    How would you spend your weekends to maximize chances of long-term "unscription"?

    EXECUTION 
    2 cents from someone starting at square 1 a couple years ago and kept spinning out and thus lost YEARS of time: 1) Find out what you want to do or what you're capable of doing - If you don't know, try to draw a plan starting from your end-goal and moving backwards step-by-step to where you're at...

    Profiting from scammers | Friday Fun Part 6

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Dude if someone found a way to punish and recover the money lost to scam farms or scammers I would donate to that so hard. Personally never been affected or had family fall for it but I've seen stories about how these locusts prey on older Americans and siphon hundreds of millions out of the...

    From 0 To 30K Dials - 9 Principles That Helped Me Get Unstuck And Generate $500K In Sales

    MINDSET 
    Dude congratulations on taking the list building into your hands. So would that be almost all of the 30k numbers you yourself found? I couldn't imagine how many weeks of work that would've been, especially if you're getting high quality data like the direct numbers of the owners. Granted I'm...

    What are you suposed to do when you have no idea ?

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE SLOWLANE 
    Tough question but one we see a lot from younger people here on this forum. The GOOD NEWS is that you read the books and you have enough foresight to know getting chained to a desk and whipped like a dog is a sh!t way to live. The BAD NEWS is that you're now carrying this dread of the future...

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

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I've seen quite a bit of speculation that we're headed for a 60s-70s type setup where inflation will subside, but stay above 4% and keep peaking up to 12% and back down for awhile considering the near 0% interest spending spree we're in the hangover of. Hope it doesn't happen, the stories of...

    MINDSET 
    Ah nice and right up mate, didn't realize you became SDR. Yeah the first couple of hundred suck, but once you realize you can build lists and just dial it gets easier. Especially after the 100/10/3 rule sinks in in your hindbrain in regards to completely cold outbound. Is your job feeding you...

    22, squarely in the Slowlane. Here to make my escape! (Introduction)

    INTRO 
    Dude hell yeah! Saving 100k will be a hell of a nest egg and would let you live without a job for at least a year while also purchasing inventory or equipment for whatever you do decide to start. You have a golden opportunity here so just don't lost sight. I lost sight a couple times despite...

    I started my garage "business" at 22 with no experience working inside a garage or being a mechanic.

    IDEA MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Dude, wow! Congratulations! Both on taking action, but also persisting and having it unfold like this. There's almost too many things to comment on, but most amazing are being dedicated to this to the point of getting fired (lmao) and also learning all of those extra skills like carpentry and...

    Exiting the cubicle farm and taking Web-Design full time

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Yep, it's about time to go full time. I can't count eggs before they hatch but so many people I ring up now are like "Thank god, yeah just send your info over"; I test it and ask "okay, so once I send my portfolio over, when do you want me to follow up and we can sit for a call?" and they'll...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    View: https://twitter.com/AlexHormozi/status/1612913266195587072 I ignore most of the hype surrounding GPT, especially after some of the examples of the dumb mistakes it makes and its bias. Now gpt is just a predictive model, but what will 4 mean for the world once it's released?

    LOL, glad I'm not the only one in IT that gets thrown at quagmires and expected to clean up other people's messes and getting yelled at that you can't turn a sh!tbox toyota into a ferrari overnight. Congratulations on getting those kicks from life and being able to wake up again. It feels like...

    WHAT BUSINESS PRINCIPLES AND LIFE LESSONS HAVE TAUGHT YOU THE MOST ??

    QUESTION 
    Persistence. I've been doing web design for local business, which is saturated but there's still a need. Made hundreds of cold calls. Would have some days where I called 50 and had no luck and would get depressed and spin out for weeks but then others when I would call just 6 and got in touch...

    Getting leads via Cold Calling?

    MARKETING 
    Hi there, I do the same method as you and I'm about 2,300 calls in. I think I had to make about 180 calls before I got my first job which was a portfolio project. When you call, you sort of suck-@$$ in the beginning, then you get better. Just keep in mind the 100/10/3 rule, so 10 out of a...

    Is it normal for me to get a job if I have no starting capital to fund the first stages of my business? If not, what side hustles can I do?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Completely, and you'll see it a lot on here. We actually just had a big blowout thread the other week because a lot of people without cash keep money-chasing with things like "copywriting" instead of learning and plying a skill to freelance with. Freelancing can be great and much freer than a...

    Doing things while being neurodivergent is tough- when you say autistic, about how deep into the spectrum are you?

    I'm going to wash windows for money tomorrow for the first time in my life. Any tips?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    While that's out of service, could you potentially just offer a "first-floor window makeover" package that's quick and a good price for you and the client? If someone showed up and told me they could make all my immediately visible windows shine like the day they left the factory for 100$ and...
