The point is that your compensation should not be based on where you live, but how much value you add.

If you believe this, the 10% trade-off doesn't matter and is simply a distraction from the real discussion.

Why not increase prices?

Demand is pretty inelastic for a course, especially if the company is paying for it. I believe that charging at lesat $400 is the sweetspot, volume decreases (so does customer requests) and profits skyrocket.

Building an online course has been one of the easiest ways to make money in my personal experience.

The problem is that most people focus on what they know and spend hours creating the content for the course.

However, most of your success is going to come from building an email list of at least 1k people. And most of the effort should be here BEFORE you start building the course.

I've done that many times and have been profitable since, even after outsourcing most of the work.

Saw them on PH yesterday. Really excited about this product

Yes. Both things happened. I was specifically talking about halting trade multiple times during the day.

As far as I know, they were automatic handbrakes based on excessive volatility. A feature designed to prevent chaos and people from over buying/selling due to panic.

Yes!

And the worst case scenarios happened when my body was tired and wanted to stop, but my brain was high on Red Bull and didn't let me fall sleep.

Yes.

To avoid burn out, I'm being more disciplined with slowing down at the end of the day and exercises (even walking outside is good enough).

To slowdown, I'm trying to read at least 30 minutes at time. And try to go for a walk 2-3 times a week (not much, but makes a huge difference on my energy and humor).

Also, sleeping well everyday is a priority for me - I'm not willing to exchange sleep for work, reduces my productivity significantly and makes me unhappy.

I would recommend dropping the Red Bull. Switch to coffee, if you like that. Even an iced can coffee would be healthier.

I used to drink it daily and it destroyed my body. Also, Red Bull is quite expensive!
