    Hurricane Irma

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I sincerely hope your friend is OK. Naples got hit hard. I am sure they will reach out to you as soon as they get power. We are finally starting to get it a little harder in Central Florida, but of course nothing like the coast. Nothing like Naples. I really hope they are OK.

    Best Whiskey you've ever had

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Woodford was my go to for Old Fashioned's but ever since I discovered Tom's Town Distillery in downtown Kansas City, I prefer their local creation the Pendergast Royal. Sorry for the poor quality of the image and bottle, but I am currently enjoying this as I wait out Irma. Tom's Town | I...

    Hurricane Irma

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If there is anything good at all in all of this is that the latest 5PM news update discussion shows Irma significantly weakening faster than originally thought. It is still a dangerous hurricane, but the faster it weakens the better for everyone.

    Future Online Business Opportunities

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Opportunities and game changing ideas are really common. It is actually doing them and making that change that is hard. People could give you ideas all day, but they are worthless to the person that cannot, will not, or is unable to realize them. For example I really like the Real Estate on...

    Hurricane Irma

    OFF-TOPIC 
    In Clermont currently just west of Orlando and latest I saw on news is since it is making landfall a little south of where originally excepted (Naples area versus Tampa) it will weaken faster. Hopefully your home will be safe and secure. I came back to Florida to help many of my friends out and...

    Learning economics

    I was going to suggest this as the first book to read. It is a fantastic read! While I respect Ray Dalio as one of the best Hedge Fund Managers, given my history with finance and where I come from I take a lot of the advice from these guys as suspect until you have the funds to play with a...

    Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.

    NOTABLE! 
    OK, I just read this whole thread. Wow.. just wow. I am not proud of a majority of decisions I have made in my life, and I know they are all online and what not. Success and failures, but at least nothing related to rallies and drug use. Ouch! This is the the best read I have had all day...

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum Mike! Sounds like you were bit by the Entrepreneur bug and working hard to change your life. It is difficult as you know, but fun and wonderful all the same. As mentioned you should read the two books that this forum is based on. At the very least get the audio versions...

    Work is for Slowlaners

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    This very much so. Software Engineering can definitely pay the bills and if you are an avid saver, and live fairly frugally, with the six-figure salary you get as an Engineer and up the chain you will be totally fine in less than 30 years. But the simple life means, financially secure, standard...

    Comparing Work Hours to Other People

    MINDSET RANT 
    Interestingly as a Thought worker (Software Development) so much of my hardest work is done in my head while I sit quietly apparently doing nothing. I might spend long hours, days, weeks, months in some cases, on a very hard problem, not visibly making progress. Then I will finally get it and...

    Work is for Slowlaners

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I consider myself a definite Fastlaner whatever that might really mean. If it means I have the choice to live how I want to live and whether or not I want to work. I am there. If it means I can enjoy the home I want, the car(s) I want, the travel I want. Then I am there. Because literally what I...

    HOT! 
    *I didn't read prior threads in total so if this has been said I apologize I love the forum as is. The discourse is great. I would say that if I could change anything as an owner, I would use my coding powers and incorporate some seriously powerful learning algorithms. I use them to point out...

    Hurricane Irma

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Lost my home to Andrew. I will never forget. I bought it only a few months before. Moved north after that. Will never forget France, Jean, Wlima either. The eyes of those all went over our area as well to various degrees! (Boca Raton) I do hope everyone stays safe. This storm is a monster.

    Hurricane Irma

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I am literally in Clermont right now myself. Been through so many hurricanes, each one is unique and different in it's own way. Just be safe. Fortunately we should be spared the worse based on current track. However never underestimate even a tropical storm. These things tend to spawn off small...

    Hurricane Irma

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thank you MJ! So far I am staying in my Orlando home because earlier it looked pretty bad for Boca Raton. Now I probably should have stayed there. However, safe and sound and family is as well. Going to enjoy one last good day at Disney and then wait it out. We appreciate all the prayers and...

    Software Developer Roundtable: Share your tips, tools and strategies

    HOT! 
    I have a decent money system of investing right now. But only because I can fund it well enough. I have a fair amount of property (although a lot in Florida so today not the best day for me as Irma about to it.) I did buy the homes I am living in. No mortgages, but after I got hit badly during...
