    SELF PUBLISHING SUCCESS =QUANTITY, NOT QUALITY?

    PUBLISHING 
    ^ very good post here. The money chasers love to believe that customers haven't caught on to the whole market flooding approaching, but they have. You have to keep in mind: a lot of the customers on the kindle store have been there a while and notice trends just as the publishers do. I remember...

    Failing at Entrepreneurship: Guys I Wouldn't Bet On.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Great thread. Is it safe to assume the guys you would bet on are the polar opposites of the one's listed?

    You may be surprised. I'm willing to bet half of the people on this forum are introverted. ;)

    Exercise: What's Holding You Back?

    MINDSET 
    Fantastic thread @Kung Fu Steve Yes, I wrote everything down, and, it was what I needed. I had begun the habit a while back of writing everything down and finding the opposite, etc. but had since gotten lazy with it. This was what I needed.

    Well... I'm officially a Millionaire

    GOLD! 
    Something I wanted to touch on briefly: I remember a thread you had posted a while back regarding making a positive change and ridding yourself of a bad habit. I'm not sure the magnitude of the prior situation, but I truly believe giving it up probably helped you get to where you are now, not...

    Yeah, just the typical of outcome of neglecting fitness for a long time and trying to pick up where I left off :banghead:

    In a fierce battle with my greatest enemy

    MINDSET 
    Great thread. There is a quote from Internet sensation Kimbo Slice that has always stuck in my head: "the inner me is the enemy"

    ^^^ This x10000000. If there was ever some "magic bullet", some "change your life in only one week!" trick, it would be this. It's strange and almost as if we don't consciously realize how deeply our environment (people include) can have an impact on us. A few years back, I went through probably...

    It happens, man. I'd be lying to everyone here if I claimed to be a time God on some uberman schedule. Although I do still have my moments, they are far less frequent and I'm actually happy when I call myself out on it (most people never realize it). It's crazy to go from being conditioned to...

    My posting here has been scarce lately, mainly because I don't want to show my face until I have updates for my progress thread. However, I do occasionally check in to read posts and chat with one of the members on here and a recent discussion we had made me remember a moment I wanted to share...

    Movie "Drive"

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I will 2nd nightcrawler. Fantastic movie. It reminded me of a story I heard a while back (which may have inspired it). Don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but I'll just say there was a guy in Brazil EXTREMELY "nightcrawling"

    Time For Some Accountability!

    EXECUTION 
    I've struggled with it in my younger years, coupled with panic attacks = good times (not really). Recently I've dealt with it after years of not having it even cross my mind, mostly because of poor dietary choices, decrease in my physical exercise and my obsession with time and control. Anytime...

    PUBLISHING 
    Welcome and congrats! There is a great group of self-publishers here, some who are successful, some who are finally beginning to figure things out and gain more traction/momentum, and some who are just beginning. You will find a lot of useful publishing topics in the actual self-publishing...

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    Three novels a year is still solid, especially if you're taking your time on it (IMO). Curious - do you set "deadlines" for yourself? I used to do this and quickly realized it works against me :\

    Why are people broke ? The answer in one picture

    RANT 
    I used to get upset over how lazy people can be, then I realized that the masses of lazy = more opportunity for those who aren't. I contemplated deleting most of my pseudo/occasional friends from FB, then I realized I'd only have like 2 people left, haha. Dumped the whole thing all together...
