    Gullible MLM junkies. SOS

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    There's a coffee shop I work at fairly regularly and there is always someone there having a "meeting" trying to get someone to join their mlm. I feel so sorry for these people as I can see them getting genuinely excited during the sales pitch. I'm seriously thinking about getting business...

    Are You Still Sleeping?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I woke up early New Years day and sent out a few hundred "Happy New Year" emails to prospects of varying warmth. One response back yesterday and two more this morning. Three responses out of a few hundred might now sound like much, but each new client is potentially worth 5 figures over the...

    Are You Still Sleeping?

    I just saw this post so what did I do? I sat down and wrote and sent a proposal that I had been planning on sending first thing Friday morning. Thanks Vigilante for the kick in the pants, MJ for giving us this place to gather, and everyone else for making the forum what it is.

    I'm just across the border to the South. It seems like half of Calgary is here every weekend. Drop me a line if either of you are ever out this way.

    How do grades affect your life

    HOT! 
    Why not give it your best? How about the law of diminishing returns. Once you've reached good enough (how ever you define that) what benefit do you get from the extra time invested. Can you say opportunity cost? When I was in college I would decide on the grade I wanted in the class. I...

    Is anyone in Athens, either traveling or living here? I will be here for the next month or so and don't know too many people except family.

    How do grades affect your life

    HOT! 
    Education is incredibly important, but that doesn't have to be a formal education. Can you learn things in college? Of course. Is that necessarily the most efficient place to learn? Probably not. To answer your original question, I'll ask two of my own. Has anyone ever seen my college...

    Making 100k Per Year: Easy or Difficult?

    HOT! 
    Yep. At that point you are leveraging the systems you've built and just scaling the process. The first 30k is easier in a job than in a business, but somewhere between 30k and 100k a business picks up momentum and things switch.

    Making 100k Per Year: Easy or Difficult?

    HOT! 
    Because . . . He says straight up that he makes his money in the slow lane. That means the "formula" he's going to sell to slowlaners is most likely to go to college and get a good job. Not exactly million dollar advice right there. If it was every high school guidance counselor would be...

    Making 100k Per Year: Easy or Difficult?

    HOT! 
    For the vast majority of people I don't think this is true. Your experience is colored by the fact that you are in sales which sits somewhere in between the fastlane and slowlane. While not truly fastlane, it shares a lot more in common with the fastlane than most slowlane jobs. Try getting...

    One thing I did not expect when "exiting" a job

    PEOPLE 
    What they all fail to realize is the risk they are taking by not doing the same thing themselves. They are risking living a life with no control or freedom, and the chances of that risk being realized are 100%. I like your odds a lot better.

    A couple of thoughts: 1. Find your most productive work schedule and don't try and fight it. When you know it is an unproductive time for you stop and get away from the computer. Otherwise it's easy to build a habit of fake work. 2. Read up on Parkinson's Law. You may find that setting...

    Go for it. The wife and I spent 3 months traveling around Europe last fall with our 1.5 year old. We came back to have a baby and are headed back at the beginning of July with a 2 year old and a 3 month old. Great feeling isn't it. I remember just a few months after getting married I...

    Being in a relationship with a slowlaner...

    GOLD! SLOWLANE PEOPLE CHAT 
    With all due respect, being brand new here, but none of the other women in the thread took issue with my comment. The thing about generalizations is that they're just that . . . generalizations. Generally they are true, but there are always exceptions at both ends. I said generally, not...
