    Badass hobbies.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I raced stock cars back in the 1980s, and flew sportsman aerobatics for a while. Both were fun and probably qualify as badass, though neither was cheap. I was also really into shooting for a while and got into reloading my own ammunition. When we lived in Texas, I spent much of my free time...

    Bought a huge house with a 3 car garage and a pool!

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I'll be the contrarian here. No need for despair at all. Every day, LeftBench wakes up to ... motivation! Beautiful surroundings that he provided for his family. Now, this provides motivation in a couple of ways. Yes, there's the negative motivation of wanting to hang on to it and not slide...

    How Did / Do YOU Deal With Fear of Criticism?

    MINDSET 
    The people who are closest to you are always the ones who will be most critical. They wrongly interpret your desire for business success as you trying to make yourself "better then them." This sets off their alarm bells - you're trying to leave the heard and they want to pull you back in. When...

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Had a few jobs: Soda Jerk Gas Station Attendant (back when we pumped your gas and checked your oil) Lineman (but not for the county) A few odds and ends - pretty sure the statute of limitations is up on all of 'em Contract Pilot on Gvt. Contract (mostly taking pictures of stuff people didn't...

    Has anyone dropped their spouse or significant other...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I've dumped...three. First one I was just a young guy of 19 or 20. Swiped her from a state senator's son. Sonny boy cried to daddy, who had me arrested on trumped up charges and tossed in the clink. Dumped! But as they hauled me off, I said to the sheriff in my best Terminator voice, "I'll be...

    Does anybody have advice in business to business sales?

    MARKETING 
    Nothing really to add here. So much great advice in this thread, I'm in awe. Print it out and put it in a binder. More value here than in all the expensive books and time consuming sales guru's seminars and trainings I've shelled out for over the years! Damn, I'm glad I found this site. Cheers, O-2

    My next ride

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not really a flying car - more of a "roadable" airplane. Still need a runway, and Don't think for a minute the airport operator will just open the gate and let you have access to the runway for free... Cheers, O-2

    People don't want "Free Money"

    People do want free money. Just look at all the able-bodied people on welfare and food stamps. The video set up looked like a gimmick or scam. I would have avoided it too. Cheers, O=2

    Um, maybe he just likes the picture, sort of like the folks here who post pictures of the Ferrari or Lamborghini they wish they owned... He never said it was HIS desk! Cheers, O-2

    Welcome Mark. I've developed a few AI systems (neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.) for personal trading (and sports betting). Looking forward to hearing more from you. Cheers, O-2

    What does your avatar mean?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The O-2 (nicknamed "Oscar Deuce," get it?) was originally used for forward air control during the Vietnam war. O-2 pilots would arrive at the target first and "mark" it with white prosperous tipped rockets for the heavy fighter bombers (usually F105s) that followed. O-2s were also used in a...

    Apple Watch... Yea or Nay?

    HOT! 
    No to Apple (never bought an Apple product and never will) No to "smart watches" (WTF?) Damn, that's an ugly thing!!! Seems to me like a solution in search of a problem... Heck, since I have to carry a cell phone around with a clock built in, I hardly ever even wear a watch at all these days...

    Need some advice (follow your passion? Binary options?)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    The big problem with the "do what you love" crap is that what most of us love to do isn't something we can get paid for. Also, you might find that once you "have" to do it to get paid (and do it to a certain level of quality), you don't love it anymore. Cheers, O-2

    Need some advice (follow your passion? Binary options?)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Instead of worrying about your passion or whatever, why not find a need and figure out a way to fulfill that need? Look for goods or services lots of people (or just a few wealthy people) need and use but don't want to make or do themselves. You'll never go broke performing a service people need...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    MINDSET 
    Not sure you're wasting time playing soccer. Even if you don't think you'll ever make millions as an athlete, you may be able to parlay your experience and love for the game into a business opportunity. Heck, being a former athlete, even if you never become a household name, will open doors in...

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

    NOTABLE! 
    You're right Vigilante, it wasn't luck. A lot of it was hard work. Most things worth having are worth working hard for. We made a commitment to each other, and neither of us takes it lightly. Cheers, O-2

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

    NOTABLE! 
    I count myself as one of the lucky ones who married right. She married a middle manager, not an entrepreneur, but when I changed my focus, she took it all in stride. She was with me as we climbed to the top, enjoying the country club, private airplanes, boats, horses, and the condo overlooking...

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

    NOTABLE! 
    I had a coworker years ago when I was in Texas. He had a live-in girlfriend. Man, was he surprised when a legal issue arose and he found he was married under Texas common law because they had been living together for a specific time (I can't remember the period, but it was scary short, like 3...

    Is Direct Mailing Still Feasible?

    I have not, as my audience was CEOs, COOs, business owners, etc. That might work with some target markets but I wanted to convey a more polished, professional, even elite image. Cheers, O-2
