    MINDSET 
    Yes, Man's Search for Meaning is a very good book. Highly recommend it to anyone who has not. The way I interpreted Viktor Frankl's search for meaning is that meaning is found in how we act in the face of struggle and hardship as well as finding true love and the experience of true love. In...

    Can i get somewhere without a FTE ?

    MINDSET 
    I'm no physiologist, but people who don't have a WHY seem to be more susceptible to depression. Your why should be deeper than, I want a car or I want girls hanging off your shoulder. Why do you breathe? Because you need oxygen. Why do you need oxygen? Because your body needs this to live. So...

    Can i get somewhere without a FTE ?

    MINDSET 
    A FTE is not mandatory to become successful, but generally speaking entrepreneurship is hard. People tend to be like water and travel the path of least resistance. If you have an FTE, you might realize that a 9-5 is a more painful experience than becoming an entrepreneur which is generally very...

    Question on action faking…

    Cart before the horse much? You're focusing on the wrong problem. It seems like you have no current success in business. You should be focusing on building a business that can be profitable and provides value first. If you start seeing success in your business, then you may want to start...

    If you could recommend just one MJ DeMarco book...

    UPDATE: It has been nearly two(2) months since my previous update. As with any new start-up, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. I did not think it would take this long to understand the regulations for the products I will be importing. I expected the regulations would be...

    Can you brainwash yourself to be who you want to be?
