    How I Almost Got Punched by an Agressive Buyer

    A LOT of gold there. When I decide to price something just to "get it over with" I've noticed the flippers come out of the woodwork and they're miserable to deal with; the worst buyers. I realize flipping is a form of hustle much praised here, but please don't be a jerk about it.

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I know Female Lawyers in CA that have had over half their take-home pay confiscated by the courts to give to their ex-husbands, a truth which demolishes most of the crap on this last page. PRE-NUP /Thread

    Poll: Computer science or Mechanical engineering?

    Heh, you said CS and then proved ME was better...at least how I read it. :) I personally think a classical engineering or science (Physics or Chemistry) education is far more valuable than CS because it is so fundamental principles and systems based. Get a physics degree and then do a code...

    Poll: Computer science or Mechanical engineering?

    Good, because as common sense should tell you, ain't nothing free. I'm an ME, also did part of a EE so I have some extra programming. I would agree with @David Young on the path, and I've been in industry nearly as long; also sounds like I've had many similar experiences. We diverge at...

    Habits of The Sidewalk

    I'm reading Bill Walsh's book "The Score Takes Care of Itself" right now. Not because I care about football, but because I wanted to see how he turned the worst professional team in all sports into a dynasty that outlived him. Largely the book just fills in the details around what you laid out...

    @Andy Black I'm a dinosaur, I wish the main group I converse with on FB still had the forum. ;) I do like Mark Cuban's Cyber Dust which is sort of Snap-chatty.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    He still owns the wine stuff and VaynerMedia sounds like it's actually a big business. He certainly talks about it as being even bigger, and the wine biz was/is $65mil/yr. I've been thinking about this topic a lot, which is in part why I've been listening to Gary, trying to decide if I need...

    How to REALLY become a millionaire (Video)

    HOT! 
    I kinda chuckled when he mentioned (in the original vid) Cuban and then said you have to read all these books as part of the "formula". Cuban himself says the only books he read building his first business were on how to code. The closest thing to a formula is the one that makes the most...

    I Failed at Importing Even Though It Makes $100k/mo

    HOT! SOURCING 
    Right, exactly so. You can get a better multiple if someone else could bolt it on to their business and grow even more than either business separately could. Who could buy your business and do that? What a "problem"! :)

    Is it worth it to pay for someone to redo my resume?

    NOTABLE! 
    Correct. The one I just used auto-populated from LinkedIn, it was awesome. Having to then pee in a f#$%ing cup and then getting assigned a number wasn't so awesome, but hey, I agreed to the trip...

    "Me me me, is dull dull dull." -Old sales axiom Generic resumes don't get tossed in the trash because of which font or what bullet points you use. Your resume is the least of your concerns. Spend one day on it. Then go do the real work. Then if you have a hot lead, customize your resume...

    A Lottery Contrarian

    Many of my wife and I's best, most important discussions started with "if you/we won the lottery" at the beginning of a goals and planning session. Even in conversations while we were dating and learning if we were a match, it was a key question. As life altering as truly winning the lottery...

    The Forum's Thoughts on Veganism?

    HEALTH 
    You've been a vegetarian for two months. You've read, and proselytized, some propaganda on it. Sorry, but you don't know shit until you've done it for years.

    The Forum's Thoughts on Veganism?

    HEALTH 
    Man has some pretty specific, and otherwise inefficient, mechanisms to prefer harvesting our proteins and fats primarily from dead animals. Plus, "Pork Chops taste GOOD"

    Is it worth it to pay for someone to redo my resume?

    NOTABLE! 
    It's true even if you are an employee. Your resume should be a check the box item...with some talking points for lazy interviewers. If you do the job on LinkedIn you pretty much already have a resume though.

    We've been casually looking for some real estate and I read a couple of the books you've mentioned to other people in some of your RE comments, @SteveO. After doing a fair amount of homework, I left the money in cash. While I've never asked you about this directly, I appreciate what you've...

    Here's the real story- most successful founders are older than mid-30s. Get professional treatment and do the work. Keep your job, work on your business, work on your health with some modest exercise and don't eat like an a**hole. You are single, you have time for it all. You'll become the...
