    Who here is making any real money through an online business?

    EXECUTION 
    The thread's a circle jerk and not serious. @MJ DeMarco @Andy Black @Vigilante -- Can we introduce a "Circle Jerk" tag on the forum? That will allow people to quickly filter out threads like this that are not serious.

    Caffeine can kill your productivity!

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Yeah, I think it depends on each person. Personally, the way I look at it: Caffeine is linked to longevity (living longer). If it works for you, then keep taking it responsibly, otherwise do what works for you.

    Caffeine can kill your productivity!

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Genuine Question: Why do you guys want to quit caffeine? Because you've abused it? I'm with @kelvinfernandezm. If you "cycle" the caffeine, then its benefits far outweigh the costs. I do 3 weeks on. 1 week off. I start at 100mg per day and go up to 200mg's per day. Then when I stop feeling the...

    Lost... about to be homeless.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Figure out where the warehouse district is. Go there. Drive around. Everyone's hiring. It's still a "shit job", but less shitty than fast food/etc, and you can study a product/service business while there.

    It's non-binding. Basically means nothing. But if someone "commits", then they don't want to back out and screw you over when you're just starting out. People want to help people, especially if it's in their own self interest. The letter is just something that shows them: "Hey, you wanted...

    Product businesses take awhile for cashflow to start coming in. That's the negative. Positive is that it will take a similar time for any competition to start taking away that cashflow.

    Does anyone know their IQ?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've measured my IQ and it's high up there, but doesn't mean shit. IQ measures your ability to learn. If you don't learn, or do, doesn't mean anything. Intelligence has a surprisingly low correlation to success. Hardwork has a really strong correlation. My point: You're smart, but don't be...

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    From my understanding he went after the media a few months back. He was always an a$$, but now the media has turned on him.

    I don't need to be rich anymore: Lamborghini vs Farm Truck

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's an interesting story. To summarize: Guy made money selling tractors. Bought Ferrari's. Went to Ferrari and gave them suggestions on what to improve. Ferrari laughed at him and said if he wanted those changes to make his own company. He made his own company.

    I don't need to be rich anymore: Lamborghini vs Farm Truck

    OFF-TOPIC 
    To be fair, Lamborghini was originally a tractor company, so getting beat by a "farm truck" isn't that ridiculous.

    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    Big opportunity for making your own floatation company. Can't be too expensive to have a ceramics factory create new moulds. Maybe $20k in moulds, and after that you're selling at crazy margins.

    $100k 2017

    EXECUTION 
    "even though I'm not free yet" This is wantrepreneur mentality -- the suggestion that you'll be "free": have all this money, and never have to work again. End of the day, all that matters are numbers. You learned stuff. You're on the right track. Now put up numbers. Don't imagine yourself...

    Croatia has been underrated all tournament and still are. It's ridiculous. Goalie is world class. Midfield is world class. Forwards are middle class. Only thing average is their defense, but they've been doing alright. Everyone keeps saying that they're "tired", but I haven't seen that yet...

    Let's discuss the "trade war", will it impact your biz?

    HOT! SOURCING 
    The reason everyone imports from China is the ease of doing business with China. It doesn't take a genius to go on Alibaba, type in a random product, and find a supplier. The biggest money comes from what's hard. Going the China route isn't hard. The future's exciting.

    Your logic doesn't make sense. Following your logic, there's 3.6 million software developers in the U.S. You're screwed. On a more serious note, your statement is completely asinine since it implies that these tariffs are destroying any profitability from importing. The big money to be made...

    I have Croatia winning tomorrow. They've been weakened a bit, but I can't take England seriously. England's wins so far were all non-impressive: Tunisia, Panama, weakened Colombia, Sweden. Lost to Belgium. First real test for England. Croatia meanwhile beat: Nigeria, Argentina, Iceland...

    HOT! SOURCING 
    Thanks @MJ DeMarco for making this thread. Short-term this can kill many businesses. I just finished writing the government checks on anti-dumping products from 2015 that were affected by increased tariffs. Insanity. 2.5 years later and I'm writing checks. Regardless, my take on the whole...

    WeWork: Sounds/looks great, but does anyone actually work?

    HOT! 
    I visited a crypto company that had a market cap in the billions, and their main office in a WeWork. It worked for them, but they also refused to let us take videos/pictures so that investors wouldn't lose faith since they were a "WeWork company". As described above, the environment can work...

    Got $10K? Amazon Wants YOU to Deliver Packages

    365 days a year is pure bullshit. But for what it's worth, I have a friend that was trucking for Amazon from Chicago to Louisville and back everyday. He made over $200k last year and got a nice bonus as well. It could be a lucrative gig short term. Also depends on how the agreement is...
