    Am I Action-Faking?

    Hey, there is a cool dude named MJ. ;) He wrote about how he molded this site from a ball of clay into what it is today... It could be smart to reverse engineer what he did while adding your own spin for your niche. He worried about building a site people would value and use. He learned what...

    CRYPTO INVESTING LANDFILL 
    Eh... not a scam. Crypto is a highly risky gamble based on what the hivemind is hyping. It is not a CENTSible investment at all.

    HOT! 
    Sure. Treat it like a process where you take tangible and deliberate steps to change your life over time. If you want the real secret, look at what the people you want to be like are doing and believing and process your way towards that. Use your own testing to tweak the working methods for...

    So you want to flip used items and make cash? Cool!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Love it. I can personally vouch for this overall method as it has helped me out. You inspired me to share: 1.) Ask each buyer what they're looking to get out of the purchase, it weeds out scammers and shows you're not one yourself. Then you can tailor your answers to this too. 2.) Have the item...

    Awesome, seems the process is serving you increasingly well. And I'd like to apologize about a thread where I ripped your head off four months ago. I only do so to prevent people from lying to themselves. Seeing that kind of stuff was still a sore spot to me because it was what I was did to...

    MJ and multi-millionaires+ are top notch at perceiving value gaps in the marketplace. Then, they develop the process to fill the demand while eliminating redundant actions. So to model my fastlane system by mining their insights I'd... 1. Show them how I'm marketing to my prospects. Then I'd...

    Risk-Taking vs. Risk-Adverse (Where's the Fine Line?)

    MINDSET 
    This is a suberb write-up. I can especially relate to the feeling of being judged and seeing as an affirmation to who I am. The best takeaway was that each cold call or dollar spent on ads. brings one closer to certainty. This is so simple and so profound. I think deep down, I was most drawn...

    Sales - To Reveal Price Before Phone Call?

    Just have two things to help you with: 1. Normally by the time they are asking for price, I've highlighted the core issue holding them back(sales). From there I've gotten them to explain to me the implications of that problem. And any ripple effects from that. Like: what will happen if they...

    I'm not sure we're completely on the same page, why cannot they become world class? In the story the people who tried to make the perfect jar, ended up with one distorted jar. The people who could experiment rapidly, learned how to mold the clay to their desire. The clay became an extension...

    Good question, to make sifting for value easier, I'll break down my experience into two parts. 1. My core mistake was seeing mistakes as anything other than data. I spent the better part of 2016 analyzing every little factor. This would be like chopping a tree once a week and expecting it to...
