    What do you do if you find a need but don't know how to fix it?

    In my industry I've seen a glaring need for a specific type of software solution. I searched all over the internet/reddit/forums for a solution, and even called some friends at other companies that have a similar group to mine. Most of the response is "we just figure it out in excel, it's not...

    The Great Rat-Race Escape by MJ DeMarco, Now Available (All formats!)

    HOT! 
    How do these read in Kindle format? I had unscripted in paperback and really liked being able to dog ear sections and highlight what I want. I've never had a book I would reference like this in kindle format. Always been a 1 and done with digital books.

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    With the massive surge of crypto, what are some opportunities to "sell shovels to the gold rush miners"? What types of businesses will pop up around crypto?

    I've never seen this website, interesting. I wonder if anyone on here has bought land/homes through this.

    How do Third Party Companies Purchase Digital Products at Discounts?

    I'm curious how companies such as cdkeys.com can purchase things at such a low discount and resell them for a profit? For those that don't know, cdkeys is a site that you can purchase the digital code (aka cd key is what they were called 15 years ago) for platforms such as PS4, PC, Xbox, etc...

    Is it worth learning about Crypto at this point or is it too late? Of course everyone hears about the millionaires from people that bought certain ones at $0.0001 and got a massive return, but is the market being flooded with too many options? Are there any good reading materials to possibly...

    Yet again I wish I would have learned general household maintenance or lite construction work projects. Had a handyman that was supposed to come by on Saturday to frame and wall over an existing door in my house. Said he'd be here at 9am. He called at 9:30 and said something had come up and...

    The Weirdest Business Model (worth copying)

    HOT! 
    Just saw a few items in one of the articles: "The unusual nature of Mr Edgar's job has caught the eye of the entertainment industry and he has signed a deal for it to be made into a movie or drama series." "When priests and funeral directors have tried to prevent Mr Edgar from delivering his...

    Sounds like it's something that would be impossible to get into as a side hustle. I already struggle enough dealing with my 50+ hour a week job to find time to do anything else.

    Reddit r/WSB bankrupts Hedge Fund using Robinhood

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I've been reading a lot about all of this lately because I find it fascinating. Most of the people on that subreddit have determined that news outlets are falsely reporting that "Reddit is now looking at _____" to try and scare people into selling GME. Most of the posts on that sub claiming...

    Were you able to find the videos? Did he rent the equipment every time he had a job? Or did he outright purchase it before he even began?

    Reddit r/WSB bankrupts Hedge Fund using Robinhood

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Reminds me of when the wrong ZOOM stock took off early last year because people thought they were investing in the video meeting software but it was actually some old Chinese company that dealt with wireless communication products.

    Where's the time to start something?

    RANT 
    It would be 5-7 years down the road. The biggest issue is that I'm stuck in this "temporary" role, with no change to transition until at least 2022. And then at that point, it is a completely new position that they expect me to build. Building a client base and getting big projects moving...

    Sorry for the delay in responding, on top of everything else we had to move out of our house for 1.5 weeks while our floors were being redone due to a water heater leak. And thanks for all the birthday wishes! My job is currently 8 minutes from the house. It's extremely old school so they...

    How could I learn to program a site like Draw.io? Well, formally draw.io, it was purchased and is now Flowchart Maker & Online Diagram Software. Or is that something that it would be more worthwhile to try and hire a developer to do? I'm looking for that drag and drop functionality with a...

    I get so mad at myself every day at how tired at I am night. I've been getting up at 4:30 so I can exercise and try and be heathier. Then I get the kids ready and am off to work by 7:30. I don't leave work until around 6, then get home and spend time with family until they are asleep around...

    If you were already well versed in Sales, Marketing and Customer Service but had no other marketable skills, what would you focus on? Is it worth learning a new skill? Or would you find an existing person without that sales ability and attempt to partner with them? I had someone ask me the...
