    If I was your son, what advice or direction would you give me?

    INTRO 
    The most important things I could teach my son would be the things that go against mainstream advice. Some things that come to mind: Happiness is the target of losers who want to coast through life. Impatience is a virtue. So is arrogance. It's better to be clever than smart. Social...

    Monogamy. The idea of loving only one woman all your life?

    IDEA 
    I don't have a horse in this race. I tried long term monogamous relationships, they're not for me, at least for the foreseeable future. But I understand the appeal. To each his own. That said, this "without her I would not be where I am" is frankly a disempowering belief and a bit sad too...

    Cold Calling vs Cold Emailing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    So, to clarify. You have started a digital marketing agency. You have doubts on how to find clients. Which is the whole value proposition of a marketing operation. Correct? Exactly. But not just that. Do cold emails, and calls, and organic, and funnels. Do them all. Why? Because they're...

    Deep Analysis Of Instagram (you will delete it after reading this... hopefully)

    MINDSET FTE SOCIAL MEDIA 
    This board is supposed to be a board of producers. In this thread, people are complaining like consumers. I use Instagram. I use Facebook. I use them as promotional tools. When people check out my Facebook after I post a comment somewhere, they see value. This brings me opportunities. When...

    Ethical branding materials or books?

    MARKETING 
    What's ethical about it? What's unethical about the other way? It's simply different messaging for different markets. There is no difference. It's all copy. Written by the same guys and gals. You find this message more appealing because you are the target market this time.

    A Business Burned $60,000 on a Poor Website. Should I Try Help Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Yikes. No, I'm sorry, but no. This is business. It's transactional. It needs to be transactional. Go there, solve the problem, get paid commensurately to the problem you solved. You know the website was worth 60k to them. How much is fixing this mess worth? What's it gonna take? You...

    Advice on How to Value and Negotiate for a Unique Domain Name

    Jesus no. Offer him much less. Stop procrastinating. Shoot him a message with a lowball offer. If you found him on social media, then you know his general socioeconomic status. Is $100 "money" to him? Then offer $100. $500? Go lowball but not so much to be outright insulting. The offer is...

    Apple is too expensive for me

    Meanwhile, I bought a Motorola G3 for less than $200 in 2016 and it still works flawlessly. Didn't even need to change the battery once. I think it's my second smartphone ever. Technology exists to solve a problem. If it solves the problem, it's good enough. Hopefully. You can do that now if...

    Never Split The Difference, by Chris Voss

    HOT! 
    Read this a few years ago, on my list to reread. I remember it being extremely good, with many tips and ideas I have successfully used in my life. One thing I remember clearly is this: instead of saying no, put the burden on your counterpart to argue against themselves, asking something like...

    Going after big problems vs building realistic, profitable solutions

    FTE 
    I hate this idea of copying business models. Solve deep-running problems instead. The business model comes from the solution.

    Going after big problems vs building realistic, profitable solutions

    FTE 
    @ZF Lee: That's why I said profitable big problems. ;) The UK is the 5th biggest economy in the world, the most business-friendly country in Western Europe, and you can serve the US as well easily.

    Going after big problems vs building realistic, profitable solutions

    FTE 
    Profitable big problems first, world-changing big problems later. When you have the leverage you need to do it right. Is that a good position to be in? Might it be that the people who encourage you to "pursue big problems" are in the business of providing venture capital? Yes, 100%. Then...
