    Absolute best Nootropics (Smart Drugs) for boosting Motivation, Memory, Focus and Mood

    MINDSET 
    Guys, start with the lower hanging fruit first: Sleep, exercise, clean diet, hydration. If necessary, one or two 20-minute naps sprinkled throughout the day. Once those are in place just L-Theanine + Caffeine will suffice for 80% of people. Dirt cheap and very easy to get, too. There’s your...

    Thinking of starting a Supermarket/hypermarket chain. Good idea?

    IDEA 
    What will you do differently than other supermarkets? Beating them on price is out of question so I’m curious what is your idea?

    I'm a copywriter. Non-practicing.

    INTRO 
    I really crave structure and routine -- it's the sticking to the structure once it's established what I'm struggling with. Todo lists left unfinished, schedules quickly abandoned after first hint of trouble... hence my frustration and self-loathing. After reading all those productivity books...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Well Built Style is one resource I follow that consistently provides solid advice on how to look sharp by utilising classic, versatile pieces of clothing. The author argues that the timeless, classic look is superior to the flashy, balls-tight skinny jeans style you see on the streets nowadays...

    I'm a copywriter. Non-practicing.

    INTRO 
    Hi everyone! Finally got around to writing this post. It’s been a few years since my first intro, and I wish I had some noteworthy accomplishments to brag about since then. Nope. None that I can think of. Well okay, there are a few things I’m half-proud about: Powered through my final exams...

    Which Movies/Series/TV Shows Are You Watching?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As other posters said TV series tend to suck you right in if you're not careful, and I don't watch any right now. However, one of the shows I occasionally re-watch is Californication. Yes, it's raunchy and cheesy at times and seems like something your horny uncle would watch, but the dialogue...

    Finding Freelance Work

    MARKETING 
    You can also try cold emailing businesses. It will take you an afternoon or two to learn how to do it properly, but I promise it will be worth it. Just open a Google Sheet and go to where your ideal clients hang out. Tip: Try Facebook and LinkedIn groups, industry-specific forums, Angellist...

    FU Money by Dan Lok, must be MJ's twin brother

    HOT! 
    Dan Lok... I agree with the posters that said he gives off the typical BRO-marketer's vibe and mostly just regurgitates stuff. However there are some gems in among his videos that really made sense to me when I watched them. And I mean not in the origininality (or non-originality) of his...

    The Personal Development SCAM

    RANT 
    Most self-help books are published with the aim to breed info-junkies hungry for the next hack, shortcut, silver bullet. They are people looking for that instant fix that will change their lives at the snap of fingers -- like a deus ex machina appearing from the blue skies that finally makes...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Sometimes the most obvious things are what set us back the most. Note to self: Beware of Engel's law -- stay within your means as your income increases. Cash is still king. And right now, no car works better than a crappy car at my current standing in life. :)

    What is the best way to learn copywriting?

    @Miorin Since the 'best' way to learn copy is too broad a topic to discuss and there's plenty of great advice above from other members, I'll just share a few general (yet potentially game-changing) tips that work for me: Have a copy warm-up ritual. Every morning before I put down a single word...

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    Do you eat a lot of Omega 3's when on keto? I feel those really make a difference -- my mind is spinning with thoughts and fresh ideas when I eat a lot of mackerel and sardines. (Could be a placebo, but still.)

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    To people in this thread who have successfully transitioned from a high-carb, junk food diet to keto (and stayed on it for a significant period of time): Have you experienced any serious improvement in your cognitive abilities? As in, does it help clear up muddied thinking and brain fog? (I'm...

    INTRO 
    I'm a college student currently year and a half shy of graduation. My study is surveying and I'm afraid that it isn't the right path for me. Started freelancing as a copywriter last summer, so you could.add entry level copywriting to my list of skills. My copywriting journey came to a halt...

    Searching for My Entrance to the Fastlane While Driving down a Dirty, Beaten down Road

    INTRO 
    I'd rather you to check my IP, because I really don't like bashing my country in public. But I will say that it is a small country in SE Europe. And wow, I now realize how grim I made it sound to live here lol. I wrote the above from the perspective of a young college kid with no connections...
