    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    MINDSET 
    If it's an offer problem... Maybe pick up CRO too so you can make your offer more results-oriented? If you generate big numbers for someone, you generally will get compensated accordingly. I'd learn the basics of user psychology and copywriting and reach out to companies to boost their...

    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    MINDSET 
    Forget yourself. Forget your feelings, your emotions and your so-called 'lack of hunger'. Look outwards. Any time I start getting into these introspective moods, that's when I realize I'm focusing too much on what little 'me' wants. Take account of what you have, rather than what you don't...

    What YouTube channels do you recommend?

    MINDSET HEALTH 
    Here are some recommendations from my subscriptions list. I like Sam Ovens' old videos for mindset/productivity advice. His long-form videos in particular always get my thinking right and I rewatch them quite often. This newer channel helped me get into the flow state more often when working...

    Finding pain points in a particular industry

    MINDSET 
    What kind of leads are you targeting? I would start there. For example, let's say you're targeting e-commerce business owners. There are tools like Apollo.io that have the option to filter databases of leads by technology used (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.) as well as revenue generated and the...

    How To Go From a Scarcity To an Abundance Mindset. This changed my life.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This was an amazing read Sal, thank you for writing this! I've been dealing with a scarcity mindset for the longest time and your post spurred me to start actively working on my mindset again. Ian Stanley is one hilarious dude - I love his email advice but I've always found his guided...

    How much of the self-development/success industry recommendations are COMPLETE BS?

    Release Your Brakes! - A Fastlaner's Guide to Optimal Energy, Focus and Health for Maximum $$$

    HEALTH 
    What is the most efficient form of cardio I can include? Like, which one gives you the biggest calorie burn for your time? I've heard people rave about walking 10k steps a day, but man that's a lot of wasted time just walking. (I can easily hit that when I have some errands to run, though.)...

    What are your trusted resources? There is too many 'information' out there.

    I think it's good to pick one or a few people who have accomplished what you want -- those who've 'been there and done that' -- and then 'model' yourself after them. (Shoutout to Tony Robbins.) Read all their stuff and listen to all their interviews. See what sources of info they recommend...

    Redbull VS Coffee. What to choose?

    HEALTH 
    As I've read somewhere, matcha was the beverage of choice of samurais. They traditionally drank it to help them cultivate heightened levels of focus and calm their minds before battle. So if it was good enough for them, it's certainly good enough for me!

    Redbull VS Coffee. What to choose?

    HEALTH 
    I’ve also noticed this. Here’s a video that explains it nicely. It’s apparently due to something called ‘sleep pressure’. View: https://youtu.be/q9q3hfsPYpM I’ve also heard Shawn Stevenson talk about this — he calls it the ‘money time’ period. According to him, those hours from 10AM-2AM are...

    Fast lane is a mindset

    MINDSET 
    Guys, I might be in the minority here, but I think OP delivered massive value with this thread. It looks like he summarized 500+ motivational 'mindset' videos into a few insightful sentences you can use to fix your mindset. He actually SAVED you all that time you would spend watching those...

    Redbull VS Coffee. What to choose?

    HEALTH 
    Physical exercise is the GOAT when it comes to restoring wakefulness and mental clarity. Try these on for size before OD'ing on caffeine: Tip #1: Buy a jump rope and start skippin' when you start to mellow down to get your blood moving. (Or run, swim or cycle for a while, same effect.) Tip #2...

    Am i throwing in the towel?

    Try thinking about it not as simply being 'different' rather being 'more useful' than the rest. Is there a way to validate the demand for your new product? It's usefulness? The scope and the intensity of the value you are providing? I'm no expert but one thing I've learned is that you gotta...

    Doing the Andy Frisella "75 Hard" Challenge

    Planning to do this. Any apps you guys personally recommend for tracking the five habits? (Not a fan of pen-and-paper myself)

    Best books for financial literacy?

    When I was researching a product in the retirement niche I found a lot of YouTube videos that made it easy for me (a total layman) to understand. They use helpful, real-life analogies to break down concepts like debits and credits, balancing books, how stocks and indexes work etc. Usually...
