on sales, but also any words of wisdom you all have for me. Its all appreciated.
Thank you all for your time.
Some context:
- I am currently in higher education
- The income is basically irrelevant to me at present. I'd happily put it away in long term savings. I am not a flashy person and the feeling of scaling the business is more important than any income that the company produces from doing so
- I will not, under pretty much any circumstances, drop out of higher education
2025.01.27 19:28 Flaky_Shape6628 Struggle with old school controls
I love booting up my Sega Mega Drive, the nostalgia hits hard. There’s something so comforting about the sound of that startup logo and revisiting games like SOR, Sonic, and Golden Axe.
But I really struggle adjusting to the old clunky controls. Like going from SOR4 on the switch to SOR1 on Sega is tough going. Think I'm just spoiled and used to modern fluid controls.
It's not enough to make me stop playing completely but I also can't play for an extended amount of time.
Anyone else struggle with the adjustment?

Every time I go out to my car I might as well start recording. Exactly there, as soon as I get to my car the light, the "drone," and then this.
I dont want to post on here, but I feel you should see this and judge for yourself.

2025.01.27 19:28 Ok_Fox_9074 Calling all parents!
Did you have children before your awakening? How do you talk to your children about what we are? I have 3 boys, 8,7, &6 who I practice gentle sleep meditation with but being I don’t have a church like place of awakened gatherers to go and follow, I’m at a bit of a loss as move forward or when to move forward.
Are there groups for parents who experienced awakening after having kids?

2025.01.27 19:28 Anuthill AMD Driver uninstalls itself after black screen while gaming
Hey, I have been using this setup for almost 2 years right now and for the last 1 year I have this big issue. While gaming screens randomly goes black/offline. After couple of this happens my second screen goes no signal and my main screen stays black. So all I can do is reset my computer. When I restart it AMD deletes the drivers so everytime I go safety mod, launch up DDU, do a clean delete just to make sure and re-install the amd drivers. It happens every 2 days or so.
Like I already mentioned I already tried the DDU but it doesn't help.
Here is my system:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Motherboard: PRO B650-P WIFI
RAM: 2X16 GB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700XT
Please, I need all the help I can get. Thanks!

Which Do You Prefer?](https://preview.redd.it/iywj0rwd8lfe1.jpeg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e1260172a723827b84f9607afe2abe7bef9a9653 "[Seiko x TiCTAC] SZSB006 vs SZSB032 - Which Do You Prefer? Which Do You Prefer?") | I debated for a long time and ended up buying both🙈 These are the Seiko TiCTAC 35th & 40th Anniversary Limited Edition. The black SZSB006 is the 35th anniversary edition released in 2019, while the white SZSB032 is the 40th anniversary edition released in November 2024. Both of these watches are "JDM" versions, meaning they are Japan-exclusive (of course, we can purchase them through various platforms). The two watches have identical specifications. Given the current understanding of watches, specs for this watch with a price of around $350 might seem a bit overpriced. But putting the price aside, which one do you prefer? submitted by jwennnnnnn to Watches [link] [comments] |

2025.01.27 19:27 azgioc Why don’t they say the same thing?
Why do people tell single mothers or those who want to be intentionally single mothers (with sperm donor or otherwise) “every child needs a father figure” but I’ve never heard anyone tell a widow with your “well your kids needs a father figure so you have to get married ASAP”
Aren’t they essentially the same thing?
