    Dave Ramsey being asked how to get rich

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I think Dave's teachings are good to have a decent foundation on, but as everyone has stated, it's difficult to scale your wealth afterwards. It also depends on the kind of debt you have as well. I see it as a tool. If the debt doesn't lead to something greater, just kill it off.

    The Artist's Way

    EXECUTION 
    Following! I'm in a similar boat as well! I'm interested to see what you came up with! What are you improving with your art? Is it more skill or is it more business side? My experience is that there's an audience for everyone, so you can start selling originals off the bat if you position...

    How do I manage my Debt?

    Definitely read the, "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. As @James Klymus said, he is slowlane after you get debt-free, but the snowball method he uses is fantastic. I paid off my credit cards and I'm on my way to paying off my student loans very soon using the methods in the book as well as...

    What are the benefits of being single for an entrepreneur?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree with everything mentioned. Admittedly, as much as I want a relationship, I'm in no position to do so. I got tired of bending over backwards to appease someone that took my value, but gave me nothing in return. Sometimes it's lonely, but I'd rather be single than to get involved with...

    Building a Product Photography Portfolio

    EXECUTION 
    Hey guys, I hope that you're all doing well! Just swinging by for an update! Unfortunately, I did not make my $1,000 goal for August. I ended up getting a late start by the time I felt comfortable with the material I was studying. After submitting 8 proposals using the 'you' focus, I got my...

    9-5 VS Freelancing

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm attempting to start over from scratch with freelancing and I have an execution thread going into detail about it. As @Hidayat said, it is competitive when you're brand new, but there are tons of courses and threads on the forum to guide you in the right direction so you're not wasting time...

    Building a Product Photography Portfolio

    EXECUTION 
    I finished both proposal courses and sent out my first two proposals this week! I was so nervous, but it's done. No responses yet, it's only two days, but I'm still optimistic! I bought extra connects to be on the safe side. I'm more concerned about credibility markers when writing these...

    My 600lb Life: Addiction, Enabling, More (RANT)

    NOTABLE! 
    This. Every time I'm in the Mediterranean, I always lose at least 5lbs in 10 days I'm there. Everything is healthy and the portions aren't ridiculous. I have a love/hate relationship with the show. It's fun imitating Dr. Now and driving my family insane, but at the same time along with all the...

    MEETUPS 
    I'm more Central and Jersey Shore based, but I'm down for a meet up! I'm a photographer and artist myself, so there's a lot to work and play with

    Are you an ENTP and wonder why you can't get things done when working for yourself?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Great write-up! I'm an ENTP and definitely needed this. I was already using tips #4, #5, and #6 since the outbreak. I'm a work in progress, but this couldn't have come at a better time! Thank you!

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much!! Haha it's okay! To be honest, I'm about to binge on that course today after work! I've been putting it off because I didn't want an informational overload and then to forget about what I learned in 2 weeks. Lex's courses and FB group have been my foundation and reference...

    What's the best way to generate cash flow in my situation?

    MINDSET 
    This times a million. You can film anywhere. Semi-related, but I've been shooting product photography in a shoebox-sized room that is also my hot water heater room. Not ideal, but when there's a will, there's a way. As long as you have good light and clean background, you're fine. Editing will...

    Building a Product Photography Portfolio

    EXECUTION 
    The portfolio is done! I'm so happy. It's not perfect, but it's mine! This is the most ambitious thing I had ever done. It took longer than it should've because of the logistics of gear needed and a steep learning curve, but whatever, it's mine and it's done. I uploaded everything on Upwork...

    What time do you wake up at?

    MINDSET 
    I wake up at 4:30am on weekdays and 6:30am on weekends, sometimes earlier. Even though I go to bed earlier (9:30pm-10pm), I feel amazing. I get my workouts in and meditate before dropping my sister off to the bus for work, then I go out for my walk, make coffee, and get right to work...

    Building a Product Photography Portfolio

    EXECUTION 
    I just came home from a small vacation! This was already pre-planned before the outbreak, but it was nice to get my Mediterranean glow back and enjoy the beach! Prior to the last post, I finished another portfolio piece with the feedback I received from everyone via PM (thank you guys!) I just...

    How to find NEED in market

    I laughed way harder than I should've, but hey, there's a market. My mom blows through them like crazy in the summer. I guess my question is, are you trying to be a middle man or are you making your own pickle blend? If the latter, you can pitch to local grocery stores and build from there.

    Building a Product Photography Portfolio

    EXECUTION 
    A little late, but to my American friends, I hope you all had a great 4th of July! No major updates, but business in my regular work picked up for the weekend. In my state, we can have small parties, and I knew some people who usually go to portrait studios for their children, but because...

    From Starving Artist to Fastlane(ish)

    EXECUTION 
    Good for your wife on going this route! This is very inspiring. With art, if you're getting a demand that your wife is getting overwhelmed, it's time to jack up your prices. Otherwise what kind of system are you doing? Instagram followers are a mixed bag; you'll get a bunch of followers, but...

    Camera Solutions

    It looks super ambitious, but I'm curious to see what you can come up with. Is what you're doing have to do with speeding up the work flow between tethering/wifi?

    Mind your Language

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think I lost brain cells reading these. Once politics comes into play, whatever topic you're trying to support loses its value.
