    Le'Veon Bell FU Money

    RANT 
    So how does an average Joe figure out that one trait/skill that gives us each crazy value? That’s where I get stuck. I have plenty of ideas, but don’t know if I have the skills to turn it into anything other than a casual hobby that makes 20k a year.

    Le'Veon Bell FU Money

    RANT 
    I think about the unscripted lifestyle more and more every day. It's something that has ingrained itself in my mind and it's constantly whispering to me that I need to break free of the hamster wheel we are stuck on. I know it's a pie in the sky goal, but I want Le'Veon Bell FU money. The guy...

    Buy vs Start your own

    MINDSET 
    I think this is the part that I'm hung up on. In this same example, what if you saw there were 10 different deodorants that didn't include ingredient X? Would you purchase all 10 and try each one individually? What if there were 20? At that point does that violate the "E" of CENTS because it...

    Buy vs Start your own

    MINDSET 
    After reading unscripted, I’ve been keeping a running list of problems I’ve seen in my day to day life (using trello). One thing I’m noticing is most of the problems I’m finding in my day to day life have already got some type of solution out there. Might be a service, or something to buy...

    GOLD! 
    I'm really glad I found this thread. Been using Trello for about 2 weeks now and it's changed my focus and productivity. The one issue I had on desktop was the long scroll to the right. However I found a Chrome plugin called "List Layouts for Trello" on the chrome store. Now I've got about...

    Lack of time?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    WOW! This thread is exactly what I needed. I found myself saying "I don't have time" this morning and then realized how much time I've wasted in the past couple of days. I'm close to taking action on my first venture but I'm still terrified of failing. I'm standing on the high dive at the...

    I wanna make so much money, that getting a face tattoo would not affect my life

    I guess I'm so out of the loop I don't even know what it means to "lowkey hit me up"

    The 3 Wealth Personalities, Which Is You?

    MINDSET 
    I am stuck in the slow lane behind a school bus and garbage truck right now! That first step is the hardest for me because my personality (i.e. I'm scared) and I want the first step to be the correct step. However you never know if it's the correct step until you've walked in the direction.

    Blue Collar Recession

    HOT! 
    This really rings true for me. I'm in the HVAC industry and we are desperate for people. I've even heard of other companies that allow their potential hires to "study" for 30 days before they have their drug test. And they still fail.... One question, do you have a business working with this...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Almost finished with Unscripted, and it basically mirrors a nagging feeling I've had for the past 5-6 years. I've read several of the "4 hour" type books, and I've been so frustrated seeing multiple "entrepreneurs" selling courses on how to be successful, and the only reason they are successful...

    Teaching Technology

    Thank you for the feedback. May I ask what type of technology you are teaching? Is it MS software (excel, word, etc) or is it the software that is developed internally and you are creating training videos? I don't want to start down the path of something that doesn't have the ability for me...

    Teaching Technology

    This is the struggle. I've been in the corporate world for about 10 years, in a "sales engineer" type role. It's the HVAC industry, and I see tons of people that don't even know the basics of word/excel/powerpoint. I understand that a lot of this could be learned online, but no one does. I...

    Teaching Technology

    Hey all, Pretty new user to the boards, and just blew through most of Unscripted. Definitely a book I'm going to read multiple times. I've had an idea that has nagged at me for a while, and would love some feedback. I enjoy teaching technology to people. Whether it's teaching my...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I've toyed with this one several times. I find myself always helping my parents, mother-in-law and brother-in-law with computer and phone issues. Three things always trip me up. 1) How would you charge? Is someone hiring you to go help someone else, or is the person in need hiring you? If...

    How would you actually get started in this though? You aren't going to plunk down $60k just to go out and get your first customer. There are plenty of farms near me and I hadn't even considered this.
