    Is goal setting B#LLSH@t?!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Don't let Adams fool you. For a long time, every single day, he got out a piece of paper and wrote the following 20 times "I will become a world famous cartoonist" Perhaps it's an issue of semantics, but I'd conclude he not only used a goal, he made sure it was on his mind every single day.

    Author spent 5 years interviewing 177 selfmade millionaires to find their secrets. Findings inside.

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    Very interesting, thank you for posting. It does look as though a minimum of 6% of his "rich" aren't really rich at all, but even with this potential sampling mistake, there are some categories that are really telling.

    My friend asked me to sell his business, but I don't know anything about selling a business!

    Find a business broker and refer this out. That's the biggest help you could give.

    Offering A Money Back Guarantee On Products?

    I personally believe it's a must. I mean, unless you only take cash. Customers can charge back and what not regardless of your policy, and since this is true, you're better off turning this into a FEATURE rather than hoping they don't realize it's essentially a requirement.

    Essential supplements: Which ones do you take?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Great idea for a thread. What I currently take shouldn't be taken as what I'll always take... Everyday I take a min of 720 mg of Omega-3. Everyday I take a min of 3g of Absorbic Acid powder. I'm mostly off of working out for the summer, I supplement creatine when I'm more active. Currently...

    Unscripted has brought me back to my senses.

    INTRO 
    Fascinating first encounter with the book there. That's pretty cool, plus you took the step to engage the passenger about it. Look forward to seeing your future posts.

    Has Amazon become a monopoly?

    HOT! 
    I don't know if AMZN is a monopoly, but they sure are a problem. It does sadden me that such a brilliant idea and execution that was Amazon the world's biggest book retailer has become the monster that will cut your throat without thinking twice. They are vulnerable and aren't totally...

    I have zero motivation to work after losing over $100,000

    HOT! FTE 
    This is classic learned helplessness. Unfortunately for me, I lived there before - more than once. The gist is, you work hard and then something that you perceive to be out of your control takes away your just triumph and if this happens in a specific way, your will and enthusiasm go bye bye...

    Rich Kids Never Succeed?

    INTRO 
    Work as much as needed. Sleep as needed. These vary depending on the person and environment, you must find your own way with it. As for where you start, it doesn't matter. What's important is where you're going and keeping that in your mind constantly.

    Poker Pro: Increasing My Financial Literacy to Create the Life I Want

    INTRO 
    Going from 0 to MSNL in 2.5 yrs in this day and age is impressive. I quit poker around the time you started. Way to go. Coaching is giving you the variance free money as well, but it's linked to your time. And well, downswings suck. The common way to decouple your time from revenue is to...

    Convince me to buy / not buy a new car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Everyone here makes a valid point. The key phrase that stood out to me was "daily driver". Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that implies you have a nicer car tucked away for sport/fun, nice weather, etc. In this case, the daily driver is supposed to be a car that you don't feel terrible about...

    30 yo UK'er poker pro and pro procrastinator!

    INTRO 
    You can make this forum your 2+2, it's smaller but the advice supremely valuable. Sure, poker is a bit more straightforward. You open up your HH, you run equity calcs, post some marginal spots, make adjustments, etc... with business you start with an objective and find your way to it. Some of...

    Intentionally Changing Your Mindset

    MINDSET 
    There are two ways that mindsets change (that I'm aware of). The first is basically an FTE. Basically it's like you said, "something major is happening in their lives that kind of wakes them up." The other way, generally acknowledged, is more brute force spaced repetition. Basically...

    Should I Start a Vegan Business If I Don't Believe In It?

    HOT! 
    You don't have to be a user of your product, and in fact, it might be better if you weren't. However, I personally think that if you believe what you sell is complete BS, you'll have a tough go at it. Imagine feeling icky about yourself after every sale... that sort of psychological approach...
