    I agree. I don't think the old-school people here want to pay a ticket and sit through the speaker sessions, anyways... unless they're here because they have something to sell. I only bought a ticket last time to help offset the costs, but we'd both agree that it would have been better for an...

    @MJ DeMarco - I know you hate putting on the Fastlane Summit, and I understand your reasons around it. I still think your community needs an annual in-person meeting that's blessed by you, official or not. One that's not underground and in a foreign country, although that's a great event, too...

    It appears to be your MO to make degradingly sexist and controversial comments. Is this really necessary?

    What's your motivation to do things if you don't need to make money.

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    I have a similar riff on this theme. I'm not "there" yet, but I'm making a ton of money. Well, to me, anyways. So, I could theoretically be "there" in a few more years. For me, my personal riff on your question is: How do I evaluate what is acceptable to spend money on, now that money is not...

    I made a book and it's selling. I never got this far, so I'm a bit stuck xD

    MARKETING 
    Congratulations on your progress! MJ recommended Amazon, and I’ll throw in my two cents about that. I agree that you need to get on Amazon. On Amazon, there's the “book route” of Amazon Vendor Central or Amazon Advantage that MJ mentioned and KDP. But there's also the "product route" which...

    What we get wrong about the Mexican Fisherman Parable

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    I don’t really resonate with this article. The hero’s journey is essential to any good fictional story. But personal growth comes from within. Sure, there can be outside circumstances that challenge us and spark transformation. But those obstacles don’t need to come from working or making...

    You have a higher probability of @biophase responding if you have a female forum name and your profile photo is of a cute blonde girl.

    What kind of mattress do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    We actually got two versions of the Nectar mattresses. @biophase slept on the cheapie ones we got on sale for under $400. We bought two of those. One was definitely too soft… like they forgot a layer of foam or something. We tried to exchange it. There’s no way to stuff a bed-in-box back in the...

    The Etsy MEGA Thread... Best Practices, Use, Etc.

    HOT! 
    There’s a relatively new feature in Etsy Ads that lets you turn on/off relevant keywords. Etsy says it’s a “test,” so I don’t have a lot of faith in it. We’re only running ads on a handful of listings, but we did go through and scrub out some bad keywords.

    Are those dates next to it the active dates? Your screenshot makes it look like they tried Shopify and moved to Woocommerce. Lots of people have Wordpress (not Woocommerce) in addition to Shopify. Usually, they’ll install one on a subdomain or a subfolder. Generally, this is because the...

    Heads up, Etsy shop owners. Another half-baked Etsy feature was released today: the Star Seller badge. Totally idiotic, for multiple reasons.

    Bumping because I've been thinking about this thread a lot lately. There are a ton of services out there now. Copy.ai, copysmith.ai, conversion.ai, writesonic, etc. Has anyone used any of them?

    If it's outside of your control or otherwise violates ToS (delivery delays, profanity, mentions another website), you can use the"Report this review" link. Lately, anything that mentions slow delivery due to post office delays have been automatically removed, by using the link. Otherwise, I...

    What will you accomplish in 2020? <-- Well did u?

    EXECUTION 
    Hit my arbitrary business revenue and net profits goals. Meditation wasn’t as consistent. Got plenty of massages and float tank sessions. Slacked on the food and gym, but happy with where I’m at now.
