    Where's a good place to post content related to reducing the tax impact of selling your business? Normally, it's going be treated as an asset transfer and subject to personal income taxes. That's the worst treatment and could cost up to 50% of the gross sale proceeds. Knowing about how to...

    [Progress] The Road to a wholesome Unscripted Life

    Well. Three down, seven to go. Take a moment to appreciate how much you've learned over the past 2-3 years. I know you're still on TFF and curious what you're working on now. You can't unlearn. It just doesn't work that way.

    My bumper sticker: Comfort kills. My kids laugh at people waiting for the elevator while we're walking up the stairwell. Jesus Christ, it's only stairs.

    The only labor Amazon is spending more money for is robots. We toured one of the ginormous fulfillment centers in Colorado a couple years back for a homeschool gig. The tour guide was SUPER excited to point out how well everyone working there was paid. It was something like $15 - $18 per hour...

    My girls (13YO & 10YO) had a Toilet Master Class about two months ago. Daughter the 2nd kept flushing after Daughter the 1st left the loo completely stoppered up two hours earlier. What a nightmare. Shutoff valve, plunger lessons, mop, washing machine, latex gloves, cleaning supplies. The Full...

    What they offer doesn't matter. How old you are doesn't matter. All that matters is you deciding to provide value by delivering a service that people need, offering to do it for them, convincing them, doing it and getting paid. Repeat over and over and over. Grieg Clark was 18YO with zero...

    It absolutely sounds make up. I've heard this a zillion times without a back story. However, it's so damn old, I wonder whether it originated with Claude Hopkins or David Ogilvy who were both complete machines when it came to measuring marketing results.

    Easily solved by A Death Match. Or maybe just switching to sporks.

    Nah, you're missing the point. It's a marketing thing. Or a marketing joke depending on your perspective. The free rounds are giveaways to build a culture. The vast majority of "competitors" will never finish in under 2.5 hours and the house will end up winning far more often than not. You'd...

    What's the average play through time nowadays? I've always wondered how much of a premium people would pay to finish in under three hours guaranteed. The Scots seem to think 2.5 hours walking is borderline acceptable. Americans seem to think four hours is reasonable and start griping in the 5-6...

    There's no bears in the UK?!? I didn't know that. Thought they were everywhere north of 45 degrees latitude. I'd call it more unbearable (ha!) rather than a big problem. This is the first time it's been a "we live in a normal house" situation with bears in the surrounding woods. Neighbors...

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Our neighborhood bear has been visiting pretty frequently over the past few months. We live in a fairly rural area and she enjoys pulling everything out of the garbage bins, ripping all the sacks open and strewing the leftover garbage all around the woods. Last week was the third time in the...

    We are 100% in agreement. I just wasn't entirely sure about the ballpark numbers I threw out there. If I write $100 turns into $3,000, everyone goes "Big deal. Waste of time. Next." When I say $1M turns into $30M, everyone goes "Holy Crap!!! Tell me about it!!!" :rofl:

    The fallacy here is thinking the future is predictable and that it's an either-or scenario. You can either run the business OR you can invest. That isn't true. It's you can run the business AND you can invest. I don't know a single wealthy person that waited until a liquidity event before...

    @NeoDialectic Didn't your earlier posts imply something like 15 years to end up with $12 - $15M? - Putting away $x every year for 10 years @ 8% yields $15x. - Putting away $x every for 15 years @ 8% yields $30x. Someone investing $2M annually for 10+ years would end up with $30M vs $21M. It's...

    What we get wrong about the Mexican Fisherman Parable

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    It's the existential life question, right? I starting asking this in my mid-twenties and took two decades to find an answer that was satisfying. My version was "If you're perfectly content with everything in your life, why should you continue trying to improve in any way?" Both of them are...

    The irony is that I came across my own post this evening about two weeks after deciding I too will build a $100M business. I didn't recall that number in the slightest until reading Nathan's blog post again. The shit that sticks in your subconscious is simply unreal. I won't be working 90 hour...

    What we get wrong about the Mexican Fisherman Parable

    He is saying that. It's a very different lesson than the parable itself which basically says taking an arbitrary, arduous journey to end up exactly back in your happy place is a stupid waste of life. I also agree with that. However, I'm not at all happy being The Fisherman. Doing the same thing...
