    IDEA 
    When I started a lawn care company, it was because I just wanted to get my feet wet in business. I used some good ole fashioned pattern recognition and critical thinking and made it successful. Any business can win if you are not a moron. I moved down to Tampa and built a group of...

    "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a STUPID book

    I am going to change your life with 4 words.... but first... People are going to rush down below in the replies and argue. They will say "But I read this book and it totally worked!" But the ironic thing is I would never, ever, in a million years want to trade lives with these people. They...

    On the importance of laziness

    MINDSET 
    I’m writing this from my desk at 10:17am on a Tuesday. My desk is at home, 15 feet from the water overlooking Tampa bay. It’s 76, light breeze, the sun is making me squint a little but it’s not too humid. The 60 year old snowbirds walk by and ask if I’m visiting family. When I pull up...

    How do you REALLY get rich?

    EXECUTION 
    We all laugh and troll and don't give good answers because we work so hard and many still aren't rich, so it makes the people here feel better when they say "Ha! It's not that easy". If you act with purpose, attack each day, do not waste time going down useless paths, and apply yourself, you...

    One step to become more logical

    MINDSET 
    I’ve had many conversations with business owners, or in general people who have gotten stuck. Including myself. Every time you get stuck, the root of it is a belief. It’s not that you don’t know HOW to fix your problem. It’s that you should improve the way you think about your problems...

    Will you be ready for the opportunity?

    MINDSET 
    Right now, some things sound more attractive than others. It sounds good to eat pizza. It sounds good to relax and not work on the business. It sounds good to take the easy way out. But then something always happens. For the blind sheep they see no connection. But to the wise, they see it...

    The real reason to be your own video game character

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Smart people have a super-weakness of thinking they are unique. The truly narcissistic have this problem too, like me. BS beliefs: ** You don't follow proven methods because you're too good to copy others. Even if they're more successful, you think you're smarter. Nobody has the same...

    The only way to actually guarantee to lose weight

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Every diet can be cheated. Calorie restriction: you need to track calories accurately (you lie about everything). You can also be lazier and burn less calories and you can’t really track how much you burn. Keto/Carnivore/Vegan: limiting the type of food means nothing since you can just eat...
