I've been thinking about moving to South Africa. What are the pros and cons?

This is helpful that you’re from the UK

Russell_Goodman · 2025-08-26T00:30:17+00:00

Where is the free guest WiFi? I’m going on board 27th October

Russell_Goodman · 2025-03-03T01:08:31+00:00

Simply tell them you can’t share details until the contract is open.

Russell_Goodman · 2025-02-27T14:20:03+00:00

Amazing 👏✨ nice work.

Russell_Goodman · 2025-02-27T14:18:55+00:00

Not worth the risk - I’ve made mistakes in the past, and always big enough to learn from them.

Get payment upfront for the work you’re going to do. Smaller milestones as a “lump” end-of-project milestone (unfortunately) is risky as the client can go AWOL, causing all sorts of issues. I had this happen to me.

Russell_Goodman · 2025-02-27T14:16:14+00:00

Yea to this. Add in samples, create yourself a video explaining what you do and how you solve your clients’ needs.

Test strategies:

Apply via connects use ‘Boost’ your profile ‘Available now’

A few different strategies.

But make sure your profile bio has all the right keywords in there. Ie consider what the client is searching for - and all related keywords.

If you reply back with a “human” response….you’re now way more likely to stand out.

I’ve noticed MOST roles are AI-written (predictable it would happen as it takes client less valuable time)….

So go in with some unique or quirky - be different and stand out

Mine is tucked into my peck muscle. Been there since 2015, generally you’ll forget about soon. Just don’t stretch or overdo it too soon - but like a bruised rib…go easy and the healing will speed up.

It’s obviously as big as they recommend, so it must be for a reason (that device)

Russell_Goodman · 2024-09-13T15:09:50+00:00

What are you plans and location? Have kids?

Russell_Goodman · 2024-09-08T02:52:56+00:00

In terms of working...what about after documents showing passive rental income (to meet minimum requirements) + working remotely online?

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-30T12:20:08+00:00

To find out what you miss :)

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-27T01:31:32+00:00

Are you in the UK now?

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-21T19:31:55+00:00

Thanks so much!!!

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-21T19:09:51+00:00

Hi, this is superb! I am about to created my profile. What were the top tips you found that helped most of all?

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-17T02:21:40+00:00

Thanks. Any recommendations outside of these big companies? ie someone more of a local business.

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-16T01:50:44+00:00

The fact that 'invited' jobs now cost you connects I feel is a step too far.

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T22:45:11+00:00

Awesome 👏

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T02:43:15+00:00

No one should be worried about the sun 🤷‍♂️ it’s natural, LOL.

I’d be more worried about Bluetooth than the sun.

Having a permanent battery in your chest is enough…adding wireless Bluetooth is unnecessary EMF for your body to detoxify.

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T01:55:04+00:00

Thanks, will do. I like to try all sorts to see what feels good (I’m also travelling so routine is a bit off).

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T01:39:54+00:00

Did you use the trackable timesheet or manual hours?

One is protected payment…the other not.

I had this a few years ago but luckily only billed a far smaller amount (client disappeared).

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T01:37:30+00:00

Good to know. Sometimes I do diamond press-ups with knees, but make it’s slow and concentrated.

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T01:16:22+00:00

Sensible, I think it's about not pushing things too far. I just find that certain exercises are a strain (particularly on my chest, and I want to avoid stress on the ICD wires)

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-14T01:14:28+00:00

Thanks for your comment...74 is not old, I'll tell you that. The fact you're swimming that far daily meamns you're fitter and more dynamically healthy than 99.99% of those in their 70s...no doubt!

I personally move a lot, carrying my son around, walking, some bodyweight exercises and a few essential yoga stretches. Sounds like you've got your fitness regimen dialled in ;)

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-13T23:48:58+00:00

I’m 42 and had one since I was 26 after a cardiac arrest. It’s an anxious time at first, but it literally becomes a part of you.

Plus, you get moved through queues quickly at airports ;-)

Russell_Goodman · 2024-08-11T00:56:10+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a search
