    The constant battle with myself.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ninjakid, just remember that although procrastinating is often negative there are a few things that should be perpetually left for "a tomorrow". Dying is one of them. Drinking alcohol is another one. There's always a tomorrow to die, so there's no need to do it today. You are coming from...

    Thank you all. Time for grieving is over; it's now time to act, strengthen by life's last message.

    To you two my friends, who died today.

    MINDSET 
    Today two friends of mine, two heroes, died. Not in a war, not in a car accident, not in a murder. They died for their passion, their relentless search for technological improvement, for what they thought was worth dedicating time, pain, and ultimately even death. Before changing jobs I worked...

    Building a SELF-HELP-EMPIRE from nothing

    EXECUTION 
    Your article on baby boomers is spot on. I have spent so much oxygen trying to explain to people that five to ten years from now the social security bubble will explode, at the same time of the student loan (*) bubble, with potential ripercussions on the credit card bubble. (*) why do I put...

    Building a SELF-HELP-EMPIRE from nothing

    EXECUTION 
    I think you're going to do great, it seems that you have it in you, and I like your perspective. Let me know if I can be of any help somehow. As for Frankl... his book changed my life.

    A pulp writer's tidal wave

    PUBLISHING 
    Wow, thank you for digging up this old thread. Re-reading myself one year ago is somewhat bittersweet. I was going to wait a couple of more weeks before giving an update, but since you ask here's what I can tell you. My novel is dead. The reason? I shot it, and then I buried it. After reading...

    Building a SELF-HELP-EMPIRE from nothing

    EXECUTION 
    I have no doubt about your good intentions, I am sure that you want to provide a great service and help people. Nothing wrong in making money (a ton of it!) doing that. I am just saying that it would be easy to attack your plan on the absence of measurable results. I have Tony Robbins, or Tai...

    I'm 25, went to an Ivy, live in a van in NYC, and read MJ's book.

    Why don't you move to Texas, or Arizona where business is growing and everything costs 1/1000 of NYC?!?

    Building a SELF-HELP-EMPIRE from nothing

    EXECUTION 
    The problem is in the title. You say from "Nothing", and you planned (wisely) what to do to reach the million. The problem is that you yourself admit that you are at the "Nothing" state, so why should I trust your suggestions? as a customer I would think that you're trying to give me suggestions...

    I read it all, I seriously couldn't stand it while reading it. While I agree with the material detachment stuff, I couldn't stand the new ageish tone. It's just me, if you liked it, good. I just can't recommend it to anyone. The Minimalist Mom's book and blog is much better, at least for me. All...

    BOOKS 
    Just to be clear, I have always been a voracious reader, so this is not some sort of self-imposed "goal". The only change is that I reduced fiction big time, in favor of non-fiction. Thanks to Kissinger's book I learned that our concept of "world order" is significantly different than those of...

    These are the books that I've read between Jan 1st 2015 and Sep 30th 2015, hopefully someone will find some useful/intersting title. There is no fiction (I just finished reading the first work of fiction of the year). I will update this list once in a while. Must reads are: Kissinger's...

    Dead broke and clueless

    INTRO 
    Only one suggestion. Don't expect to find your solution on a forum, or in a book, or in any "get rich" program. Use those tools, by all means, but don't expect THE solution. And read, read, read, read, read (non-fiction; if you really need fiction, read short stories before bedtime).

    Dead broke and clueless

    INTRO 
    35 here, no degree, thick foreign accent, heart issues (physical, not romantic), with family of three, and laid off at 33. Got a decent job in a completely different field (government), enrolled in three classes, went back to martial arts, hustling to gain credibility, met an insane amount of...

    If you could ask a government official...

    PEOPLE 
    Pretending to be your State's senator (which I am not!): "That would entail more regulation, you're basically asking for a price cap or even worse for a time limit on private items, which is not entirely legal. That would cause a bad precedent as we would have to apply to other fields and services."

    PEOPLE 
    extremely interesting, and that's what I am talking about. What you're saying is what I mean by helping business, as the fact that your company's growth is constrained is a damage to the community at large (one less job available, less pro-capita income, etc.).
