    I'm one in a million. You probably are, too. So what!

    Thank you! I've worked hard to develop that as a core strength of mine. I know it's going to be an important part of my future. I've got a least a couple of books in me. Meanwhile, looking to use those skills to add value to the forums, and find a way to pitch some copywriting, in marketing...

    False advertising!

    I only wasted the standard FOUR years in college like a loser! Someone else posted the five years topic! :rofl:

    Applying FastLane Principles to Finding Love?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I think you're giving her great advice here, Virginia! Part of my initial long comment was to point out that a "business by the numbers" approach can be a turn-off for romance. But there is a valid comparison to business here. "I'd like to become a vendor for you, because I see how I can...

    BIG a$$ ROCK

    HOT! MINDSET 
    From the title, I was scared to read this post. Would it be full of snarky comments about the Sidewalker's foolish waste of money on an impressive engagement ring? Would it be full of snarky comments about weight training gone wrong, when the steroids get injected the wrong place? Would it be...

    The Beginner's Guide To The Sales Funnel

    MARKETING 
    I knew about this, but it's new to some people... and always worth a discussion. Thanks for the post. Perfect example of how successful business is a process, not an event. People aren't interested in the true story of trial and error to improve the metrics on each phase of the funnel. They...

    I've been thinking about some theories of personality types. The idea is that personality can be measured in several dimensions. For example, what's a person's most motivating goal, and what's his or her overall attitude to life. For each of these dimensions, there are a small number of basic...

    Requesting NECTS analysis help for restaurant marketing plan

    MARKETING 
    Course Correction from what I'm learning from other users I need to try this approach in multiple vertical markets where I have some kind of affinity, and see which ones happen to like to buy from me. Don't get hung up on just doing restaurants. I need to think in terms of a comprehensive...

    The Exact Pitch I Used to Close an $8,000/month Contract

    THANK YOU, Devin! This is EXACTLY what I want to be doing now. My ONLY issues are how to get into these kind of meetings right away, and how to deal with the lack of a portfolio. (I suppose the portfolio issue could be dealt with by getting my team of freelancers ready to help me implement...

    Earning $2,000,000 a day. Fastlane?

    HOT! 
    I think that's really brilliant, by the way. I admire the company and their strategy, despite my tongue in cheek comment. Love the idea that skill can't lose to someone else putting more money into the game. Their character might show up to the fight with more style, but that doesn't...

    Earning $2,000,000 a day. Fastlane?

    HOT! 
    I'm not much of a gamer, and had never heard of this one before MJ started the thread. From the article above, it looks like the money all comes from "cosmetics?" In other words, this is pay to dress up your doll for grown-ups, except that you're dressing up an avatar that blasts the hell out of...

    Pricing Strategies

    MARKETING 
    Awesome article, thanks! Las Vegas hotels are ruthless with this. For hotels at anywhere from $19 to $500+ a night, there's an additional $50 or so "resort fee" tacked on. Supposedly it's for the use of the pool, wifi, gym, etc., but people complaining about it, who say they don't care about...

    What do you think of when you go to sleep?

    MINDSET 
    I heard a spiritual/inspirational talk with advice I liked: As you go to sleep, think about, "In general, tomorrow could be a good happy day for me. A day I enjoy, get things done, have good people in my life and get along with them." Instead of trying to predict all the specifics, stay on...

    29 Year Old "Stuck" Dentist

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! The one thing you don't mention is, would you like to continue with dentistry? Do you enjoy the work, or is it just a cash generator that you can't stand any more?

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I'm curious to see if you'll find action-focused, business-minded people on Instagram. I'm not on it, but I have some friends who are, and they sometimes forward what they posted or found there. Based on those examples, it always seemed to me to be a place for fun, jokes, gossip, and...

    I happened to pull up the Collier book before Caples. Notes (and personal applications) of "The Robert Collier Letter Book." The text is in the public domain, so your version might have different page numbers. This is a long book so I'll make notes in sections. Here's part 1. Next part might...

    Thank you so much for the kind words. Going through some hard times, some I've mentioned here and some I haven't, helped build an intense drive in me to find psychological truth and moral wisdom. I wouldn't recommend this path to anyone! Obviously I still have some things to learn. But...

    Getting a kick out of the random positive reinforcement

    When I joined the forum, I hadn't paid any attention to the "rep bank" score while I browsed as a lurker. It's been fun to see score awards pop up for various activities. I wasn't looking to get followers, didn't even realize the forum had a Follow feature, but hey there's a follower and more...

    Cool tip, thank you! I see lots of crap comments on blog posts. I know for myself, when I get active with blogging later this month, I intend to delete comments where there's no way to see that the comment was unique for the post. As an example for this thread: "Great tips, I was looking for...
