    How to detect deceitful people

    HOT! 
    Haha your story speaks to me on a spiritual level! I think everyone above have made great points and it's also great (and sad) to see that I'm not the only one who's encountered deceitful people. After years of pondering, I would say that the only way to spot deceitful people is to be exposed...

    Advice and clarity really needed

    This is absolute gold - You would not believe how much this has helped me overnight! It really did help. You're completely right - we became so desperate for money that value disappeared into the background. From now any venture I do, I will do my best to ensure that I'm focusing on value...

    Advice and clarity really needed

    Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate the time it would have taken to write it. I am a CNC programmer & operator by day. However the CNC software I specialize in is very rare in New Zealand and I work in the only large company to actually use the software on their machines. The...

    Advice and clarity really needed

    Hello everyone. I want to keep this as short and to the point as possible. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut my entire adult life. Ever since my first job at 18, I have been trying to make extra money on the side. Between the ages of 18-25, I took a half-assed approach by trying to buy...

    Why do we love losers?

    EXECUTION RANT 
    I think those types of people love to see others fail because it makes them feel better about their meaningless lives. I have an attractive & ambitious but insecure sister who hangs around UGLY girls with no ambition. I suspect she likes to do this as it makes her feel better about herself -...

    Habit changer: TV is a pitiful waste of time

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I literally just threw my TV in a rubbish skip. I've found the best ways to stop distractions are to simply remove them. E.g: I always found myself going on the Facebook app without thinking. Suddenly I'm scrolling the newsfeed and wondering how I got there. So I deleted the Facebook app from...

    Can I criticize (or hate) a book I haven't read entirely?

    BOOKS 
    It's funny, but some of the most popular books recommended by gurus: Money Master the Game, 4 Hour Work Week, Principles - even Blue Ocean Strategy - bored the sh*t out of me! Some of the books by smaller, less well-known figures have been fantastic - probably the writers are putting their...

    Should I worry about getting crushed?

    Execution is EVERYTHING. That is all

    Quit now, get a job, and why bother. Everything is luck.

    MINDSET RANT 
    So I completely agree with a lot of what you said in the OP. I'm 30 now and only just recovering from 5 years of the same bullshit. Tony Robbins saying "just follow your passion" Robert Kiyosaki saying "invest in assets"... all the generic guru advice out there just F***s you up because it's...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Haha it's a new thing for my business too. I basically just printed out a 12 page calendar and stuck it to my wall. This is for 2019 so not much written on it yet. Am planning 2019 out over the next 4 days which will include a process flowchart in the empty space to the right

    The short, random wisdom thread (needs mentioning, but not a thread!)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Great idea! There are a few concepts/pearls of wisdom I've picked up that I have to read through every day so I remember to do them. I think it comes down to the fact that our memory IS terrible and must be constantly reminded. My list grows longer with each book I read. FOCUS Stop crying, take...
