    Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.

    MINDSET RANT 
    I've read about 70 books this year. Honestly, I suffered from a bit of information overload. Thoughts in my mind spinning in every direction, too many neuron connections being formed, mind brimming with new ideas, etc. Every time I read the news, saw something in the media, or went through some...

    Most practical college major for an entrepreneur?

    Hi all, I'm 22M. A year ago, I dropped out of business school to pursue my own startup. I can't say my startup has taken off yet- but I'm still working on it. It definitely hasn't reached the point where I've been able to generate enough income to live off it- but I suppose that's the...

    Thinking of attending a university business program? Think again.

    Haha, I knew somebody would point out something relating to accounting & finance. I don't mean to dismiss these topics entirely- I think it'd be useful to have a working knowledge of accounting for cash flow / budgeting / stock purposes and what not. But going to university solely for these...

    Thinking of attending a university business program? Think again.

    My only concern now is that I won't be getting a degree. No degree = no job. No job = no income. At some point, I believe entrepreneurs DO need some money coming in, otherwise they'll have a hard time supporting themselves. For those of you building a startup and have no regular income...

    Thinking of attending a university business program? Think again.

    I did two years at a BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) program before dropping out. Long story short- I wasn't learning much, and I realized I didn't want to go into accounting or finance- which is the end-goal for most students in my program. My main reasons behind going to business...

    As a 24/7 startup entrepreneur, how do you connect with other people?

    PEOPLE 
    This is how I feel as well.

    As a 24/7 startup entrepreneur, how do you connect with other people?

    PEOPLE 
    You're thinking about your startup practically all the time. Everything you do is for your startup. The majority of your time is spent on learning (reading books, listening to podcasts, etc) and taking action (hustling, working directly on your startup). Then suddenly, you're invited out to a...

    Any Christians here?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Please note that this isn't a religious discussion. I'm just wondering if there are others here in the same boat. I'm taking a shot in the dark here. Are there any Christian entrepreneurs here? If so- I'm wondering if any of you can resonate with the situation I'm currently in. Most of my...

    How can I balance my life with a startup?

    EXECUTION 
    I'm no longer in university and I don't work a job. Needless to say, I have a substantial amount of free time on my hands to do what I want. There are so many aspects of my life that I want to build: Bodybuilding (one of my goals is to put on weight and increase my muscle mass. This requires...

    What makes a great CEO?

    EXECUTION 
    Before you go ahead and dismiss the title of this thread to be rudimentary, hear me out. I'm curious to know your thoughts on what makes an effective startup CEO. What's the difference between an average CEO and a great CEO? What are some important traits that define a great CEO? Let me...

    Is it a waste of time to read too much?

    I'd also like to know if reading too much has a backfire effect. What I've realized amongst successful entrepreneurs is that they share something in common: they're all big readers and read immensely during their time in the entrepreneurial trenches. So, it makes sense then that we should be...

    How would you spend your time?

    MINDSET 
    Imagine you're in the following scenario. You're not enrolled in school. You don't work a part- or full-time job. You're currently being supported by your parents. They're paying for your rent, albeit temporarily. The only expense you're responsible for is food. Overall, you've got a shitload...

    Is it a waste of time to read too much?

    Check out these quotes: What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it...

    How much time do you spend hanging out?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    I can't help but worry that by isolating myself, I'm harming my social interaction & communication skills, my ability to develop rapport & trust, and to overall create long-term friendships. I'm also labelled "anti-social" by my fellow peers. "That guy...he never goes out and never hangs out...

    How much time do you spend hanging out?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    How much time do you spend hanging out with friends per day? I'm talking about social gatherings and get-togethers, doing activities with peers, etc. I realize I haven't really been making time for other people. Don't get me wrong- I try to go out every now and then, but it seems like all the...

    How do you feel about people who only talk to you when they need help with something?

    PEOPLE 
    Hi, I don't quite see much of a 'scalable' opportunity in helping people out one-by-one in that aspect. That'd be delving into the consulting industry I'm guessing- which TBH isn't a really viable business model. I can't exactly ask them for money- they're considered friends and acquaintances...

    How do you feel about people who only talk to you when they need help with something?

    PEOPLE 
    There are individuals in my social circle who never talk to me on a personal level nor do they bother to invite me out to any of their events or social gatherings. And then- whenever they need help with something, that's only when they contact me through Facebook or texting. And they don't even...

    Quit university for self-directed learning?

    I'm 21 and currently in a business program studying to receive a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). I've spent around $30,000 for two years worth of university (that includes all expenses/fees/meal plan/residence fees/etc), and yet I haven't really learned anything from the formal...

    Having trouble making small talk; I don't care about other people

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    ...I just can't connect to them. I think reading tons of personal development/success/business/entrepreneurship books and videos might have actually backfired on me. The only thing I really care talking about is success, business, entrepreneurship, etc. Anything else- I simply have no...
