    Exiting the cubicle farm and taking Web-Design full time

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Hey all! This is it! My first progress thread! I'm a FWS student, having joined back in may, and I'm on the cusp of going from portfolio work to full-time client work this month. It's sort of been hell, I was struggling with overtime at my dayjob, so I started waking up at 4:30am everyday to...

    I start my idea today (eCommerce + POD)

    HOT! IDEA 
    Bookmarked. I keep seeing people that have stepped up to the plate and who've made swings at businesses say that you get hit by "entreprenurial heroin" at some point... and that that coupled with an FTE can just demolish any obstacles in your way. I know you stated you had beforehand knowledge...

    Hey bud! When I can squeeze out the time to work, it's been going pretty well. What I find to be super helpful is being in a student-study/work group, where we're all on a similar level and facing similar challenges. I'm still in the portfolio stage atm, and it's dragged on a bit because my...

    5 things I wish I had known before becoming self-employed

    INTRO 
    Hey mark, thanks for posting! Two questions: 1) You mentioned that one should expect to work 50-80 hours a week, do you mind sharing what industry you're freelancing in? 2) You mentioned taxes doubling from 7 to 15 percent, on which income? The average american can usually expect to pay 24%...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just got mine in today. I won't give away too much, but I really appreciated the way you dived in by challenging both the script, but also mediocre comfort right in the beginning. It's something I personally fell back into after being ravaged by a month and a half of overtime workweeks and my...

    Switching from night owl to early bird

    HEALTH 
    Hey man, thanks for positing this question! I used to be an incorrigible night owl. At one point, I would stay up until about 5am for a good year or two (terrible for your health). At it's worst, I had no schedule and would just sleep 4 hours later than I did the day before. I eventually...

    Mindset Help

    MINDSET RANT 
    I know this exact feeling that you're talking about. Two questions: 1) Have you taken an inventory of your self concept, have you consciously noticed how you feel about thoughts of "starting", "doing", or "working"? 2) Do you have ADD? If not, do you waste a lot of time around devices or...

    Any other millennials that are balking at the current state of institutional investment in housing? I thought it was bad enough with the "Open secret" of running rentals, but now that the fed is pumping money directly to Investment firms, it seems like what used to be the normal first step in a...

    Your First 100 Million by Dan Pena

    BOOKS 
    This thread inspired me to waste some time rewatching two dan pena fraud call out vids. I'm surprised to see him discussed so earnestly back in the beginning of the thread, and even into 2015/16 View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hspdh4ZskgQ View...

    Finally took the plunge. I hate, hate, HATE spending money, but if FSL delivers on even half of what it promises, then it's still a win in my book. I bit and finally started on it this evening. Looking forward to meeting up with some of the other posters from this thread, and someday soon...

    How to destroy ego, complacency and back-patting?

    MINDSET 
    So it seems like you put in effort, but when you look around, you still seem to be in the same place? Do you remember the "Desert of desertion" that MJ described in unscripted? Again with the effort; you're doing things, which is GREAT, but you keep checking to see how far you've moved without...

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Just started yesterday. Comes off like "the secret to selling anything" so far, which isn't a problem. Sobczak promises a framework of *solid, actionable, step-by-step* advice to help you prospect and start making calls... but making them adroitly and not being another bloatfly in botswana. God...

    What do you do if you find a need but don't know how to fix it?

    So, two points: 1) Usually, the people telling you "learn to code" are amiss and just parroting what they hear in other threads, because it's usually very difficult to code up an MVP when you're not a coder and need to work with specific datasets, needs, and actions in enterprise business...

    Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?

    I sort of like menial work that has a steady workload, because I can zone out and do moving meditation. That being said, there were two jobs that tried to kill my soul. 1) Dishwasher at a pizza place - I will never forget walking out of work looking like a prune; ...or having to clean up the...

    Did you read MJ's new book? You need a co-founder to be successful?

    MINDSET 
    Can we talk about the fact that he went to the profiles of each person that liked MJ's post the other day and called them losers or told them they weren't going to make it? Do we really want someone hanging around that's going to lash out when he makes a small mistake and gets called out on it?
