    Got Finance Book Suggestions ?

    QUESTION 
    I think finance is one of those topics where you don't know what you need to know until you need to know it. It's like learning a new language and culture. What I've found to work best for me is just reading biographies and memoirs from successful business owners. They often mention a phrase I...

    Developing Your Personality

    MINDSET 
    Great explanation. When I was young someone told me I was too obsessed so I backed off and lost the momentum I had built. 8 years later I'm all for going all in. I don't think founders are lying when they say they spend 90 hours a week working. More commonly called "Monk Mode" today. I believe...

    Developing Your Personality

    MINDSET 
    I understand the premise of this post but for most people there's nothing wrong with being obsessed the first few years. That intensity is needed more than the networking especially if you are doing a lean start-up. I personally thrive when I spend time away from people. It allows me to focus...

    Mentorship

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    People would take you more seriously if you expanded more on your original post. Why are you looking for a mentor? What part of the entrepreneur journey are you on? The more successful people are the more they value their time. Why should they select you over the other 100 people who have...

    I want out

    Welcome to the Forum. The best place to start with business ideas is with the skills you already have experience in. In the IT field do you see something that could be done better? Coming up with the business ideas is easy, execution is the difficult part.

    14 years old, any advice?

    INTRO 
    Honestly at 14 years old the best thing you can do is do whatever it takes to earn $1. If that means getting a job, then get a job. Mowing lawns, car detailing, junk removal, etc. There will always be someone that needs help cleaning or pulling weeds. Build your reputation as someone reliable...

    Anyone else find this crypto stuff overwhelming? Really wish I would have begun studying it earlier. This was announced yesterday at the Bitcoin Conference 2022. Strikes Lightening Network has partnered with Shopify. View: https://youtu.be/o73fWsqJDdY...

    Dang this was posted three months ago before Meta Stock dropped 26%. I agree that people will begin valuing privacy more than anything else. I stopped posting on Facebook because I didn't like how my friends/family could see what posts I commented on.

    Digital Detox: Give Yourself an Extra 4 Hours a Day

    MINDSET 
    Absolutely great article. I've felt like I've had brain fog for the past 7 years, feeling dumber and dumber each day. I did a digital detox last year after reading "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport and it helped break my Twitter addiction. Sounds like I need to create a lifestyle around only...

    Journey to top 20% as a solopreneur

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate the honesty. There is a huge need for physical businesses. I think if I don't try this for 6-12 months then I'll always look back and wonder what could have been. I do believe if 12 months from now things aren't working out then it would be wise to move on.

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    It's discouraging but it actually made me sit down and reread "The Escape Number Strategy" chapter in TGRRE. I glossed over it the first time. I thought I could get away with an estimate of my escape number but now I know I need to sit down and actually calculate it. Knowing 10 years from now...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I'm 27 and retirement is 67 in America. Not going to lie, it's been tempting to give up and stick with the slowlane but not after seeing these numbers . Using calculators/historical data is helping me see escaping the rat race is literally life or death. Receiving the maximum social...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    After seeing your post I did some calculations based on the historical data on this website. It goes back as far as 1953 and adjusts for inflation. By the time I'm eligible for retirement in 40 years, only 50% of homes will be less than $2,485,231 In 20 years, the medium home will be...

    EXECUTION 
    I haven't been as active as I should. The first three days went well but then I started having doubts about everything and started asking myself what do I really want. I haven't really done anything since 8/16/21. I've answered 166 questions on Quora and have 14,500 views. At my height on...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for your response. It helps me to see where I'm not communicating clearly. I do have a high paying skill from a business I began in 2016. I found the skill wasn't my problem but having the self-confidence to market myself is. I'm learning marketing now so if what I'm doing now fails...
