    The problem is that you think feeling bad is a bad thing

    I'm already done my goal, I was already 80% done with it when I got on the call, I needed to just edit the videos so I had a video editor help me with that. I'm also set to reach my goal of reaching an additional 2,000 people this week. So I'm gonna make another 3 videos, filmed, edited, and...

    I broke my leg not long ago, had to get surgery on it. When I got back into the gym I lost all my leg strength and was only comfortable squatting the bar. I am very grateful that my leg has been able to heal enough that I can squat below parallel without pain. So I appreciate leg day very much...

    Brutally Criticise My Landing Page

    MARKETING 
    Looks fake. Even if I was in the target market I wouldn't give this page my email address. There's no social proof. Nobody I know, or who is anything like me, shows results. There's no specifics. Who is this for? If it's for everybody, then it's general bullshit that I can find online w/o...

    Where to learn entrepreneurial stuff especially finance terms? Just finished the chapter in the part 7 of TMF.

    QUESTION 
    Investopedia is a great resource, it's written in plain language. But you don't need to know all of this right now.

    My challenge with books

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    Not all books are meant to be read cover to cover. Your method is fine. But your brain is tricking you. If you're annoyed at not finishing it, tell yourself that your goal isn't to finish the book but to get one actionable "nugget" that you can use right now. Then the pressure is off. You...

    So You’re an Elite Performer? Maybe, And Maybe Not.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    It's cool in theory. I think this is what we tend to want from our lives. We all want to do fun work, that gets paid well, that we get recognition for, and that does visible good in the world. But there are some issues with it. 1) What you can be paid for - a lot of work is actually unpaid...

    So You’re an Elite Performer? Maybe, And Maybe Not.

    In some sense, believing that you're an elite performer, or that you need to be one, is a limiting belief! Great post.

    You won't know LTV for a while so don't worry about it, estimate it using a spreadsheet of all your customers, what they bought, & how often they bought How far can you realistically drive to make a job worthwhile? GTA isn't big but traffic is a real bitch. What other pockets of customers look...

    Wrong. You gotta remit it regardless (unless you're making under $30k which you won't be by EOY)

    Scaling my car detailing business

    EXECUTION 
    Probably not. Your budget is probably not big enough. Your audience is several hundred thousand people and your service is (likely) seasonal. Demand for your service isn't static though so you can run the ads to the same people a bunch of times and they'll call on you when they need their car...

    They are choosing beggars. It's up to you to tell them "if you want me to support you, you're going to need to follow these boundaries. Sis, you need to get a job. I don't care what it is, and you have to give some of that to Mom. Mom, I'll help you out, but I will not give you money just...

    Setting Dogs and Their People Up for Success in Behavior, Health, and Life - Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    Start with the end result. Generally people seek out dog professionals when they have a problem with their dog. A year ago I ran lead generation campaigns for a dog training company. The format was very simple: Google ads for a specific dog problem (let's say separation anxiety), then a simple...
