    Built a form builder that works completely differently - need honest feedback

    - AI - 
    In my previous business, forms were a major part of it, and I tinkered with them for HOURS. So please take this into consideration when I give you feedback. First of all, your main CTA is unresponsive as are some others. I had to scroll down to "Get Started for Free" for the button to actually...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    Almost a year hanging around here, and I didn't know this thread existed. I apologise in advance for my ramblings, I surmise most will likely get lost in the abyss anyway. Rambling #1: Formality has been formally laid to rest (at least for a handful of businesses). It seems a lot of...

    How to work for 14+ hours a day? Calling the ones who do.

    We're all different, but I just don't see what's compelling about your friend. I'm sorry, but his lifestyle sounds like a block of crap painted yellow to resemble gold.

    This is very true, but I'm working with the assumption that they've already came to these conclusions. To illustrate: Bob is scared of starting a business due to financial risks ⬇️ Bob reads TMF and learns about validating an idea, value skew and all the other goodness. His financial fears...

    How do you feel about using Shopify for your business?

    MARKETING 
    Shopify is the best value IMO. Don't waste time tinkering with WordPress and all this other crap, it's wasted time. I stupidly tried to use Squarespace because I thought it was cheaper, and the whole thing is just some giant upsell. Plus, it's dogshit compared to Shopify. Don't think too...

    Terrified of Failure? Read this ASAP

    GOLD! MINDSET FAILURE 
    The envelope sat atop the kitchen table. The very sight of it turned my bowels to water. I was in high school, and we'd just received our final exam gradings for the semester. I already scrolled the posts on social media—my classmates were rejoicing with their results, some even getting...

    Palantir Discussion Thread

    SAAS / APPS - AI - 
    From my 10 minute research, it does what I'd expect AI and future variations of AI to do. It could be a massive force for good (Stopping mass casualty events before they happen, etc.) However, with the way the world's going? I'm willing to bet this stuff will be used to stamp a boot on our faces.

    Why CENTS is your only holy grail and safety guard in your journey

    ASSERTION 
    Hot take: New entrepreneurs take CENTS too seriously. I'd rather start and learn from something that violates one or two commandments, than start something that validates all commandments but fails due to my own inexperience. I don't want to quote him, but I think MJ said something...

    How to work for 14+ hours a day? Calling the ones who do.

    MINDSET 
    I don't understand the context. Do you want to resemble this person or avoid becoming him? Because from the sounds of it, he's deep in the script. I'm an avid reader too, but this is called: reading for the sake of telling people "I read 3 books in the last 2 weeks!". Books aren't supposed...

    10 Habits That Separate Rich and Successful Founders From Wannabe Entrepreneurs

    NEWS 
    1. Successful entrepreneurs dream big and set goals The Magic of Thinking Big by Dave Schwartz is a good book to read to dive into this topic. It came naturally to me at an early age, but the vast majority of people are devoid of any big aspirations. 3. They read to learn, not to escape...

    AI entrepoorneur's resume for hospitality jobs

    - AI - 
    All this formatting and tweaking CVs is frivolous for a hospitality job. Don't waste your time. Find a place that's ideally family owned, and have a talk with the manager. Tell him your situation, and if he's clever, he'll realise you'll do a better job than others because your livelihood...
