Most Beneficial College Major to the Fastlane
Economics was great. Learning about capitalism: it's foundations, its constructs, it's lessons.... To me, it was the coolest thing; learning about money. I took entrepreneurship classes too, and that helped to complement my college ("business") education. Best of luck choosing though man...- Brian C.

What's your focus? Making pennies? Or Millions?
MINDSETAt 22, I funneled my efforts into financial literacy - namely securities. Read books such as the infamous "Intelligent Investor," and attempted to grow the little funds I had. While financial literacy is certainly advisable, it wasn't worth the resources I put into "achieving" it - except for...- Brian C.

Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich
HOT!Why Does Everyone Love Think and Grow Rich? Because most people want the shortcut to wealth. "Forget about the years of toil, trial & tribulations, action, and process. Just sit down, think, and you'll become rich." Simple thought leading to massive wealth arouses the imagination in all those...- Brian C.

Yes, another 'is it worth it to learn copywriting?' thread
MARKETINGOutsource the copy to me and sit back and enjoy your umbrella drink. Kidding aside, learning to effectively communicate with your market is arguably the most important facet of ANY business. If you're a great writer, understand advertising/marketing to a degree, and think you'll actually...- Brian C.

Remember, faux wealth destroys real wealth
HOT!This thread is for people who feel they are victims of their own predicament and choices? For these people, the relationship between consumption and production has vastly teetered in favor of consumption. They simply consume more than they produce. Throw in a little bit of financial illiteracy...- Brian C.

Remember, faux wealth destroys real wealth
HOT!It seems there is a bit of insecurity in this thread. Who the F*ck cares if he/she's decked out in designer goods and drives the nicest car? Seriously. You jealous? Envious? I absolutely love it. It tells me SO much about a person. It's how they identify themselves. What image they want to...- Brian C.

Back on track after first failure / How do you guys deal with failure
HOT! FTEI don't think a "failure" is a failure whatsoever. It's a word I never want to associate with myself. If something doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Simple. And as a bonus - you receive valuable data for your next attempt. Sport seasons aren't defined by one lost game. Nor is your...- Brian C.

Some wise words from Martin Shkreli
MINDSETA couple weeks back, he gave a speech at my brother's school. Very down to earth; even approachable. Martin Shkreli is victimized by the majority of media outlets. People without knowledge of the pharma industry are quick to point the finger and label Martin a villain. But he's come to revel in...- Brian C.

Changing my egotistical mindset
MINDSETBefore I started my entrepreneurial journey (I guess you could say), I decided to apprentice for a previous mentor - the owner of a small (10 total) restaurant chain. I learned how to run the books, marketing strategy, and management. But with that education, came hard work. I washed dishes...- Brian C.

Discussion -- Is offering copywriting services saturated?
MARKETINGSame could be said of the title of "entrepreneur." I've come to abhor the idea of "over-saturation" in markets. I think it's one of the best excuses to not take action - ever. The world is over-saturated with mediocrity. Industries are over-saturated with mediocrity. Copywriting is...- Brian C.

MARKETINGHmmm, this is a bit more indicative of my personal process, but I'll give it a shot. The majority of the websites I work on are minimalist - kind of like you mentioned.
