    HOT! CHAT 
    I really wish we do more of this here. As a relatively new member, I’ve moved past the honeymoon phase on this forum and now see the true nature of the toxicity and pointless rage that some people engage in that changes nothing. All I want to gain is better knowledge in business through...

    Developing Your Personality

    MINDSET 
    From my experience, being heads down, obsessed, and build by yourself can only take you so far. You'll make good progress, but entrepreneurship is encountering and solving problems daily. At some point the problem is bigger than what you're used to. You can still solve those problems by...

    Alex Hormozi. What is your opinion? Mine is (mostly) negative.

    GURUS 
    Got it, and your perspective is valid. What I really wanted to provide is a perspective that it doesn't have to be black and white. I don't worship Hormozi, or anybody. I don't like Elon either. I don't like some of his leadership style. But I choose to like (and apply) his approach in process...

    Alex Hormozi. What is your opinion? Mine is (mostly) negative.

    GURUS 
    I'm sure MJ can provide it if he deems it absolutely necessary here, but why didn't you also question the validity of MJ's business being bought and for how much? MJ providing his credibility is in the same way that Hormozi did, through their books. Let's say Hormozi is juiced and it turns out...

    overcoming the consequences of my decisions or is it too late?

    INTRO 
    I'm also a software engineer and I made just as much in total compensation and I felt "rich". I'm married with 2 kids just like you. I had so much disposable income that whatever gadgets I wanted (Apple products, gaming console, car parts, camera gear) I could buy without hesitation. I achieved...

    Alex Hormozi. What is your opinion? Mine is (mostly) negative.

    GURUS 
    We can sit here and pick apart why Alex Hormozi is a scam and debating on minutiae. Or we can take small and easily reversible (stop running the ad) actions to test if something works. And if it works slightly, iterate on it the next week or two in an A/B test manner. We ran a month long...

    How do you manage knowledge/information

    QUESTION 
    I don't believe you're overthinking it. To me the best solution is the one that produces the results you want. If you're partially getting the results you want, you should iterate on your current solution to make it better. If you're not getting any results, you should scrap what you have and...

    The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.

    HOT! CHAT 
    This comment reaffirms something I've been struggling with. I have two wonderful kids, a 17-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son. My son is just like me. In fact, he's much stronger (mentally) and smarter than I was at his age. I'm able to teach him about hard work, discipline, and...

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    What I love about intermittent fasting is you can ease into it by way of progression. Start out with 14/10, then work your way to 16/8, and see how far you can shrink the eating window. That's how I started and now I can easily do one meal a day (24 hour fast).

    You don’t need more friends right now

    MINDSET 
    I love this. You found that voice, that calling, that reinforcement that consistently gives you the results you expect. You've found your general input to output formula that you trust because its tried and true. My formula is to always do something hard. Put two things side by side and I will...

    My challenge with books

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    A lot of self help books, from my experience, has a lot of fillers and a sprinkle of core concepts that are helpful. The more of them I read, the better I am at recognizing fluff. It's a mind muscle I've developed with reading and I've gotten better at it. I do not read books from end to end...

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    I love the flywheel concept. I don't disagree with anyone here on the concept. I think we all get the point; to continue or accelerate the flywheel's momentum. Leads > Appointments > Sales > Referrals > Leads. This system alone usually doesn't continue the momentum because it's difficult to...

    My full planche achievement that gave me the confidence for entrepreneurship

    HEALTH 
    I really appreciate this. My parents came to the United States as immigrants. I was bullied in grade school because I didn't speak English well. That contributed to my low self esteem and confidence. Hearing that you would definitely work with me is so heart felt because that's the total...

    My full planche achievement that gave me the confidence for entrepreneurship

    HEALTH 
    Achieving the full planche is one of my proudest event. It gave me the final stack of confidence to prove that I can achieve greatness if I commit to something hard for a long time. This process took me under 3 years. It all started from an ACL injury. It required 2 surgeries. After my final...

    It won't Work... But Try it ANYWAYS.

    MINDSET 
    Agreed OP. How I gave myself a mental model is to "stop limiting myself by the ceiling I created, and start building the platform below me to see how high I can go". I don't know how to do that --> Where can I learn how to do that What happens if we run into problem X --> Let's figure out...

    From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    From a software engineer to another, I wanted to drop by to give advice that I hope is helpful. Focus on the core (game play) instead of peripheral aspects like artwork and sound. If I'm to build a plane, I need to first build the engine/propeller. Get it to fly even for a few feet, then...
