    30 Year old sold his startup for 170 million $ just wrote 1284 slides on how to win life

    When you read this as the best criticism someone was willing to sign their real name to (unlike comments), it says more to me about how good the presentation actually is than how bad it is.

    The *New* Endangered Species... Your Job.

    HOT! 
    Don't fall for the hype. Travel has extraordinary amounts of time and money into the marketing of the product, like any other "stuff". It is no more experiential than driving a Porsche, though among some crowds it does carry more social currency. The thing to realize is you are after peak...

    The *New* Endangered Species... Your Job.

    HOT! 
    This change is not a choice. It's a fact. It's an inevitability. The Luddites will never, ever win in the long haul. If we try to force the retention of "living wage jobs", other countries will outcompete us. And eventually attack us with their robots and take our shit. Employers are...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Not really trying to form a cohesive argument here, but some free association- I had a family member who was really hard on one of his kids to go to college, simply because she is lazy, and financial success for a lazy person is likely best served by a college degree. The years have only made...

    Sure- we will not be inheriting anything but bills, but if the bus hit us on date night tomorrow, our kid would be wealthy. Love to hear anything you'd be willing to share.

    Section 8 /= Poverty. Section 8 refers to people who have spent time and energy to qualify for and collect welfare subsidies, who may or may not, be in poverty.

    REAL ESTATE 
    Your properties were exactly the type we always looked for when we rented. Only bad experiences I've ever had with a landlord were from the "professional" companies, properties like this one always ended up a great match for all. Would love to read your comments about inherited wealth, we've...

    RE kids, the grind etc- My opinion is you want them to catch you doing what you hope they do.

    Elok Musk of Teslamotors - All patent now belonga to you

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Bigger pie is right. That's it. It has some nice follow on impacts such as in the supply chain, and sharing some of the marketing and infrastructure expense. I do not for a second buy that the reason Tesla didn't care about their patents was they couldn't defend them. Individuals have...

    I Have Decided That I'm Moving...

    Zuckerberg is a good example of a California Billionaire. He did not start his company there, nor is he from there. He was moved there by VCs for adult supervision and to plug him in to the ecosystem of developers. If you need those things, you need the SF Bay. Otherwise, CA is a headwind.

    Making 100k Per Year: Easy or Difficult?

    HOT! 
    Very few people are going to earn a taxable income of $100k/yr without years of preparation of some kind. The most likely is probably sales, but that's not really what I had in mind. There are a whole lot more people earning $100k/yr in the slowlane (either as employees or biz owners) than...

    Making 100k Per Year: Easy or Difficult?

    HOT! 
    Easier to get your paycheck to 6 figures/yr in the slowlane than fastlane I think. DW and I started at min wage in high school, and now make 1% slowlane money at home. You should read MJ's book and pay attention to his comments. MJ may never have made good money (~$20,000/mo) as a slowlaner...

    Guy Throws Rock At Lamborghini Aventador

    When I was younger and dumber I had stuff thrown at my car a couple of times. Both deserved. If you would get so upset someone threw a rock at your car that you'd start a fight, you are driving a car you can't afford...financially and/or emotionally.

    I posted this speech here on the forum too. Years ago in some biz/success book I read the author suggested you should do something spartan. This speech demonstrates exactly why you should.

    An alternate view of this article would be that our medical system had correctly identified people with serious issues and was trying to help. Medication is SOP, and its not too surprising people with similar issues get similar treatments. I don't hazard the guess whether or not these drugs...

    I am not necessarily arguing your approach is wrong. But trying to take it to the process level. The need is security, not a post-nup. The solution could be lots of different things. Our solution has been developing so that either partner could thrive without the other, whether the split is...
