    Victim mentality? Wow.

    Can We Talk About Gary V? (Vaynerchuck)

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Respectfully (and I do actually mean that ) I think it’s you who is missing the point. Gary V preaches to those going from zero to success. Whereas what his life experience was going from substantial success to even more substantial success. To me he is the type of person MJ talks about who...

    Can We Talk About Gary V? (Vaynerchuck)

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    And that’s exactly my point. If your starting from a $3m business at the offset then you’re not stuck for money, you’re probably pretty free to decide how you want to focus your time. Making a YouTube channel from that position versus making a YouTube channel when you have a day job / money...

    Can We Talk About Gary V? (Vaynerchuck)

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Yes it’s true. He talks a lot about how he took the family business from $3million to $30million. However the point he doesn’t focus on ever is that he started with a business doing $3million annually.

    I do get that but still.... he started from an extreme advantage given the type of advice he gives. I’ve read both of his books And he really hammers home on the “you can start from nothing and make it if you hustle hard enough and suffer long enough” routine. However he started with a multi...

    I find it absurd that he talks about the hustle etc when he started with multi million dollar family business under his belt.

    Hello! Sam Russell - heavy metal guitarist

    INTRO 
    Hi Sam, I feel like this is the first post in here that I am qualified to comment on lol. If you read my other posts you’ll see that I used to be in the music industry as a signed performing artist (a guitarist in a rock band actually). We did the whole deal, music videos in Hollywood, toured...

    I f***ed up.

    MINDSET 
    Interesting! I looked at air traffic control in my early 20s and yes.... the recruitment process is brutal.... rightfully so. Example question (paraphrased): Your plane is at 7000ft burning fuel at 70litres per minute. You have 15 miles to land safely and you have a leak in the fuel tank...

    Focus Vs loading the gumball machine

    MINDSET 
    hi, I wonder if you could help me make sense of something. I’m well aware of the need to focus on a product/business - however @MJ DeMarco also talks about loading the machine with gold balls (apologies if that’s not 100% how it’s described in the book). I am dedicated to, and focussed on my...

    Crazy month: on route to debt free

    MINDSET 
    this month (August 2018), the stars aligned and I came into little bits of money from 3 different sources in the one week. A) freelance gig payment B) day job bonus C) payout from my FTE 18 months ago It added up to a not life changing but significant amount of money (to me). Anyway 19...

    What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I just got around to watching the latest Star Wars movie... I'm glad someone else mentioned the bombs dropping scene. What the hell was that all about?! And also what was with the crap jokes? The Expanse is awesome! Anyone watching Killjoys?

    What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Pre FTE I was a massive TV buff. My colleagues used to be amazed at how I could keep up with so many shows. These days I watch maybe 2 episodes of something per week. Right now it's Luke Cage and also Doomsday Preppers, which is a netflix documentary about prepping. Love it!

    Side hustle idea

    IDEA 
    This is great advice, however for now I'm gonna stick with the original plan. It is/was just supposed to be a simple one night project that might get me some long tail cash. Your idea is awesome but that really would detract from my main project. Thanks for replying!
