    I dabble but am not good at committing. Also, I did like Vegan Before 6, but I avoid soy since I'm a female of a certain age. Appetite for Reduction by Moskowitz and Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen by Klein are going to be my go to's this year. I have a lot of the Thug Kitchen cookbooks and will...

    What will you accomplish in 2019?

    EXECUTION 
    Publish 3 works of fiction, finish setting up my 50 domains and document processes, outsource the content creation, exercise at least 4-5 times a week. And continue planting and using stuff from my backyard veggie garden, planning tomorrow at the end of today, walking daily. I will stop spending...

    Netflix Termination Culture

    PEOPLE 
    It's definitely prevalent. Cisco is quite open with their policy to get rid of 10% every year. And it's been in place over 15 years. I do think companies lose their edge if they don't retain good workers. It's not always about the individual but also how well the team gels. If you get rid of...

    Did anyone else screw up in business so bad that they are stuck in the slowlane?

    SLOWLANE 
    I'm still in big credit card debt and have been looking for a job to get it paid off while still working on one business model. It happens.

    How do you stop hating yourself?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Keep a gratitude journal to remind yourself of all the awesome in your life. Limit yourself to three things you HAVE to get done each day and then make sure you do them. You can do more, but make sure you do the three big ones. Then you'll start to feel momentum. Focus on one thing until...

    Anyone subscribe to The Wall Street Journal?

    I worked in the tech dept of a major newspaper group and I'm with you on that. However, the WSJ has a lot of interesting articles that I enjoy. And movie reviews. My subscription is online only. Why do I like it? I can always find something interesting or thought provoking and don't feel...

    Should I keep grinding or find more work? (Need advice)

    I'm in the same boat. I've been working steadily and trying different things and think I have the key but I need to find a job to pay off the credit card debt (whoops) while I keep focusing on one business model. We all have to learn hard lessons. The key is what you do with it. I'm trying to...

    Any Fastlaners in Glasgow, Scotland?

    MEETUPS 
    One of my close childhood friends is. She hasn't read the books yet but only because she probably doesn't know about them. She's out visiting her Dad and I'll recommend the books. Heck, I should buy them for her. She teaches using social media and canva to companies and recently set up a...

    Convince me to Not Buy a Home

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I could tell you about potholes, about the incredible closed-minded people (agree with me or else), the actual costs of sanctuary cities and "undocumented workers." The people who vote for Bond Issues thinking they're making things wonderful when they're raising taxes. Then they move because...

    I know!!!!! I was born & raised here and still wonder what the heck happened. Some day I'll escape and pray people in another state don't discriminate against me because I came from California.

    Convince me to Not Buy a Home

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I'm happy I bought my house for similar reasons (noise). But you wanted the negatives. You're responsible for paying for everything. Leaky pipe in the wall? the plumber charges you to open a hole, repair it, and then you need to find someone else to repair the dry wall and paint. You pay...

    My daughter got her first job by going into a place with a help wanted sign. It was a locally owned small business and she got the job. If there's a place near you that you like going to (i.e. Office Depot, etc.), then go in and talk with them directly. I know they try to push you to apply...

    I've been a loser now I MUST find a solution! Any advice?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I got my BS/EE in 89 because my parents told me I should get an engineering degree because I was "good" at science and math. I've been hobbying my own business since '99, and am finally working on turning it into a business these past two years. So it's all a process. Should you finish the...

    Embarrassing posts on various forums using real name.

    Is it possible to log into those forums and change the user name? I have no suggestions for the wikipedia edits. I guess he could do an end run and make a blog post saying he was 13 and knows more now and apologizes for his indiscretions and has learned so much in the past xx years and looks...

    Hello from Silicon Valley

    INTRO 
    I'm just this gal, y'know. I had more excuses than pennies in the bank. My biggest problem was getting in my own way. I kept seeing other people succeed and thinking "I'm way smarter than they are...why am I sucking so badly?" So I've given up my brain. Just kidding. I bought the ebook when...
