ноября 27, 2017

Historia 17-year-old Australian web programmer Laci Groom (Lachy Groom) shows that entrepreneurship is a talent or it is from an early age, or it takes a long time to look for. This guy (in the photo, he teaches the programming of a student) started the business from an early age, as a child, he sold soda and worked dogs, 11-year-old father taught him HTML and CSS. In 2008 at the age of 13 years old boy founded the first startup PSDtoWP.com . Customer orders mainly from Europe and the United States, he created WordPress themes from Photoshop layouts. After nine months, the site acquired a large consulting company. But the teenager was still a lot of ideas for startups.

The salary for show

ноября 23, 2017

I once worked in a company where it was impossible to talk about your salary in fear... I don't even know why. As children experience the horror of what “adult zarugaet” and we were afraid to share it. About what punishment awaits us, could only guess. Hell in the view of Hieronymus Bosch. And anyway, everybody knew everybody. Why? Because for the law to work, it must be an idea, shared by the majority. What idea was behind this law? The idea to hide unfair pay . After all, if it is true, then why hide it? When I started my business, I have largely copied his employer. In miniature. I was funny as a 30-centimeter tennis .
