    Do You Think Anti-AI Apps Are A Value Skew?

    - AI - 
    You can develop AI models yourself, as long as you remain a businessman foremost and an engineer second. I see so many engineers releasing their work for free (open source), and while it helps the community as a whole, it doesn't help them financially speaking. If you can code I'd definitely...

    Do You Think Anti-AI Apps Are A Value Skew?

    - AI - 
    would you rather be part of the ones who invested in the dot com boom (or should I rather say, internet businesses) or the ones who whined and hated those promoting it? Where are the latter today anyway? I would bet money those hating on AI ain't going anywhere. You can't stop AI from being...

    1 million dollars is nothing nowadays?

    MINDSET 
    Sure, I'm not crying about having a million, it's just an odd feeling and felt the desire to share it. Because I grew up in poverty and always thought 1 million was a lot of money, until I got close to having it. I agree that the way forward isn't to cry about it but simply move forward and...

    1 million dollars is nothing nowadays?

    MINDSET 
    Woah. I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand 1 million seems fairly attainable to most people, but once you get there you realize you don't feel that much richer than before. I sometimes still take the bus and public transport for instance which may sound funny but I just don't feel...

    1 million dollars is nothing nowadays?

    MINDSET 
    Getting close to 1 million in net worth and I just realized how it's not as much money as I once imagined, especially when considering a decent apartment anywhere in Europe starts at 350k euros. In the US I bet that number is double or triple. Then it came to me. This idealization of "being a...

    $2M net worth at 26: Here's what I learned so far...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    In the past 3 years I have read mostly books that solved the problem right in front of me. I must thank MJ for that, as I remember reading a post that he made here in the forum years ago where he suggested basically that. And it makes a lot of sense, also from an efficiency point of view. I...

    it's another SaaS. I learned from my first SaaS 'failure' which took me 2 years of my life to build this one. I had no money left, I was still living with my parents. I quit my job 2 years earlier to start my first SaaS and got back living with my parents. Now couldn't even find a job...

    I am reaching 800k net worth at 24 and these are the things I attribute the most to my success in the past 5 years: - Chase difficulty. It's counter intuitive but as MJ said in Unscripted, difficulty is the opportunity. Difficulty = high barriers to entry = less competition = more opportunity...

    Addiction Doesn’t Exist: The Billion-Dollar Lie Keeping You Stuck

    BOOKS MINDSET HEALTH 
    Addiction is real. In the simplest terms it's just you having reinforced your pleasure pathways so much that the behavior becomes unconscious or hard to resist. Dopamine levels rise before the behavior to guide you towards that same behavior. In essence, dopamine is like a motherfcker telling...

    MINDSET 
    I used to wake up at 4 AM to go to the gym when I was 21. 6 days a week, during covid, cause they shut down the gyms after 6 PM so I had to go before my 9-5 job. When you want the end result badly enough, you realize you either do what you need to do to get it, or, the only alternative is whine...

    anyone else hates living in apartments?

    REAL ESTATE 
    It doesn't hurt to increase your standards constantly. If you compare yourself to the bottom of the population, you'll settle for a mediocre life. I'd compare myself to the richest people in the philippines instead, so you get an idea of what can be accomplished.

    anyone else hates living in apartments?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I guess that's a thing in the US, never heard of it in Europe. Most luxury apartments in Europe are actually crappy, they are just "luxury" in the aesthetic point of view. What I mean is, you may have a luxurious looking toilet but you can hear every single thing your neighbor is doing on the...

    anyone else hates living in apartments?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I was wondering if I am the only one who hates the idea of buying and living in an apartment, with strangers surrounding you. I came to realize that living in an apartment is not frowned upon cause everyone does it, but if I look at it objectively, it's a pretty shitty way of living: 1. You...

    Have You Become a Delusional Knowledge Zombie?

    MINDSET NEWSLETTER 
    I always like to think in terms of cause and effect. Everything you have in your life is because of certain actions or inactions. There's always a cause. Change the causes to change the effects. I realized that when going out with my old friends. That wasn't getting me anywhere. They were...

    Rejected from UNI: My parents affecting my life choices

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    Start with an industry you like, then reverse engineer, look for problems in that industry and gaps or potential innovations. Most people start with "I want to make money" and choose an industry randomly. I did that for around 3 years and it never worked out. It's easier to work and face...

    Rejected from UNI: My parents affecting my life choices

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    I wrote this post 5 years ago. I was lost and thought my parents had the right to control my life. Took a chance and went my own way, studied in uni for 1-2 years (in an 'average' university which later accepted me - a mix of economics and computer science), dropped out, then continued to learn...

    investing in the stock market does not seem right

    INVESTING 
    Don't have any. That's why I am looking to buy an apartment. Trying to decide where to buy it (country). In Europe, price tends to vary a lot based on the country. I am currently in Eastern Europe but am considering moving to the Czech Republic, and prices are quite high there.

    investing in the stock market does not seem right

    INVESTING 
    I agree, I changed my way of thinking since I originally made that post. I also managed to scale the biz to $60k net profit/month. It's easier to invest your money when you don't make the average salary, cause it's not as slow. So now I have basically 80% of my net worth in the stock market...

    investing in the stock market does not seem right

    INVESTING 
    This probably deserves a post on its own but MJ, your books changed my life. I was 19 when I first came across Unscripted and I was reading it in high school literally during classes and my teachers got pissed off at me cause I wasn't following the lessons. I just knew what I wanted and those...

    Moving to Bali

    HOT! CHAT 
    Bali looks like a glamorized third-world country. Been there and didn't like it. If you've never been there and considering relocating there, you're crazy, go visit first. It's definitely not cheap either, idk where people get that from, unless you go to rural/non-touristic areas. Why an...
