    Should I learn copywriting or programming?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I get what you are saying. But: copy is not about the writing. Maybe we mean different things. When I say copy, I mean direct response. Take a product and a market, and make things happen. Yes, AI can competently generate new text. What it cannot do is understand people, come up with new...

    Should I learn copywriting or programming?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Disagree on this one Lex. This is my perspective as someone who is reasonably good at both skills and used/uses them both to do biz. Sorry if I write weird things, I'm pretty hungover. In no particular order, and as they come to mind: Becoming proficient at copy is much easier/faster than...

    What habit changed your life?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I got a good one for this. I am naturally lazy and really struggle to focus. I used to get nothing done. If you are the kind of person who struggles with productivity, and you'd like to become super productive... Take a sheet of paper (or build it out in a word processor and print it). Create...

    Are direct sales skills necessary for entrepreneurial success?

    MARKETING 
    You don't need to reiterate the tactic. I agreed that it is a good tactic. Here's the problem that I have with your position: You are still rationalizing why they don't buy. Who cares? Why does it matter? Because you still have a negative emotional association with the fact that they don't buy...

    Are direct sales skills necessary for entrepreneurial success?

    MARKETING 
    I'm not sure I get what you mean by contradicting myself. I don't know what you are referring to when you say "celebrating failure" and "celebrating success". It seems you are implying I said both things? Anyway, to answer your point. You are not removing the fear, you are reinforcing a trick...

    Are direct sales skills necessary for entrepreneurial success?

    MARKETING 
    Yes and no. Those are fine tactics. But they are tactics. I am suggesting you follow the tactics but also go deeper than that. Again, feedback loops, mental programs. A thought generates a behavior. A behavior reinforces a thought. By these tactics, you adopt a behavior. The behavior...

    16 years old enterpreneur losing motivation.

    RANT 
    God the advice in this thread. My God. @Runjie Chen, first off, motivation is for weak. If you need motivation, you will never make it. Remove that word from your vocabulary. Second, you don't have an offer. So you know how to make websites? Big F*cking whoop. That's a skill. Not an offer...

    Are direct sales skills necessary for entrepreneurial success?

    MARKETING 
    You're welcome. I just wanted to chime in again about something that I've been reading in this thread. I see the thread is devolving in platitudes and motivation. Some users are talking about "reframing" rejection as "eliminating bad prospects". Which is a fine thing. And it works. It's...

    Are direct sales skills necessary for entrepreneurial success?

    MARKETING 
    In a word, yes. Are there people who made it without it? Possibly. But exceptions don't invalidate general rules. I don't think it's ridiculous at all. Honestly, I used to be the same way. Fact is, I have a hard time pinpointing what exactly changed things for me. But - it wasn't just...

    IDEA 
    Mmh. You are selling market research as a service, and you need us to tell you the obvious? Create an authority niche site that sells niche sites. Come on. You can add a course. A niche site course plus a skeleton niche site like what you are talking about recently went on sale for a...

    The Official Robert Greene Thread

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I didn't say the advice cannot be applied to real life. I said his books are entertainment. I also definitely did not say I am an authority on how to get into a "power position", whatever that is. For a forum focused on business, there is more to learn from the spell his books create on their...

    The Official Robert Greene Thread

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Because he is an entertainer who sells books for normies who want to feel powerful, not a genius at manipulation. Greene's books are 50 Shades of Gray for wannabes.

    Is drop shipping a profitable business ?

    HOT! 
    Why not invent a cure for cancer? Imagine how much money you will make then. I don't mean to get into an argument here, but if someone asks if dropshipping can be profitable, they are clearly beginners. How are they supposed to take on manufacturing of a new product? How is that realistic? And...

    Question About Web-Based Businesses

    Of course. As for every doom and gloom craze in the history of mankind, this net neutrality thing has been way overblown. Frankly, if you are having these doubts the most likely reason is that your brain is coming up with reasons and excuses not to do the work - ignore it. You are learning the...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    About people complaining about not having time for the gym: About OP's simple formula for fitness: Simple is not a synonym of easy. The difficulty of health is not in complexity, it's in the fact that it's hard to do.

    Interview Questions to Hire for Character

    PEOPLE 
    This is a pretty good resource that I will definitely try. It works as a filter for stupidity, too - I have been a freelancer for a long time and I would nail all these questions because the spirit behind them is really transparent. If you fail them, you are not a genius.

    Does wealth require you to become ruthless?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    That's not being ruthless. You were a manager. A manager manages people. If people are dicks, they need to be treated as such. 'Ruthless' is one of those words online business badasses really love to spew. You gotta be ruthless! Ruthlessly honest, ruthlessly do what needs to be done. Ruthless...

    Amazon is ruthless...

    Why wouldn't they? It's their platform. If they didn't give relevance to their own products it would just be plain dumb. As a side note, as a consumer, I welcome this. When I buy Amazon I know I'll get top notch product and service. That kind of trust is hard to beat. Which would be the...
