    I had wasted three years of my life in finding a freelance client

    MARKETING 
    Try thinking about clients who keep needing work done even after the first round. One-off projects shouldn't be your only aim. That way you can just win a few jobs....but the clients keep coming back to you. For websites-- there are a load of other things they may need help for such as the...

    I had wasted three years of my life in finding a freelance client

    MARKETING 
    This is why it can be a good idea to start the freelancing journey using channels where there are already READY BUYERS. Folks who have to pay up first for every job post. See @Lex DeVille 's threads on Upwork. Sure, such places are competitive. But the benefits of an active marketplace is that...

    Is reading pirated books ethical?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Now there's online libraries-- I think I still keep my Scribd subscription although I have not read anything there for some time. But honestly, there is a fine line between free books on pirated sites...and library books? What gives libraries (online ones especially) better legitimacy than...

    Why don't you give me your money? Because I am a victim and you are rich!!

    Thanks for sharing, DarkKnight. Good to hear you've come a long way! I think its pretty unfair for natives to pass the blame of subpar housing policies onto immigrants-- immigrants themselves can be great sources of brain power to boost innovation. That's what went right for immigrant-friendly...

    Really, really HATE my own country Malaysia... Stock market F*cked over in the a$$ even though we have perfectly good companies with choice commodities or products...a government that swaps policies left and right (eg lifting price caps for chicken and eggs before quitting it a few days...

    The trading subreddits have turned to shit as well. Just overused memes or bland DD posts with wrong interpretations of charts and FAs. A few good ones like r/OptionsMillionaire have secluded themselves in private Discords. Martin Skhreli recently returned to r/WSB after he got released...

    Most of the inflation is from the cost side of stuck supply chains...so now everyone is backtracking the China tariffs bit by bit so that Chinese deliveries can fire up. Which means the trade wars were just a HUGE waste of time-- no matter what anyone hates about China.

    It's all about your priorities at the moment...are you working to get out of poverty? Or working to get to the next level? And that was what I was trying to say...Dalio now has the chops. So he can afford to work to make his industry richer-- not just for self-survival. Maslow's hierarchy...

    Not really nonsense from Dalio. He's just been in the investment field for so long...till he mastered the ropes and built up enough so he isn't one salary away from poverty. Mastery. So now that he's a real player of the game now, he can find satisfaction in solving problems and breaking new...

    When I first saw the companies on the top of the ESG lists, I wondered if I was looking at a mirror of the SPY index constituents lol. I only started hearing about ESG from last year....the goons used the pandemic to push their idealistic rubbish. And turns out, there's no way you can totally...

    Remind me again why MJ was right about the financial markets being SCRIPTED and the importance of Monogamy.

    Amen. I recently realised that economics is probably the first thing to learn for investing...not fundamentals or technical analysis. This is because the debt cycle has been powering sector rotation as Ray Dalio ordered. And it really angers me that the folks I learnt the investing/trading...

    It depends where this inflation comes from. If its demand-side inflation, then it is good. If it is inflation from suffocated supply chain (ie cost side)...then bad. See how China does the supply chain part...it has kept a zero-covid policy for now. Shanghai cases recently got close to nil so...

    The REAL r/WSB folks with more sound trading chops moved away to a private subreddit. But the public subreddit is now just filled with half-eaten bear predictions, next to zero gains/loss porn posts and just stale memes. I guess we are floating thru between disillusionment and capitulation.

    I feel sorry for the folks from my Malaysian Bursa who ran to US market last year because of its greens...only to get slaughtered even worse than when they stayed on with our commodities-based stocks.

    What we get wrong about the Mexican Fisherman Parable

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    I guess its just about mindful repetition until we do the work/chores automatically without hating it. I've been wondering how I went about hating dishes. Then I refer back to Atomic Habits...and it goes back to how we make things easy/difficult or attractive/disgusting to pick up as longtime...

    You must be my spirit animal lol. Dishes...the bane of civilisation. Its one of the few things that make me revenge-procrastinate till it spills to other work as well. I somehow get to washing them for the day though, so they don't stack till weekend. My only countermeasures to it are to eat...
