    What is your dream? (and your 2016 goals!)

    MINDSET 
    My dream? To be able to create passive income streams that generates $10,000 monthly. I know that's a "small" amount, but for me, that's the initial amount I've set to be able to stop trading my time for money. My goal for 2016? To move from being merely interested in my dream and to be...

    Fastlane Is So Much Pressure

    HOT! 
    Outside of CEOs, I am talking about people like Ray Kurzweil, Scott Hanselman, and Eric Lippert. These 3 individuals could walk away from their current positions and have companies clamoring to hire them at competitive wages. The only commandment a career like that doesn't follow is the that of...

    The BIG BANG theory...

    MINDSET 
    It's the event vs. process dichotomy @MJ DeMarco talks about quite a bit. Success is achieved through mindfully choosing your daily habits, not won by random chance.

    Books on becoming a "people" person

    BOOKS 
    That's from How To Win Friends And Influence People. It's been mentioned here a few times, but honestly, that book is the best place for what you're looking for. If you implement even 10% of what the book suggests, you'll find people will definitely be more sociable around you.

    Subscription based websites like DollarShaveClub

    Here's a HN thread that goes into a bit of detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10752834 It will probably get thrown out. It's a blatant attempt by P&G to sue a competitor out of business. DSC doesn't make anything, they simply resell blades make by Dorco, who's based in South Korea...

    Fastlane Is So Much Pressure

    HOT! 
    A career can be fastlane. It's a matter of making it so companies actively seek you out for your advice as opposed to you having to submit our resume and hope you get noticed. I can name quite a few engineers who work for Google, but if they wanted to, they could walk out the door and have a...

    What does your avatar mean?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thanks! I'm surprised people read that! That post was a reminder to myself that it's ok to take pride in your accomplishments, but you need to find a way to use them for other's benefits.

    That's not the definition of hacking used in this context. :)

    A Primer on Nietzsche

    It might be an observation bias at play, but I've noticed that Nietzsche is becoming an influential thinker in this community, in no small part to his concepts of the ubermensch. Reading his works are great, but they can be a bit overwhelming for people who are busy. Given that, I thought I'd...

    How to find a niche?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Another possibility, taken from various sources is to make yourself the niche. Identify who you want to be in 6 months, a year, 5 years, and then sell yourself on the things you need to get there.

    Vetting Mobile App Developers

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    Does this person use source control? Does this person have unit tests? I think Dane Maxwell of the Foundation has some basic questions he uses, those would be as good as any, because for where you are, the person's prior experience is the best indicator. That, or someone else your friend...

    A few gem podcasts... What's your favorite?

    HOT! 
    For me, those would be AskPat and Simple Programmer. James is probably my favorite personality in the entrepreneur world. Most people selling the online business model/lifestyle tend to be positive. That's important, but they gloss over the difficulties. James doesn't. He's got a blog post...

    Why not take off your coat and stay a while?

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Thanks for the other post, @Andy Black. I lost my way and recently had a few things to help get me back on track! I genuinely enjoy being here and helping people when I can!

    Fastlane paradox?

    EXECUTION 
    I have a blog, but I lost my way on it. However, a post of mine just appeared on SimpleProgrammer.com, and even though I only got a few comments, it did recharge me and gave me some ideas for more posts.

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This realization was a motivating factor for me to control my gaming habit and to focus only on games that I enjoy for recreation.

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    As I have been playing more games recently myself, I can't help but reflect on @MJ DeMarco's comments that spending too much time playing video games represents a lack of purpose in life. I've accepted I probably never will give up playing video games. I enjoy them far too much. As they can eat...

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    GURUS 
    What's he doing that's unethical or without integrity? Is he scamming people? Is he stealing? Is he selling an inferior product? Seems to me you're not the person he's aiming at.

    Dealing with Self Doubt

    MINDSET 
    Meditation is extremely effective in helping you to let go. The other thing I recommend is to set up a system that will work regardless of your emotional state. Establish a set of daily habits you do, and then commit to doing them without fail. At some point, you'll get up and execute. Case in...
