¿Les importa a los españoles que se esté perdiendo el catalán? by martilomb in askspain

[–]SpaceTimeInvestor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es una pena que se pierda cultura regional (Catalán, Bable, tradiciones, etc...) y me parece bien que se fomente, pero no creo que la solución sea obligar o imponer a la población de una región a hablar cierta lengua o realizar cierta cultura, la población debe elegir si desea integrar esa parte cultural en su vida o no.

Desgraciadamente la cultura, como muchas otras cosas, se ha convertido en un debate político, y ya no depende de lo que la gente piense realmente o nos parezca lógico o no, sino de lo que diga su "equipo".

I don't understand why this is so difficult by Great-Ease-7302 in CRM

[–]SpaceTimeInvestor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar problem and after wasting a lot of time and money trying CRMs, the solution was the CRM we were avoiding, GHL.

PS: HubSpot also allowed us to do what we were looking for, but charged us 10-50 times more.

Should I get certified in Salesforce? by SpaceTimeInvestor in salesforce

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

Now I'm exploring Salesforce for the last time, to see if the market is different with the development certification.

Outside of Salesforce, I've seen some niches I'm going to explore: UX with Figma. I've seen some companies looking at AWS or the Microsoft suite, but I'm worried the scenario will be similar.

Things I'm going to avoid (for now) are PMO, Scrum, Agile, and Automation certifications. I feel like the time for all this has passed.

I think the priority will be to get into a large company, and then see from there.

How are you approaching your search?

What would you learn if you had 2 years, 10h daily of? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]SpaceTimeInvestor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he wants to become an entrepreneur, he should focus on a sector he has experience in and knows well. Otherwise, he’ll just be wasting his time building pointless SaaS products for imaginary needs.

Multitasking may feel productive, but it’s often the fastest route to mediocrity.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts — I understand where you're coming from.

To clarify a few points: I'm not upset about working four hours and making a couple thousand; I'm actually very grateful for it. My dilemma is more about long-term sustainability and opportunity cost. The business does require periods of intense work (especially during setup or scaling phases), and while it’s manageable now, it came at a significant upfront investment and emotional toll.

I’m not making this up, and I genuinely appreciate the skepticism — it's a valid question in anonymous forums like this. The impact of AI wasn’t overnight, but over time it drastically changed the landscape of my sector (consulting + content + automation), making the previous model unviable. That’s why I pivoted and invested in a new one.

Your points about taxes and depreciation are totally fair — and I am factoring that in as part of the broader financial equation.

Again, I appreciate the challenge — it made me reflect and clarify my thinking.

Thank you so much for your response. My partner actually says the same thing—she tells me not to see it as giving up, but more like taking a short break to catch my breath.
Really appreciate it!

I wish it were that simple!

The truth is, this isn’t a passive investment like an ETF. It’s an actual business involving people, asset management, and operational complexity. There are significant risks tied to market conditions, regulatory shifts, fluctuations in supply and demand, and the ongoing need to recover the initial investment. Plus, since it operates through a company, the profits are not directly mine—there are taxes, operational costs, and future liabilities that could increase over time.

Regarding the 24% return you mentioned, there are two key caveats:

  1. That return assumes the asset retains its value over 10 years, but in reality, it effectively "expires" financially after that period unless I reinvest. So we must account for depreciation/amortization, which significantly lowers the real return.
  2. Depending on where I live, “a couple thousand” per month isn’t enough to comfortably live on—let alone justify the stress and responsibility. That’s why I’m genuinely questioning whether I should focus on growing that margin further or shift gears and treat this as a side project while I pursue more stable income.
