    Can I quit? Is quitting ever ok?

    MINDSET 
    I think it depends on what level you are talking, Angela Duckworth's book 'Grit' has a good diagram of it, say there are 3 levels to your goals where 3 is the large goal, 2 is the middle goal, and 1 is the smallest goal. For example: Level 3 = Never need to work again by owning $1B+ in cash...

    The matrix is real - Neuralink Presentation - What types of business will form around this new technology?

    IDEA 
    The Matrix XD But I think this could have some big applications for people in old folks homes, they'd get some better experiences, and possibly more independence if this was linked to some sort of robo exoskeleton.

    STOP Cheating Yourself and Earn What You're Worth!

    GOLD! HOT! NEWSLETTER 
    Such a foundational point, I believe every business is roughly the same effort regardless of the size, there will always end up being too much to do and hiring the right people whether it is for painting houses or building the latest technology will be just as difficult, but the payoffs are...

    Never worry about the big players

    MINDSET 
    I second this, I currently work for a large company, and due to the sheer size it is difficult to move quickly to serve customers as their needs change. A small, nimble player would have a good chance at competing because of this.

    where do i find a mentor?

    PEOPLE QUESTION 
    Do you know of anyone that is succeeding or has succeeded in the way you want to succeed? For example if you know you want to go into real estate that helps to narrow down the people that would make a good mentor (ie. you wouldn’t try finding someone selling beauty products even if they were...

    How to identify the need in the market?

    INTRO 
    It sounds like you already started your business, if you have customers already I’d start by talking to them and asking them about their pain points, then I’d see if I could come up with a solution for them with the resources I currently have.

    Alex Hormozi. What is your opinion? Mine is (mostly) negative.

    GURUS 
    Closest thing I found: Alex Hormozi's $46M exit, Gym Launch Since it was a sale of a private company I doubt you’d be able to get your hands on any legal document stating that he in fact sold his company for X dollars.

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Maybe the shorter post got more engagement because it doesn’t take as much time for folks to read, I know whenever I go on LinkedIn there it seems like essays in some people’s posts, I might read the first few words to see if it is interesting, but a shorter post is much easier to digest.

    How is Adam Neumann able to do that?

    PEOPLE 
    This documentary shows a little bit about how he would do multiple takes on camera or spend hours rehearsing what he'd say to someone (typically an investor) he is trying to sell. It mainly comes down to deliberate practice, and preparation, the guy put most of his energy in the ability to sell...

    Managing Your Expectations Is Everything! Expectations.. An Integral Piece To Your First Million In Sales.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I really like the post, focusing on little wins definitely resonated with me. It is too easy to have high expectations due to wishful thinking in the beginning, and be disappointed when it doesn't work out how you initially thought it would.

    Scammers, schemers, and investment fraudsters...

    INVESTING CHAT 
    Oh man I bet a ton of them over the next year will involve crypto, the numbers are staggering. Africrypt turns sour on investors: Founders flee as court cases build up I did't see this one on the SEC website (maybe because it originated in South Africa) but in 2021 it was purportedly managing...

    Creating My Own Death Watch!

    MINDSET 
    I did something similar, and that's what I found. Instead I looked at what age your risk of cancer substantially increases, which happens to be age 50, so I set the timer for that instead. It is a little more tangible because the whole point is to utilize your good years, you might live to 82...
