    Should I go to college?

    INTRO 
    There is a big difference between writing for tests, and writing for your market. Back in school, writing was my good stuff. Now after doing it for a living...I still feel I miss something from the craft.

    So sorry to hear this. I thought taking down the old PM was unthinkable until the headlines hit. Oddly your thoughts aren't too far from what I feel about UNSCRIPTION in general. It's no longer all about gaining as much wealth efficiently as I can...it's now about getting tf out of the system...

    Sometimes I thought client F*ck-ups, shit sales funnels and partners who let you down, were the worst things to ever happen to me. I was wrong... You know what's worse? Turning sick with high fever...in a sudden nationwide heatwave...and you're stuck in MANY family disagreements, where the...

    Just an introduction from ordinary person that eager and committed escape from mediocrity

    INTRO 
    Welcome! The funny thing about those triggers (sugar, flashy videos, sporting events), is that they are designed to draw in PAYING customers or users over and over again. It's EASIER to sell to existing paying users, after all. Don't just hate these triggers. Learn from them. When you go work...

    Lex DeVille's - Journey To Doctor

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    YEEE-HAAA Well done Lex. Can't exactly say there's a lot of love for the Doctorates these days...but if there was one thing I could sum up from this thread, it is that you just have to take time to grind thru stuff you DON'T love, if you are to get to the end of the tunnel. Sounds cliche, I...

    Im going fastlane out of hate and fear... Thoughts ?

    FEEDBACK 
    I'm all for reading the book. But even if OP gets a job, that attitude may still stay the same...and he may try to do greater things in his career, all to just please some folks who shouldn't be called friends in the first place. @farahead, you are not a joke. Folks who want to work for their...

    I think if the pandemic didn't wake folks up, nothing will. I have not gone back to any high school reunion for years. I didn't know Fastlane as a kid, but I was always doing something outside the 'norm'...like taking up leading roles in uniformed groups even in my first years. They took a few...

    ad copy/sales script agency

    Folks, you might wanna rethink the copywriting thing if you keep using 'ad COPIES'...

    How's Your Work/Life Balance?

    MINDSET 
    I'll just drop this excerpt from Ben Settle's 'Breakneck Content' book. See 'Superhuman Productivity Secret #3': My hunch on why this WORKS is because the more the folks worked at it...the more they MASTERED whatever they needed to get stuff done. And better mastery definitely gets more...

    How's Your Work/Life Balance?

    MINDSET 
    It reminds me of the movie 2012, where the US President shoos away the staff rushing to hustle him away from the apocalypse, shouting: "MAKE TIME!" Cause all he wanted to do was to encourage a young scientist to move on into a new world. Goes to show if there is an activity or goal that is...

    Even worse is that you'd be stuck in fight-or-flight mode all day long. You'd have to watch your back around the clock-- even your fellow bums can turn on you... Extremely difficult to break out of the funk. And if you start out in the dumps at a younger age, all the stress from avoiding gangs...

    Broke 22yo from a 3rd world country

    INTRO 
    Yes, welcome! It's great that you've decided to work on better things! As @Roli said though, nothing is wasted as long you can use it as a stepping stone. If you DO want to escape from your home country and settle elsewhere for the long run, a degree does help as some countries like Korea do...

    Recently I learnt of this outrageous story of the oldest lady to finish the Ironman World Championship, Cherie Gruenfeld, who did it at a ripe old 78 years of age. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5cdKoMPfD0 View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsVbbWUmkGY...

    I keep repeating the same mistake

    Go and check out Atomic Habits by James Clear. It has probably the closest step-by-step framework I know on building up positive habits...or even eliminating bad habits in reverse. One of the major takeaways I got from the book, was environment. Here's an excerpt you can read: Motivation is...

    The entire Agora financial network with Jim Rickards thrives on this :) Gold standard for marketing financial education products. But I think some folks complained about their preference for Trump and right-politics, because I don't get their longer write-ups in my inbox anymore. Whatever...

    How do I balance business with school and a highschool student?

    WEB DESIGN 
    My thoughts on this is that you need to choose your clients carefully. When I worked in freelance copywriting, I've found it A LOT easier to just have 2-3 major clients who had more consistent work for me, consistent fees, and yes...good management systems. Juggling like 5-6 clients is...

    Are these books worth reading ?

    The funny thing is that RDPD is more of a motivational book, rather than a how-to book. John T.Reed, an actual real estate guy, did a teardown of the Kiyosaki book back then...

    Convincing my parents otherwise

    INTRO 
    Asians come from a very family-orientated background, where yeah...family plays a big role. It works very well if the elders have some great life advice. But when times change too quickly, and even these early 'mentors' can't adapt...then we have to go out and find new answers. It surprises...

    Honestly I don't see this as the end of the world. I see the China currency deals having similar benefits to multilateral trade agreements, where all countries in a certain region try to trim down the exchange rate costs. And hopefully makes business much more predictable. Think the Euro...
