    A Discussion With a 180M Entrepreneur (Part 2)

    MINDSET 
    There are some people walking around who you'd have no idea are ultra-successful entrepreneurs. Just a few days ago I was at a gym talking to somebody and later found out he is a billionaire who owns 100% of multiple manhattan skyscrapers. Just looked like a normal guy, working out at the same...

    Let's Talk About Entrepreneurial Depression

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I think this is a really underrated point. Being in a period of waiting, but feeling super anxious about non-productivity in that waiting period. For me, it's when I'm getting a product built and it's not saleable yet. I'm not the one building the product, someone else is.. After I provide...

    Exactly. Can I get real vulnerable here? I think people like us got lucky (I'll speak for myself) Instead of drugs, alcohol, weed, all of the bad stuff, my "coping mechanism" is books. I use them as a way to get into a flow state and feel good again when feeling entrepreneurial depression...

    First principles Breaking something down to what we absolutely know is true and then making our own decisions from there. Ex: Airplane is a flying car. But people think a flying car needs to look like a car, so they don't think flying cars exist yet. Point A to point B is the goal. How that...

    Contradictions. One person says one thing another (equally as successful person) says another. It was driving me nuts. You know what's funny? I caught myself as soon as I came to this realization: I started looking for blog articles and books about how to think for myself. Crazy, right? I...

    Important learning recently, credit to James Clear: You know how sometimes you feel like you won't be happy until you get that business successful, that girl, that car, whatever? This automatically puts success before happiness. But the reality is actually the reverse. Your happiness is the...

    Forecasting - A One Way Path To Unhappiness & Anxiety?

    MINDSET RANT 
    This thread is somewhat of a RANT. I think it's interesting conversation, but also something many of us may suffer with and attention should be bought to it. I was inspired to write this by a book called "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals" By Oliver Burkeman I found myself...

    Yes I made the fidelity account after reading Unscripted, it’s specifically for liquid Net worth and taxes. Should I have them in two pots? I won’t be touching the 70% that was put away in fidelity until taxes

    Not fastlane or anything, but I do real estate wholesaling on side. Sometimes we get deals that close in a big lump sum, today was one of those days . I just take 70% of this money, put it in a fidelity account, then use the rest for biz and life

    Thanks for responding! I think you're one of the best "sparring partners" on the forum, always willing to challenge and create interesting conversation Right, but is success really predictable like that? I'm assuming you've had businesses in the past before your current one where you thought...

    NOTE: This is purely just some philosophical thinking I do, because it's fun. This topic is a deep fascination of mine. In a world of thousands of business books, I think all of us in the apprenticeship phase of our career are trying to find answers to what to do. The question is, what is the...
