    Wealth Windows: One Chart Shows You How to Get Rich...

    GOLD! HOT! - AI - 
    MJ, you're on a value-giving frenzy. Just when I thought it was over, you're coming back to YouTube. Always loving watching your OG videos from time to time, where you're sitting in front of the pool, haha!

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Been a hot minute since I updated this thread. For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been dedicating time & energy to learn the systems I'm using at my new job. An upfront time investment means I won't need to waste time catching up later + I'll be better at my job (earning more commission). In...

    I've Read Choose Hard, Live Easy: The Art of War for Decision-Making!

    HOT! BOOKS 
    Just finished reading 2 days ago, and a re-read is definitely warranted; there's so much useful tools. It's like a full workbook on how to kill fear and timidity. One thing that really stood out to me (and it's something I believe was either covered or hinted at in either Unscripted or TMF) was...

    Rental Equipment as a Fastlane Business Idea? Am I wrong?

    IDEA 
    Cherrypicker is one, but as far as I know they rent little lifts and stuff. I think this is the biggest barrier to entry. If you're planning on outright buying these things, we're talking about a massive upfront investment. Do you have a plan to afford it? Or, could you connect supplier to...

    What is your Decisional Fallout Condition (DEFCON)?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I got 60 the first time, and 64 the next time. (I'm not sure which answer changed, but it wasn't intentional). Financial stability let me down (which will be solved next week due to a well paying job) And I've started to get the nasty habit of blaming others for my mistakes. This is a shift...

    Are people actually opposing your idea? The irony is they'll never ever have the means to purchase the island with their way of thinking.

    Web Dev Positioning - the Anti-AI Play

    HOT! MARKETING 
    The average person is only exposed to the stuff they see while slobbering on donuts and doomscrolling. Their opinion means literally nothing. They will continue to consume, and they have zero business sense or critical thinking skills to decipher what's useful and what's not. It's always the...

    Was just thinking this the other day. Needed a quick way to bulk send emails using smtp. Literally every service was begging for money, or vital features were just blocked behind a paywall. Only a few years ago, there were so many niche sites that were just made to help others without...

    ‘Just Start’ Is Dangerous Advice for Entrepreneurs. Here’s What Skipping a Business Plan Really Costs You.

    NEWS 
    Yup. And that part: "run ads" It's a lot more sophisticated than slapping together a meta ad campaign and pressing "launch". There's a million different parts that complete the puzzle, and it's a nut I'm still struggling to crack after 3 years of being an entrepreneur (if you could even call...

    ‘Just Start’ Is Dangerous Advice for Entrepreneurs. Here’s What Skipping a Business Plan Really Costs You.

    NEWS 
    I think the problems lays with people (of whom I've seen A LOT on X) saying it's as easy as: • Setting up a shopify • Running ads • Profit Creating value and distribution are life-long skills in of themselves. Crappy business plans aside, a few books would do no harm. It's a hard line to...

    Received my copy today from Amazon one day early! Also, re: the snap on the back of the book - you're looking fantastic MJ. You look healthy and more importantly, happy. Whatever you're doing is clearly working.

    Another fantastic book that I'm actually rereading: How to Win Friends and Influence People. One of the few books were you can get immediate results after only reading the first 25-50 pages.

    Work Life Balance - The mind of an unhappy slave

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Great thread. People could do with a tone shift: "I do some entrepreneurial stuff in my freetime" (They will lose because their dreams are an afterthought) to "I work a job to support myself while being a noodle guzzling entrepreneur" To paraphrase something MJ said that stuck with...

    Funny story: Took some melatonin last night, and I expected some weird a$$ dreams. Ended up dreaming that MJ was in a local book store and I was ecstatic that all the hard cover versions of his new book were stocked. Then MJ showed me some weird electrical toy he made as a business idea. After...

    Pleasantly surprised to see the physical copy on Amazon. I hope this isn’t some sort of mistake, because I'll be picking up the hardcover later! Always need my books in their physical version! Congrats on the book launch, @MJ DeMarco your way of writing is fascinating to read.

    Worse feeling is not being able to sleep. Done everything right the past few days and on my second Nytol. It's now 2.48am and my mind is still hopping. Man, insomnia is horrible.

    Going from 0 sales to 1 sale is harder, than going from 1 to 10

    Very true. A job is fuel for entrepreneurial endeavours. Take it from me, I've been between jobs since December and it's almost impossible to juggle basic living and business ventures. Your boss' job is to make sure you're paid. Your job is to use that money - for better or worse. Also...

    Completely agree. It's a meeting ground for the weakest, most docile people in society. And it's worsened by the fact it's an impenetrable echochamber – leading to mass extremism. I've tried to join Reddit in the past to discuss niche topics, but I always ended up banned because I couldn't...
