Start School to Develop Entrepreneurs
Oh my goodness, your lab sounds AMAZING!!! I hear you on the topic of managing and teaching without killing individuality. As someone who has worked extensively with children, both in the public school setting and outside it, I've seen it firsthand. I wonder if it would help to teach the kids...- Bekit

Rey | Miami | Digital Marketing & SEO
MARKETINGWelcome to the forum. Sounds like you have a negotiation opportunity on your hands. Try looking up youtube videos of Chris Voss - then negotiate a pay raise. You don't have anything to lose. If he fires you, you were leaving anyway. If he pays you what you deserve, you have that much...- Bekit

900K In Sales. Need Help With Marketing
MARKETINGSome marketing thoughts (this is more from a direct response marketing / copywriting point of view; not focused on social media, except as a tool in your toolbox).... Who is your audience? Is your niche well-defined, or is it pretty vague? The more you can tightly define your niche, the more...- Bekit

Observations from working in the business of content creation. (Music Videos, Commercials, Social )
MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIAIt did occur to me after I wrote my post that unless I truly understand video production at a deep level, I won't be able to write the best script—even if I am a copywriter—and your response confirms that. There's so much to learn, and I deeply appreciate you taking the time to write such a...- Bekit

How I (didn't) become a millionaire at 19
HOT!I had encountered this thread a while back and liked a number of the posts. Then I got to the end and discovered it was probably a lie. But I forgot to go back and remove my likes at the beginning. So I just went through and removed my likes. No need for his rep to be unfairly boosted by...- Bekit

Observations from working in the business of content creation. (Music Videos, Commercials, Social )
MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIAI'll take you up on the chance to ask a question. Let's say I'm launching a book. I want a book trailer. I'm a copywriter, so let's say I write the script for my book trailer video. (Let's just assume for the purpose of this example that the script is actually good. Not saying that's a valid...- Bekit

How do I learn copywriting as a teen?
HOT! SIDE HUSTLE@hoponthebop I don't think it should matter that Fiverr and Upwork won't allow you to have an account just yet. Here are two alternate approaches: (Option 1) I just googled "english portuguese transcription" and got 7.7 million results. Try reaching out to the companies who are offering human...- Bekit

Are you a Multipotentialite/Polymath?
HOT! MINDSETSuch an interesting topic. OK so I have a bit of a nuance to add here. You say "Talent is a myth" and that "it's a great excuse not to try," but that real talent comes from persistence and "doing the work." But here's a curious case that sort of argues the opposite, and I'm curious how you'd...- Bekit

Walter Hay, Imp/Export Extraordinaire (Vandalay Industries)
FEATURED USERWhat an absolutely incredible, inspiring story, and well worth a bump. Rep++++!! @Walter Hay , I find my curiosity piqued with the seeming gap between the end of "modify an existing one" and the moment when you had $47 and made "that" sale (in the portion quoted above).

How to detect deceitful people
HOT!This is a really enlightening thread. Thanks, @astr0 for sharing the link.

How to detect deceitful people
HOT!That is a great question. I was like you. I believed waaaaaay too much of what other people said. I was too gullible. I was a sitting duck for people who had the intention of being deceitful. Then I was hurt. Twice. I took a job on two separate occasions where I worked under two different...- Bekit

Is Perspective the Death of Ambition?
MINDSETGreat topic! The way I look at it, perspective and ambition are on two separate axes on a 2x2 grid. Think of perspective on the X axis (negative/unhealthy on one end and positive/healthy on the other end). Think of ambition on the Y axis (high/lofty ambition at the top and low/nonexistent...- Bekit

Perspective - there's always someone who has it harder
Well, ok. Your belief system is different than mine. In order for your point to be true, one must accept that reincarnation is true (he chose this in a former life). That is a premise that I disagree with. Since your belief system is different than mine, can we please agree to sidestep the...- Bekit

Perspective - there's always someone who has it harder
Partly. He didn't choose his parents. He didn't choose his caste. He didn't choose to be born into circumstances that probably deprived him of even basic education. He didn't choose to be born into a slum. (I don't know that he was born in this slum, but the same YouTuber uploaded a video...- Bekit

Is a Slowlaner environment dragging you down? Has your personal environment changed?
SLOWLANEIt would be hard to overstate the amount that my "real life" environment is a slowlane one. I could rant and tell a crazy story of how bad it is, but suffice it to say that my friends are slowlaners and my husband is a sidewalker. So not much encouragement from that front. If I'm going to merge...- Bekit

Perspective - there's always someone who has it harder
Somehow I ran across this video today. Towards the end of the video, the story took a turn that made me go very still on the inside. It turns out this guy living in an Indian slum is an entrepreneur. He sells watches. I sat up and took notice. But the details! He might sell 3-4 watches on...- Bekit

Team Producer - in private Life as well?
