    Becoming a millionaire (the ''secrets'')

    HOT! RANT 
    Yes! Literally the only thing we can control is ourselves but then you wonder why if we have to and do why don't other people? Yes! No one probably realized this until all the lockdowns. It's pretty important to live somewhere where aloneness and nature are easily accessible. I am so...

    Philosophy as a business

    What do you mean by philosophy? Or do you really mean self help? Have you studied philosophy? Eastern? Western? Sun Tzu? Confucius? Aristotle? Plato? What are your qualifications? If you are wondering if there is a profitable niche in getting people to think, then maybe? There is definitely a...

    My business is not super successful but growing. I can identify with some of this but my absolute favorite part of being in business for myself was when I got called a slacker. A. Slacker. By someone to whom I owe no money to, am not taking money from, and have done a ton of essential personal...

    A major way to cut down on distractions--turn off notifications on phone apps. The ONLY app I allow notifications for is when I have sales and customer inquiries. I use social media apps, but I don't allow notifications on them, even though they're for business. Not seeing a sea of red every...

    I'm a girl and I agree. :rofl: Seriously, though, I had a really good education, and years of critical thinking and learning to reason and having to defend my conclusions through logic, not tears. Agreed. But it can be scary, even to the people who know things. It seems like you won't know...

    I don't understand why they won't reopen schools but the ACTUAL SCIENCE based on other countries' having reopened schools indicates that it would not be dangerous. Is it politics, Karenism run amok, or ????? Everyone's freaking out, but no one's looking at numbers. It's probably different...

    I'm #2. Totally not interested in an empire, just freedom, the money is secondary. That was GROSS. I have this theory, though, that part of the reason people are unhappy and out rabble rousing is because they don't like where they live. Whether it's the neighborhood, the inside of their...

    Yes and no. I don't think any of this would have been nearly as destructive if they hadn't kept people locked up for months. We shall also soon see if there is a spike in cases. Not glad about the rioting but it's a good test as to whether crowds matter. With COVID 19, I would say yes...

    Chris, to be an independent thinker, you have to be able to explain your own thoughts, not link something and say so-and-so explains it better. And while there are obviously people who explain things better than we ourselves can, we also have to be able to parse what is being said and put...

    At the beginning, the lockdown seemed like a good idea FOR A LIMITED TIME because in March I believed a) a relative who's a doctor when he stated we were on the upslope of the curve and b)I believed that experts really were concerned and were giving us correct data. Now, though, it seem like it...

    Why are they telling us to stay home but the grocery stores are packed AND there is no 6 feet apart in them? There's 6 foot tape lines at the checkout in my local store but they have a huge aisle by the deli that has products packed all the way down the center that could be moved yet there they...

    Is Tim Ferriss a fraud?

    There is a really useful tip in 4HWW, though. He said he decided that returns under a certain dollar amount would be given, no questions asked, because they were taking something like 75% of his email time. I have tried to share this with other online sellers who will literally spend 2 hours...

    This is a skill that is lacking in a lot of people, and not just in regards to entrepreneurship and business. This is where a logic/critical thinking type class would be very useful for all, even if it is part of a philosophy curriculum/part of the chief aim of a liberal arts curriculum, which...

    In Texas we ARE. There are very few places open, and if there are, everyone I know isn't going anywhere other than the grocery store or work, if their work is still open. They literally think they are the most important generation to come along in forever. They don't really think about anyone...
