    Fear of Failure and Not Wanting "It" Badly Enough

    Good advice. I've made this mistake and had to postpone my operations until stable.

    Good point, but that also assumes your solution is successful enough to warrant a transfer. For example, if it sucks? You wasted maybe $50 on credits. If it's great? You'll have enough MRR to scale anyway. At that point, you can hire professional devs to build whatever you want. So...

    $3,382 in MRR. What's the next best move?

    While you shouldn't get complacent, or sit back and chill - it's good to put your current numbers into perspective. Roughly speaking, you're making around the same as somebody working a full-time job in Ireland would. You're capable of much more, yes, but be cautious not to compare yourself...

    The game Fortnite is a supreme example of keeping up with times. Although I don't play it, they sure know how to bring new players in with strategic partnerships. First a collab with The Simpsons, now apparently a collab with Stranger Things. It's a great example of staying relevant in a...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    Okay, so I've made a decision: I'll keep JitterShield (my coffee tab business) on the shelf.. FOR NOW. This is a strategic move when I consider the lean principles I initially adhered to. A business like this deserves more capital to fully thrive, so I'll return when I have some stable...

    Me too. But many, many people are under the illusion that you can sit around, meandering at the same 9-5, tearing into the same box of Maltesers and just happen upon lady luck.

    It's no coincidence that every successful man references the importance of the process. Conor McGregor, Eric Thomas, Mayweather, Lincoln and beyond.. A gentleman wrote a thread recently about how the Law of Attraction sucks, and I believe this post is the missing puzzle piece the book...

    Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Firstly, I don't like that word: "quit"; I'm pondering with putting my idea on the shelf until a later date. In the grand scheme of things, the fastlane remains the destination, and in my opinion, a true example of "quitting" would be to stop being...

    The Law Of Attraction Is Complete Bullshit. Here's What I Learned After Practicing It for 4 Years, Reading Over 50+ Books

    MINDSET 
    The Bible states "As a man thinketh, so is he". The problem is, most LOA preachers don't preach the benefits of adversity, and the fact that there's many tests and tribulations along the way to fulfilling your goal. People want it easy. This is completely your fault. There's no such thing...

    More of a mindset update today. I've been thinking a lot about my direction the past few days. Since I started this thread, the idea was to find a solution to a problem, and ideally, deliver my solution in the form of a physical product. Now, I believe my coffee tablet idea is actually fairly...

    Okay, so my A/B test between the video and static ad has concluded that my static ad is MUCH more effective, even with less money spent: Static ad: CTR 1.95% Video ad: CTR 1.55% It's bitter sweet because although my static ad is popping off, there's still no attempted checkouts logged on my...

    Profitable (and very odd) side hustle but not sure how to scale it….

    Franchise it. Could be called something like: "Staman's Shaman Co." Of course, you'll need to invest a lot of time into it at first, but if you make a good business model that other, charming people can use straight out of the box, why can't it be massive? Plus, I wouldn't get too bogged down...

    I have this buffet I always go to, they serve a bunch of food from different countries. Anyhow, can't help but analyse their business model: "All you can eat with bottomless drinks!" They know damn well nobody's lasting long enough to eat into their margins, lol! Anyhow, I squeezed in an...

    - Christ is King - Never cry in front of your girlfriend/wife (extreme circumstances are an exception). - You should never let your children see you intoxicated in any way, shape, or form. - You can literally do or be anything you want in life. - Failure and adversity are the building blocks...

    Great observation. I went this route because of the logistics and competitiveness of coffee beans. For example, there's no way I could make coffee beans like Starbucks or Nestle, but... I could essentially sell the shovel to people digging for gold. Everybody loves coffee, and everybody has...

    Published my ad again, this time I'm running an A/B test with my video clip and a static advertisement. The site has been cleaned up, and more trust signals were added, so I'm hoping this will help with conversions. Additionally, I've added a lucky orange script to my header to monitor user...
