    "My life became richer the day I stopped chasing passive income"

    Even though the author is insufferable, I must say there is truth that passive income is not very fulfilling. Yes, it does give you freedom but I have found freedom is , well, not the end all be all. Not to say you shouldn’t pursue it, but once you have it... it just feels not as fulfilling as...

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Entrepreneurship isn't so much HARD as it is DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE with massive UNCERTAINTY. These things are more a function of how your mind works than reality - Bezos etc had comfort in (relative) certainty - they knew how the world works, how business works, and how to get where they were...

    Anybody use (legal) mushrooms?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I'm a big believer in microdosing psilocybin mushrooms. Every other supplement (mushroom or not) pales in comparison of effects. I credit micro, with occassional macro, doses of "shrooms" with some major breakthroughs in my life and success. For maximum effectiveness, you must have an area you...

    What I Learned Operating A Commercial Cleaning Company

    EXECUTION 
    Gross margins are definitely much better for residential, but each customer is worth much less & commercial is easier to manage thus can end up having better net margins after setting up supervisors/management. I know a few people that went from Residential to Commercial. It is much easier to...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I watched the reveal live and thought it was the ugliest vehicle I could imagine. The next morning, I thought it was ugly but had some appeal. A day later, I reserved one. The design really grew on me, and the specs are unbelievable. Seeing it compared to the Rivian R1T really sealed the deal...

    Are The Sharks Going Broke?

    HOT! 
    They aren't doing it because they are broke, but because it's the easiest way to capitalize on their fame. Sure, they know these programs don't actually help anyone but "a fool and his money are quickly parted" - if they don't take it, someone else will. At least, that's the justification. Your...

    What I Learned Operating A Commercial Cleaning Company

    EXECUTION 
    In case in anyone is curious, here's how I'm addressing this issue in my commercial cleaning business. I hire part-time employees for 2.5-4 hours/night, enough to make it worthwhile but capable of picking up more hours when needed. I pay $1/hour more than our competition, but have no...

    What I Learned Operating A Commercial Cleaning Company

    EXECUTION 
    Love it! Questions: What was your niche? If you could go back, what would you do differently? Would you change your business model? What did you move on to after selling this cleaning business?

    Any General Contractors here?

    My brother in law is a general contractor, still pretty small but he works with a company that's about $5 million/year. From what I've seen, even for the big guys, is that their work comes from personal network, relationships, and word of mouth. You don't see a lot, if any, marketing from...

    What would the perfect cleaning company be for you?(Business/Real Estate Owners)

    I own a commercial cleaning company as well. Depends on what kind of building & person you are targeting. Bonding, Insurance, & Background Checks are minimum requirements for everyone. Property Management companies want reliability but are mainly price driven, not very concerned with quality...

    Dopamine Fasting (NSFW language)

    MINDSET 
    Googling more about dopamine resets, etc & found this - https://yuki.la/fit/44873326 I find it almost impossible to read, but here's the highlights "recently I experienced a very drastic transformation, going from a lazy guy... to a very disciplined person... with a degree of self-control that...

    Dopamine Fasting (NSFW language)

    MINDSET 
    Totally agree! I think of it like this... Humans are basically just creatures responding to stimuli - chasing pleasure & avoiding pain. We create ingrained habits of how to get pleasure & avoid pain that have a HUGE impact on our results in life. Pathway that will reward you: working out &...

    Dopamine Fasting (NSFW language)

    MINDSET 
    This guy is a proponent of water fasting (going 24 to 72 hours without food, only water + salt basically) for weightloss. This video is specifically about how most problems are really a dopamine problem. Our dopamine is constantly elevated (or completely fatigued) due to environmental stimuli...
