    Socialism For The Rich; Capitalism For The Poor

    In first 20 seconds the video describes "Finland and Sweden" as a "gray area". They aren't. Social democracies are fundamentally rooted in capitalism. The video continues throwing at you example after example in order to create a narrative without stating it. And it's just as garbage as it...

    StoryBrand. 10k for this certification?

    Exactly. It's just copywriting basics repackaged to take advantage of a shift in the sophistication of the market. In fact, as a copywriter, you can take more lessons from their positioning than from their "method".

    20 years old, planning to quit uni and move to Thailand to work on business

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Why would you drop out and move halfway around the world when your business is not even a business yet? How is that remotely a smart move? Is it? Then why don't you scale it instead of thinking about Thailand?

    Should I buy a house?

    MINDSET 
    Here's something you should consider. Buying this house will get around 220k in equity stuck into it, plus reduce your cash flow month to month. Is there a scenario where this bites you in the a$$? What business are you running? What are the numbers on that? Is there a scenario where the...

    About that, I heard good things about Annie Duke's book Thinking in Bets. I haven't read it yet though.

    Starting a writing career... I guess

    EXECUTION 
    Glad to help. Yes, by all means. Go read the book and achieve clarity on how this whole thing works. One thing to keep in mind: business and skills are different things. But a skill is always a powerful asset. To connect to what you say above, skills are tools you can use to solve problems...

    Starting a writing career... I guess

    EXECUTION 
    People, if you want to be a writer, if you want to develop the skill of writing... This shit is not going to cut it. 25 words a MINUTE is the bare minimum. That's 125 words in 5 minutes. 250 words in 10 minutes. 500 words in 20 minutes. 1500 words in an hour. Now, I get it. "I procrastinate...

    Inversion is one of my top analytical tools. If you want to achieve X, one of the first things I do is ask: What things could I do to ensure that I do NOT reach X? This allows me to see mistakes that might be otherwise hidden. Other analytical tools you don't want to sleep on: SWOT...

    One thing all successful entrepreneurs seem to have in common

    MINDSET 
    Do you know what self-awareness is? Do you know why the most successful entrepreneurs share "this sense of reality"? **Drumroll** Because they're smart. Self-awareness is just pattern recognition working on your own mind/life. In other words, it's a product of raw intelligence (and the...

    Guilty conscience when not working on business – what to do

    MINDSET 
    Estimate how long something takes and schedule based on that. When you end up being wrong, you learn from it. Try to keep the list small. Ideally, you want three tasks at most. Don't overthink it, you'll learn what works for you as you do.

    Guilty conscience when not working on business – what to do

    MINDSET 
    This isn't a bad thing. It's a great thing. It's much worse when it's the other way around. You just need to channel it correctly. Set a schedule, keep it. Set a list of X tasks for the day, and once it's finished, you're done. If you work more than the schedule says, you should feel bad...

    Nah, as every "rule of success" this too is bullshit. I know self-made millionaires who couldn't recognize themselves in a mirror out of sheer lack of self-awareness. Yes, yes, everything is your fault. Yes, yes, self-awareness helps. Yes, yes, reality is perception. At the end of the day...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    No direct experience with SquareSpace myself, but generally speaking customers who need simple sites don't care and it's a good solution as long as it looks good. Plenty of other options too (Wix the first that comes to mind).

    Hell yes. But don't have the client buy their own hosting. Don't be the guy who says "I don't do that". Be useful instead. Solve the problem for them. Explain to them that they should own the hosting so they are independent from you. But buy for them. "I know the right option, and I know it's...

    Is Copywriting Dying? - The ClickBait Is A Real Danger

    MARKETING 
    Good answer. Also in my experience, people say that. What they mean is that they think they don't trust marketing messages when they are not the target market. Then the right message comes and they lap it right up. How many people do you hear saying TV ads are stupid and don't work? To...

    Is Copywriting Dying? - The ClickBait Is A Real Danger

    No. Just no. Nah. You're mistaking your perspective for everyone else's. Do you? Because from your post I'd say you don't. Really? What an upsetting news! This is marketing 101. It's nothing new, it's literally the job of a copywriter to deal with it. And has been known and dealt with by...
