    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Last game that I played "professionally" was World of Warcraft. After about 50+ days played, I deleted my character, converted all my equipment to gold, donated the gold to the guild and never touched it again. Now I will only play games on my phone that take less than 5' to complete. If I sense...

    Weak Work Ethic - Can You Help?

    MINDSET 
    It doesn't sound like you have work ethic issues, working 9-5 and then 2-4h already puts you way above most people. I think you're just hitting your capacity in terms of the output that you can produce. Have you thought of outsourcing work related to your affiliate blog? What is the blog's...

    Management Consultant (UK) looking for a Fastlane Co-Founder + Insights

    INTRO 
    Before looking for a co-founder, it'd be useful to let us know what your next venture looks like. To my knowledge, it is not uncommon for consultants to pursue their own path at some point. Maybe the timing wasn't right and you haven't been able to find one yet?

    Problems with falling asleep.

    HOT! HEALTH 
    A bit too late on this topic, but I understand where you're at. A few tips for what works for me: 1. I do not react very well with too many sugars or a huge dinner before going to sleep. Especially if it contains processed meat etc (for example if I have a burger I might have trouble sleeping)...

    This labor shortage is sooooo draining

    PEOPLE 
    It's the same situation in Canada. During covid we were hiring, we did interviews with people that didn't seem to care much about working, and it wasn't that they didn't like us - I always have the habit of checking applicants' linkedin profiles a few months after an interview. That is in the...

    Switching from night owl to early bird

    HEALTH 
    What I do on the weekends when my wife tends to sleep more, is preparing all my clothes the night before. That way, the moment I wake up, I'm out of the room :P

    Switching from night owl to early bird

    HEALTH 
    Thank you, it looks like you've "been there" What time did you use to go to bed before the change? Was your ritual of going to the gym the most important contribution to the change? Did you gradually start sleeping earlier or you just did the change overnight? Thanks!!

    Switching from night owl to early bird

    HEALTH 
    Quick background: I am an introvert/extrovert. During the day I will have to be in constant contact with employees and clients. During the night, I would do all the introvert tasks. Code reviews (from our software team), invoices, finances etc. However, I will stay up till very late. For example...

    Is job experience necessary as a tech founder

    Firstly, I am a tech founder, so I would speak of experience. Having prior tech experience definitely helped to an extent that I couldn't imagine what would happen if I didn't have any. There are so many aspects of software that you need to be aware of that it is next to impossible to figure...

    How do you guys even manage your time/energy?

    How do you guys even manage your time/energy?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Try to reduce your time-wasting habits, one step at the time. Its ridiculus to spend 25' cleaning your teeth, start by that. How do you commute to work? To you take the subway or use a car? Even working full-time, you should be able to afford 3h/day & 16h during the weekend AT LEAST for building...

    [May 20] Collision Conference 2019 in Toronto - Anyone?

    MEETUPS 
    I've only been to conferences just a handful of times, and usually it was the small rooms that had the most interesting speeches. I will probably be there, since I'm new to the city and I will get the opportunity to meet a lot of people in one place.

    From zero to 15$ in one year or less

    MINDSET 
    Well, I've seen lot of dating site ads in Facebook for sure. I think that this could be a valid channel, not sure about instagram. The thing with fb and all these social media channels is that you actually need to build an audience with the 'hope' that you make the sale sometime

    From zero to 15$ in one year or less

    MINDSET 
    Congrats on making your first sale online. I understand the hard work required to start from zero. You've proven that you can learn new things and make some money, now you have to prove that you can maintain that passion to the point that you will be able to quit your day job. Unfortunatelly...
