    Slicing the issue of focus

    MINDSET 
    I think this nut is finally cracked, at least as far as I'm concerned. Two things I've recently read really bring this to final conclusion. First this post at least draws a big question mark on the whole "do one thing" paradigm: ADD Is Your Friend or Why Distractions Are The Key To Your...

    Slicing the issue of focus

    MINDSET 
    I agree. What I was trying to point out was not that it's ok to have multiple grand purposes or ideas, but rather that the nature of the grand purpose can allow for vastly different paths to be taken towards their fulfillment some of which inevitably involve the utilization of multiple skills...

    Slicing the issue of focus

    MINDSET 
    Not surprising. :) That's a great strategy, one of those good habits that would be good to develop. Asking ourselves questions sometimes seems so underrated, but whenever I try it myself I get some interesting results. Questions motivate thinking, the more specific a question, the deeper...

    Slicing the issue of focus

    MINDSET 
    As someone with a multitude of interests I often find it challenging to stay singularly motivated for one thing. This made me think a lot about focus (which has already spawned some threads about the issue here before). I've been through the process of figuring out what precisely is it that I...

    Gonna do what I love, mistakes and failures be damned!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Then I am almost there. :D I don't have a standard job, didn't have it in years, and when I did it was in a few relatively short bursts. I finished high school and went on with doing stuff on the web right away.. eventually I started making a basic living. But since then 100% of my time is my...

    Gonna do what I love, mistakes and failures be damned!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    That's exactly it. :) Yeah I think you're on to something. Perhaps the advice which is seemingly against doing solely what you love to do is not so much against doing what you love as much as it is against doing it while blind to the desires and wants of other people or the possible...

    Gonna do what I love, mistakes and failures be damned!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Thanks for replies. :) True, I think I should have said what use is acting like I have to achieve the 10th step right now when I don't even know how to do the first, but still keeping the dream alive is indeed good. It's kinda how I was thinking.. I wanted to find the project which is most...

    Gonna do what I love, mistakes and failures be damned!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    I'd like to share some of my recent thinking about the process of success, mostly because I'm interested in what others think about it and because some of my current conclusions might go against some advice I've gotten here. First of all, how does one define "fastlane"? I think it is different...

    The fallacies

    MINDSET 
    I'm somewhat frustrated because I thought I'm taking the right steps, yet continuously find myself back at the square one: thinking, searching... etc. And I'm beginning to think that the reason is adoption of certain fallacies, principles which at first seem perfectly valid, but somehow just...

    The 48 Laws of Power

    MINDSET 
    I just opened a whole bunch of tabs including this one, skimmed these laws and it seems that they're generally coming from a "competition oriented" mentality. And that reminds me of the book by Wallace Wattle, The Science of Getting Rich whom emphasizes the creative mentality (or creative...

    Focus and experimentation in web publishing

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I might have misjudged demand for the new service. I'm yet to do some more testing, but the project described above seems more suited as a side job for an extra buck (whenever it generates few sales that it may ever generate) than a fastlane vehicle. What is in demand don't necessarily appear to...

    Products from Lands Far Far Away

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can sell various services where you do something you do know how to do for someone for a fee (for example, web site designs). You can also buy and sell domain names or web sites. And of course, you can sell advertising by building a well trafficked and well ranked web site and putting paid...

    Focus and experimentation in web publishing

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Since I promised to disclose the project of choice I'm working on, here it is: Site2Review.com. I am offering constructive and honest web site reviews with two unique characteristics: each review follows a predefined outline so that the customer knows what to expect and it allows the customer...

    Focus and experimentation in web publishing

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi Matt, sorry for the late reply. I was out of internet connection for a few days. Not very long, but once my attention shifts to something else it's not permanent. There are a few things which I seem to continuously come back to and so I treat this as the set of interests that really belong...

    Focus and experimentation in web publishing

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm glad to report that soon I will be launching a new website/service which both me and my sister think is the best idea I've had so far in terms of potential for reaching the goal I've set. It's almost finished, but I'll launch and start offering the service once I complete the ongoing move...
