    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    I was recently a free agent after the auto shop I worked at stopped paying me. (Another story, I won't be that grand ever #jobsecurity) A family member of mine recent got a job with a fairly big company. He told me the job is great. The company is great. They have great benefits. I should get a...

    Are We In a Relationship?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I hate it when they try that. It never works on me because it's obvious. Making vague statements on social media, that are obviously meant for me. I hate carrots too. There is nothing you can do to them to make them taste better. Nothing. Like seriously, if you actually knew me you'd shake a...

    The #1 reason I'm not doing anything at the moment: Environmental pressures Mainly, I'm not comfortable where I'm at. I live with a major pain, who is manipulating me into working a "Full-time job" on fear of never talking to this part of my family again. I got an overnight retail job, where...

    Are We In a Relationship?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Being Fastlane means you have to deal with other people. Having a good partner, who isn't in it for the money or fame, is a major part. Fastlane to me is having what you want, be it cars, happy spouse, happy kids. Whatever. If the OP wants to be in a relationship, and is asking us how, why...

    Does this describe you? I need your help...

    This is exactly what's going on with me right now. I am learning via Youtube how to code Android apps. I was going to use my previous mechanic experience as a way to make a business but things kept creeping up. I'd be the only person doing the work. What if I get injured, it's common in...

    Does this describe you? I need your help...

    I agree with Lacrim on this. I tend to go from super friggin' excited to burnout in days flat. Then when I try to force myself to work again, I get all "up in my head". "At least you aren't hooked on heroin like most of the kids you grew up with" "At least your aren't dead or locked up like...

    What is the barrier to entry for iOS as opposed to Android? Would you recommend someone who's already put a decent amount of time into coding Android apps to stop and switch to iOS? How long does it general take for your apps to become viral, from idea to first 1000 downloads? Or whatever...

    To dump on or prop up?

    MINDSET 
    When you put yourself out to the public, you open yourself up to criticism. This criticism can be "It won't work" or "do this to make it do xyz better". Telling me an app won't work in the market place will get you ignored. Not adding CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms does nothing for the person...

    Actually, you aren't. 1. You are selling a change in someone's life. The workout isn't the actual product. 2. Piece of mind. Not dog training. Good dog = happy owner. 3. Image - Teeth say a lot about a person. 4. Credit score is a joke, you aren't selling them a service, you are selling...

    Can a Foreigner Get Good At Copywriting?

    MARKETING 
    If you take the time to practice one skill everyday, you will get good before 2 years. If you practice two skills everyday, it will take you twice as long to do everything. What cuts through a brick faster, a regular garden hose or a CNC Machine? They both use water. The answer is the CNC...

    Can a Foreigner Get Good At Copywriting?

    MARKETING 
    Those who are good at anything didn't ask if they could be good. They just did it. You can learn more about how to shoot a jump shot by practicing it. Once you've practiced it 1000 times, find someone who's better at it than you to show you some pointers. Once you go through this...

    People who watch "the voice" and other reality tv shit

    HOT! 
    I use to be you OP. I use to get pissed off at the people watching American Idol or Real Housewives of Who cares. Thing is, you need to step back and look at what you've done today. Are you at least one step closer towards accomplishing your goals? If yes, what are you doing complaining about...

    Love this thread. It reminds me of what's been going on in my life here lately. I went to go learn mechanic stuff at a shop so I could work on cars. Almost a year later, I can do just about everything that doesn't need a special tool to be done on a car. Need an axle done? Give me $200 for the...

    Between Anxiety and Boredom

    I came across this blog post by means of Quora. The part that interest me the most is the claim that there are two types of growth. Growth from boredom Growth from anxiety I've gotten use to the boredom aspect. I'm bored, I want to learn something. Lets go play chess. Or I'm bored, poker my be...

    At the bottom of the forms, there is a button to deactivate your account. Go through and make sure you click not to get e-mails. Or just learn how to ignore it. Stop living vicariously through others and do it yourself.

    Gamblers - what's your game?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My game is called business. The odds are never in your favor. It's you vs everyone else. It's highly addicting when you start beating people. Other than that, I play chess.

    So here's a question no one asked... Who knows about your site? If you've done some promotion somewhere then that is probably your source. If you've actually ranked on Google which no offense, I doubt in such a short amount of time, then your problem is your own fault. If you are getting...
