    Setting Goals

    EXECUTION 
    This is the whole idea. You are what you repeatedly do. If your goal is to make a million dollars. You might work your a$$ off and get there. And then you might stop working once you get there because you reached your goal. You did it! And that may cause you to eventually lose it all. But if...

    Setting Goals

    EXECUTION 
    What is considered achievable? Most people would say a 6 figure job is achievable. This community might say becoming a billionaire is achievable. Some might say anything is achievable. So having achievable goals doesn't matter if it could be anything. Same with actionable. Couldn't anything be...

    45: Average Age of Successful Founder

    I feel like 45 may seem old for this statistic but it makes sense. I mean for the first 20 years of life you (pretty much) don't even count when it comes to this. So they are really only looking at people aged 20 to 80 (life expectancy). 50 is right in the middle of those two numbers. Making 45...

    Can You Guess Someone's Income? *VIDEO*

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I liked how the guy said he was in tech and she responded, "But you didn't go to school for that?"

    Thought this Was Interesting

    He has a point but at the same time he doesn't have a point. He is right in some ways but it turned into a, "The man is keeping me down!" speech. And what do you mean debt=money? Debt=money you have to pay back with interest in the future. It's not free money.

    What if you already know enough?

    NOTABLE! 
    “A few observations and much reasoning lead to error, many observations and little reasoning to truth.” “The atmosphere of libraries, lecture rooms, and laboratories is dangerous to those who shut themselves up in them too long. It separates us from reality like a fog.” ~ Alexis Carrel

    Amazon announce min. hourly wage raise to $15

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yes this would be bad. Monopolies created because of government laws are horrible for everyone except the owners of the monopoly. If Amazon was a "natural" monopoly in a free market that would be ok. This is bad.

    Agree or Disagree: Entrepreneurship is a privilege

    HOT! 
    The saying: "The first million is the hardest" has nothing to do with gaining a million dollars. The saying is about the lessons and skills learned in order to get the million. Once you've learned what you need to do to earn money it gets easier. If it were solely about the privilege of...

    Grant Cardone, Alex Becker, Gary Vaynerchuck

    HOT! 
    I hate Gary V. I can't stand his videos. Just a hyper man who tells you to hustle and then tells you how hard he hustles. Seems to me that all he does is tweet people all day. Not much real substance in his videos. He just hypes people up with his energy and vague/big statements. I like Becker...

    Homeless Man Looking to be Rich

    INTRO 
    Dude. Hes a 21 year old living in his car with 8 grand and a dream. He doesn't have to say outright, "Can you give me advice?" He could clearly benefit from any words of wisdom. You basically said he's the only one doing anything and everyone else in this thread is doing nothing so he...

    Warren Buffett and Stock Investing

    EXECUTION 
    Most people can invest just like Warren Buffet. He started at the bottom like everyone else. He is not a mutual fund investor. He's an entrepreneur who came from a family of entrepreneurs. He pretty much owns 100% of over 60 huge companies, including Geico, Fruit of The Loom, Dairy Queen, etc...

    Homeless Man Looking to be Rich

    INTRO 
    @EatMan posted on this forum to hear what others have to say. Instead of trying to be so enlightened and all-knowing, while criticizing everyone here, why don't you give your own advice? I hope you weren't planning on saying one sentence and then leaving without expanding on your thought that...

    Homeless Man Looking to be Rich

    INTRO 
    No I assumed this already. I also assume you don't want to move back in with them and go back to school. Your actions clearly state that you don't want to go back. Imagine the mocking. It already happens to me and I'm not even as extreme as you. I can see it now, every Christmas your family will...

    Homeless Man Looking to be Rich

    INTRO 
    You got balls kid. You got balls. I enjoy reading about determination and the 'willing to do anything' attitude. Sleeping in your car for your dreams is great and all, and I would do it if I had to, but I think you are being a bit extreme. Hear me out. You say you have no income and $8k in the...

    First, luck was overrated, then underrated

    MINDSET 
    Most people think luck is random. They think one day they'll just end up getting lucky. Go ask people what luck is and they will say things like winning the lottery, being born into money, or having natural talents. That's not at all what luck is. Luck is odds. Luck is math. Every action you...
