    Just curious, why did you decline? Wouldn't a 10 minute conversation with someone who has had success in business be valuable? I'm not judging you or condemning your decision, I just want to know what y0ur reasons are if you don't mind sharing.

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    When I originally moved to AZ, I loved it. Now I hate it. I want the benefits of the fantastic temperature buffer that is the ocean.

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Look at all of these America-hating Celsius users. F doesn't stand for Fahrenheit, it stands for Freedom. (I'm joking)

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    I posted a lighthearted GIF meant to be funny. Asking someone about net profit when they make a snide remark about "others getting richer and richer" is not bitterness. It's a very simple and logical response. Envious of what? Should I ask my bank how much "more than last year and less than...

    Pallet Flipping

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm pretty sure he's feigning skepticism while trying to sell the course here. 90% of what he has said either defends it or sounds like a shitty sales pitch for it. Every time someone points to a reason not to buy it, he makes a rebuttal in favor of the course. I'm very open to being wrong but...

    Definitely a scam. If he was printing money with this process, then he wouldn't be sharing it with people. This is the primary reason you can't search for a money making formula -- if it exists, it's either bullshit or saturated. If you stumble upon something where the math works out and you...

    Is doing MBA worth it ?

    SLOWLANE FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    I did one semester of an MBA program and it was laughably pathetic. My first lecture in some econ class, the professor went around the room to get an understanding of our backgrounds. When I told him I have an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics, he told me to see him after class...

    How did you get out of action faking?

    QUESTION 
    While reading for the purpose of learning is objectively better than playing video games, it is subject to massive diminishing returns. There are very few things to understand to get started in business. You can master the details as they come up. The shortest path between any two points is a...

    My parents don't allow me to start my side hustle - What would you do if you were in my situation?

    QUESTION 
    Then: 1. Keep your grades up and ask them for their blessing on your side hustle as long as it doesn't negatively impact your grades. Tell them you will quit it immediately if your grades drop. 2. Keep your grades up and do the side hustle anyway. 3. Keep your grades up and study web development...

    Law of Effection & Commandment of Need

    IDEA 
    I would say art has a Need score of 0 but has plenty of successful businesses around it. I think Control = 0 is the only one than can effectively wipe out the business. In reality, my equation is probably an oversimplification anyway.

    Law of Effection & Commandment of Need

    IDEA 
    I would say Control is the most important for the following reason: C(E+N+T+S) Control represents the final multiplier of the sum of the other 4. The reason being is that if you create a business that has perfect scores in Entry, Need, Time, and Scale but you only own 10% of the business, then...

    What would be some good ways going about making an E-Commerce website?

    This is exactly what I meant to include in my response: worry about the 8 figure control leverage problems when you reach 8 figures.

    MJ either agrees with my full stance on the book or he agrees that it is an action fake after reading his. Either way, you're not losing anything by avoiding the book and your time is better spent taking action. I'm glad you found value in my response!

    It works, but it's very shortsighted. It's similar to prioritizing shareholders over customers: it makes more money in the short term at a huge loss in the long term. I've definitely watched videos with fabricated thumbnails so it got a view. But then I blocked the channel entirely.

    What do you think of Rich Dad Poor Dad?

    HOT! BOOKS 
    I guess I'm in the minority here but after I finished reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", I thought it was trash. And no, I'm not exaggerating for shock value or humor. 99% of the book was irrelevant stories to reach a sell-able page number threshold and the remaining 1% was common sense conclusions...
