    BOLD

    BOOKS 
    I've read it along with it's predecessor "Abundance" and another book "Exponential Organizations". It was inspiring if you're accepting of a futurist's view on the world. Some of these ideas are too premature to really be turned into a current business, but it outlines a potential roadmap for...

    Attempt #1: First but not Last!

    EXECUTION 
    Don't do this. It's way too early to be coughing up equity. If he's not willing to work hard and build a good product without equity, then he's not the right fit to have in your company. Pay him for his time and end it there. Over time if his contribution changes and you feel he's worthy then...

    Thoughts on Periscope ...The most important social app since Facebook

    MARKETING 
    Periscope and Meerkat will be around for a while...as will other flavours that pop up along the way. Video is the next progression of social. But as with all new social business models, monetizing it will be a challenge. Once it's cracked though it will be here to stay. Yes, there is much...

    Follow the market or go against?

    Three things stick out with me about your approach. 1) So why are you looking to bring a food product to market? You're already splitting your focus before you even start. If you want to be a food broker, then pursue it. If you want to develop a food product, then pursue that. Stop tying these...

    From debt/despair to Bentley (and revs eclipsing 10K/day)!

    NOTABLE! 
    My advice would be to keep renting. Getting a house requires 2 things you don't have: 1) downpayment and 2) capital for repairs and maintenance. Renting 'can' be a better option in the long run depending on the market you're in. Right now you have a known, fixed, recurring expense which is a...

    I'm going to hit $500 a week before the end of June

    EXECUTION 
    Easy. Don't just get lost in your 'vision'; act on it! Start making it a reality. Right now it's only a fantasy and that's why it's not present enough in your mind. Book a non-refundable plane ticket for a month from now. Would that be motivating enough? Read that quote above. Where's your...

    Follow the market or go against?

    I think you're too caught up in positioning a product you don't even have yet. If you've read the book, you'll understand that is centers around providing value to a customer base. So... What's your value? What product are you going to create and bring to the market to help improve someone's...

    FINALLY! From Millennial to millionaire - - in 5 steps! (forget the fastlane)

    HOT! 
    Dafuk?! By the time they reach retirement with this slowlane methodology a millionaire level of wealth will be middle class at best. That line is almost as bad as this other piece of garbage I found on the weekend. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/4-ways-to-retire-by-age-55-2015-03-11 You...

    The next $120 I gross online I will buy an insiders membership

    EXECUTION 
    Exactly @JAJT! Commit to the end goal financially so you have no choice but to follow through. Like @ZCP said, it's a small dollar value so it should be easy to attain (dream bigger) but committing now will force a mindset shift. Congrats on following up on the advice from your progress thread...

    Freedom & Success by 25 years old.. My journey

    EXECUTION 
    LLC? Hmmm...depends. Do you want to be a Wantrepreneur or an Entrepreneur? If you want to waste time making logos, business cards and figuring out the best name for your company, then file for an LLC and continue down the Wantrepreneur path. If you want to help people, make some sales, and...

    Freedom & Success by 25 years old.. My journey

    EXECUTION 
    Hard to give too much 'valuable' advice not know what it is or your spin but...One acronym: "MVP" If it doesn't cost much, pick one variation (one SKU), order some, and market the hell out of it. See what the market is for it. See how much interest you can draw, what you can sell for, and how...

    Should I thrive for balance or stay true to myself?

    PEOPLE 
    I get what a lot of the replies here are saying, but going out for drinks with the coworkers isn't entirely wasteful and it certainly isn't going to cause your business to fail (or be less successful). There is some value in the socializing with coworkers, particularly when working with...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Like @Get Right Said...too many questions but I think that's because you're still fearing failure. Like @MJ DeMarco told you earlier, focus on changing your mindset. You're going to fail. It is practically inevitable. So struggle, fail and get it out of the way. Get comfortable with the idea of...

    The *New* Endangered Species... Your Job.

    HOT! 
    If human factors are worth so much, why do people use ATM's? Why do people pump their own gas? Why do people buy anything online? If what you are saying was true small town America, with all it's local Mom & Pop shops, would still be bountiful today. I don't say this to poke holes in your...

    Need some serious help planning my future life within the next 3 days.

    Further to @AllenCrawley's comment, since when is creating your own business an easy way out of anything? It takes a hell of a lot more work to do that (successfully) than it does to go to work for someone else. Punching a clock is easy!
