    I'm dumbfounded by how people think you get jobs now. Basically, your mom posts in a Facebook group that you need a job. It should pay $100/hr, should work around your schedule, and should allow you to bring your 3-year-old to work with you in the event it's not WFH. Employers should want you...

    Compliments Three people told me I have heavy kicks this week. One was my coach. The other two were fighters. Injury Last Wed. I nearly broke my ankle landing kicks into elbows and shins. Had a big lump on my leg. After a week, it's healing, but there's still a lump and it's still tender. I...

    Need New Shin Guards I asked coach why I get so jacked up throwing kicks. I hit elbows and knees and basically break my legs. He said my shin guards are shit and offered a recommendation for better ones. Guess I'm ordering new shin guards. Understanding My Range Apparently, I chase people too...

    From Burnout Freelancer to Thriving CEO: How I Built a $120000 Business Against All Odds

    INTRO 
    Bro, you're still a struggling freelancer. Let's not pretend this is some brilliant success story. $120k divided among even two people is a low middle-class income at best... This thread is your lazy attempt to advertise your freelance digital marketing agency, nothing more. The portfolio...

    The Etsy MEGA Thread... Best Practices, Use, Etc.

    HOT! 
    Without knowing what your product is, how could we give you an answer? The best way to get the answer you need is to publish your products and find out. In my case, I created one product, and changed the main image for each product and it was fine.

    EXECUTION 
    Look at XYZ store, if they've got pages and pages of products, they're making money. If they sponsor their products, they're making money. That's as far as Etsy research needs to go. In the end, they're ALL shiny objects, and there are NO guarantees. This is the lowest possible risk way to...

    Starting a Part-Time Property Management Company-RJayTeel Property Management Post 1

    REAL ESTATE 
    @RyanJDenman Any updates on this? I've been curious about property management since I turned my one home into a rental. My property mgt company takes 10% of the $1,500 lease payment (so $150). After the mortgage is paid, I keep just over $400. It took approximately 2.5 months for the...

    EXECUTION 
    Etsy is a good choice so long as you avoid violating their terms. Look for products that solve actual problems that a lot of people need, and make sure you can create 50+ (ideally 100+) listings. Start with Etsy ads before Google ads because they're way more simple. Ravens_Shadow already gave...

    I don't see it as either or; I'm simplifying my responses so I don't end up in long-winded defenses. I'm a 37 year old adult with a reasonably high degree of self-awareness, capable of monitoring how my body and mind feel and making decisions about how much I can train and when I should rest...

    I appreciate the concern for potential physical injuries. I'm not discounting what you guys are saying. I agree that injuries can, do, and will happen. At the same time, I understand the risks, and... I choose risk. And when this is me someday... And you guys are still telling me I should...

    Martial arts is completely different from combat sports. I like combat sports because I get to test my physical limits against other human beings. Yes, there will be injuries regardless of age. My worst injury happened around the end of my first month and was due to inexperience in jiu-jitsu. I...
