    You Don’t Have to be a Freelancer

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA 
    No you don't need a slap. You don't have to start as a freelancer, that's true. But I wouldn't go bashing / reducing it's value to nothing either. It's like bashing somebody going to the gym and using machines instead of free-weights. At least they're going. Copywriting may pay sweet F all...

    Tools for entrepreneurs

    QUESTION 
    Well, we're at a point where almost everything has been "done" That however does not mean you cannot step in and do it better, or capture some market share. Remember a lot of larger companies are bloated inefficient messes and move pretty slowly. They make it, then they get lazy. The current...

    Not becoming a software or tech consultant

    FTE 
    Sounds like you're in a good position if you've survived the personal turmoil and come out the other side in tact. So kudos to you for that! I'd take a step back. You are bogged down a little in the "what" and focussing on a title. Make sure you also focus on the who/when/where and why. Who...

    To Travel Or Not To Travel

    MINDSET 
    Absolutely you should go. I am a firm believer that whenever you're in a position to do something, you should! Especially travel. The world is never exactly the same each year, doors can and do get slammed shut for good.

    I have an Idea I want to create

    QUESTION 
    I would recommend you try and learn how to code, if you find it's not for you at least you will have learned the lingo and have a basic understanding as to not get ripped off or taken for a ride. I wouldn't worry about wasting money on patents until you're in a position where you can execute or...

    Working For Free: At What Point Do You Say "Enough is Enough"?

    Over time you get better at knowing when to work for free strategically to gain access to a long term income source, and when someone is being a freeloading piece of shit. Don't be afraid to walk away. "It's better than nothing" doesn't always ring true. Sometimes nothing is better! There is an...

    Why does my mind go blank when its actually time to do the hard work?

    MINDSET 
    I think your first mistake is framing the work as "hard" - it's putting up an unnecessary psychological barrier between yourself and the tasks you know you should complete to achieve a broader goal. Instead of "I have to ________" try "I get to _________" Instead of I need to _________ " try "I...

    Fastlane Fasting Friends

    HEALTH 
    I fast a lot - 24 and 48 hour fasts on a regular basis. It's simple, it's effective and it allows me to indulge and pig out and not get fat. I've noticed it's made me look younger too. Was not looking great when eating all the time - fatter and also just ashy and grey.

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It is mild, but it's all relative and I still hate it haha, I need sunlight every day to function and be happy! I am exactly the same. It's one sided and a lot of it its in my own head. I think it's also the security of "knowing" if something went down and their health declined I could rush...

    How to know if someone IS actually wealthy?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Determining how wealthy someone is depends on where you live. From what I have seen, the culture is vastly different abroad in the USA compared to here in Australia. Wealth appears to be "flaunted" over there in a much more overt manner, and it's publicly acceptable to do so. Not here. It's...

    Welcome. I can't imagine staring down the barrel of war at 18 , but in reading your post something tells me you got this and are on the right track. Keep going and stay strong!

    Hi, why so many one post drive bys?

    INTRO 
    I've found it's often people who don't contribute and hold back that have the most to offer. Workplaces and all walks of life are full of hot air blowers with nothing to back up their claims and statements. So if one is reading this and lurking, perhaps they should take the plunge, sign up and...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'm in Melbourne Australia and while we have a nice spring and summer, I pretty much HATE winter. I know I'm a soon because an Australian "winter" is moderate and nothing like the brutal ones I see and read about on TV. For perspective, I did not see or touch snow until I was like 30 years old...
