    Will AI end advertising as we know it?

    MARKETING 
    Most people would be, if they understood the direction things were going. Let's stop here for a minute. Can you think of any time in history when people said "there should be..." and that by itself created a real change in the course of events? Not really. Even idealistic activists had to...

    Harvard Business Review finds exactly what makes certain images/posts go viral. Findings inside.

    MARKETING 
    Yes. It's a good rule of thumb to not read too much explanation into descriptive findings like this. Interesting findings, absolutely. Just be cautious in jumping from "people did ABC when XYZ" to "we need to do XYZ to make ABC happen for us!"

    Any redditors on here? Any suggestions for Fastlane (philosophy)-friendly subreddits to follow?

    Reddit is on my permanent "avoid" list. Too much noise with little signal, and overall a depressing, energy-sucking place.

    How deep does this "FAKE GURU" market actually go?

    HOT! 
    It's almost always when I read a book that was published more than 30 years ago. Which is where I try to spend most of my reading time these days.

    Essential supplements: Which ones do you take?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I found out the hard way that about 98% of my life-time struggle with depressive feelings is due to omega-3 deficiency. If I drop it for more than about 10 days at a stretch, I get a feeling that I can only describe as my soul rotting from the inside while being eaten by carnivorous worms. 4-6...

    Does Every Multimillionaire / Billionaire Lose Touch With Reality?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    What is most surprising to me is that there are people who are surprised to learn that human beings are often fallible, contradictory, unreliable, two-faced, self-deceived, self-absorbed, and in general do not behave as the rules of formal logic would predict. What would ever give you (anyone)...

    How deep does this "FAKE GURU" market actually go?

    HOT! 
    Funny you say that right now, as I just finished saying the same thing in my testimonial for Steve's group. This is exactly why I was so confused when I first found Jay Abraham. I knew he charged $25K for a consultation, and here he is giving away more stuff for free than most business gurus...

    [The Path] Advanced Coaching for Entrepreneurs

    MARKETPLACE 
    If it's under $300 and you pitch it to me, I'll probably buy it. No, no, I don't mean that Steve is pitching crap! Let me explain. This is easily the best $200 that I've ever spent on a business product. In fact I've spent 10x that for a fraction of the value I got out of this program. Even...

    How deep does this "FAKE GURU" market actually go?

    HOT! 
    This is the secret, here. Over the last 2 years I have read I don't even remember how many business books to get a feel for the territory. If an author says something that hits me in the gut, I trust that feeling and I'll follow it down the rabbit hole for a few steps. At the minimum a book...

    Shared Hosting vs. VPS - How do I deliver the problem/solution?

    Got ya. I'd be interested to see a progress thread on this just to keep tabs on where you're at with it all, and I can't be the only one.

    Shared Hosting vs. VPS - How do I deliver the problem/solution?

    Right, that is what I was trying to get into. No worries about perceived rudeness, friend. It's all the internet and tone is easy to miss in exchanges. I'm honestly just trying to see where you're coming from here, because what you're saying is very interesting, and I am thinking more, Who is...

    Shared Hosting vs. VPS - How do I deliver the problem/solution?

    Sure, this wasn't ever in question. Whatever kind of "but why don't they care about my terabytes?" nightmares occupy the marketing-virginal web-dev crowd isn't the interesting issue here. I was thinking more, what does a viable alternative look like that can fill more or less the same niche...

    Thoughts on "Crushing It" - Gary Vaynerchuk (2018)?

    Gary is pushing a "be everywhere" strategy on social media. The book (I'm going on memory here and I read it several months ago, so be mindful) works through a series of principles and strategies for building a personal brand. There are case studies in each chapter which mean to show how this...

    Shared Hosting vs. VPS - How do I deliver the problem/solution?

    I like where you're going here. I'm not officially a 'tech guy' myself, more just a dabbler who tries to stay enough in the loop that I'm not using tables for layouts 5 years after everybody else realized that CSS exists. Serverless looks like the trend. But since it isn't my main focus and...

    Shared Hosting vs. VPS - How do I deliver the problem/solution?

    This is a nut I've been trying to crack lately. Cost really shouldn't be a factor anymore since you can go over to DIgitalOcean or Vultr and spin up a fresh server which is more than enough for a Wordpress install for $5 a month. For $20-80 a month you can lease some beastly horsepower. The...

    The Morality of Achievement

    MINDSET 
    It would be better if people stopped thinking this way. Two reasons why: 1. The word "morality" never has a clear meaning when it is used this way. I know what it means to talk about morality when you say that you shouldn't kick homeless people in the street, or when you speak of someone who...

    Some thread cross-pollination might bear fruit here: FEATURED! - Author spent 5 years interviewing 177 selfmade millionaires to find their secrets. Findings inside. As you scroll through the columns, notice what the successful people tend to do that the not-successful people don't. Then ask...

    Author spent 5 years interviewing 177 selfmade millionaires to find their secrets. Findings inside.

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    There are some gems here in the patterns on 'rich people' side. It's even more interesting to look at the contrast between the two.

    Building a SaaS based on Wordpress?

    HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Hi @SparksCW Can you say a little more about what the application is for? Don't give away any specifics if that's sensitive information, but it would help to know more about what you've got in mind. For some of the reasons already mentioned, WP can be limiting. My biggest concerns would be...

    Is goal setting B#LLSH@t?!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I find it weird to separate the two. Actions without some end in mind aren't really actions. That's just mindless behavior. Movement. Goals without actions aren't really goals, they're just fantasies. Is there a genuine question here, or is this one of those things people like to argue about...
