    Stop Getting Fat During Quarantine: The Easiest 30 Day Challenge

    HEALTH 
    Great thread and very important. Healthy body = healthy mind. After a few weeks of no exercise and eating everything I saw I started slipping. I'd gained a bit of fat and I knew that if this thing goes on for a few months then a lot of people will put on a lot of weight. All that time in front...

    Im an Ecom Site Broker: Is Investing in Ecom Stores Best Right now?

    INVESTING 
    I run an e-commerce marketing agency and we're now using our team to buy small stores, scale them up, and then sell them for much more in 6-12 months. Having an agency is great but it gets tiring managing people and relationships. When you get over a team of 10-15 it gets complicated. I'm happy...

    Hiring my first employee - Heavily overthinking it...

    PEOPLE 
    To answer this you need to start with thinking about what information you are trying to find. It's absolutely crucial that you hire for personality, attitude, and values. I actually prioritize these over skills/experience because I know that (depending on the job) good people can learn quickly...

    Hiring my first employee - Heavily overthinking it...

    PEOPLE 
    When I started, someone told me that my first 5 hires would be shit. It was basically spot on. My first 5 were terrible. Not because of them but because of me. They probably could have performed in another company (most of them) but not at ours. I learned quickly how to ask the right questions...

    How can I concentrate on my school?

    MINDSET 
    When you get that feeling of not being able to do the work, what do you do? Do you go on reddit, social media, porn, etc? Do you go play video games? Do you go find something to eat? Do you go try work on a business? I'm curious

    This landing page is converting like crazy and here's why

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Nice video but to me you've left out half of the story of the landing page: the traffic. 30% conversion rate is nice but I would have loved to have had some insight into the traffic being sent here. e.g. were these people that were clicking on a branded search term? were they searching for...

    MINDSET 
    CEO here of digital marketing agency for eCommerce clients. Managing a team of 10 team members. Sleep is massive for productivity and getting shit done. I recommend all spend some energy optimising their sleep because it pays off exponentially in the long run. I used to have trouble sleeping...

    Jordan Peterson - Self Authoring Course

    MINDSET 
    I completed his self-authoring course 3 years ago when I was broke, working a drone office job I hated and had no meaning in my life. I've since completed it 2 more times since then and every time I go back to re-do it, I see the work I had done in the journal from the last time. It's insane how...

    "Hustle House": What would you want living-wise as an entrepreneur?

    HOT! 
    I've done this with a bunch of good friends in Colombia. All pitched in for a wicked penthouse and had some great parties. Getting a chef, cleaner, all that stuff. The things we learned from each other during mastermind sessions was insane. You get brutally honest with your problems and you have...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    The first thing I'd say is good work reaching out for help here. That's the first step. Admitting you're in a terrible place... Now you can work on getting out of there. It's pretty hard to do it on your own. Here's what I would do: 1. Figure out your goal. You've talked about this in your post...

    Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    You're definitely right, and that's what I'm doing now. I'm scaling up my freelancing into an Agency to do what I'm doing now but for way more other businesses. Along with that I want to put my skills to use and have my own store. Why don't I just do my own store right now? Well, I'm definitely...

    Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    That's actually the plan but a key benefit of my agency is it's location independence. I've been travelling the world the last 14 months and don't plan to stop within the next 12. Though, putting my skills to work on my own business is definitely on my mind as a goal. It's just that it would tie...

    Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Because getting to $8k was basically a process over the last 6 months where I would do great work for a client for 2-3 months and ask for a referral, and repeat with the 1 or 2 clients they would give me. The problem is that it's not scalable, fast or predictable. I can continue doing this but...

    Hi there, creative entrepreneur

    INTRO 
    Interesting stuff. For your video production company, are you doing all the work or do you have a team below you? I've always been the creative type too. I've been freelancing PPC for a while now and just starting to hire/outsource now. I love the 'creative' side of things (the ad copy writing...
