    IDEA 
    Dude. This. I know a guy that began without a niche, because he JUST NEEDED CLIENTS. He did great security work. Got referrals. Grew. Hired people. THEN HE DECIDED to get more of the clients he really wanted, and less of the ones he didn't. He quit doing C-Stores and developed enough of a...

    INTRO

    Starting a pizza / pizzeria business, talk me out of it

    IDEA 
    Right! I wonder if anyone realizes that one of the factors why some people make so much money is because they are willing to do things others won't. Simple as that. Hats off to you. Respect.

    IDEA 
    @polaroid22 I worked for a family that owns and operates an Italian deli & grocery. Been in business over 75 years.

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    Right. It was easy because we got introduced to people who shared an interest. It sounds dumb and simple, but we were kind of "dumb and simple" before Facebook and Discord and ChatGPT. And honestly I loved it.

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    As a GenXer who attended high school the same time as that video, I will volunteer to answer. In short, no. 6 years after graduation my girlfriend and I still had house parties every weekend, either with friends or family. We had a pretty active social life. Even 10 years later. A lot of music...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    I hang out at a shared workspace / cafe, and I routinely run into at least a half dozen people and usually the chances are 50% that I end up having lunch or drinks with them in the evening. I'm part of a couple of clubs that were formed over a shared interest. I'm 50 and probably end up hanging...

    MINDSET 
    At one point in life I was stuck on vacation mode and completely tuned out. I couldn't put a routine together to save my life. Then, I started planning for the next day on the night before. Pulled me out of a nosedive. Very powerful.

    #3 is severely underrated. I've been caught shit talking myself only to look at my 'done for the day' list to see that I checked it all off. Being down on yourself can become a habitual thing. Looking at your accomplishments in black and white can re-frame your perceptions and silence The...
