    So what do I do now? Where do I go after 4 years?

    FTE EXECUTION 
    I bet there are some copywriters swimming in cash by selling you a solution to your problem. i.e Brick and Mortar stores declining.. You could do that on the side too, you already have a story, evidence and experience, it's practically half done.. Just a thought.

    The Ultimate Guide On What Courses To Take

    Why are you targeting me with an ad? Besides wouldn't it make more sense to make a subscription newsletter with monthly / weekly emails for recurring income ? Maybe use the book as an entry level, put them in the funnel and upsell them a newsletter, courses, seminars etc. But again I don't...

    How to Make the Right Fastlane Decision in an Agony of Choices?

    Affiliates, online poker, dropshipping, ebay / amazon selling (you can buy stuff from local small industries and sell them online at a profit), freelancing, writing.. It depends on the time frame, how long do you have to set it up, 1 month, 2, 6? How many months can you live with the money you...

    Services vs Products

    You may be interested in Dan Kennedy, specifically on how he got out of this paradigm of being a copywriter into becoming a positioning master. He positioned himself as the most expensive authority in his niche. Created courses, newsletters, magazines, books, conventions etc. His copywriting is...

    Any ideas on how I can stop being a shitty person?

    HOT! IDEA PEOPLE 
    I was like this as a teenager, I just grew out of it.. Research has shown that hitting things, screaming etc just extend your anger, and the people that were instead told to focus on something else got calmer more easily. I recommend games, skyrim has always worked to channel my anger and focus...

    What are the Prospects for the Portugal Market?

    It's easier to identify them around where you live. But generally touristy areas with a lot of seasonal renting. Beaches, lakes, fishing spots, hunting grounds, festival areas, skying spots.. Generally the places where middle aged upper middle class people spend their weekends on.

    Siri Shortcuts, It’s App Store Effect, Taking/Stealing Opportunity?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Here's a simple idea for you. Make a timer app for people that do timed exercises on android. You know the kind that counts 60 secs, beeps, starts another 60 secs timer, repeats X times. Afaik there weren't any available till a few months ago.. Other than that try assuming things are going to...

    Can I criticize (or hate) a book I haven't read entirely?

    BOOKS 
    For us to get to a consensus we'd need to argue semantics.. But this time let's avoid arguing what a good or bad book means. What do you define by reading ? Does reading the 20% that represents 80% of the information count as having read a book? Or does only reading it cover to cover not...

    Atomic Habits, by James Clear (Review & Discussion)

    HOT! 
    I agree with you completely, I'd only rate it higher maybe a 4/5, from my experience this is good book compared to what else is around on the topic, maybe one of the best.. It's still full of filler and little unnecessary stories that add nothing and are just there so this can be sold as a book...

    Forex - The ultimate Fastlane (?)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Poker is better and safer if you want to follow this route.. Much higher control, the market, some politician or natural disaster won't make you lose money. Only your skill matters. You can actually make positive returns consistently because of the number of hands played and if you only play...

    From FIRE to DIRE...

    INVESTING 
    It's the "safer option" that ends up being the most unsafe in the end. It's much more pleasing for an average white collar worker to hear: "Save money and you can retire early. Here's a step by step guide." than "Every professional life choice you've made so far was bad, but don't worry, if...

    How can someone work every waking hour???

    HOT! 
    Trading hours for money is a bad idea, you want to disconnect both as soon as you can. PS. Elon Musk probably counts exercise, eating lunch, reading books, grooming, and commute as work. Don't get me wrong I love the guy, but the definition of work is pretty vague and can mean anything from...

    GET TO COLLEGE! (Because I failed at business.)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Mark Cuban is a Billionaire, with a B, he's not representative or somebody you should compare yourself to at all.. On your other points, dude there's plenty of money to be made in small businesses, but you seem to only be interested or looking at the outliers. That's a bad idea, most...

    Introverts vs Extroverts (The forum is mostly introverts?)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The big 5 is technically the only scientific personality system.. It can make predictions, but those are scientific predictions like people that are high on conscientiousness tend to make more money. But that's on average, measuring average people, not outliers like millionaires and the like...

    Cannabis biz started 2 years ago, sold $7M!

    They didn't buy it for income.. They bought it for the expected ROI and growth. Also probably didn't just give him 7kk, probably a million or two in cash, a couple million on shares and the rest hostage for 2-5 years if the guy can comply with their contractual agreements on expected growth...

    Website Feedback - Dog Related

    NOTABLE! 
    My main worry here is what is your margin, and what's your max cpc and cps. Selling things in a low price range like shirts, is quite difficult to make profitable if you have to pay ads to do it. Other than that, try having breed targeted ads using facebook pages as filters. i.e Find a...

    Is 'Highly-educated' the best investment for the rest of your life?

    INTRO 
    If I could go back I probably would have gotten an electrical engineering degree not as a safety measure but just as a thing that interests me. Yeah I can learn it by myself, but having a pre made program I can make use of for free would have been convenient. I could have gotten a full...

    A Conversation about death...

    HEALTH 
    IMHO if you're under 40 you are unlikely to die of old age. If you are older, and take good care of your health that's also unlikely to happen. We are close to figuring out life extension and many other things. We're all technically going to die at some point though, even if we upload our...

    Successful AdWords guy interested in creating Lead Gen properties - a few questions though...

    You guys made me realise this was a lot simpler than I thought. I considered this, but thought about how hard it would be to count the leads and to have ways of measuring it properly to charge on a per lead basis. This monthly 'program' is much simpler and easier to run. Thank you. This was...

    Instagram Management: Cold Call my way to 100 clients

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    Is your pitch making it sound like they will get much more value than it will cost them ? That classical, if this gets you only X client per month, it already pays for itself. And if you take the lifetime value of a client it's basically infinite returns. If that's not in your pitch try...
