    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    The helmets I've seen surfers wear don't obstruct vision much or at all. The point of my post though is to minimize risk in whatever way possible, even if it's not trending.

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    On a related note, there was a surfer who got slammed head first into the ocean floor by a massive wave, was paralyzed for 3 days before dying in the hospital. Had he worn a helmet, he likely would have been fine. Wearing helmets is becoming more popular among surfers, especially big wave...

    $10,000+ Spent On Developers.. 0 Return!

    GOLD! SAAS / APPS 
    My dad spent $2000 on scuba diving gear before realizing he doesn't like scuba diving. This thread is a good lesson on the fact that spending money doesn't equate to entrepreneurial progress and it certainly isn't exclusive to paying for developers. Sorry about your loss and hopefully others...

    Documenting my journey becoming a top notch writer

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You don't need a script writer to guide you. You haven't even made any real attempt at pursuing this yet. Could a documentary channel be successful? if executed well, then most likely. Want to get better at making documentaries? Start executing and making them. Making progress threads on what...

    YOUTUBE 120 days: Post a video everyday (Feedback please)

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I don't think your issue is related to video production skill or equipment quality. It seems like you decided to do the 4 month challenge for the hell of it with no direction or purpose. How many channels are you subscribed to that randomly create videos every day on unrelated topics? Probably...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I'm guessing its taking advantage of the fish processing the omegas since his body chemistry is unable to or does so very poorly? In most other cases aside from rare genetic issues like this, doing this is disastrous for humans. A prime example is iron: if you get your iron from meat that has...

    Well that sucks. Have you considered rerolling for better genetics?

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    It sounds like you're missing nuts and seeds that provide healthy fats. I would incorporate them into your diet and see if it allows you to eliminate fish. Examples include hemp seeds, chia seeds, celery seeds, almonds, and sunflower seeds. If you particularly need omega 3s, chia seeds are...

    An idiot admires difficulty, a genius admires ease

    ASSERTION MINDSET 
    There's some truth to this but it's mostly bs. In a context where easy is synonymous with efficient, then choose easy. In all other cases, plan on working hard. And more importantly, you shouldn't even waste thought on how difficult something is or will be -- just do what needs to be done...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    Despite some people hoping it's chocolate, you are right: it is rabbit poop. The only "Amazons" that will emerge from crypto are Fastlane businesses that serve the space. This is very different from investing in crypto.

    Is joining a university worth it?

    INTRO 
    I used to work at a college and would get asked all the time about whether or not college is worth it. There are a handful of degrees that are not only worth it even if you never make it out of the Slowlane but also can help accelerate your business growth. However, all the other degrees aren't...

    BAD advice you wish you did NOT hear

    This is precisely how Mark Cuban did it and I'm a huge fan of this type of trajectory.

    You probably aren't ready to have your own business.

    MINDSET 
    I get where you're coming from -- I am competing in the software space. But If I was in Johnny's position, I wouldn't care about my capability or "full potential" if it meant starting over in a different industry. I'd rather just keep printing money since $1 earned in lawn care = $1 earned in...

    You probably aren't ready to have your own business.

    MINDSET 
    The point isn't the time it takes to 5 figure months or maximum scalability -- of course online businesses are objectively better in most cases. It mostly has to do with saturation and people following trends instead of looking for value to provide, especially in an industry that isn't sexy...

    10 years here. Curious what had the most impact on you

    HOT! FEEDBACK 
    I wouldn't say that there's a single one-liner or tip really. For me, it's your "build someone up or say nothing" philosophy. I am way too blunt and argumentative to ever approach your level of zen but I have taken some value from your approach -- namely, choosing to say nothing rather than...

    They say rich don't watch youtube

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    First and foremost, you need to ditch the idea of absolutes. Absolutes are for mathematics. Rich people are normal human beings who just have a lot more money than you. That's it. They don't all abstain from YouTube or Netflix. Some might abstain from social media while they are building their...

    Finding motivation when you have a 9-5

    NOTABLE! 
    Discipline is what you should be looking for but you need motivation? That's easy. You hate every second of your job. Your coworkers are tolerable at best, some even likable but the work you do is meaningless. While you waste your life away in the office you dream of being anywhere else, but...
