    Starting two ventures (short-term and long-term)

    EXECUTION 
    I own a Laundromat. I send my boards for my machines (brains and card readers) that don't work to a company on the East Coast, and they repair them for me. It's a great business. They must get the parts to fix them. I put them in a machine to test them when I get them back.

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I retired 22 years ago at 49 years old. I'm as busy now as I was in my career. And I help a LOT of people through my work. I have built a new empire. My ego is so big that I think I can change the world by cleaning up my little corner. I think of it like throwing a pebble into a pond. You...

    We've been using some simplified versions of AI for the last few years -- like Grammerly, Quicken, Excel, Google, and Word. There are a lot of features in those programs, and some make proactive suggestions. They sure make my life easier.

    I agree. And most aren't proactive. It makes adopting changes slower.

    Think of all the things that have changed in our lifetimes. When I was a kid, our water froze in the winter, and we had an outhouse. Most of my relatives didn't have indoor plumbing anyway. Telephone service was a party line, so we listened for our ring combination. We had a box on the wall...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Sounds like me. I've always been different. When I was a kid, I'd tell people around me who were facing problems -- you just do this, this, and this. That makes this happen, and then you get this result. For me, it could be solved, and the steps were totally apparent. They'd roll their eyes...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I know I already replied to you... but... people who think like us are very rare. What you described is not foreign to me at all. I too don't read fiction books. I get bored quickly, and most of the plots in them sound so similar. I don't usually watch movies for the same reason. It's hard to...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    One way to look at it: Do you miss fiction books? How much time are you spending on Netflix these days? Do you enjoy working out when you are learning something new, or does the old rote routine still work for you? Only you can answer your core question. Does it suit you? Do you feel better...

    Getting rich is an end result -- not a worthy goal. It becomes your stumbling block and a false measure of your success. Instead, work at playing the game and being the best in your field. Who can you serve? How can you contribute? Money coming your way is a natural result of your efforts. I...

    HOT! - AI - 
    I use AI, Google, YouTube videos, and I take a poll of the people around me to solve all kinds of problems. Sometimes it's just a phone call to ask a question. No one has all the answers, but most are readily available. And many solutions to all kinds of problems are elegantly simple. I can fix...

    Struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts...

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    You're 22. Your brain won't stop growing until you are about 25 years old. You won't believe how much you will change between now and then. This is not the end. It's a beginning. Your feelings of being unsure and unsettled are normal. You will have them from time to time over your lifetime...

    You sure have a dark view of the future! I've lived through a bunch of different "end-of-the-world" moments. These have all happened since I became an adult: Copiers became available, and almost the whole 3-color printing industry was wiped out. OPEC was formed, and we lined up for gas for the...

    Our summers are June through August. It's a huge state -- 3 times the size of Texas. Everything is a long way away. We have a bunch of different areas and different experiences. In a couple of weeks, I'm taking a cruise through the Inland Passage. I did this trip a couple of years ago, and it...
