    WTF: Robert Greene's writing in "The 50th law" is insufferable

    BOOKS 
    Actually, I believe he said a person who followed all 48 laws would probably be diagnosed with anti-personality disorder. After reading the book, I agree, that person would probably powerful, but I'm not sure he'd have too many meaningful relationships with people since many of the laws...

    Work life balance myth.

    MINDSET 
    http://www.alexstjohn.com/WP/2016/05/16/strange-times-wage-slaves/ Most important point, look at the people who are highly successful, like Gates, Musk, Buffet, and Jobs. For them, there is no work/life balance, there is no sense of sacrifice. They only work on things they truly believe in...

    Hobbies & Passions - what are yours?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    We'll have to agree to disagree, I view his posts as more a forum persona with the expressed goal of keeping people on target. We're all here because something in TMF resonated with us, and it's important to keep that in mind to help prevent this place from becoming another general interest...

    Hobbies & Passions - what are yours?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think of @Ubermensch as a drill sergeant. I don't think too many people could live the way his forum persona presents itself and be happy, but I also think he does a lot to help keep people focused on the end goal.

    Pursue Things That Interest You

    What exactly are you looking to do? Are you looking to do some kind of info-product? Physical product? Software? The answer depends on what you're interested in doing. If you're not familiar with marketing in general, I'd research that, namely on concepts like market segments, branding...

    Pursue Things That Interest You

    I'll echo a modified version of @Ubermensch's response. Finding business ideas is incredibly easy; a quick search on Google will get a lot of ideas. The filter for which idea you execute on would be your interests. List all your interests and strengths out, and then start searching. There...

    Millionaire with only 4 years of education

    EXECUTION 
    That's along the lines of what I was thinking; he didn't get lucky, he saw an opportunity, he busted his a$$, and it paid off. There are opportunities all around us, it just takes getting out of your head and keeping your eyes and mind open (which is something I struggle with).

    Getting very stressed lately

    MINDSET RANT 
    To answer the question in bold, telling someone to learn to write sales copy is akin to telling someone to learn JavaScript for development. Software development is a incredibly vast field that covers almost every aspect of what we do. Focusing on a single language is good to help get started...

    QuitN6 Course Review

    Hey, thanks for the response and the perspective. I guess I'm being a bit literal with my definition of business, which according to Wikipeidia "is an entity involved in the provision of goods and/or services to consumers". I see setting up a page to get people to buy something as a "business"...

    Taken from http://www.artofmanliness.com/2016/04/24/how-to-really-be-alpha-like-the-wolf/ Some food for thought for those familiar with the Star Wars series, who's the alpha male? The emperor or Yoda?

    QuitN6 Course Review

    We finished the second lesson, and the one thing that is sticking out in my mind is how Matt really stresses that it's not as complicated as people think to setup an online business. Many of the leading voices in this space mention about the need for a blog to build establish trust and build a...

    Going "All In"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    The live or die going all in mentality is good so long as you're the only one you need to support. Once others are relying on you, that mentality is no longer feasible because they will suffer during the downturns. That being said, you can still go all in, mentality like Andy said, and...

    Investing in Yourself - Right or Wrong Decision?

    Investing in yourself is definitely one of the best things you can do, but it not about spending money. @DaveC mentioned healthy eating habits and exercise. There's also picking up a meditative practice, writing in a journal, etc. Basically, investing in yourself is not about money, but about...

    I think we've all done our fair share of arm chair quarter backing. I know I have. Now a days, I tend to keep my opinions of people who are more successful than me to myself. After all, they are successful, and I am not. What right do I have to say anything about their performance?* *Except...

    Lesson 2 is a rather long video, coming in at about an hour. I tend to set the playback to1.6 speed to help move things along. The content in this video is Matt's background, starting at around the time he got interested in internet bitness. A large part of this deals with him using his...

    I like these posts, and I like the message behind them, but I also think it's important to bring some science into this. Typically, I find this helpful to build an actionable set of steps towards lofty goals such as these. What @AndrewNC has said here is in fact very true, but not so much in...
