    My mindset is suffering

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Very good post. From what you are saying you indeed lack some skills. And this is a very tough place to be. Nobody gets born with skills. We all suck. It takes constant and continuous iteration to develop skills. I have been there many times and it can be super frustrating. In your case (and...

    I wanna convince my dad to read the millionare fastlane.

    What is the reason you want to do this? To prove him wrong about something? To get his permission? Even if you become a millionaire he might still not be convinced. What would you do then? Do things for yourself and don't wait for validation from others.

    If you decide to go Fastlane, you are setting yourself up for failure...

    MINDSET 
    Yes, you NEED and WILL fail. It is part of the process. For example, failure could mean that one ad channel you thought would work didn't work in the end. It does not have to be the end of the world as we know it. I have never seen a business that did not fail in something. And I have never...

    The war against your self esteem

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    I do not quite understand how you came to this statistic. From my personal experience, it is more like 50/50. And the funny part is that from the 50% of the people that have high self-esteem only 25% have something that is REMOTELY worth bragging for. I 100% agree with this statement. In...

    How should I prepare for my first client call?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I approach phone calls and presentations the same way in general. I think beforehand what are the WORST questions I will receive and I answer them and rehearse them beforehand. I write down (or have Chat GPT write down) bullet points of what to discuss. If the phone call or presentation is...

    Is my idea good?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    I don't like any of them. The real or perceived value you provide with these businesses seems to be quite unclear. Let's restart our thought process. What is your unfair advantage? What is the real service you can provide in your community based on your background and skills? What pain and...

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I am sorry you feel that way. It is not about me. It is about the strategic allocation of time. All more important when you work and have a side hustle. I actually do love the initiative, the question is whether it is wise to be developed at this very moment or not. Either way...Peace and harmony.

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I am sorry that I still disagree with this approach. It is much better to learn the skills needed based on what the market and the company you create need. I wish you to be the best beta tester and squash all the bugs.

    I Created A Videogame Based On The UNSCRIPTED Book [Fan Project]

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I am going to ask some questions that most people will not like: - Would it be a terrible idea to put all this energy into building your business? - Is it a project to be used to learn a specialized skill? - Are you sure you are not using this project as a distraction from your real GOALS?

    How To Quit Weed The Easy Way

    MINDSET 
    Allen Carr's EasyWay to stop doing weed... Would definitely buy it! :happy: Joking aside. Cigars, Cigarettes, Alcohol, and Weed are all extremely harmful. You don't need crutches to function properly they are just an impediment in the long term. Individuals should think deeply and develop a...

    Married with a Child, now what?

    Having a business can also be very taxing. I am currently working on the side on my business and the workload is a lot. There are just so many things that need to be done! And yes you do not have a boss, you have 1000s of them. And you need to monitor (not micromanage) the work of everyone that...

    Maybe I just suck in business.

    MINDSET 
    Amazing story! What I would do to fix the problem would be to use the 5 whys methods. For example in your case: Why did your first customer have a bad experience? The ironing didn't meet their expectations. Why was the ironing not up to scratch? Your team might lack the necessary training or...

    How can I find my "Lambo"?

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    We do not disagree. I did not say that money corrupts all people. What I mean is that it can corrupt some.

    How can I find my "Lambo"?

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    I understand your point actually. I was like that your age. This is also the mentality in my country. Money is evil and you do not need it because it will corrupt you. That is what the majority of people there think. Does money corrupt people? Absolutely!.. But why not use extreme amounts of...

    I Probably Shouldn’t Indulge

    INTRO 
    You have done a lot even though you are so young, so you should be proud of yourself. That being said try getting out of your comfort zone a bit more and see what happens. Activities that would help you do that are: 1) Start your own small business or side project, where you have to take risks...

    Try and get equity or just get paid.

    IDEA 
    I was once partially paid with equity. One company that wanted to recruit me amped the equity amount up so that they could "match" the higher salary I was proposed by Netflix to get me on board. I went with them in the end and I never saw the amount of the extra money from the stonks land in my...

    The 4 Burners Theory: Can High Achievers Live a Balanced Life?

    CHAT 
    No matter what happens please do not neglect your health. I can understand putting it off for a while, especially during these hard times, but if you are not healthy mentally and physically, it will impact all the other burners.

    Skip queues for rental apartments

    IDEA 
    The idea seems brilliant. I am surprised that it does not exist already. The thing is that ideas are next to worthless without proper execution.
