    How do you stop self sabotaging for good?

    HOT! MINDSET

    ...At this point they are, like I mentioned I'll miss the guaranteed income but now there's a lot of things I can at least try in regard to networking and client meetings and the severance gives me run way. In a way, it's almost a dream scenario, instead of walking out, I got separated and...

    That’s a big part of it. If your heart isn’t into the job and you are that frustrated… chances are you are not doing anyone any favours by being there. Your employer recognized that and made the decision for you. And it’s a good decision for both you and your employer. It is good. Best of...

    ...Hmm. I'm not a big fan of networking events - too many people seem to be in pitch mode. I prefer going to courses and workshops for local business owners. Say you went to a workshop on how to use LinkedIn for your business. At the start you're often asked to quickly introduce yourself and...

    ...and thankfully my city is large enough not to step on Zack's toes. I'd put this off for awhile for some reason running off of hopium that networking would be enough- but looking at the metrics the only thing I have to lose is roughly 60$ in adspend to clear back the money and make profit...

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    - AI - 
    LinkedIn is wholly, and holy, F*cking garbage with all of the new AI posts. It is so absurd because everything reads all the same. The new age of money-chasing has begun and I'm afraid that a large number of people will be sacrificing their own personal growth and development in order to chase...

    SAAS / APPS 
    Hi all, Quick update on my outreach so far: Two more demos done: Manager A loved the app, but their company already provides them with a scheduling tool—and they actually prefer using Excel. So that one’s a no for paying out of pocket. Manager B really liked the core features and suggested...

    Should i learn the basics of code & then use A.I to code?

    IDEA 
    You should use AI to learn how to code. Open up ChatGPT and tell it you want to learn the basics of .net core 8 (or whatever) and its going to spit out a bunch of stuff you do not understand. Start at the first thing you do not understand and say, "Explain this to me". Be clear to it that...

    The guy in the coal mine is ‘working harder’ than the CEO back in the air conditioned boardroom. So why does the CEO make 100 times more? One word: judgment. Judgment is rare, leveraged, and has compounding effects. In a world where machines, computers, and robots are doing more of the...
