    Basic cybersecurity for a new website?

    Thanks @GravyBoat - web security has been part of my analysis paralysis in even starting this venture so I couldn't agree more. The website is up - I'm just constantly fretting. That said, I do have a back-up.

    Basic cybersecurity for a new website?

    This is excellent - thanks @rogue synthetic I purchased privacy from day one when I bought the domain, so it sounds like that helps. Would using my Verizon hot-spot help? I feel stuck. To keep the site/server secure I've added only my IP to the firewall, and yet it sounds like that actually...

    Basic cybersecurity for a new website?

    Thanks 404. Yes - I do have SSL for the website, although mostly because I understand that Chrome users would all get warnings and my domain name would be highlighted in red without it. It was an upfront recommendation from the builder, so I guess that's a good sign.

    How are you dealing with HATERS?

    RANT 
    I'm launching a website this week on a topic where people have, uh, strong opinions. So I'll let you know shortly how that goes because the haters will eventually find me. That said, I think it's important to look at most reviews/comments/responses. In most jokes there is some truth, so maybe...

    Basic cybersecurity for a new website?

    I'm (finally) launching my website this week and in an effort to focus on my strengths, I outsourced the web design so I could focus on content. I'll do a crash-course with the firm on running the site (Wordpress), but can anyone tell me where to begin with good cyber security? I've got the...

    34/m..running out of time.. intro and business idea. seeking feedback

    IDEA 
    You'll never have more time than you do today. Like you, I thought when 'X' happens (wife finishes school, move to a different town, kids go to school) I'd have more time. But much like your salary, there's always more demands on it. I do hope you end-up with more time on your hands when your...

    The horsepower of your decisions - Connor McGregor charged with assault and criminal mischief

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Any criminal activity is a BIG problem when you're not a US citizen. Multiple convictions or a 5+ year sentence could mean he's technically "inadmissible". If you're not a citizen of a country but rely on easy entry to that country for work, be very careful.

    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    @MJ DeMarco - I have to say that your "equation" presentation really made everything click. All the threads I've read, both books - the equation discussion crystallized all of it. My most important change since the summit has been my lifestyle. I thought I was squared-away before, but in...

    How do you deal with the "rainy days".

    When I get in a foul mood or am just feeling down, I try to step WAY back and realize just how ridiculously amazing my life is. Running water. Food in the fridge. A loving family. My pooch. I don't recall where I heard/read this, but this guy is out at night freezing his a$$ off in the cold...

    Is Tony Robbins book MONEY Master the Game worth the read?

    HOT! 
    I HIGHLY recommend anything by Jack Bogle. Start with "Enough" and then read "The Bogleheads Guide to Investing". Solid advice abounds.

    Create Business Entity (LLC etc) before starting sell on Amazon?

    I can't speak to Amazon's requirements, but you can get an EIN number as a sole proprietor (i.e., just you doing business as you - no LLC, S-corp., etc.). To your question, being a sole proprietor is very much a "legal business entity" and most of it actually revolves around any State/local...

    Have you ever been fired? Share your story

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Never been fired, but I did fire someone years ago and only after did I realize it's because I failed her as a manager. I do believe in (her) personal responsibility, but I know there was more I could have done. Instead it was easier to let the person go than take a hard look in the mirror and...

    "Put Down The FN Donuts!" (A Journey of Getting Healthy)

    EXECUTION 
    What's the word @Chitown ? Was about to crush a massive sandwich and chips after shoveling 18" of snow. Decided instead to put the chicken on a salad and crack open a seltzer. Once I made is past that first little decision, I felt great. And isn't that what it's all about? Lots of little...

    Amazon FBA - Shipping Tubes?

    Thanks @Hyrum. I also realized that my costs shipping TO amazon would also be high because the box would be large with lots of potential for wasted space. And the weight of the tubes adds-up fast. Might try a paper box of some kind.

    Amazon FBA - Shipping Tubes?

    Hey guys - I have a product bundle in mind that would ship best in a clear plastic tube. I didn't see anything in the FBA calculator to indicate this would be treated differently for storage or shipping (except for large poster-size tubes, which this is not). Anyone have familiarity with...

    "Put Down The FN Donuts!" (A Journey of Getting Healthy)

    EXECUTION 
    It was important for me to realize that healthy choices don't need to be painful - it may just take being more deliberate about your meals. Breakfast today is a western omelet using Egg Beaters with all the normal veggies plus turkey sausage. Went heavy on the veggies to get lots of volume...

    "Put Down The FN Donuts!" (A Journey of Getting Healthy)

    EXECUTION 
    It's embarrassing to say, but between @Raoul Duke, me, and @Chitown we probably have a collective 200lbs to lose. I could lose 80 lbs myself. Imagine waking-up and putting-on an 80 lb pack every day, all day. Imagine how nice it would be to not do that!? And it's more than just the weight...
