    Scott Adams: "How To Know Your Product Will Succeed"

    Agreed. Read it for the funny title on a whim, had a few really solid tidbits (although nothing I hadn't heard a million times before though) and yeah, a lot of drivel. I think I was reading a sentence or two per page by the end of the book because I just wanted to be through it.

    Apparently this is all just amusing to him. Lucky there's a feature for situations like this:

    I had no idea who this is or what she did so I googled it and found it out. Basically she's an idiot who said "catch me outside" as a threat to the audience on Dr. Phil in a dumb accent and has ridden her angsty attitude to fame and now charges talking fees to show up places. Was in a rap...

    When you specifically call out another person by name, you should either: 1. Know them well enough to be certain of where their threshold is, or 2. Assume their "offensive threshold" is nearly non existent. And let's not forget the important last point: 3. Be prepared to properly apologize...

    Love the attitude. Keep an open mind and soak in as much as you can! Getting involved in this stuff at your age is much earlier than most and means you haven't developed the bad habits and stuck mindsets many folks have to "break free" from later in life to make the jump into this world. I...

    Honestly - I also don't read your posts. I find them monotonous at best. You drone on and have no condensation to your writing style. It reads like you are being paid to write by the letter. In my opinion. It's funny you mention Forever Jobless as an example to model yourself after because I...

    I can't believe I also forgot about this hilarious "because I can" move he did. @Vigilante might love this: Some website called funnyjunk was stealing his content and reposting it. He called them out on it and they tried demanding $20k for defamation. I'll leave out the funny details but his...

    I'd recommend clicking the link. The embedded photo is only a portion of the whole strip and it's all quite good IMHO. Also, Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal) is one of the most successful online comics in the world (he did 500k in 2012 according to wiki and I'm sure that's significantly more now)...

    How to Get Up at 5 AM every day ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The most important thing IMHO is having a good reason to get up that early. If you are just bullshitting yourself into thinking it's a good idea because successful people do it but you really have no plan for your morning, you'll fail. There are excellent techniques for how to help wake up...

    Amazon bought Wholefoods. How to the Mom & Pop Shops Pivot?

    I'm ASTOUNDED that not a single grocery store I've ever been to has put together "dinner boxes" like all those subscription based companies out there. They are literally in the best possible position to do this, likely even better than the food subscription box companies, and they don't do it.

    Need your advice - What would you do with $2500 reimbursement for education?

    Every city has a few but I honestly wouldn't have any to recommend. Maybe ask the sales manager at your company? Or just google around. Bringing your sales ability from a 1 to even a 3 would be tremendously beneficial in any endeavor you encounter.

    Selling my Ecommerce Business

    GOLD! 
    Maybe it was a simple matter of misjudging their liquidity? Still dumb but would probably make more sense than going into a sales call knowing you couldn't buy it.

    Need your advice - What would you do with $2500 reimbursement for education?

    Do you have any sales skills? You can buy your way into a hell of a sales course/retreat for $2,500 I would suspect.

    How do we use the rep bank?

    1. Awesome user choice. Fantastic taste on your part. 2. I think you skipped the part where you hit "do transfer" :( 3. I sent you 100 credits instead :)

    To use my actual name or alter it for English-speaking audience? That is a question...

    I'd stick with either your actual name, or shorten it to "Rado" for brevity. Have you considered that two of the most popular folks online are: 1. Ezra Firestone 2. Ramit Sethi Ezra and Ramit are hardly "typical american" names yet they have zero issues because they provide a ton of value.

    Any way of making user name mentions stand out from the likes you get? Different color maybe? I know I've missed quite a few mentions in threads because they look basically identical in the alerts section as the likes.

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    I had the benefit of growing up poor and also being screwed one way or another at almost every job I ever held. First company went bankrupt 3 months after hiring me. Second company reduced commissions and salaries every year while making the hours crappier until they fired me to make an...

    Your Boss Doesn't Give A Shit About You

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    Most people are selfish. I don't mean in some greedy, a**hole, antagonistic way though. I just mean they act in their own self interest most of the time. ESPECIALLY when faced with hard decisions. This doesn't mean they don't care about you. Or don't like you. Or is actively trying to...

    Advice on Student Loan? what to do

    MINDSET 
    Here's a weird question - do you have a full time job? How can you only afford $160 to your loan if you have basically no expenses? 5 years at $160 with no interest is less than 10k. So I assume your debt is just about $10,000? Go get a full time job. Something that pays around 40k. That...
