    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I started out as a programmer and later (after I couldn't get any traction with my development-based business) learned sales, marketing, and copywriting. Believe me that is the SLOW way to go. Probably cost me 3-5 years. If I had to start over I would focus on marketing. Programming is a...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    In my experience most people blow past this point by at least a few months... often a few years. Many times reading becomes a form of procrastination and/or mental masturbation. The roadside is littered with people who have read all the books and still haven't launched their first business...

    Why Does Sleeping In Just Make Me More Tired?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I can't sleep in. 7am is about as late as I can get. I blame always getting up at 6am to watch Astroboy when I was a kid. Read The Power of Full Engagement by Tony Schwartz if you haven't already. It will help with your energy and motivation issues.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Finding under-utilised assets, gaining ownership/control, and improving/leveraging/flipping is a model that has been around for hundreds of years in every market you can think of... just talking online I know people who do this with youtube channels, facebook pages, websites, domains, info...

    Dropping shipping from China – Chinese EMS any reliable/timeframe of shipping

    It's hit and miss depending on the supplier. Some suppliers are great. Others are horrible. And some good ones turn bad. After ferreting out the bad guys most of our drop shipped stuff gets to the US or Aus in about a week, all sent via EMS. Much of drop shipping is numbers and customer...

    Freelance Copywriting

    EXECUTION 
    Get out of the mindset of being a copywriting and info the mindset of marketing copywriting services... then once you've done that get out of that mindset and into the business of helping people add 0's to their business ;)

    Freelance Copywriting

    EXECUTION 
    Get yourself out in the real world as much as possible. The only thing that really matters is your results. Hand-copying letters and other writing exercises are helpful in learning your craft but they are a LONG way from what it's like to actually have a real world project and blank page on...

    Not everyone starts acting early... http://www.imdb.com/list/ls056459095/ But more important than all this navel gazing is what are you doing to grow your acting business? Sent from my iPhone using magic.

    Holy crap. Based on the thread title I was expecting you to be at least 50+. I've had people in their 60's at my seminars who are just now getting around to going after their dreams! Yes when you choose to look at young people they will all tend to be young ;) Some real life data for you...

    Process Thread: Learn Copywriting

    EXECUTION 
    Dude. 5 months. Write a salesletter. You don't know how much you don't know until you sit down and try to write one :) And the more you read and study from different sources the more confusing it becomes. Put the books aside. Pick one copywriting mentor. Preferably one whose style you...

    how much reading before action

    I think you missed the point. It's everything that happened before the idea that enables someone to do $50k in 30 days. It's rarely the idea but your ability to execute the idea that matters. And you only get that ability by getting in the game and getting roughed up a bit :) As for the...

    How do grades affect your life

    HOT! 
    Again this is a nice theory but doesn't play out in the real world... He then goes on to say the reason people continue to tell children they won't be successful if they have a good grade point average is because these people are themselves not financially successful so they have no idea...

    How do grades affect your life

    HOT! 
    ... then he dropped out of Harvard and started a business, making his grades meaningless. I'm not saying getting good grades is a bad thing, or that all people who get bad grades go on to become successful. But when you've got kids killing themselves because of bad grades in high school a...

    Even Dane Maxwell Would Be Amazed - Creating A SaaS Business with NO Money Like In The Foundation

    SAAS / APPS 
    This. The office manager is key. They are in charge of all the day to day stuff and are the ones dealing with most of the problems. The doctors themselves are often pretty clueless and never have any time to talk anyway.

    How do grades affect your life

    HOT! 
    I didn't go to college but saw the same thing above play out with friends... many only went because it was the "right" thing to do, pressure from peers/parents, expectations etc. Their heart wasn't in it so they slacked off. Or they were too busy chasing girls. Had nothing to do with their...

    How do grades affect your life

    HOT! 
    Nice theory but it doesn't play out like that in the real world. There are a lot of reasons intelligent people get bad grades, from simple ones like boredom, to deeper psychological things like perfectionism and internal pressure, or simple personality differences. You say "If you're going to...

    Quit my Job. Starting My First eCommerce Business.

    EXECUTION 
    Depends. Every business model out there has it's share of people who failed at it who are more than happy to tell you it's not the right way to go. My experience is every model can work if you learn how to work it. e.g. We launched a drop shipping website about 3 months ago. Brand new...

    Is it time for a new CMS platform?

    Define "suck". The problem is everyone defines it differently. "If you build it they will come" is not a good business plan :) You need to get a lot clearer on exactly who the target market is and the problem you're solving. There are plenty of options for what you're proposing here...
