My introduction
INTROWelcome and great intro! I'm surprised nobody responded after the first post. Sorry to hear about how your recent business didn't achieve the success that you wanted. You must be gutted to think about that. Any lessons learned that would be valuable for others? What are your next steps?- Bekit

Is This for Me?
INTROWelcome to the forum! You're a great writer and I am excited to see what you'll do! Sounds like both of your grandfathers would be proud to see you following in their footsteps. Are there any other relatives (e.g. siblings of your grandfathers) who might be able to tell you stories of how they...- Bekit

HOT! CHATI use it to reinforce in my mind the fact that I made a good decision to use the Ignore feature. Discussions like these help me not to second-guess myself and get tempted to give an ignored user another chance. Nope! I see nothing has changed. It's only with certain people, and they are a vast...- Bekit

Which job sounds better for a Fastlane long-game?
HOT! FEEDBACKCongrats! I support your decision even though it's the opposite of what I argued for. I can see the logic in other people's responses in this thread. Would you be willing to come back to this thread later and update us on how things turned out? After you've had a chance to work in the...- Bekit

Which job sounds better for a Fastlane long-game?
HOT! FEEDBACKI'm going to vote for the customer service position. Yeah it doesn't pay as much. But it's 4 days a week that don't tire you, plus they give you transport cost. Job 2 sounds like a walking red flag with the "No 9h - 17h mentality please" - so that likely means that you're going to be working...- Bekit

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHAT@MJ DeMarco I'm curious to know how the new forum change affects what Google sees - are threads still crawlable like they used to be if they are not on the inside or the speedway? Also - I think with this new change (kind of as a note to self but also a suggestion), we should all be extra...- Bekit

A Little Challenge: Selling an Old Wooden Piano for More Than "FREE"
MARKETINGCopywriting tips for your ad: >" It has no major defects, but three keys in the middle register make small/quiet mechanical noises when struck. " This detail in your second sentence stopped my brain from wondering, "Is this a nice piano?" and switched me into "Nope, bummer, never mind" mode...- Bekit

HIV Cure: Any hope in the whole world? Does TFF have anything to share?
HOT! HEALTHI'm rooting for you @BlackMagician! Not a joke. I was first introduced to this stuff in 2012-2013 when I spent some time overseas and contracted malaria. I had already gone through the ordinary pharmaceutical treatment and my liver and kidneys were still in BAD shape (my liver was very enlarged...- Bekit

Handmade - handyman`s progress thread
EXECUTIONI have a friend who custom-built something like this. He has a few house plants on the system. A sensor in the soil tells the system when to water each plant. The plants have different water needs (e.g. one is a cactus and one is a strawberry so they need a different amount of moisture). It's...- Bekit

I desperately need help
HOT! MINDSETSorry you are going through this. That's a painful and rough situation. Congrats on the business success so far though! Here's one thought to chew on. The difference between hating yourself and not hating yourself is in your mind. YOU will be the same person either way. It doesn't come...- Bekit

Ready to go from dentist to entrepreneur
INTROWelcome to the forum, and congrats on the journey so far. Becoming a dentist must have been a huge challenge. Way to go! I'm curious if you can take small steps on your business idea even now before your dissertation is done. How much work is left to go before that will be finished? All...- Bekit

HOT! CHATSorry for your loss, @Timmy C . My grandmother is dying and I flew from Colorado to Virginia to see her before she dies. Like you said, it's hard to see her in this condition, but I knew I would regret NOT seeing her. I learned that some of my cousins have not gone to see her even through they...- Bekit

Arthritis Pain (Business opportunities, pain management, reducing symptoms, whatever you like)
CHAT HEALTHWhat product is that? Or do you mix it up yourself? I don't have a diagnosis, but I've been experiencing joint pain that has gotten increasingly bad over the years. 10 years ago I suffered with pain in my ankles and knees after taking a 17-mile hike on sand. These days, I suffer a similar...- Bekit

10 years here. Curious what had the most impact on you
HOT! FEEDBACKThe first thing that came to my mind was how you scheduled a call with me right when I was brand-new to the forum. It really blew my mind that you'd spend time on a stranger like me. That call was really encouraging to me at a time when I was really insecure about taking steps forward into...- Bekit

Not that it wouldn't be interesting to have a progress thread by Dean - but I totally respect your reasoning about not wanting one. My thought...- Bekit

How to use MJ (The "G") To Build An Audience (Twitter Edition)
MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIAAn exact figure monthly.... I bet that's pulled out of thin air, too. Using an exact monetary amount (especially of an oddly-specific number, like 13k as opposed to 10k) is a tried and true copywriting tactic used to increase conversions. The neat thing about it is that you don't have to...- Bekit
