Manic Monday - What is your focus this Christmas week? - 22nd December 2025

[Dopious]

New week, new opportunities to get things done.

Share a goal you have for the week, big or small, it doesn't matter.

It could be:

• Something you want to get done with
• A new initiative you want to take on
• A habit you want to stick to
• An idea you want to concretize or put into motion

Writing it down increases the chance that it will actually get done
Sharing this makes it even more likely that you will actually do it

What is your goal this week in your business? Are you even working this Christmas week?

Got the ferrets gift 95% I am getting both ferrets a Turkey pie to eat today if possible.

I am hoping to get new Kettlebells 16KG I wanted 20 or more but could not get so went with 16 instead.

I should have a new monitor if so will make a new SEO software.

Do some more ecommerce work,get back to my SEO channel and do some software videos work with Newsreporter too told me yes so reply to them today.

Spread the ferret Adoption message to every Swede,Indian,Paddy, or anyone else will be told about the ferrets

I’m actually trying to focus more on OO this week. There’s a lot on the to-do list and I have a lot of half-finished thins I haven’t set live like the competitor comparison pages (I believe @t2van suggested we make these).

I’m not sure how much of this I can get done, but I’d at least like to get the trophies renamed and even re-organise the trophy list. That last one is going to be a pain though because the only way to do it is to remove all the current trophies and create them in the exact order I want.

"Officially" I'm on leave.

In reality I'm working today.

No goals. No plans. Just getting shit done.

I'm beyond hung over, yesterday was just awful I think I started at 12 noon and finished 1am this morning to say I'm in a bad way is not even close. I would blame the brandy(s), or the 2-4 pints of beer, or the 3-4 bottles of wine but it was 100% the vodka in the night

(I mean... I wish I had a bathtub but still, this studio is on 20th-something floor so not complaining)

Was super busy... Being sick last couple days . But I also worked A LOT to forget about being sick . So I think bigger part of the actual thing is done, heavily in the process of getting traffic, planning the whole thing out, deciding on pricing and YES, I think I might have figured out how to have a no-refund policy, at least for Europe. I'm not sure if it's possible with american clients, perhaps the laws are different. Honestly I sort of focused more on the traffic, business and law part than the actual thing itself but now building the thing and hopefully it'll work cuz I need cash . These online things can get me nomad visas at best though, so in most asian countries they'll kick me out after months or a year or two . So I'm sort of looking into an offline business or investment opportunities (taking into account that I have some, but not endless cash so I might need to fundraise or share with business partners/more investors and also offline is more complicated etc, etc but then if you do it right you have a real business and you can also hire staff, etc). Sick af, I lost my voice lol. But got some syrup and now I can breathe, yaay.

Sounds like you going to be pretty busy.

I think going to drive and get my ferrets Jaccizzi to bath them in just waiting for an email back before go fo it.

@SilverClouds look for food vendors, butchers, take aways in smaller towns as the price will be cheap but you have good loyal footfall of local customers.

So it's easy to put money through it. Solid cash business that can manage it's self with team that's already been put in place.

You can do small tweaks to improve it and increase turnover it's never going to be a rocket. But it's a good stepping stone to use it to leverage and buy into other things.

It's also good because the bar to entry can be low. Very low sub 30k sometimes below 20k if your lucky...

A Thai nomad VISA ( Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) (The "Digital Nomad" Visa ) is good for 5 years.

Merry Christmas in Advance

Thanks. Not looking for Thailand, they're getting ready for war with Cambodia* apparently.

*Don't want this one either cuz... Come on... It's Cambodia . Khmer people, no? Anyone else watched Largo Winch?

This thai visa you linked is valid for 6 months only, not 5 years. 6 months stay during 5 years . Most are 1 or 2 years and some countries just make you leave without possibility of conversion, in some countries you can change visa type. In Malaysia I could stay 2 years on nomad visa but after that I need actual business in Malaysia itself and change visa type (or retirees can stay on retirement visa, 9 to 5ers on work visa, etc). I don't want to do the nomad thing, it's weak visa for someone that actually wants to integrate. You get work permit for working with online foreign clients only. No offline and no local agency clients even. So better than these scams from visa agencies because you can actually work legally but you can never do business locally, just spend money! It pissess me off. These are emerging markets, no? It'd be potentially profitable af to actually do business here. And also in general, I want to have some ties / 'center of economical interest' here, not in Poland. Don't worry, not stopping online, but I came to a conclusion that if I want 'ties' in the country I need to do business here.

In EU countries I can just reside as EU member, no need for visa. Latin America has easier residencies than Asia, but still there are some problems with opening bank accounts.

If you ever want my help getting Visa, my price is adopting two ferrets I will get you into any country but I need to see the ferrets before starting work.

This thai visa you linked is valid for 6 months only, not 5 years. 6 months stay during 5 years .

The DTV allows holders to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per entry and is valid for 5 years. Means that you go in and out of Thailand how many times you want during that 5 year period, not 6 month only.

Yeah, you all can keep your fav thai hookers to yourself, no competition from me here. I remember I looked for hotels in Thailand for a visa run in the past and in reviews someone complained about hearing them through paper thin walls . No thanks . I guess that in better budget / different location you might get something better, etc but I got demotivated after that, Cambodia potentially blowing off their asses kinda finishes the country for me.

Don't worry about his hookers he told me before I am not going with any women until I get two ferrets you will find him in Thailand looking for ferrets instead or Sweden.

He's fighting hard at the moment to turn the red part of Thailand into a ferret adoption area when he sees anyone, he say to everyone, "Dude where are your two ferrets?"

Thailand has cartoon with a ferret in that was thanks to this Swedish man being inspired by his adopt ferret's beliefs.

A Nordic god had ferrets, proving that all Nordic people are pro ferrets
