    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This one nugget alone has helped me make difficult decisions. Most people live as though time were infinite and money scarce, when it's actually the opposite. The other thing worth noting is that your actions today, how you spend your time today, affects how you'll spend your time 5, 10, 20...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    I got it from The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, which was his first book I believe. A very important concept, it changed the way I view success.

    8 Steps That Will Radically Change Your Life in 30 Days or Less, Guaranteed.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    @Jak - Yeah, it's been hard for me my entire life, even when I was a kid. My mom used to have the hardest time getting me out of bed. Willpower isn't enough for me, because I have none early in the morning. I have put together a system, a series of mechanisms, that I will begin tonight. I have...

    8 Steps That Will Radically Change Your Life in 30 Days or Less, Guaranteed.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I'll admit that I was doing well, and then fell off (actually more like jumped off). I was using a system similar to the spreadsheet called the check system, something I found months earlier. My spreadsheet had exercise for 30 minutes, meditate for 10 minutes, reading, and a few other things...

    On Book Cover Design...

    PUBLISHING 
    I have searched and searched and can't seem to get a clear-cut answer, so I thought I'd go direct to you all and get your input. I am almost to the point of needing a book cover. The two paths are DIY or outsource it to someone else. I already have a strong idea for a cover. The cover is simple...

    GOLD! 
    Yes indeed. One of the barriers of success is what MJ calls The Desert Of Desertion, the place where you are in it but don't have the results yet, the easiest place to throw in the towel. I wonder how many people have given up when they were less than a year away, maybe even a few months, from...

    One of eleven 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda's ever made will go up for auction soon and is expected to fetch around 4 million. For the uninitiated, at the time the Hemi Cuda was one of the fastest street legal car ever made (correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've heard). The one I've always...

    MLM Entry Level Sales Jobs

    I would avoid anything MLM related. If part of your gig will be recruiting other people and you'll make money off their sales, that's an MLM. If they are gunning hard to recruit you, chances are it's not a job you want. You want the sales job that has entry-barriers, which means you will have to...

    MLM Entry Level Sales Jobs

    If I was looking for a sales job right now that didn't require credentials (insurance sales does, as does most medical), I would find a company specializing in green energy/materials solutions. Examples could be windows, HVAC units, lighting. A huge growth industry and not difficult to sell...

    Self-Entitled BMW-Driving Brat Does the Unthinkable...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I doubt that he will work another day in Hollywood. Those who think he will don't understand how Hollywood works. Until you get to the A list (which he's not), there's always someone that can slide right in and take your place. Last I checked, he's an AD, so there's a line of people right behind...

    Here is an interesting angle to consider. This is really making me think: http://worldtruth.tv/nearly-every-mass-shooting-in-the-last-20-years-shares-one-thing-in-common-and-it-isnt-weapons/

    Self-Entitled BMW-Driving Brat Does the Unthinkable...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There is definitely a price to pay for knowing the truth. Most people go through life with blinders over their eyes, their ears plugged with cotton. I've always been a truth seeker, even if it makes me uncomfortable for a while, because I know that once I make it past that feeling, my life will...

    Self-Entitled BMW-Driving Brat Does the Unthinkable...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I grabbed this off of Yahoo's story: "Richard Martinez said his son Christopher Ross Michael-Martinez, 20, was killed in the shooting. He blamed politicians and gun-rights proponents." Classic, it's just sad how predictable the herd mentality has become. I feel bad for what the families are...

    Exactly. If I ever have kids, I'll tell them to start a business, even if they're just mowing yards or selling lemonade. They'll not only learn responsibility, they'll also learn how to run a business.

    That's the paradox: the more you care about getting laid, the less it will actually happen. Hence why so many lowlife scumbags get laid.

    In this case, what will The Herd blame? Guns. It's never shitty parenting, it's always something else: guns, video games, heavy metal/rap, movies, porn, alcohol/drugs, money, bad friends, books. Those are all symptoms of the problem, not the problem. The scapegoat seems to change from time to...

    EXECUTION RANT 
    The root of all of this? People want to avoid failing. Most people strive to avoid failing, and as a result, most people don't accomplish anything substantial their entire lives. They want the success formula because they don't want to fail, but failure is where success comes from. If you're not...

    Louis sums it up best. (By the way, a fantastic example of success being a process. Go look into Louis CK's story.)
