    one goal setting tip that I discovered (my dads advice actually) was on a certain project that I'm working on... he said... can you set aside your first two hours of the day for that job? (it's a long-term job that will take about 100 hours this year) Now, I come into the office, look over...

    This is what I take... One scoop of consciousness powder and 3 pills of the mushrooms. If I take the powder alone, I'll turn contemplative/dreamy. Like my brain has some extra horsepower, but it's in idle. You can feel the power, but don't have a gearstick to engage it. Add the mushrooms and...

    For one year you should have the shittiest job possible. Moving up is optional. This will teach you how it is to be an employee. If you ever take over the family business, you will then know what it's like and will treat a janitor with the respect that you would want of you were in that position.
