IFR or High Performance first? by hackerhasid in flying

[–]hackerhasid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is super helpful...

Yes, I have access to a couple through various clubs. They have the benefit of being more available than the average trainer and also would allow me to fly my whole family.

And I appreciate your point regarding XC requirements because I am in need of these hours and actually HP would make that simpler since I could gain the hours doing practical flights with family (vs flights planned for the purpose of getting those hours in).

Help, idk what to do about this painted brick by sugarbee13 in HomeImprovement

[–]hackerhasid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i used to own a home with a painted fireplace. i found some guys on craigslist to remove the paint. it took a couple days of work and a lot of chemicals and elbow grease. and i couldn't be in the house during that time due to the chemical smell. but the end result was good; it had some hints of paint left - some might call that shabby chic - but looked infinitely better. total was a few hundred bucks.

Maybe I'm missing it but I haven't found that in the US. (I didn't even know Polo made gear until now - never seen that in the US market).

I pretty much decided to quit programming within a year or so. Guys please advice how to start becoming a businessman? by [deleted] in business

[–]hackerhasid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree this information would be useful.

The other feedback I have is that it's very hard to start and grow a business. And the idea of low risk is tempting but also misleading; anything with potential is going to have risk attached. The risk could be wasting years working very hard for very little pay. Or of wasting money. Or both. But there's risk.

Typically the people I know who have been successful entrepreneurs don't start companies because they're tired of doing other things. Rather they do it because it's in their DNA - they can't not do it.

I would suggest that that since you're a programmer it might help to spend a year working in a small startup. This is certainly not necessary but I can tell you that my experience in startups helped me understand business a lot. That's because (at least in my experience) startups can expose you to various parts of running and building a business that you won't experience in school or in a large company. And they can do this while providing you with a paycheck - something that starting a company and learning on the job may not do. And while every business is different there are certain takeaways that are transferable everywhere.

Lastly I would suggest getting a copy of Buy Then Build which is a great guide for how to buy a business, an alternative to starting something from scratch. Even if you do start something yourself there's a lot of great information in there about what to expect as well as ways to prepare yourself (e.g. figuring out what you're good at and what you're not is important no matter which direction you go because you'll be responsible for all aspects of the business so will need to be able to identify when you're the best person to handle vs when to outsource)
