    Action faking, negativity, I need advice

    MINDSET 
    I used to study in Denmark, which was a great learning environment with plenty of practical work and plenty of real-world opportunities. Several people from my class are relatively successful entrepreneurs. I would go to university AND build a business. Do both. I'd argue that if you can only...

    Am I making toothpaste?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Do your math first. As others said, toothpaste costs $1 to $3 at any store. $5 is already premium or "healthy." It works for them because the volume is huge. Not saying it's impossible, you might have an angle that convinces people to pay way above average price, but do the math before...

    MJ should I go university?

    HOT! INTRO 
    I was also once about 20 years old and working manual labor, then I went to university and I'm glad I did. Not because it shaped my career/business, but simply the environmental change was enough to benefit me, Before I was surrounded by 40+ year old losers who hated their lives, wives...

    The Biggest Issue with Coffee Is...

    HOT! IDEA FEEDBACK 
    What helps me quite is knowing this: - You have limited metabolic energy (ATP) and neurotransmitter reserves. - Caffeine accelerates their use by reducing fatigue signals and increasing output. - This can make you burn through resources faster, leading to the crash. In simple words, coffee...

    The Biggest Issue with Coffee Is...

    HOT! IDEA FEEDBACK 
    That was my problem. The first kick is always amazing. I wanted more, but the more you drink it, the more tolerance is developed. It's a vicous cycle, so I now tell people who haven't tried coffee to not even try. Also, coffee doesn't actually create more focus or energy; it just forces your...

    The Biggest Issue with Coffee Is...

    HOT! IDEA FEEDBACK 
    Coffee is a scam. Not even joking. It's insane how many people rely on it daily. It's basically a drug. I have been drinking coffee for years, but luckily, moving to a new place has helped me stop the habit - and guess what - I'm totally fine and work out harder than ever before. Living...

    Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Self-Defense Systems - What Do You Practice?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Prices differ depending on where you go, hotspots would be Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, but also Krabi, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui. In Phuket, there's a "fitness street", it's literally a street of Muay Thai and regular gyms, restaurants that focus on high-protein foods, fight shops, etc...

    Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Self-Defense Systems - What Do You Practice?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    It can actually be quite chill, really depends on the gym. I'm at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket - very popular, big gym that has lots of tourists visiting. The cardio requirement is high, but in beginner classes, that's basically it; sparring is super light, and most have 0 to minimal experience...

    Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Self-Defense Systems - What Do You Practice?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Just started training at a Muay Thai camp in Phuket. So far - an amazing decision. I really had gotten too comfortable. Now, being in an environment where everyone is driven and working their a$$ off is inspiring. Regarding the training itself, it's super hard - it's hot, humid, and requires a...

    How to avoid taxes?

    IDEA 
    I think a good question to ask yourself is: "Do I make enough for this to be a concern?" I used to explore no/less tax options too, but realized paying too much tax was not the real problem, making low 4 figures was. Now, I'm just paying an accountant who helps me legally lower my taxes (basic...

    "Drop the Fastlane, Do reselling"

    IDEA 
    Honestly, I don't have a personal track record; I'm just a marketing freelance guy who's seen this play out 100s of times, and still delaying the launch of my own brand. High margins/low volume and low margins/high volume can both work. What I mean by nailing your unit economics is doing the...

    "Drop the Fastlane, Do reselling"

    IDEA 
    Really depends on the product, but generally, you would gain a competitive advantage by having unique features. E.g. you want to sell protein powder. Your options are: 1. Become a reseller for any of the existing brands - easy to set up, but the margins are tiny, and you've got competition...

    "Drop the Fastlane, Do reselling"

    IDEA 
    Most businesses are "reselling", just with a few extra steps added (unless you manufacture the products yourself). - You buy a product in bulk, re-label it, re-package it, re-brand it, and "resell". Most ecommerce products comes from the same sources, just with different labels. Or - you buy...

    Business full time or part time

    INTRO 
    Get a job, so you don't have to worry about covering basic needs, and start a business, do both. Unlikely, the business will start generating profit from day one. Just start whatever comes to mind; you'll fail lots and lots, but that will give you lessons on what success means and how to...

    MARKETING WEB DESIGN 
    Nothing personal, but your website doesn't say that. Reviews may be legit, but how would anyone know? "I just made $X - member" - where's the proof? How do I know the "member" is not you writing your own reviews? One of my clients had been around for a decade, and they publicly displayed their...

    I've worked with lots of people in crypto/trading, so here are a few: 1. "Unique tech no one else has", yet your page looks like it was made 20 years ago. Get a template like this: Coinvault - Webflow HTML website template (just an example, check Webflow templates in general). Can't have "tech...

    Dan Martell's online mentorship course

    GURUS 
    I'd check out mentorcruise.com instead; it's less commitment, and you can pick from 100s, if not 1000s, of mentors. "Mindset videos" and "reflection templates" - cringe, that is abundant and costs nothing. "Online community" - you're in one and it's not even trying to sell you anything...

    AI NSFW content and Commission

    - AI - 
    All you need is a checkbox that says: "This service is only available to adults over the age of 18. Please confirm your age." If they click "confirm", you're good. The rest mainly revolves around your personal ethics. Just to be extra safe, don't do anything based on real person photos.

    Selling my Dropservicing Course on Tiktok - Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    I think it actually makes sense here. If he had the "perfect" script, Airbnb penthouse background, etc., it would be an instant red flag - "it's a scam". Here, he defuses that by being super casual. It's not a "BUY IT OR BE MEDIOCRE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE", but more like: "Here's a thing...
