The Best Coffee In Marlow? (2024 Updated)
Mindset, Money, PersonalWhere’s the best coffee in Marlow?
You’re in the right place. Marlow attracts people from all over the world. People who want to take in the magnificent scenery while sipping on that perfect cup of coffee.
Whether you’re a day-tripper or a remote worker – I’ve ranked the best 5 places in Marlow to have a coffee. This is based on rating the coffee itself, atmosphere and remote working capability.
My name is Anand, and I’m a Marlow resident and Dad of 2. I know Marlow town well, having spent many hours in its cafes working on my online businesses!
Coopers Roastery & Coffee Bar
Meter House, Fieldhouse Lane, Marlow
Coffee
Atmosphere
Remote working
Overall
If you’re looking for the best coffee in Marlow, this is it. Coopers isn’t on Marlow High Street but that shouldn’t put you off.
The arabica coffee is sustainably sourced and divine – especially the ‘Marlow Blend’.
It’s unusually big space for a coffee shop with large wooden tables and rustic feel. That’s probably because it’s away from the High Street and in an area with larger, industrial properties.
Coopers also serve brunch, baguettes and lunch. The ample space makes it great for remote working as you don’t feel an invasion of privacy.
Also free wi-fi and plenty of plug sockets.

The Cedar
28 West Street, Marlow
Coffee
Atmosphere
Remote working
Overall
The Cedar has a real family feel to it, with friendly staff and good vibes. The coffee is great, flavoursome, and especially strong. The breakfast and brunch is also worth checking out. As it is a small café with low ceilings and not much privacy, it might not be ideal for remote workers.

Fego
59 High Street, Marlow
Coffee
Atmosphere
Remote working
Overall
Fego (Marlow) brings the South African vibe, menu and coffee to Marlow. This particular branch of Fego is a bit tight and tables aren’t too easy to come by. It’s not great for remote workers given the tight space, but their coffee is worth tasting – especially a soy cappuccino.
They are usually quite busy which is probably a good sign.

The Mixing Jug

Overall
The Mixing Jug is relatively new to Marlow and features a more modern feel compared to the other cafes listed here. Located in Liston Court, it is much more spacious and suited for quiet working. The coffee is good – especially almond flat whites.

Overall
Satollo is tucked away in Liston Court just behind the High Street. With its Italian roots, it serves coffee, wine and bites from Italy. It is one of the smaller cafes, so tables might not always be available at busy times. The service can be better, and overall I expected better coffee.

Is Modern Wealthy A Scam? Honest Review of The Modern Wealthy program (2024 updated)
MoneyThe short answer to whether the Modern Wealthy Program is a scam – is no.
There are a lot of gimmicks out there and false promises, but Modern Wealthy is not one of those. It is online business education program that offers training, tools, mentoring and support. There are many Modern Wealthy reviews out there, and not all of them provide the full picture. Let me break it down for you in my Modern Wealthy review:
My name is Anand and I help working professionals start an online income from scratch – alongside your job. I also provide tips, tools and resources so that you can build and scale an online income without making mistakes like I did!
What Is Modern Wealthy?
‘Modern Wealthy’ is an online business training and support program that helps people to create a side income online.
Other modernwealthy.com reviews are written by people who haven’t gone through the training. I am someone who has – so I can confidently explain what is involved. It does this by offering a combination of education and online business tools.
It is NOT a get rich quick scheme, nor does it promise that students can get rich quick.
Modern Wealthy (launched in 2022) is part of the LaunchYou company that was founded by Stuart Ross and Jay Kubassek. The program (previously ‘Six Figure Mentors’) has been around since 2009.
Modern Wealthy aims to help members understand the principle of Authority Marketing – as illustrated below. This is the unique philosophy that binds all successful online entrepreneurs. Students will then apply the concept of authority marketing when building their own online businesses.
Who Is Modern Wealthy For?
Anyone who is serious on creating alternative streams of income to live the life they desire.
For the most part, that’s a life with no geographic ties, no boss and more choices.
This would suit a corporate 9-to-5 professional who wants to quit their job eventually, or for a stay at home mum who needs more income.
But to get detailed, it’s more people who have are:
What Is Included In Modern Wealthy?
There are 6 main features in the Modern Wealthy program:
Modern Wealthy introduction page:
Dashboard:
‘Authority Marketing Secrets of the Modern Wealthy’ pdf E-book:
Cost of Modern Wealthy
Modern Wealthy costs $37. This is fully refundable within 30 days.
Modern Wealthy includes detailed training by Stuart Ross and guidance from his Business Consultants, but should you wish to get further expert assistance with your online business there are additional ‘done-with-you’ and ‘done-for-you’ optional packages offered.
My Experience
I started with Modern Wealthy’s predecessor ‘Six Figure Mentors’ in 2019. While they are different programs, they teach similar concepts.
I went through the training modules and decided to pursue the affiliate marketing business model.
I used paid advertising and within 3 months, I made my first sale online and then continued to follow the guidance provided in the weekly live training. I was then able to reach a four-figure monthly income after another 5 months.
I also learnt how to build websites, learnt paid marketing and create content online.
In short – the online business training program was successful for me.
However this is my result and is not indicative of your results.
Is Modern Wealthy A Scam? Is Modern Wealthy Legit?
A scam is defined as a dishonest or fraudulent scheme. This is not one of those things.
I was able to use the training program to create an online affiliate business and generate genuine sales and income. If you don’t have your own idea or product – you can even promote LaunchYou’s products as an affiliate.
And yes, they pay your affiliate income to you every month – without fail. This was important to me, and after seeing monthly income from affiliate sales – I was confident that it wasn’t a scam.
Here is a screenshot of an email notification showing the sale of an affiliate product:
So I do not consider the program to be a scam. There is an actual product – which is an online business education course.
Who is Stuart Ross?
Stuart Ross is an online entrepreneur who founded and runs LaunchYou – a company that helps individuals create an online income. Stuart has been an online business education course provider for over 10 years.
He started his career as a real estate agent but became stressed out and realized that the traditional 9-to-5 route didn’t serve him.
He has since created many brands, including ‘Digital Business Lounge’ and ‘Six Figure Mentors’ which aim to supports individuals looking to create alternative income streams. Modern Wealthy and LaunchYou was launched in 2022. If you search for modern wealthy stuart reviews or stuart ross scam, you will probably come across a wide range of reviews – both positive and negative.
In my opinion, he has been able to build many brands using different online business models – so he is definately someone to learn from.

9 Profitable Side Business ideas For Bankers (2024 updated)
MoneyAs a Banker, you understand money. You understand accounting, finance and investing. But when it comes to side hustles, are you truly familiar with the side business opportunities out there?
My name is Anand and I worked for various corporate and investment banks in my career during my near 20 year career. I worked in Trading, Risk and Consulting within Financial Services so I can understand where you’re coming from. I have various side hustles, ranging from real estate to online businesses. In this article I take you through the side business ideas for bankers and financial professionals with limited time.
(I help Finance professionals start an income online from scratch – alongside your job. I provide tips, tools and resources so that you can build and scale an online business without making the same mistakes I did!)
Introduction
Listen, I get it – even though most Bankers are on high salaries, that usually means high living expenses such as:
Also these days, banks are just not as reliable as most people think. Jobs are not secure, so it makes sense to look to create multiple sources of income.
I want to go through 9 profitable side business ideas for Bankers in 2023, give you the pros and cons and point you to the best resources on getting started.
For Bankers (and other people working long hours in the financial industry), any side business you’d want to start should need minimal ongoing input of your time and money.
Of course, there will be an initial set up time and cost, but you don’t really want to commit significant time during the day on that business – especially when you have your 8am to 8pm job!
This post is also useful for people who work in the financial industry in general.
1. Day Trading
These days, you can start open up a brokerage account with many companies like eToro and Plus500 and start using their trading platforms.
The platforms can be quite sophisticated and have more than enough tools for you to trade during the day. You can trade in stocks, FX, commodities or crypto – for as little as $10 initial capital. Most trading platforms are also regulated.
From my experience of trading, it’s so important to have your strategy (which should include risk management) and stick with it!
Also, with day trading – you are the one placing the trades, so you have to know your entries and exits. This requires planning and researching the markets prior to start of trading day.
It’s an option, but not if you’re already super busy working long hours.
2. Algorithmic Trading
There are a growing number of companies that let you use their proprietary trading algorithm tools – for a fee/subscription. Auvoria Prime is one that I used in the past.
With algorithmic trading or ‘copy-trading’, you deposit a certain amount (usually at least $5000) of trading capital and then let the ‘algo’ trade on your behalf. It places trades, manages and exits the trade (based on default strategy settings, or your own customization).
Ideally, look for a company with a long history of results with their strategy.
Also be wary of company’s that promise high daily returns or ‘guaranteed profit’, as algos are not perfect and losses (something large) can occur.
Algorithmic trading is great if you want a ‘hands-off’ way of earning money. Consider it passive income, but you really don’t want to commit large amounts of money until you’re confident with the results.
3. Finance Blogging
If you have a lot to share, blogging or article writing is a great way.
Blogging is especially great if you like writing and your chosen subject requires a detailed explanation.
The great thing with blogging is anyone can do it, and it’s a low-cost option. These days you can set up a website quickly, easily and cheaply.
Also, you can become an authority in your subject matter. Perhaps it’s a niche subject or area of Finance that not many people know about. Consider this blog by ex-Banker Financial Samurai who has become known as a guru in personal finance.
Within your blog, you can even promote other related online products and services. This is known as affiliate marketing, and if the reader clicks on that product and makes a purchase – you get a commission.
4. Online Course
Creating an online course is another side business idea for Bankers in 2023. If you have a specialism, and feel more people can benefit from this knowledge – then why not create an online course?
Courses are easy to create (see Kajabi) and if you can help people solve a problem, then your course stands to do well.
You may even find that your blog articles can be used as material for your course. The great thing about an online course is that you just have to build it once, market it, and make recurring income from course sales.
5. Online Consulting
While a course is a one-to-many solution, you may feel that one-to-one consulting suits your offer better.
Perhaps you can guide someone on how to achieve a certain result, for example helping college students get into Banking.
Or maybe consult someone on how to raise capital – if this is something you did in your Banking job.
6. Investment Management
There are a lot of people with surplus cash interested in investing their money, but don’t have the right guidance or expertise. Or maybe they’ve been burnt in the past!
You can offer them advice on how best to invest their money to meet their needs. This might be for growth, capital preservation, regular income or to pay kid’s college fees in the future.
Just ensure that you have disclosed your side business to your employers. Giving investment advice can be considered as a conflict of interest to your employer’s clients.
7. Property Investment
Property investment models include rentals (buy-to-lets) and flipping (developing). However, the method you choose depends on your available capital, local market conditions and access to reliable contractors (in the case of flipping).
Investing in property is great in the long term, but for your first few deals it helps to have liquid cash to place a deposit.
Of course, you have to wary of costs like taxes, insurance, service charges and unexpected maintenance costs.
8. E-Commerce
An increasing number of physical products are bought online. Amazon is the largest marketplace seller in the world, bringing in more than $600bn of sales in 2022.
If you have a product idea that you want to develop and sell online, then Amazon is your best bet.
The great thing with e-commerce is that you can customize a product to your preference and with your brand logo. Of course, a lot of market research will need to be done as with any product to determine demand, price, and competition. But the ability to scale is superb with Amazon.
9. Affiliate Marketing
If you’re looking for a business model where you have a ready-made product, logistics and operations already in place – then affiliate marketing is perfect.
You essentially act as ‘affiliate’ for a company, promoted and selling their products. For every sale made of that product (via your unique affiliate link), you receive a commission. In some cases, commission can be up to 90% of the sale price.
You can market products through your own website, your social media, email list or just through word of mouth.
If someone is looking to start a business online around their day-job, then I would always recommend affiliate marketing. Most companies and brands offer an affiliate program for their products, and joining their affiliate program is generally free too.
Conclusion
In this post, I shared with you 9 profitable side business ideas for Bankers. Considering you have little time during the day to set up a business and run it, I listed those ideas I felt were best suited to you.
In conclusion, I’d say affiliate marketing is a great model to get up and running very quickly and requires minimal supervision.
It is considered a ‘hands-off’ business model, and once your metrics are positive – then the business can be scaled.
