    MINDSET 
    Another reminder that "comfortable" and "average" life of the 99% is a complete lie. Doing things like those in the video, that's F*cking living.1am here, back to work as well.

    Why You Shouldn't Major in Minor Things

    MINDSET 
    "Asking questions (permission) is simply a way of avoiding action. When you ask a question you get to wait for an answer. Waiting is the opposite of doing." -Victor Pride Agreed. 80/20 the shit out of your life. "It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential."...

    University Bundles

    EXECUTION 
    I bought my mini fridge on Craigslist and the guy had like 30 of them in the backyard. According to him it's a good hustle as they are fairly easy to fix and people who buy from him give their old fridges to him for free. He fixes them and resells. Hope that's relevant somehow haha

    Pretend that your success has a time stamp

    MINDSET 
    Your life does have a time stamp: it's the day you will die. While you may not know exactly when it's going to happen, it's certainly coming. No one makes it out alive. Most people waste precious time doing mindless work for the man or consuming instant gratification like they are going to...

    Setting Goals...and following them

    MINDSET 
    I read both and Compound Effect is more of a motivational book, although the main premise is correct (1% daily improvement is how you get where you need to go.) The One Thing is a lot more practical and teaches multiple very useful concepts ("One Thing"/80-20 principle; setting goals...

    In no way, shape or form should you be trying to relate to sitting 8+ hours in the cubicle and taking orders from some middle manager. This is a forbidden act on this forum, that shall lead you to the dreaded

    The real reason why you don't take action

    MINDSET 
    I used to be really conscious of fear of uncertainty. "What if I end up homeless?" "What if I don't have money to get food?" (The latter thing actually happened. In keeping with the caveman theme I would be dead without food in those times, but I'm alive and typing this. 21st century FTW) Then...

    Dream Big, Right?

    MINDSET 
    lol I used to flip about 2-3 cars a month. The buddy I did it with did 2-3 A WEEK on his own. Granted we're young and don't give a F*ck, but I've never seen that law enforced. And it's not hard to convince someone to float the title (let you not put your name on it). Especially when it's a...

    You've seen it a thousand times, but here it is again

    Community college hands down. I was able to try 3 different "careers" in it across 4 semesters (transfer-ready like english, math etc. - slowlane; business management - TMF and this forum is a much better schooling for that; computer science - good experience but so much shit to learn, easier...

    How To Best Monetize A Course?

    It's a unique angle. I used to work at Reverbnation and a lot of "rap artists" there could definitely use such a course haha. But of course you won't know if they will actually pay for it or not until you put it up somewhere, drive various traffic and test.

    I rather be a failed entrepreneur than an average employee that never took a risk

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    The only way to shut them up is massive success man. Use it as fuel to work that much harder. P.S. #1 regret of people on their deathbed: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself not the life others expected of me...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is an awesome technique. I tried reframing my fears your way and got this: Fear of failure... it's learning experience. Fear of learning. Fear of uncertainty... wonder what will happen. Fear of wondering. Put that way, they sound silly as hell. Just do it, indeed.

    Owning the market by cloning your existing business

    Good plan. A lot of companies do this, for example Coca-cola also offers vitamin water (Glaceau), sports beverage (Powerade), energy drink (NOS) etc. under their own brands, and as a whole they dominate the beverage market.

    Need some advice (follow your passion? Binary options?)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    This quote helped me when I was trying to figure out the passion equation: "It makes no sense to start a business that is going to have you doing the work you don't enjoy. That's as far as we need to take the passion equation. Think long and hard about what your day-to-day tasks will be...

    I’ll be rich and happy as soon as…….

    INTRO 
    Welcome. I like your attitude that you're not trying to make a million right away, but give yourself specific steps and ample time to do it. The general consensus is that you have to do something different or better than an existing business to start having success. For example: odds are not in...

    Lost job, $500 left, starting over

    EXECUTION 
    This is a great attitude you have. One time I completely bombed an idea (selling camping backpacks), then recently saw a guy wearing a similar backpack and struck up a convo with him. It turned out he owns 4 car dealerships in the area and we share similar interests, so he became a friend and a...
