    Setting health goals

    MINDSET 
    Once I got this idea from Brian Tracy that one can set health goals. I tried this idea at some point in the past, and it worked! Certain health difficulties used to consume hours of my time every week, sometimes more than 10 hours. I cannot say that I have solved the issues completely, but...

    is it wrong trying to become millionaire in 2 year when you earn $0?

    MINDSET 
    Any goal is better than no goal. After I learned the idea of goal setting from nobody else but Brian Tracy, I put it into practice by setting what I thought were 10 very modest goals for the year ahead. Believe it or not, I accomplished exactly zero of those. Simply setting a goal does not...

    High paying job with fast growth

    Know a friend who has been making this kind of money, slightly less but same ballpark, and similarly had upside. The problem is, expenses grow to meet income, especially when you are hoping for more. Five years ago I asked him, what if he kept working long hours for another 5 years and still...

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Some people do well with quitting cold turkey, others do well with limiting frequency and indulging once in 2-3 months. Either way, the consensus seems to be that motivation alone is not sufficient, unless you have access to a source of incredible motivation. There are many approaches to this...

    "Cashing in" on "Big Data"?

    At my previous consulting company we have evaluated numerous data vendors. Every such dataset takes weeks of competent data science effort to evaluate before purchase. Unless you are a known entity, the burden of proof is on you that your dataset is worth anything, let alone if it is useful for...

    Potential app idea

    IDEA 
    Manually compile a list of 1000 items in a neighborhood. E.g. paper towels from A, epsom salt from B, dried fruit from C. You don't need to have every item from every place. Then show it to some old folks who aren't going to the store. Don't build an app, just a list on a website. Offer to...

    Is it bad to cross-post blog articles?

    MARKETING 
    Strange question. There are many ways to cheat or scam people. Usually no consequences unless somebody bothers to sue you. Search engines will likely figure out the original source and downgrade your content. If you know many good blogs, might as well write review articles or create a niche...

    Grounding - I was shocked!

    HEALTH 
    Just as @WabiSabi I used to believe and practice a lot of stuff, particularly when I was studying a lot of yoga and Alexander Technique (which does work), meditating a lot etc. Then it slowly started to dawn on me that there were other people who weren't doing any of this stuff, just spent the...

    Self-Promotion: Post Your Offer, YT Channel, Services, etc. (2022)

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hi all, do you have employees who don't communicate well, particularly developers, because they are abroad and/or too junior? I've been developing a corporate training to improve communication skills. So far it's been tested on junior developers from India. Would love to train your employees...

    The Journey Begins (disenchanted programmer who discovered fastlane)

    INTRO 
    The main problem with EHRs is that there are so many, and they are all incompatible. The average Medicare patient in the U.S. has data spread over 9 different EHRs, or so I was told by a senior medical executive at some conference a few years ago. A little different from EHRs, I've done some...

    The Big Dating Apps Are Alienating Their Stakeholders

    HOT! 
    Also heard a similar opinion from a friend who is very experienced, to say the least ;) I think he was talking about OKCupid. He used to be killing it, and now he says, they should've done something in the last couple years so that he ended up abandoning it and just meeting women in real life...

    So I have this vision in my head for starting a Vo-tech school

    Sounds like a great idea. By the way, this is something I might personally pay for, at least for an in-person version. Can also be an offering for couples :) Free videos are usually too much trouble: it takes me a long time to figure out, how something is called. E.g. I had trouble opening a...

    18/19 year old with no sense of direction

    INTRO 
    According to Brian Tracy, for an average person who decides to be financially independent (=never have to work again), it takes them 18 years from the decision until they get there. So those who want it at 10 get there at 28. Some get there at 18, some at 38. I started thinking about it in my...

    Programmer looking for the best way to make money

    Compared to you being sued, a much greater chance is that nobody will be using your application. At least 1000 to 1, I would say. If things really take off, you will have enough time to find a lawyer.

    Is city life about to change forever?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    My apartment is in Midtown West. Everything is fine here. Restaurants have chairs outside, but in many ways it feels like normal. Not a ghost town at all; if anything, there are more people walking around in the middle of the day, probably because they have been laid off. If anyone is...

    $5,000 in Brian Tracy courses for free

    Come on, guys, don't pirate Brian Tracy's stuff. He is a fellow fastlaner and his content is amazing. I like his writing better than MJ's. If you are really poor, just get the book No Excuses and a used version of The Focal Point on eBay; the main ideas are the same as elsewhere.

    I'm the BEST copywriter I know, why isn't my messaging working?

    EXECUTION 
    My impression — I am not selling B2B but know people who do. Main problem: I have no clue what the offering is. Is it another source of data? Is it a tool to verify the correctness of the data? Is it a tool helping to search, such as a linkedin chrome plugin? Regarding #1: "Save time finding...

    An essay on money

    MINDSET 
    There are a lot of interesting ideas in the essay, and I have written many similar blog posts or emails in my life. The main downside is that there is no unifying theme or concept. Particularly the switch from the philosophical tone in the definitional part to the "First trap" appears abrupt...
