    NOTABLE! 
    I've always been fascinated by multiples at different scales. Have a company that does $10,000 in profit per year? 1.5x multiple. Have a company that does $100M a year? IPO at 20x earnings. It's incredible how much money exists from just combining companies.

    Advice: Has Anyone Groomed Themselves to Enter The American Elite?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    When it comes to elites, it's important to note that there's a difference between media's perception and reality. You have to find your niche and fit into that niche. There's the "high society" elite, and then there's the "yeah I'm rich/powerful" elite. The former is more concerned with...

    Hi there, each action I take feels like I'm wasting my time and action faking

    Learn to code. If you get good enough at it, you can get paid $100+ an hour to work for a company over the summers. That's a lot better for you to build capital than making minimum wage now. Sacrifice a few years. Build a skill. Apply that skill to get a lot of capital. Use that capital to...

    NASA scientist to Ecomm Girl, completely FREED from slowlane!!!

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    She's not overconfident, just confident. There's nothing wrong with having a high image of what you plan to be. Great intro post, but make sure you don't get distracted. Being a serial entrepreneur is a lot harder and lower EV than being a great entrepreneur in one vertical. The areas you...

    Should you worry about the competition? I'm afraid to scale

    Hide as much from the competition as possible, but don't let it come at the cost of growing your business/getting sales. There comes a point where you have to step on some toes. Step on them and get ready to knockout anyone that complains.

    Everyone moves at their own pace. Keep pushing forward and you'll be in a lot better shape than if you didn't.

    Should I Start a Vegan Business If I Don't Believe In It?

    HOT! 
    You have to believe in the product at a minimum. Liking the customer is something that helps a lot as well. In your case, you don't seem to like the customer. That makes it psychologically difficult to provide value for them.

    Amazing post. Need to start living more. Rolling more dice. His mistake wasn't marriage. Marriage had little to nothing to do with his regret. His regret was losing focus of what mattered.

    How do I Progress Over Summer?

    Basically any real job you get as a 15 year old is going to suck. Just get a job. And it's not about learning how to add value. It's about cementing in your brain that it's a lot better to work hard and sacrifice now, than to be 30 years old and work a job you hate. Run a business while you...

    BIG a$$ ROCK

    Naw. It came from @458 pushing a big a$$ rock. No myth. I'm still pushing my big a$$ rock. Halfway up the hill.

    How do I Progress Over Summer?

    Get a shitty job. The experience you have working that shitty job will motivate you throughout the rest of your life to be something more. Then when you get home from that shitty job, start investing the money you earned into anything that you want to pursue - Amazon FBA, publishing, etc.

    Tired of living in Brazil. How can I (should I?) move my entire company elsewhere?

    Do it. There's a ton of money in arbitraging labor (aka opening up a factory overseas and then selling the outputs in Brazil). It'll be harder than you think, but can be done. Make sure you have enough money to execute, then go out and do it. There's no reason for you to stay at home. Worst...

    EXECUTION RANT 
    Take two days to learn how to write resumes. Find a template. Fill in the template with your relevant info. Then when you're done, have someone proofread it. You have two obvious misspellings in your current resume (which based on the brevity of your resume is a lot). Also get rid of the...

    Hello

    INTRO 
    Great intro thread. Rejection is part of the process. If you can't handle some early failures, then there's no way you'll manage if shit hits the fan. Keep trying. If things go bad, learn, adjust, and push forward. Good luck @Slact

    This. Figure out if that's what you want to do, or if money is more fulfilling. Also are there therapy products that fill needs? If so, that could be an easier way to get into the fastlane while running your therapy business.

    Best of luck @Vigilante Also an idea for the forum, can we get a "HEALTH Progress Thread" section? It looks like everyone has their own opinions on what works and doesn't, so it'd be interesting to have people post their progress and use the community for feedback/motivation. I'd be in to...
