    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    You're not going to like hearing it, but get a job. You need to be able to cover the necessities of life. However, once you're self-sufficient, F*ck what anyone else thinks.

    What's In Your Shaker?

    If you're having trouble getting enough calories in your shake to make it a proper meal replacement, add some coconut milk or cream. Note that you might have to gradually work your way up to the amount you need over a few days. Coconut products can give some people a bad stomach until they get...

    Can your IQ SCORE cap your ability ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    If you have an IQ of 25, your ability would be pretty damned capped, so the answer is obviously yes. However, that's not really what you were asking, right? Maybe better questions would be, "what's the minimum IQ you need to have a reasonable chance at being successful in business?" or "how...

    Looking for app games with multi-user support.

    EXECUTION 
    Ah shrug, I'm more of a designer than a programmer (I admit to being a shitty programmer at best!), but a board game is highly tolerant of latency when compared to games that need actual real-time updates. All board games are pretty much async. Even if playing in "real-time" mode, you could...

    Looking for app games with multi-user support.

    EXECUTION 
    Well, so long as your client continually polls for an async update while it's loaded, then there's no reason that a sync and async game needs to be implemented any differently. If we're playing a board game, and I need to bail in the middle, there's no reason that our session can't be saved and...

    Looking for app games with multi-user support.

    EXECUTION 
    So you're basically looking for something like board/card games that can be both real-time and async? or have some elements that are real-time and different ones that are async? A 6 player, turn-based, async game sounds like a bit of a nightmare to be honest, unless its designed such that the...

    Making 100k Per Year: Easy or Difficult?

    HOT! 
    If selling via Amazon, why does it matter where you're physically located? You may have a couple of extra hoops to jump through, but that's pretty far from impossible.

    How to cope with being nervous for presentation

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think the best advice is to NOT try and memorize your presentation, word for word. This seems like the way people start out (or just reading directly from notes), but it's pretty much the worst way to do it. You end up sounding like a robot, and it's really easy to go blank if you get...

    I'm 15 years old and about to become a millionare!

    INTRO 
    As someone who frequently talks to Norwegian students in English, I can almost guarantee that your English is much better than you think it is and that you would have pretty much zero problems existing in the US. There's no way that school will get you perfectly fluent. You'll only do that by...

    Informational Product Format

    So almost 1/3 of respondents are interested in your product, and that's not good enough? What sort of response were you hoping for? I'm not saying you should run out and make your product without further validation, but maybe things aren't nearly as bleak as they seem.

    The Secret to Making Video Gaming an Asset

    MINDSET 
    Just because you don't feel like it benefited you, doesn't mean that it can't benefit anyone. Also, plenty of people spend lots of time reading books for nothing but entertainment as well.

    The Secret to Making Video Gaming an Asset

    MINDSET 
    I'm clearly biased as games have always been a big part of my life (my first real business was selling game currency!). However, I think games (like most things in life) can be great learning experiences, but also like most things in life, very few people really take advantage of the...

    Our Kickstarter Failed and It’s OK

    Ya, surely there's no market among golfers for such a simple device at more than a $5 price point! I guess these guys are all insane too. Those damned penny-pinching golfers! $30 rubber circles $30 piece of plastic $37 nylon strap $60 mirror $90 mat with a couple of pieces of plastic $120 mat

    Our Kickstarter Failed and It’s OK

    Nice rundown on the lessons learned man. Even if the KS didn't go that well, it looks like it was damned useful in pushing things forward.

    Discussion on the value of college degrees, even in business.

    HOT! 
    I'm not MJ of course, but for whatever it's worth, I have 3 degrees that I regret getting, even though they helped me to land my "dream job" as well as my followup to it which is actually a pretty great job. I definitely learned a ton and gained some considerable benefit from college. But was...

    Discussion on the value of college degrees, even in business.

    HOT! 
    People who want to hire people with degrees won't take you seriously without a degree. So it's simple, if you want someone who wants to hire people with degrees to take you seriously, then you need a degree. Of course you can. You're choosing not to. That's a perfectly fine and valid...

    should I start with blog and turn it into a web site?!!

    MARKETING 
    What's the difference between a blog and a website? A blog is just a website focused on delivering content. I'm pretty sure that no matter what kind of site you're wanting to start, you can find similar successful sites that have a blog sections as well. If you're setting up something like an...
