    Is Chasing Money Your Road Block To Wealth?

    MINDSET 
    Life is so full of paradoxes and that's just one of them. As soon as you stop chasing money, and concentrate on what really drives you and helping others, miracles happen. I'm only a work in progress though but I've seen it enough times in other people lives to I believe what I say, just not...

    Motivational Quotes

    HOT! MINDSET 
    "Discipline hurts less than regret." Don't know who said it first but I love it. Discipline requires sacrifice, perseverance, 100% commitment. No doubt it can hurt some days but I'd rather hurt a little today than be miserable 10 years down the road.

    There's this saying about "luck"

    RANT 
    At every level people can find what to complain about. Someone in a poor country might be saying, "Oh, if only I had $1000, I could buy the equipment and start a business". Someone in US in Europe might be thinking "If only I had $100,000, opportunities would come my way". Elon Musk, after...

    The Do's & Don't of your First Startup. Don't make these Mistakes...

    This is straight from his book "Choose Yourself Guide to Wealth" just in case, great read! I feel his brilliance lies in that he reads so much, has plenty of experience and is able to sum up big concepts in convenient, entertaining writing style. My "go to" guy for inspiration.

    Put Yourself Out There and Opportunity Presents Itself(need advise)

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah exactly, I was looking at it from the angle that they wanted for you to do the programming. Anyway, the discussion above left me thinking I may not be as experienced as I assumed, or my ideas are not as good, or I'm unable to articulate my message clearly so I've got nothing more to...

    Put Yourself Out There and Opportunity Presents Itself(need advise)

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting take on this, shows how important correct positioning of yourself can be. So now if you are helping to mitigate risk and potentially reduce costs, it's a win-win situation. But now imagine luniac looking for someone to outsource to. He will be looking at that person's rate and price...

    Put Yourself Out There and Opportunity Presents Itself(need advise)

    EXECUTION 
    What I say is based on 3 years experience of freelancing but since I'm also a university student, you can discount a lot of it since I don't spend enough time working and gaining jobs as much as I would like to. I too am from a country where it's hard to find good clients so internet is my best...

    Put Yourself Out There and Opportunity Presents Itself(need advise)

    EXECUTION 
    I'd say most freelancers are just employees without benefits. In a job you get hired to do some specific tasks, that's how people see most freelancers nowadays too. The dynamic of a relationship is still similar to that of an employer and employee. Without a doubt most people prefer good...

    Put Yourself Out There and Opportunity Presents Itself(need advise)

    EXECUTION 
    Cool man, I like your attitude! You're right about the boss thing, a lot depends on how you draw up the contract but contract is an end to the means. What I'm trying to say is that if the guy is a middleman standing in-between you and the final client, your work is only being seen as a commodity...

    Put Yourself Out There and Opportunity Presents Itself(need advise)

    EXECUTION 
    If you are going to accept this guy's offers, it won't be much different than working for yet another boss. To really make it, you have to get to the clients directly and find out the problem, why do they need the app. Once you know the why, explain how you will solve their problem and calculate...

    Where in Europe is best value for an extended vacation?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm biased here but I would give Baltic States a chance too. They are warm during the summer, cost is very cheap, food is high quality, beer is delicious and girls are fantastic. If you have never been to Europe, then Spain and other Western countries will be amazing too and will probably...

    These Mesmerizing Maps of Where People Jog Reveal Something Telling About Major U.S. Cities

    Another thing missing here. Who's more likely to make it, healthy person or someone with chronic illness? What would be more interesting to find out is not correlation between health and wealth since the correlation is obvious already but the causation. Does better health bring more wealth or...

    Flex, Work at Home Jobs

    Could you give an example of a home job in sales or describe what's it like? Never heard of such thing. Perhaps if you could develop a bot filling out surveys, it's not so bad!

    Some Fastlane Porn

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I packed my shit last year and went over to East Africa for a month with backpack and 1000 euros. The experience didn't resemble these photos not even a single bit. One place I stayed had 20 local men all snoring their lungs out in the same room, I couldn't get asleep and listened to music all...

    The first months of your new business. How was it for you??

    I am in same shoes in terms of freelance gig and totally relate why you are bitter about the part of "creating a job for yourself". It's probably a good pathway to entrepreneurship but definitely not the destination.

    What do you guys think about the Oculus rift?

    Like any good technology, before you know, it gets applied to porn. Go to 28:55 for the culmination. Whether it's going to be a flop, no idea. Fact is, there are still relatively big problems with nausea when using these headsets for longer periods of time due to the brain being tricked that...

    A Reading Strategy That Actually Works

    100% agreed, books are invaluable but there is so much knowledge out there it's easy to fall in a trap of reading too much instead of taking action. I face the same problem. Another good strategy is to write book reports after each book you read. This gives a two-fold advantage, you don't have...

    Wrong Price ? Or Wrong Marketing ?

    MARKETING 
    Have you actually helped at least 1 patient? If no, this is a total quack and not much better than a scam. EDIT: Sorry, I read through the description and it said 'Prevent cancer', it somehow got stuck in my mind as cure cancer. Maybe the claim is too bold and noone is really looking to prevent...

    When does a Wantrepreneur become an Entrepreneur?

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't see people's obsession of naming things. This is that, and that is this, who cares, you'll know instinctively when you are one or the other. I'm still wantrepreneur for the most part and the first day I take real action, risks and get a paying customer, I'll call myself an entrepreneur.

    Common excuses and comebacks

    MINDSET 
    Remembered another one: "I'm too scared to do ______" - you'll either find a way to do it anyway or you just don't want it enough. I'm too scared to hold a tarantula but I don't really want to anyway. The other day though I was scared to attempt a backflip on trampoline but realized it would...
