    Finally, I cannot afford next month’s due.

    MINDSET RANT 
    I believe I generally have the same mentality, which is why I worked for about $500 a month for over a year, not quitting. However, at some point, it can turn into delusionally torturing yourself. I had this idea that: "just because I grind so relentlessly, it will work at some point", and it...

    Finally, I cannot afford next month’s due.

    MINDSET RANT 
    I quit university right before the final exam (which I could easily do without any preparation), so I would be "motivated" just like you. It would be too painful to fail and too embarrassing to ask the university to accept me back and let me finish my degree. My example was a rapper (forgot...

    My Ads Guy Makes $42,000 Per Month Playing With Money. I'm in the Wrong Business

    QUESTION 
    I wish I had a better answer but I don't think there's ever a 100% safe bet. Most of the clients we had in that agency got a positive return, those who didn't could be at least partly blamed - they didn't/couldn't help with content creation, wouldn't implement any of our suggestions in their...

    My Ads Guy Makes $42,000 Per Month Playing With Money. I'm in the Wrong Business

    QUESTION 
    Cool! That explains it, content creation is the most time and money intensive part. That's an impressive return, congrats!

    My Ads Guy Makes $42,000 Per Month Playing With Money. I'm in the Wrong Business

    QUESTION 
    I recently spent about 6 months in an agency specializing in paid advertising for e-commerce brands. It's tough. Sure, maybe they weren't #1 globally, but the backend process is so much more than - taking a picture, adding some graphics, 2 lines of copy, interests - whatever is relevant to the...

    Is the Law Of Attraction real?

    MINDSET 
    I believe this in a much deeper sense, I believe the entire Universe is mental. I even dare to say I understand not believe it. For example, you can choose not to believe in gravity, jump off a bridge and you'll still hit the river/ground/whatever is underneath. RAS (reticular activation...

    Read Millionaire Fast lane.. 4 years later, I now host my own podcast helping other inventors bring their products to reality! "Invent With Me"

    INTRO 
    I love the concept! There are so many more fishes than sharks, thus a much wider audience to reach, and hey, there's a huge variety in fish species too, so at least for me this doesn't seem like a bunch "not good enough yet". I don't watch podcasts often but this really seems to have a lot of...

    Am I the only one who has lots of browser tabs opened? Time to optimize the web browsing experience.

    IDEA 
    I usually have about 20 tabs open but I have a mental framework. The first tabs on the left - personal projects, the middle tabs - client projects, and the tabs to the right - priorities/in progress, and anything I need to open briefly - the last tab on the right, so it doesn't interrupt my...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    I haven't woken up feeling excited for a looong time, and it used to be a problem that I was frustrated with but I've "evolved" since then. Happiness should be a byproduct, not a purpose or a goal. You take meaningful actions to create the impact you believe is necessary, and you may receive...

    Tinnitus thread

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I can't even remember when I didn't have it (at least a decade, but likely longer). Honestly, just learn to accept it. There is no cure and the sooner you accept it, the better. Does it suck sometimes? Sure. But I'd rather have it sometimes distract me as background noise than be desperate and...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't disagree, but 300g of lentils is quite a lot and only a third of the needed amount. My point was - to embrace the innovation and eat vegan "meats". Cutting as a vegan is just as hard as on any other diet. Switch grains with legumes (still decent for carbs but higher protein, e.g...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I'm a vegan aiming for 4000 calories and 200g of protein. I've tried all kinds of variations, but honestly, life gets so much easier if you eat some processed foods - tofu, plant-based patties, and protein powder. I don't get why it's not the first recommendation when it comes to protein, get a...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't want to go into a long discussion about it but what's your point? Of course, plants have protective features - sour taste, spikes, poison, horrible smell, density, etc. But don't animals have those too, and wouldn't you say it's more obvious to eat non-poisonous, good-tasting plants...

    How do I decide if I should emigrate and if yes, which country?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I would hate to do that, but if you've got the hustle and charisma, start "marketing/business/money tips, tricks, mindset" channels on Instagram and TikTok. In 2 years, you could have 100K followers who'll start paying you for services or courses from the day you turn 18. Edit: of course...

    How do I decide if I should emigrate and if yes, which country?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Germany is not one of the worst places to build a multi-million business in, likely among the few dozen best. Get real - you are 16, you have no business, so likely little money but you're worrying about which country is the most optimal for building a business worth billions? Make a million...

    Does Anyone Sell Branded Clothing? I Need Insight

    SOURCING 
    There are many POD platforms (print on demand), the most popular being Printful and Printify. You already know the problem, their cost is already high, leaving you with 2 options - tiny markup, tiny profit, decent profit, huge markup. If you have a following, a super specific niche, and...

    I moved to the USA from Europe - it's been a crazy year, but I'm getting the hang of it.

    INTRO 
    I'm from Latvia but have been traveling extensively for periods of 2 - 6 months in a row for the past 4 years. I see your points about Miami and I've heard similar, but I'm not looking for a new "home", I want to try living there for a year, specifically, either in the Downtown or even better...

    I moved to the USA from Europe - it's been a crazy year, but I'm getting the hang of it.

    INTRO 
    I'll have to watch this, considering moving from Europe to the US too (Eastern Europe to Miami, only been to Miami and LA). How many states/cities did you visit before deciding on Florida? It's my top choice too. I spent 2 months in LA and just a week in Miami, but enjoyed Miami a lot more...

    Anybody here start a Supplement brand before?

    MARKETING INVESTING SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'd likely start with custom white-label formulas (currently, I just pick what I want from a standardized list), but yes, I would prefer to make my own products by which I mean - order custom formulas in bulk from a manufacturer not have my own manufacturing facility. I believe it's still...

    Anybody here start a Supplement brand before?

    MARKETING INVESTING SIDE HUSTLE 
    Launching on the 31st (this month), however, I've been super busy with a ton of other projects, so it's a very "soft" launch, and I don't expect much from it. It's not my main or even secondary focus, it's a passion project that I do during my very scarce free time. However, now that it will be...
