    *RANT* "You're middle aged - you should really start thinking about your retirement."

    MINDSET 
    Only you are in control of dictating your life. Everyone has an opinion, it doesn't mean it's right for you. No sense wasting energy getting mad, focus on what's going to create your best possible life. Everything else will fall in place.

    EXECUTION

    Need your thoughts on my idea!

    IDEA 
    I use an app called parkwhiz. It is linked with a ton of NYC parking garages and I prepay for parking passes before getting there. Usually can get a better deal on parking with the app. I do have to show the attendant my pass however. Something fully automated would be more convenient if you...

    AMA - Personal Trainer

    HEALTH 
    Hey, thanks for the question. I often see lower back pain associated with a weak core and being overweight. Overweight is such a general term. Being overweight the way I use the term means being at a bodyweight where your musculature isn't strong enough to properly support your posture. Other...

    I'm in the process of hiring a mobile app development team for a rather large project. Long story short, I came up with an idea that's very unique, and can serve to create a value for a lot of people, making life a little easier. Even better I was able to sell the idea to one of my personal...

    How do you guys get a "second wind" to work on your business goals?

    MINDSET 
    Really liked Vigilante's advice up top, I've never read that book, but I have had many people including my mentor echo the same advice on how to prioritize your work. Paraphrased, he said "if you don't make time for the big scalable business that is going to change your life, Some other things...

    This week is a great week. I'll have my first ecommerce store setup and have 2000 pieces of inventory to sell. The manufacturer did a good job, and I'm happy my first time importing a product from overseas wasn't a disaster. Now the important part. Actually selling the product. It is a product...

    EXECUTION 
    It hit me tonight. Does my life control me, or do I control it? Am I deliberate? The answer is yes and no. With certain things I am very regimented, diligent and hard working. With others, not so much. Having some rough patches right now in a relationship, it's allowed me time to reflect on...

    Surprise fail that is sneaking up

    Totally agree, less government involvement in business, let the people decide. If they don't like it, the business won't be able to stay open and the issue would take care of itself, but I doubt that'll be the case.

    Thanks for all the input. I hired someone from upwork. She had a reasonable price and over 3000 hours of worked clocked with a near perfect rating. I also have given some more thought to this and think I'll give the brunt of the work away as "complimentary with sign-up" but will charge a few...
