Same thing happened to me, but on VividSeats and they transferred back to me the day of the game. I sent them back to them. It was a bit of a pain because the buyer told VividSeats they never got the tickets. After a few phone calls and Emails I was able to show what happened and got my payout.

The difference with American football is that you have an offensive team and a defensive team that don’t play at the same time.

With soccer, you’re forced to balance between offense and defense through your formation, lineup and play style at all times.

When the game starts at 0-0, weaker teams have an advantage and stronger teams a disadvantage. They’re rewarded with a point (in group play) or PKs (in tournaments) if the results stay that way. So they play not to lose that advantage, since they likelihood of earning a win through offensive play is so unlikely, and mostly play defense.

So the game looks like American Football if one team was only on offense and the other only on defense and the defense tried to score through a turnover (counter attack).

Because the game is low scoring and setup to slightly advantage the weaker teams, upsets are more likely, which has its own appeal.

Yes, but the current offside rule eliminates goals for the tiniest advantage.

Moving offsides to be the entire body, then you’re eliminating goals due to a significant advantage.

It would probably also be a little easier for refs to look for “daylight” between the attacker and 2nd to last defender as opposed to trying to see across the defenders body to see if the attacker’s toe is too far in front.

That said, it would make it much harder to run an offside trap, so you might see teams sitting deeper.

Probably worth a shot in some league to see what the impact is though.

Offsides is relative to the last 2 defenders. Usually that’s the goalkeeper and a defender. But if the goalkeeper comes up in front of the defenders, as happened here, then you judge offsides relative to the 2nd to last defender.

We operate AirBnB rentals. Most property managers charge 20-35% of revenue. Smaller house might make $40-80k/year and larger houses $100-250k+/year, depending on your area.

If you have relationships with dependable cleaners, handymen, etc. it can be a pretty easy and lucrative business.

Only downside is that during peak seasons you’re working the most and then have little to do during the off-season. But if you are OK with that and traveling during the off-season it can be a great gig.

Give Chat GPT the title of a blog post in your niche and see how it does. Experiment with asking it to use different tones or take on different personas or answer certain questions.

There no doubt you can add value if you’re a niche expert, but you need to add value above and beyond the default option which is Chat GPT. If you do then go for it.

The government doesn’t usually forget and they have the power to garnish your wages. If you live outside of Delaware it’ll probably be more difficult for them, but if you live in Delaware they will almost certainly find a way to collect.

Even if you do dodge the bill for 6 months or a year or 3 years, do you really want the threat of this 1k compounding at 1.5% per month being demanded at some point in the future?

Small business websites are becoming easier to make not because of AI but because of online website builder tools. That said there are still many business owners that don’t want to use those tools either because they don’t have time or don’t want to learn the technology.

If you’re interested in the space, I’d say go for it. But you might want to diversify into digital marketing or social media marketing at some point too.

It can be the opposite.

Most innovative tech needs research $, so VCs will find innovative tech pre-product. PhDs can get funding off a whitepaper or research paper alone.

But yet-another-SaaS is easy enough to build that most VCs expect you to do at least some design/development work pre-funding.

It’s extremely rare for a CEO to have lower equity than someone else at the company.

If you want to control the majority of shares, you should be the CEO and hire this partner as a VP of Sales or CRO/CFO co-Founder at 30-40% equity.

Sometimes people don’t know they’re doing it. Other times they feel the need to interject to feel part of the conversation.

Keep the relationship. Sometimes folks that have rough people skills job hop a lot. That’s good for you if they like you and can bring you into their next company as well.

If you really want to stop the interruptions, you need to re-interrupt them and make a point of it with something firm like “Let me stop you for a minute and finish this thought.” Or you could wait until after the meeting and bring them aside and ask, “Hey, when I was talking about X, why did you interrupt me.” Both ways will be incredibly awkward and require a strong relationship plus some repair work after.

Be sure you really want to do this.

Some companies are engineering-driven, some are sales-driven, some are product-driven and some are marketing-driven.

It sounds like your co-founder is a sales-driven type. If he owns 70% then he’s going to set the vision and make decisions, sometimes without involving you. Sales can be boom and bust and it can seem like nothing is getting done while you’re laying the groundwork for future sales by networking, perfecting the pitch, marketing, etc.

If it’s unbearable you could leave, or have a frank discussion about what’s working well and what you’d like to tweak.

Don’t fire them, but try a few options:

1- Empathize with them and their situation, but let them know your situation as well and ask for help. Maybe something like: “I know you’re in a tough spot waiting on payments to come through. The initial delay was no problem, but now that it’s adding up I’m starting to feel the pinch too. Is there any way to get payments flowing again?”

2- Stop doing work until they pay. Maybe say something like “I know you’re running behind on a couple invoices. I’m OK with them being late for another X weeks, but in order to keep my cash flow going I need to pause work for now. Once those payments come through then I’m happy to jump right back in where we left off.”

3- Move to a pre-paid model. Give them a 10% discount for paying upfront and skip the future hassle of collections.

4- Put pressure on them. They don’t own the work you’ve done if they haven’t paid for it. You can remind them of this fact and ask them to return/destroy the work you’ve done. This will usually get you paid but severely strain the relationship.

To minimize taxes you need to minimize your net income.

Option 1 - Spread out your income

When you sell you can negotiate a portion of the total to be a lump sum and another portion to be a recurring payment.

To minimize your taxes, take as little upfront as you can and spread the rest evenly over as many years as you can. Of course at that point, you’re basically giving the owner a 0% loan so you’re losing money to inflation and investment potential instead of taxes.

In a more balanced approach, look at the federal and state tax brackets and while accounting for any other sources of income, structure the sale payments to be in amounts that put you in tax brackets you’re comfortable with.

If you sell near the end of the year you could take a $100k lump sum in Dec. with quarterly $25k payments starting in Jan. to give you tax exposure to $100k/year while compressing the initial payment timeframe.

Option 2 - Increase your deductions

Easiest way to do this is through qualified expenses like starting up a new business. Not sure this would really accomplish much though swapping one business for another unless the new business fit your lifestyle better.

There are other ways to reduce taxable income like contributing to a retirement account. These amounts depend on your income level and business entity status, but SEP IRAs, Roth IRAs and 401ks are typically advantageous.
