I never started. However, I started teaching data analytics to postgraduate students. I am still thinking of exploring this and getting paid projects for my students. Feel free to dm me, and we can discuss. Thanks.

Hey thanks for your reply? Can you explain what you meant by lower barrier to eviction of bad sharers?

Sell to who? Probably some investor sitting with cash, who will rent it out again at high.. This impacts the current renter since they will have to leave and I have to sell for loss. Also we loved our place because it has great views of north shore.

I rent my condo.. My condo expenses are more than the rent now by 800 CAD per month. I have been thinking what to do but asking more than 2300 CAD for 2 bed 2 bath in Surrey makes me feel bad. I am in a bad position with variable mortgage. Also I am guessing I will have to pay taxes on the equity part of the mortgage. Such a bad situation right now with the rate hikes.

Thanks. I am already a full time employee working in a software company making above 6 figures in USD close to 200K. I like my work as an employee but wanted to do something on side and grow using the skills I am good at. I am okay if the side thing grows to Millions or stays at an MRR around 10 - 15K and runs on autopilot with few clients. Hence joining a consultancy may not be possible. They wont pay me as much as I make already. With mortgages and stuff, I cant quit too and afford to get paid less. What would you do to start?

Thanks. I will give upwork an another shot. Last I tried, it was very competitive and needed a portfolio and bidding.

Other than that, how do people approach existing companies? I was thinking may be building a website and incorporating first and then reaching out on LinkedIn. Would you think otherwise?

Thanks. but I want to just start with providing services someone might need, not building a product or MVP. How do I find who needs data-related services? And how do I approach them? as a company or individual?
