    Quit Asking for Advice If You Ain't Doing Shit With It

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Bump. This thread kicked my a$$ long time ago, hope it helps someone else. When I stopped asking general questions and started to DO first, I started to make more money than I ever have. NOT a coincidence. "Asking questions (permission) is simply a way of avoiding action. When you ask a...

    Afraid to lose money? Or afraid to start making it?

    MINDSET 
    One weird trick :woot: I found is to live frugally, keeping extra money as your dry powder. When you know bases are covered (rent, food) it's mentally much easier to take the leap and spend on business. Then when you start making profits from it it's indeed "What an irrational fear. Why didn't...

    Advice Needed: Can I transition to Sales without sacrificing family time?

    MINDSET 
    It's a common procrastination technique. People ask a general question to supposedly get more info, but in reality it's their mind's subtle way of avoiding taking the leap NOW.

    So I started a business. Whats next?

    EXECUTION 
    I'm in the same boat as you OP (making some profits, but nowhere near my end goal) and I chose to focus 110% on the current biz. But not on growing it, instead on automating and outsourcing. Reason: lack of scale. In September I'll refocus 110% on my new idea, and if this one chugs along...

    Fresh out of highschool and very confused.

    You don't need to come up with a new idea at all right now. Just copy what is already selling and do it better. When you have more experience under your belt from that, you will have an easier time connecting the dots forward to come up with something truly new that solves a need.

    Article: 100 lessons from 100 entrepreneurs

    #1 for me easily. Steve Jobs: Remember you won't live forever. Remembering that I will have to die, and the people I care about will have to die one day is the best source of constant motivation that I have found. Waking up at XX age and realizing that I don't have enough time to fulfill all...

    Funny breakdown of marketing

    MARKETING 
    A professor explained marketing to MBA students: "You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You approach her and say 'I'm rich, marry me.' That's DIRECT MARKETING." "You attend a party and your friend approaches a gorgeous girl and says 'That's my friend. He is very rich. Marry him.' That's...

    Do you have to give up your social life to become rich?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Lack of time is lack of priorities. You can still have enough time to party as long as when you're working, you're actually WORKING, not just doing minutae things to play entrepreneur. Example: needlessly tweaking your website vs making 200 cold calls to get sales. Focus on high ROI activities...

    Creating a content based website

    EXECUTION 
    It's good that you are learning, but have you asked yourself if it's not just fear of failure in sales disguised? And by sales, I mean providing enough value to someone that they are willing to open their wallets. For example, Why don't you find a product aimed at college students and then...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    The underlying idea of this thread is GREAT. Focus on sales/marketing & speed is everything. Ex: I needed 2 fairly complicated banners made for my new site, looked up the tutorials for each element and it looked like I need to spend the whole weekend on just learning them, with no idea how the...

    Entrepreneurial highs and lows are really wild, and failure is a constant companion. You gotta really love this shit to make it. If one setback is enough to stop you then I got some bad news, because those happen every single day, and we just push through and never ever quit. "Do you really...
