    Argument for Doing A Passion-Based Business?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think passion is integral for process and not the "thing" itself so to speak. So, if you're really into boats and you want to start a business around boats. You're going to have to find meaning doing some stuff that not everyone wants to do regarding boats. Maybe you start buying and selling...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I've had two anecdotal experiences with "something." Now, I don't really go around saying aliens exist or they don't. I've never directly seen an alien. But, I keep an open mind to most things. I've tried to make sense of these experiences, but still don't know exactly what I saw as it was...

    Why I despise Pickup Artistry, and how to have a fulfilling sex life.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I despise a fair amount of it although there are some things positive about it too. I used to read more into it until I realized that I knew enough to get the results that I wanted from dating. There's way too much fluff and perceived value molestation in that market for me to appreciate it as...

    Crushing B2B Sales with LinkedIn

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Yeah, I was trying with dubb. I see there is a 14-day trial and then it requires a paid subscription. And yeah, I was doing a unique video for every person. I offer a lot of free personalized value upfront so I thought a personalized video would be nice as well. Should I be sending the same...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Two quick questions. (Forgive me if they've been addressed already.) Any unsexy business ideas that have little starting overhead expenses and little legal hurdles? Also, are there any unsexy business ideas that are digital or are we looking at anything on the internet as being sexy?

    Crushing B2B Sales with LinkedIn

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I can't seem to embed the pixel without paying/subscribing for premium. Is there a workaround? I mean $40 a month isn't terrible, but I feel like there would be a service that would allow one to do this without that fee? Perhaps I'll look more into it...

    Crushing B2B Sales with LinkedIn

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I like this, but I might not run any paid ads at the beginning. Do you think doing a video message without embedding a pixel is a bad idea? I'm not going to try close them in the video, only offer value upfront and then let them know that they can contact me anytime if they'd like to know more.

    Generalist Vs. Specialist

    If there is a thread I missed in my search I apologize. I saw this touched on a few places both on this forum and elsewhere. A lot of people online preach that when starting a business (such as a web design agency, smma, consulting, etc) it is better to start as a specialist. Ideally picking an...

    A sales tip for techies

    MARKETING 
    Nice post! Nothing drives me further away from a salesperson than someone trying to hard close, talking some "robotic" script or using some cheesy 1950's techniques. Buyers are more informed than ever before. Sure you can argue there is a lot of misinformation on the internet too. But, the...

    Best MJ DeMarco Quotes?

    MINDSET 
    One nugget that I really liked was in Chapter 27 (of course the whole chapter is really good.), "Real change comes from identity and self-not from interim motivations jump-started by books or YouTube binging. Basically, you have to BE what you want to become FIRST so the actions can follow...

    Thoughts On "Minimalism" And How It Affects Your Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    This :rofl: I believe I understand the positive intent in the minimalism ideology. But, I don't see it as an "end all solution" to a more happy or fulfilling life. I don't find it overly difficult to see passed materialism's script while still keeping some extra clothes in one's closet. Also...

    The price of success

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't think to be successful one would have to toss their child off a cliff. But, I understand the point you are making. I think many people look at change as sacrifice. I mean it is, but it shouldn't be thought of as loss, which many people confuse it for. If one goes to the club 5 days...

    How do you become a happy person?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I can relate (I'm also 24 living with my parents. But, no girlfriend. And kind, but SCRIPTED friends.) I too have struggled in life (bad relationships, leaving unfulfilling jobs, wishing death to all life on this planet, etc). But, I eventually understood that happiness is not something to get...

    Beware Those Offering To Hire You Too Easily - Meeting A Psycho For Coffee

    Lol, this sounds eerily familiar to what happened to me a little while ago. I met with two couples at a Starbucks and later attended a basement meeting with about 30 people in this. It was at this basement meeting where I watched these friendly people become an evil cult. There was one speaker...

    Should I take a job

    MINDSET 
    Take a job or find some way for income to accommodate your life, but remember to ignore the F*ck out of sidewalk/slowlane people that you come across while there. Their SCRIPTED advice isn't worth more than a fake smile and nod in fake agreement. I made a decision a while ago to move back in at...

    Pick a niche. Can you "Follow your passion" there?

    Picking a niche is difficult if one succumbs to something like the paradox of choice (analysis paralysis.) You could invent a new niche entirely, pick something you're "passionate" about, try the latest trending niches based on Google. Ultimately, my opinion is this "All ways of choosing a...

    How to detect deceitful people

    HOT! 
    It's tough to trust anyone completely. And you should always be a little wary about the claims of another. But, you need to trust people eventually otherwise you'll have no business. If you are doing a major deal, hiring someone or associating yourself with someone that will impact you...

    Should I be worried about capitalism changing? Or am I overthinking it?

    HOT! 
    The real issue I find isn't so much with "Capitalism." At least what real capitalism is. Personally, I am also okay with certain levels of marketeering as well, but I can also understand the anger some people have for that. The larger issue really is by the hands of the government. The...

    Plant-Based Opportunities / Vegan Business Opportunities

    HOT! 
    Seems like a fairly decent opportunity, but how does a poor schmuck like me best his odds? a)Assist already established vegan businesses with a service? b)Start a vegan product business with little to no investment, just sweat equity? (vegan software? lol)
