    Quit Complicating It; Money Goes to Those Who Work (And Lead)

    IDEA 
    Yes, the technical jobs can earn decently. The issue here is that it depends on what your standards are. I’ve made $3.5K+ net for many years for example. I don’t consider myself to be rich — to me, being rich means being able to afford WASTING money. Until you can afford wasting money, you’re...

    Quit Complicating It; Money Goes to Those Who Work (And Lead)

    IDEA 
    He’s not lying, that’s how it is in the US, but not in Europe. In Europe you pay a gypsy $25 and he mows your lawn two times per month. Even though there is a labor shortage for “sweaty” work, people don’t want to pay for it because they disconsider it. You’d be seen as a loser in Europe if you...

    eCom - Bag Sales

    EXECUTION 
    Honestly, in my eyes B2C consumers are suckers waiting to be exploited. They’re devious, lying, greedy bastards and I have no qualms about taking as much of their money as I can. There are of course exceptions, but most B2C consumers aren’t very smart or nice — they are transactional...

    eCom - Bag Sales

    EXECUTION 
    Not true. I am advocating testing a product with the minimum time investment possible. This is about saving TIME not money. I’m impatient, I only invest my time seriously if I am SURE to make money out of it. I don’t invest my time to test an idea.

    eCom - Bag Sales

    EXECUTION 
    Except that your conclusion is wrong buddy. It’s not easier than building a business. If anything, it’s much harder. I wouldn’t want to live a scammer’s life — it’s HARD work always needing to cover your tracks, having so many enemies, etc. So why would you do it? I do what’s easy. If I get...

    eCom - Bag Sales

    EXECUTION 
    Why would you do something that can very likely land you in jail just for a few pennies + a bad conscience? “Stealing” content has a very low likelihood of landing you in jail. And I personally wouldn’t feel guilty for it at all. You use it to test the product fast, then you make your own...

    eCom - Bag Sales

    EXECUTION 
    Why are you so angry? Anything goes bro, anything goes. If a thief like you can steal it, it’s a bad business and you just wasted your time building it. In other words, you got what you deserved. You can’t steal Microsoft. Or Tesla. You can’t even steal my business. Try it, and when you get 0...

    eCom - Bag Sales

    EXECUTION 
    The surest way to remain poor is to be a Goodie Tissue (or as @Richard Peck would correct me, a Goody Two Shoes!) ;) It’s super common on this forum. People who have made $0 worry about ethics LOL. If I was at $0 I’d be desperate to make money — I’d do ANYTHING. I wouldn’t tolerate no job, or...

    Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I think your biggest issue is that you’re putting too much focus on giving a great result for realtors. That’s not your job. Your job is to give them something better than the alternatives. What alternative do they have for generating leads? If that sucks, then your service can be sucky and...

    Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    That’s interesting, I’m the serious type, jokes don’t work to change my mood :rofl: But I see, for you it’s sort of a pattern interrupt that gets your unstuck.

    I am really struggling with money chasing mindset

    MINDSET 
    Oh how I wish you were chasing money… Whom did you try to close today? No one? How can you be chasing money if you’re not doing anything to get money today?!

    Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I see what you mean. I don’t really have an issue with self-belief (“I can’t do it”), my issue is more with “I don’t deserve it” (self-esteem?). That’s why I tried to adapt it a bit. So I can only imagine how I’d feel if I did feel I’m not enough and I tried to use it. My first thought is that...

    Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    This never seemed to do anything for me. I tried to adjust it “I deserve it because I say I deserve it” My mind immediately rejects it as an invalid reason. “Me saying X doesn’t make it so — reality is independent from my thoughts”

    Elon Musk tells Disney to "go f*ck themselves"

    CHAT 
    Agreed, but he's still not a businessman. I can also bet that he doesn't see himself as a businessman either.

    Elon Musk tells Disney to "go f*ck themselves"

    CHAT 
    Elon Musk doesn’t strike me as a particularly great businessman. He’s a great engineer / creator though. Compare Elon to Bernard Arnault — the latter is a businessman, Elon is not. His skillset is more the creation of startups, with all that entails, from raising funds, to building futuristic...
