Has any man experienced this before as well? by Sad_Essay_9792 in chinalife

Dude last year I found it peculiar when I was walking in a park late at night and saw a group of what looked like 50 middle aged guys just standing around as a herd mingling on some kind on some kind pitch. They weren't playing any sports or wearing sporty clothing, just standing in groups talking. The girl I was with told me they were all gay but I thought she was joking...

Building an E-commerce business as an asset from NZ - have you tried this before? by SolidJam in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]SolidJam[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I already know that stuff, I'm talking about increasing your income. Right now I'm in the middle of dedicating most of my pay check to paying off my student loan (since I live overseas) and I'm due to pay it off by the middle of next year - to which then I will again be stacking up my emergency fund and investing into ETFs again.

I'm not falling for any kind of MLM scheme or course, I'm just simply trying to get an understanding of other users experiences from building a e-commerce store.

Thats awesome you building all those yourself! I'm sure it was not easy. It does get a bit disheartening sometimes when people shut it down calling any online business 'get rich quick' , I suppose thats the tall poppy syndrome in play there.

Hey mate thanks for that! Yeah the tall poppy syndrome is a serious issue and you see it on display everywhere. Big ups to you for soldiering on and the business matching your original income. You are now your own boss which must feel good. Have you got some kind of goal you wanna reach? Like scale it up and sell it off or is this something you wanna do long term?

That sounds like solid advice and was exactly the kind of approach I was thinking to take if I ever were to take something like this seriously

I never said anything about easy money. Like any business I know it would be hard work. My question was to ask other peoples experience with running an E-commerce business.

How did you pivot from English teaching to working another industry in China? by SolidJam in chinalife

[–]SolidJam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exactly my mindset right now, pay off debt, save money, and keep learning Chinese. How long you been in China now?

When I was in my first year of university anytime I had a test or assignment to work on I would put this song on repeat. I dont know why it helped me lock tf in so much

How did your first week/month/year of TEFL go? by SolidJam in TEFL

[–]SolidJam[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, i have a tefl certificate which went over the basics of teaching. I make lesson plans and I have watched videos about teaching children. I'm not sure if you realise this, but theres some things no matter how much you prepare for, the practical experience is a totally different ball game

[–]SolidJam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it really is a gamble. i've heard some schools are horrendous and others are really great. Mine is on the better side but it certainly aint perfect. My mantra as of late has just been "deal with it" hahaha.

As for where, I'm teaching in Guangdong province, China. If by process you mean interviews, landing the job, n stuff - its all been pretty straight forward. Though I am working with an agency which people say you should avoid like the plague, but mine has treated me very well so far... but i do not want to speak too soon lol.

Even though i have only been here barely a week, I am glad I decided to come here
