    How to fix poor attention to detail and focus?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's different for everyone. I know some people who prefer medication and others who've figured out how to manage very well through stuff like cognitive behavioral therapy. Like I said, even with my recent diagnosis to confirm what I've suspected for years, a few weeks ago when I started...

    How to fix poor attention to detail and focus?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    As someone who just got diagnosed with ADHD after 19 YEARS of being bounced around from different therapists who only focused on the anxiety and depression aspect of my mental health (which those are usually comorbid with ADHD and can effectively mask it), just wanted to say thank you @JAJT...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Hey all, it's been a bit. Figured I'd update, though I'll keep it brief: Got two more clients, bringing me up to a total of seven. Want to get to ten by the end of June and see how that feels. I have a lukewarm (tepid, really) and three warm leads, though I'm still building relationships and...

    Intro: designer from California, interested in creating software + online businesses

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! If you don't mind my asking (since I know of Etsy but have never really used it before), an Etsy template is the same as templates for Shopify and WordPress, right? For some reason, my brain jumped to like.. product templates since I know there's a lot of PoD-related stuff...

    My First Foray Into Ecommerce

    EXECUTION 
    I figured I'd update over here in case people were wondering about this project. Since my content marketing strategy business has been taking off (progress thread), my ecommerce project's on indefinite hold for now -- or at least it's been demoted to side project. I still want to do a few more...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    I'm happy to report that after one of my clients decided he wanted to up his monthly plan (needs more content), I finally attained the first revenue goal I set for myself when I started this thread: $5,000/month. Now on to $7,500/month. And to find that elusive editor I'll need to further...

    When Is It a Good Idea To Get a Sales Job?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Before I weigh in, I'm curious OP: what do you do right now to make money? Either way, sales experience is definitely useful for entrepreneurship, but I have a few extra points to consider based on your answer.

    Do you need to learn coding for web design, even if you are using Wordpress?

    EXECUTION WEB DESIGN 
    WordPress is pretty plug-and-play at this point between the different themes and plugins available. Though I'll say having at least a basic understanding in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS helps which you can get for free just by searching on YouTube or trying your hand at those languages on sites...

    Is It Late Or Stupid To Start A Blog In 2021?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yeah, I'm honestly kinda sad. Was hoping he'd figure out how to pivot properly or that this thread had a little more insight I could learn from as I continue to scale my own blogs (indeed, plural). Maybe I'm weird but finding people cut through a supersaturated niche and capture a piece of that...

    Are you a positive-sum game entrepreneur or zero-/negative-sum game?

    QUESTION 
    Ahh, that makes more sense and if it motivates you, great! At least it's not negative-sum hahaha. Sports and dating are both status-related so they're naturally zero-sum game but the job market and real estate/land within a city can be potentially positive-sum. For instance, with the job...

    Are you a positive-sum game entrepreneur or zero-/negative-sum game?

    QUESTION 
    I'm curious: what are some examples of these zero-sum things you speak of?

    Who are your favorite influencers/content creators to follow on LinkedIn?

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    To preface, I've been cutting out a lot of my social media consumption aside from Instagram (to get ideas for my ecommerce store and just good video/visual content in general) and LinkedIn (especially since I use it for B2B connections). I also know that there's a glut of really low-quality...

    Thanks for this. I was just visiting this thread to vent how I hate being impatient and when I clicked on it, this was the first thing that popped up. I am R E I N V I G O R A T E D. But yeah, I needed this. Much appreciated, friend.
