Toothpaste is a particularly high-margin product so it might not be the best example generally. COGS is generally the largest line item for CPG (or non-CPG products), and distribution isn't free either. Toothpaste manufacturers can pro

"that $4.50 gross margin is stuffed into a system of relative inefficiency up and down the economy. much of it in 'nearly useless ads'." is easy to disprove because we know how much these companies spend on advertising (

Not the OP, but I pay for Bonsai because it does a better job of competitors of bringing a variety of tools together in a way that saves me time. - Scheduling/calendar for client intros and meetings. - Client info is then available to

Second that, am also on Bonsai. Scheduling, quarterly estimated taxes, and longevity are worth paying for but I wish it wasn't so steep.

Yep. It's been the standard format for manually building SERP ads for a couple of years now. There are also Dynamic Search Ads which automate even more of the process of setting up a campaign based on your current website: https:&#x2F

I think most people expressing this sentiment are referring to small scale homesteads or hobby farms, which I have found to be a great break from desk time.

I largely agree, but I think there's room for small-scale operations to grow hard-to-transport food (mulberries!) while preserving local varieties and serving as a genetic repository. In a sense, it's insurance against failures an

Absolutely, and a good reminder that your web analytics is only one source of data you can use when making decisions. Sites and apps generate so much interesting quantitative and qualitative information that is important to compare and vali

Articles like this always seem to miss the ways that the big analytics platforms are used in real life by marketing and product teams. If all you are doing is measuring page hits, then Google Analytics is overkill and you should be using on

With that sort of timeline you'll need to tap into some existing channels for marketing & sales. What does your network look like? Is there an existing vendor ecosystem you have experience with? Consulting might help with short-ter

Interdependence with larger agricultural systems. Grains are great to grow at scale and I'm glad I can buy them in a grocery store. Tomatoes are great to grow at home and I'm glad I can do that too.

Also, beans and potatoes _are_ fun to grow.

The vast majority of permaculturists don't do it with the goal of 100% self-sufficiency. Interdependence is part of the game.

I'm pretty far from your situation (no dependents, mid-career) but did leave my job 9 months ago to take a sabbatical for similar reasons. I sympathize with your post-LOA feelings; going right back into the same environment is hard. &q

Medical leave for burnout sounds great, until they throw you right back in the same environment that caused the burnout. It's not surprising you don't care anymore. It may be useful to do some budgeting to see if you can juice you

I had similar feelings at my old job, and tried a bunch of band-aid solutions: setting boundaries, spending more time on hobbies, exercising more, caring less. None of these tactics had the same impact as quitting my job and taking a sabbat

The technique that worked for me was replacement. The idea with replacement is that it's hard to say no to something, but easier to say yes to something slightly different (a nonalcoholic alternative). Don't have any booze around,

You don't need to install Google Analytics to rank on Google. The article you cited mentions CRUX data[1], which comes from the Google Chrome browser, not Google Analytics. That data is reported to website users in the form of the Core
