    Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.

    MINDSET RANT 
    I totally agree with this. I used to go to meetups because I really believe in the "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with" thing. However, it was pretty clear that those meetups were for people who were "playing entrepreneur." I can't judge, at least they are trying...

    Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.

    MINDSET RANT 
    This. I set a goal to read 69 books this year 1) because it's hilarious and 2) because it's totally doable. I just read an hour before bed (fiction) and an hour in the morning with my tea (non-fiction). If you can't tell, I like norse sagas :) It's absolutely nothing because I don't watch...

    Best Option to Use on Fiverr

    MARKETING 
    That should be your first warning! Cheating Google will turn out very bad for you in the long run. Don't chase vanity numbers such as likes, web traffic, linkbacks, etc. Go for quality traffic. Google knoooooooowwwws.

    Announcing: Google Domains (Should GoDaddy Be Worried?)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Go daddy does a lot of things right, but they also do a lot wrong. Their email and services management dashboards are awful. Imagine if your new domain's email went into a pretty gmail account without any effort on your part. Too early to say, but I'd be worried if I were godaddy.

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    Hey! Electrical Engineer here. Your idea actually isn't that outlandish. There are tons of companies that do custom embedded solutions for things like electronics in the backs of airline seats, medical devices, alarm systems, automotive entertainment stuff, etc. I'd find a company that does...

    Do You Want To Read Faster?

    I just enrolled in a speed reading course and I'm already WAY faster. Re: the retaining informaion concern, that was a concern of mine as well but it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. Right now I'm only at 500wpm on a good day, but apparently 1000wpm isn't unheard of after a month or...

    Infopreneur

    Try stressing to your prospective clients that you can absolutely find all this info for free, but it's a long hard process. You spend YEARS getting to the point that you did, and you can save them the heartache and feed them the exact info they need and the next steps to take. This was true...

    Welcome Noah Kagan from AppSumo/SumoMe

    AMA 
    Hey Chief, fancy meeting you here! Hopefully I'm not too late to the party. Gulp. I have two questions: 1) You've stressed in the past how incredibly important surrounding yourself with better people helped you. I'm trying to do that by working for smart people, talking with a few people on...

    Are most corporate lawyers dicks?

    PEOPLE 
    If two people treat you like a dick, then that's their problem. If everyone treats you like a dick, it's time to look in the mirror. Every lawyer I've dealt with was a super nice guy except for one.

    Ignoring NECST Will Kick Your a$$-Even After 100 Years of Success.

    MINDSET FTE 
    Stop me if I'm derailing the conversation here. Knowing how to make a website is definitely not a pre-requisite for starting a business though. I am still awful at websites, and I quit my job last April because my side-business was almost matching my Electrical Engineer salary. I suggest you...

    New Product Idea but Out Dated

    IDEA 
    Have you talked to any potential customers yet? Verify that your twist on the idea is valuable to your potential customers. Also, maybe your idea isn't a new widget similar to the one coming out, but a way to market it, or an addition to that platform.

    What's your number formula from TMF book?

    EXECUTION 
    just over $11 mil I cast my vote and saw that the only votes were all in the same choice, ha! I'm sure there will be some cowboys who skew the graph to >$25mm. I'm shooting for more always, but when I did the formulas, $11mm was what I got. Here's to more, boys!

    SEO Outsourcing?

    Don't waste your money, Chris. SEO is something for when you are really big and have a lot of money just burning a hole in your pocket. As soon as you shell out big buxx for SEO, Google will change the rules again. Preventing people from paying for rankings is what Google is all about. What...

    Think twice about spendings

    MINDSET 
    I think you're on the right track, but don't think about "saving" as much money as possible. Instead, think of applying as much money as possible to assets that generate money FOR you, rather than taking money FROM you. For example, I make a physical product and it's a no-brainer to get the...

    My website got hacked. F*ck

    HOT! 
    That still doesn't answer the question, which was "What is the market crying out more for?" Talk to a real person. Go find who you believe the customers are for each of these sites and figure out which one provides the most value to your target audience. It strikes me that none of this...
