    To Side Hustle or Not

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Personally, I don't believe a college degree does much in terms of entrepreneurship. Traditionally, it is a piece of paper you get to help you get a job. Not to say you shouldn't pursue it. As I don't think that's anyone's place on this forum to make that call for you. However, I would not...

    You Might Not Be A True Entrepreneur If...

    Always kind of interesting how the title is so important to people. As if being labeled “entrepreneur” even means anything. If you’re living life on your terms, whatever that looks like for you, why does it even matter if you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or employee. people acting like this...

    I need advice

    I think the biggest struggle with pressure washing is not liking it. It's more of the thoughts "is there a faster way to be doing this than I am". Could I get to freedom in a faster vehicle than pressure washing. That's what steers me to go off in left field looking at other ventures. Especially...

    I need advice

    Good practice, I like this. Currently doing it, but probably going to take me the course of a few days to think on it and really get an answer. I don't currently know something right off that I'm overly "passionate" about. (feel so cringey every time I say that word) Thank you for this

    I need advice

    You are right on many levels here. I'm falling for the trap of the grass is always greener mentality. Trying to shortcut to success essentially. Sometimes I stop and ask myself: "what am I not seeing?", the answer in this instance was: the process of growing this business will teach me many...

    I need advice

    It’s more of along the lines that I can’t grow my pressure washing business and continue income if my sights are set elsewhere. I tend to fall for the grass is greener logic, and I think being bored at home is fueling that fire.

    I need advice

    Hi everyone, I am currently running my pressure washing company and it has been slowing down slightly. On top of being a little bored with the world being shut-down, I've started to set my sights on other things. I've come to realize I really want to get into real estate long term, as pressure...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    http://www.bluedotlandscaping.com/grounds_maintenance.htm Here is just a brief example of what I am talking about. Most of these guys have such outdated websites that it hurts to look at them. I would give them a call and say you would love to redo their website for them. Maybe, if you are...

    What do you think is the most important skill?

    MINDSET 
    What do you think is the #1 most important skill to be successful? I get it, “success takes more than just 1 skill”, but if you had to choose 1 that you deem the most important what would it be? I think the most important is effective communication skills

    Web development path

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    One thing I would suggest: I own a pressure washing company, and when looking around at my competitors, most of their websites suck! If I were a web designer I would go around to blue collar business industries and try to redo their website, as most of them are not technologically inclined...

    Why do I get excited by ideas quickly but don't follow through?

    IDEA HEALTH 
    It’s kind of along the lines of you build the habits. Michael Jordan has a saying “don’t ever quit because then you build the habit of quitting”. I’ve personally noticed the benefits in my life of the philosophy of how you do one thing is how you do everything. Your brain is a muscle, and the...

    Why do I get excited by ideas quickly but don't follow through?

    IDEA HEALTH 
    As someone who used to struggle with this myself, it was important for me to build the discipline initially to commit these acts. How I built my discipline: How you do one thing is how you do everything. You are lazy about going to the gym, so it carries over into the rest of your life etc...

    The Epiphany That Can Change Your Life

    MINDSET 
    To add, the main principle of the book was to fix the desire to smoke, as most people who quit with "willpower" never address the desire to smoke, therefore commonly leading to relapse. So to carry that principle over, I addressed what was making me desire to play video games. Then addressed...

    The Epiphany That Can Change Your Life

    MINDSET 
    This is the one part I wish I had an answer for. I do not know what makes something go from conscious knowing, to an actual belief. Sometimes I think it is by proving it to ourselves in one area, that then allows it to become a belief for other areas. So in this example, I saw how it helped me...

    How to quit video games

    MINDSET 
    Great points, I appreciate the pointers. I notice the cravings pop up more recently as being "quarantined" leads me to knowing less of a direction to move in. I mainly feel as if I should be more busy though and tend to start beating myself up for "wasting time" on rabbit holes like video...

    Fastlaners, I need help. I find myself binging on video games way too much. I currently own a pressure washing company, and do pretty well, but am not doing as much as I know I could be doing. How have you guys gotten rid of distractions from your life, and removed time-wasting rabbit holes...
