    Can't Hurt Me: by David Goggins, Review and Discussion

    HOT! 
    Oh I would get this all the time. Inexperienced people need to "feel something" or they don't think it's working. Your trainer has it right -- I never cared to wipe people out, any idiot with a polo shirt and a clipboard can do that. What matters is whether they're still exercising in 6 months...

    Can't Hurt Me: by David Goggins, Review and Discussion

    HOT! 
    Back in my personal-trainer days, I spent some time coaching women's figure and natural bodybuilding competitors. If you'd let them, these girls would be hitting the pavement 3 hours a day, every day, while eating 1000 calories of chicken and broccoli and lifting 6 days a week. I've never seen...

    Progress Thread - End Of Shared Hosting

    EXECUTION 
    Glad you finally put this up. I'm keen to see how this goes for you. Having moved away from the whole cPanel shared hosting mess for VPS services years ago, I can testify that there's no going back. But -- we've discussed this before, and others mention it above -- there's still the question...

    Everything I Learned From Blogging $0 to $15k/month

    EXECUTION 
    Not any that would be helpful, I'm afraid! You're doing really well from SEO alone, which is why I asked. It's good to see that the "SEO is dead" crowd is jumping the gun.

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

    HOT! 
    Funny enough, I'm the exact opposite. Anything that enjoys mainstream popularity sends me running the other direction unless I've got good reason to think otherwise. This thread gives a neat summary of why.

    The buyers and sellers of "how to"

    I struggled with this, a long time ago when I was coaching in the fitness space. It always felt like I was walking a line between two bad options. Do I 'stick to my principles' -- and have hardly any clients, because I'm not using the big-gun marketing tools? Or do I go out and hustle -- and...

    The reason I don't like Think and Grow Rich...

    BOOKS 
    This was my takeaway as well, which is why I'm surprised that so many people have taken the message as literally what's on the cover: just think really hard and you'll have a Scrooge McDuck sack of money fall into your lap. The reason I'm not down on the book is because its message is about...

    Much like a map, if I don't know where you are I can't tell you the best way there.

    The reason I don't like Think and Grow Rich...

    BOOKS 
    Let's assume everything you wrote here is true (I have no reason to doubt it!) Should people stop setting goals and taking action to achieve them? The question isn't rhetorical, and I don't mean it as silly snark. Can you (any generic you) separate ideas and their positive value from the...

    Can't Hurt Me: by David Goggins, Review and Discussion

    HOT! 
    I can't speak for anybody else, but I often find the most interesting things (books, people, ideas...) are those that I don't agree with or even like all that much.

    The quickest way to feel important... and it needs to stop.

    RANT 
    @NewManRising , I think your heart is in the right place, but the way you communicated your point has obviously caused some friction. Why not take that as a good reason to step back, reflect on the feedback, and work on a more patient, considered reply? I know it's easy to get heated -- hey...

    My Rating: 3 (ish) stars out of 5 stars :star::star::star::xx::xx: Format: Epub My thoughts/review: David Goggins reminds me of a guy who stepped out of a Greek myth. His story by itself was interesting enough to keep me going, though I did flag a little during the later chapters. As some...

    Are You Weak? This Exercise Will Show You

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I got in the habit of doing this in the middle of (our) winter. Houses in New Zealand aren't big on this whole "insulation" thing (central heating? LOL) That was some good times.

    What do you guys think of my copywriting ad?

    This is your key pain point. I can relate to walking into a shop and having to wait in line for a small purchase while the guy in front is buying 30 lotto tickets. I can relate to working in retail and having a crowd of impatient customers while you're trying to handle the person your with...

    Will smoking weed make me lazy/hurt my (good) mindset?

    HOT! 
    It's been a real long time since I smoked. The reason why is because when I smoked regularly (this would be pushing 20 years ago) I got lazy, stupid, and a lot fatter. That's not embellishing. I was forgetting basic things. Couldn't follow simple instructions. It's all great fun if you have no...
