    Do you take any kind of stimulants?

    HEALTH 
    I would not take any stimulants in your situation. You may want to look into 'adrenal fatigue'. Presuming you eat enough and don't have other health problems, it may be why your energy is low. Caffeine and all other stimulants are not simply 'energy givers'. They give you energy now, but at...

    How to escape consumerism and have fun without spending money?

    MINDSET 
    Nature. Remember how to play and explore like you did when you were a child. If you never did as a child, then learn to do so. There is much joy to be found in nature itself. If you don't notice it, then taking a few moments to do so and marvel at it will go a long way.

    Starting a new Food product business, (plant-based / vegan)

    From what I can tell, the biggest hurdle is creating more shelf stable items. Hence the amount of processed/full-of-preservative vegan foods in general. What about various vegan spice mixes or sauces that someone could add to the core components they locally buy and prep? I could see a vegan...

    I Feel Trapped in a Family Business

    PEOPLE 
    Yup, sounds like exactly what OP needs to do. Run the ship. Have a heart to heart with his father where OP does not attack him but sympathizes with him will go a long way. Getting his father to see that it's okay to take a step back, that it's okay to relax and let him takeover is best not only...

    Have you ever been invested in stocks?

    You can invest in stocks. If you really believe in a company then it can do quite well. Been keeping my eye on a stock that's up 92% in a year...kinda nuts. But that's the beauty of good acquisitions and restructuring. If you're really interested in stocks and businesses I'd suggest studying...

    Stop wasting time finding a need, focus on being GOOD at what you are passionate about.

    This is a common experience too. Turning a hobby into work sounds good on paper but in the long run often enough it ruins the hobby! Did that for me with computers in a large way o_O From what I've understood, part of it is how before when you did the hobby you got internal rewards, and then...

    Scam Alert - How To Make Money Doing Nothing

    I recall seeing dozens of 'services' that offered to give you double or triple your money if you'd just only give them 1 btc first! Dozens upon dozens upon dozens. I wonder if they're still around or if they've died out yet...

    Convince me to Not Buy a Home

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I never considered the tax advantages. That's not insignificant at all. It's even more significant if you have a higher tax rate too! The only major downside to me is tying up so much capital instead of pumping it into business instead. $50k down but 25% savings in living costs vs $50k...

    Buliding a Gaming journalism company

    My take is that if you stay true to reporting on genres you actually play and are decent at, and if you make a female fantasy CGI character that is sexy but not too sexy, it could do really really well. For example, I just opened up twitch: Watched for a few minutes. This girl is pretty...

    ha, awesome! Yes episodes 4, 5, and 6 are truly great. 1, 2, and 3 are alright. 7, 8, and 9 are junk. Have you seen the Matrix trilogy? Please tell me you have...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There's plenty to learn here. One huge lesson is to never have only one guru/mentor you listen to. That is how you get sucked in. Does this mean you cannot learn anything from Dan Lok's story, or his sales stuff? I'm not honestly sure why anyone would bother spending money on his class when...

    What's wrong with me? Why didn't I stick to my long term goals?

    MINDSET 
    We're very good at forgetting, plus shiny object syndrome. If you really want to stick to your long term goals, I find it helps to revisit them every single day at least once if not more without fail!

    I'm a big fan of Zinus and spring free mattresses. Got something like this recently and it's amazing...better than stuff my parents spent $2000 on 10 years ago! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q7EPV8O/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20

    Introducing a loser

    INTRO 
    yeah...I get it. I spent many years searching for answers everywhere but myself. Turning into myself wasn't even to find answers, it was to explore other stuff that sounded cool. Funny how things turn out. Who else are you going to trust but yourself? Even if you trust God, he typically...
