Facts: Western Business Culture

For first meetings, there are both appropriate and inappropriate questions in Western business culture. Most Westerners dislike being asked particularly intimate questions about their relationships, finances, politics, or religion. Many Westerners converse informally instead. This indicates that they avoid discussing sensitive topics. They might discuss sports, hobbies, or the weather. Therefore, we must be considerate of the queries that should be raised with western clients.

Anyone on Disability?

I do consider disability a passive income source. Why? Because I don't have to work for it. I just wait for my direct deposit monthly. Having been suicidal, this is the best way for me to enjoy what life has to offer. I have also many other mental and physical health issues that make me eligible for disability in Canada. It's a worry less not to have to work for my money. But I do have other worries as well so yeah. I do have stress and anxiety and etc. I personally put too much pressure on myself, hence why I can't work. The working environment is too stressful for me personally at least anyways.

Paid to play?

Have you ever played any games that pay you to play? For example, you could play solitaire and win big with it. Some casino games online are also what people use to make money online.

Traveling is one of the hobbies that many people like, be it traveling locally (domesticly) or abroad. So far, people only know traveling as a refresher for the mind and body, especially for those whose daily work is always monotonous in front of the computer, of course, they will need a different atmosphere, such as traveling.

You can also challenge a game of chess on the street (bet $5 for the winner) like in Union Square, New York.

If you have a sophisticated photo camera, tripod and photo editing skills then you can take pictures of interesting tourist spots, wherever you visit. Then you can sell your photos to online sales agents such as Shutterstock, SmugMug Pro, Alamy, iStock Photo, Etsy etc. The cooler your photo, the faster it will sell. But you have to be patient because there are many competing photographers from around the world.

4. Personal Shoppers
Personal shopper or Safekeeping service is receiving orders for goods, especially when you go out of town, or to another city, which has the characteristics of food and souvenirs that are not available in your hometown, traveling is using a private car, in the destination city you can look for items goods that are typical of a particular region. Next, you only need to upload a photo on the WhatsApp group along with the price of the item plus the commission you will receive, for example 15% and provide a description if needed.

Is Your Business a Registered Business?

Currently, I am running a couple of businesses and none of my businesses are registered. These are small online businesses that I operate through my laptop and hire virtual assistants to help me. However, in the past, I have offline businesses that were registered through local government agencies. I was even auditing my businesses and paying taxes. Since my businesses make very little profit, I have never considered registering them.
