    The True Purpose of University Education - Jordan Peterson

    So reading is suppose to give you the ability to articulate yourself? I don't buy it. Experience, conversing in person with others, and writing builds an articulate person. Reading without action can only go so far. IMO, college should be about gaining as many new experiences as possible...

    How bad do you want it? Enough to go "all in?"

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    After I finished college I was 'finally' free to move away. I picked a city (Austin TX), packed up my car and drove 1800 miles by myself. I had planned to share an apt with a girl who responded to my room wanted ad on craigslist. When I told people about this story I always get a response such...

    I'm down for an Austin meetup. Fastest growing city in the US, we should have some opportunities, eh?

    What's your focus? Making pennies? Or Millions?

    MINDSET 
    Agreed, MJ. The real moral of the story is that to make big money, you need to add big value (real and perceived) as MJ says in Unscripted. Investing small sums of cash should get a return, but it's nowhere as powerful as building a business that combines the resources of employees, knowledge...

    List of NEEDS to fill thread

    Traffic congestion in populated areas due to autos. Expensive real estate in desirable areas. Water supply in arid climates.

    Why should I have kids?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Make sure you are sure one way or the other before you get married, and your partner agrees with you. I married someone who was maybe 20% yes to kids, and I'm more like 70% and I feel we are going in opposite directions on it. Time is running out as she is 34. I'm not sure what's going to happen.

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I decided to buy Unscprited before TMF. Just finished last night. I plan to reread a lot of the middle chapters. The stuff on the feedback loop is gold. It applies to many areas of life I believe.

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    While I haven't seen the big lines you speak of in Austin, I do like how they have updated the ambiance and technology in their locations. It seems they are trying to get the "higher end starbucks" demographic in there. If only they started offering more healthy, real food options... About the...

    I wish I watched the show before the markets closed. I think it was a good buying opportunity today.

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Every time I put on a suit for an interview I felt like a complete tool. I call it my bullshit suit. Especially when it's not winter and I'm sweating because of it. My everyday attire is synthetic collared golf shirts and mesh shorts. My wife makes me put on real shorts when we go out. I can't...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just posted a Craigslist ad and threw up a number of two months revenue. Assets were equipment, brand, customer accounts which were not under contract, web domain name. I had a lot of responses. Even with no employees. About 120 accounts, basic lawn mowing. Mow edge blow. I met with the buyer...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just sold my lawn business. Your numbers can vary so much. There is great potential. I could do $600 days myself with a push mower. The key is really good routes and multiple jobs per stop. I did it with all battery equipment. Cue the disbelievers. Its effective for small properties. I sold...

    Is earning $1000 a day a realistic goal for business owners?

    I took in 730 in one day of mowing lawns last year. It was a 10hr day, but definitely doable. That was by myself, my own labor. If I had 2 crews of 2 workers, I think netting 1000 a day is realistic. I ended up selling the business before hiring anyone though.

    Anyone else had a shittty/mediocre experience when getting design or creative work done?

    Yeh I had a whiteboard commercial made on fiverr. The guy had a great rating but was slow to respond and seemed disorganized and unprofessional. The other guy who I had make me a logo was better.

    It's time for a "fast food" revolution

    HOT! 
    Every chipotle I've been in has been way faster than McDonald's. Personally I love the idea of a healthy fast food place. Price needs to be max $7 for a meal. I think the soup idea is worthy. Easy to make a huge quantity to keep costs low. I'm not too concerned with being able to consume while...
