    Jason's How to Build Wealth & Golden Nuggets

    Going to have to disagree again, on both counts, sorry...;) You underestimate the value of a patent. You can't just "tweak" it to sell for yourself.... That's what patent lawyers are for.... Besides, the amazing thing about Likwid's design is that no one had a patent. I still find it...

    Jason's How to Build Wealth & Golden Nuggets

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I disagree, poor comparison imo. Jason laid out a path detailing his process. He "removed" the barrier to entry by sharing his process, which was tons of dollars and months in creating, and was of tremendous value to others observing, not because of a step-by-step for that particular...

    Can I scale these?

    Like Emanuel said, it's not a question of whether you can save people time, it's whether or not saving them time makes you enough money to be worth your time... From what I see (and read) flip phones have died in popularity overall. Those used to be recycled, only because it wasn't worth...

    I liked the story, but this. Whoa. This encapsulates so much of what I need to work on. I don't suffer from a scarcity mindset, but the rest of this really pops me right on the nose. I get stuck in analysis paralysis sorting through the confusion, which really only causes more confusion and...

    The Only Way to Get Really Rich

    This site has some great articles. Be careful not to read just for the mental motivation (talking to myself here too), but good stuff here. A few I liked: 9 Things People Just Don't Get About Entrepreneurs (seems better than the typical, "you don't fit in? you must be an entrepreneur!"...

    Amazing job @RichKid. Loved following this along. Perfect example of "leap, and a net shall appear." Looks like I'm nearby you. :cool:Craigslist here "in the D" is awesome! I thrive on it. So many people that get rid of good stuff (don't want to take time to list it w/pics, owe $ on a...

    :) This is so true. People don't want to go to the extra effort. The irony is, the extra effort can so easily end up being more profitable than your "normal" effort... Case in point: I talked to a kid in my class last week who was complaining about how little income he made at his part time...

    I get that. I haven't researched him enough to call him out really, and I wouldn't get any pleasure from doing so. I'm not trying to downplay his success at all, just wondering what people think of the way he's selling it. You're saying he's transparent about what he does, and he makes money...

    Hmm. I've seen a lot of phrases on here relating to "the brain doesn't..." or "we all naturally avoid," and I'm starting to wonder if they're really the blanket statements they appear to be. You could also say we are programmed to desire security. In the early stages, the "career" of an...

    True. I guess I mean to ask, doesn't it feel wrong/backwards to be one of the gurus living the "Paradox of Practice?" What he's selling is the "illusion to the culprit" in terms of how he made his money (From MJ). Are the gurus those we are supposed to ignore and maybe become upset with for...

    I have the same issue in regards to being too much of a perfectionist. I'm not unable to finish a project, but I do spend too much time on evaluation. The question is, why do you do it? I read somewhere on here recently that part of the cause is fear of failure. That's pretty true for me. I...

    Can I answer your question with a question? MJ touches on guru's who sell the slowlane, and while they are in the fastlane themselves, we all know not to follow their teachings. While Tim isn't selling the slowlane here, what he's actually selling isn't what got him where he is. It's the fact...

    Signs you are a "wantrapreneur"

    Wow. Some of this hits me in more places than I’d like to admit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for the “one inspirational quote” or “one secret formula” to get started, but to a degree, I do feel a sense of accomplishment after reading one of these books (biographies mostly). Why? I feel...

    Exactly. A classic ad-hominem argument I don't own a home and just looked up mortgage payments since I was curious... didn't realize how big of a mortgage payment that would make. In the same way that compound interest really works for you if you're investing with millions, 4.5% of 4.5...

    Shortened first post up a bit, hopefully it's more readable... True enough. Do your risk taking before you settle down, because then it will be harder to motivate yourself to leave what's comfortable. Good reminder. Not trying to fake it, just enjoy learning things from different angles...

    Which one? ;) Assuming you mean I did associate a feeling of cool-ness with the jeans, I actually didn't notice any difference aesthetically between the two, except for the fit. That may have gotten buried in the rest of everything... Not to get on a tangent, but statements like that always...

    Mike, thank you for your service. This thread has some killer info in it! I’ve been taking notes… This is good. I do this a lot personally, and I definitely feel like it’s one of the reasons that I’m an excellent conversationalist (imo). This is so helpful in finding consumer needs. I’ve...

    Why do I think I can become a successful entrepreneur? (and not turn into a wantrepreneur) Forgive me for not having any mind blowing insights (seriously. I find them in so many other threads, but I don’t think there are any hidden here), as I’ve been engrossed in this school of thought for...
