    Do You Ever Reward Yourself With Consumption?

    MINDSET 
    I noticed I've been delaying consumption for a couple of years now. I use a Chinese 100$ phone, wear clothes I bought 6 years ago, have no car, and generally speaking I don't consume shit. I don't have social media/Netflix either because that's an even worse kind of consumption. You consume...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    In today's world, we are more prone to feel lonely because of social media and the rapidness of the digital world. It doesn't matter anymore whether you have a prefrontal cortex or not, social media is here to F*ck it up for you. Gen Z has the attention span and self-awareness of a chimpanzee...

    Front-end Developer: Moving from 9-5 to Freelancing?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I see this all the time. People fall for the shortcut that does not exist. Web development is not easy and it's not a get rich quick strategy. If you are not willing to code everyday for 10 hours multiplied for 14+ months, don't even bother. That's how long it took me to get good at it. The...

    Front-end Developer: Moving from 9-5 to Freelancing?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    The majority of this forum focuses on informative web design from what I see. What I do is more web development for web apps (SPAs), using frameworks like React or Vue, plus back-end development with REST/GraphQL APIs. I think making websites for companies isn't real added value in 2021(22)...

    Front-end Developer: Moving from 9-5 to Freelancing?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I've been working 9-5 as a front-end dev for 2 months but I'm already sick of it. I think what I'm sick of is the fact that my company doesn't allow for remote working more than 1-2 days a week, plus the commute/staying in a cubicle. My company is in the financial sector so anything you could...

    Best book on hiring people to boost your business' growth?

    I'm looking to hire some people to help me build my business. I'm a web developer but the platform I am building is, unfortunately, going to take a long time and I need some help. I was wondering if anyone knows a great book on hiring people. I'm not talking about just the act of hiring great...

    Living in a "shithole" and saving more money, or living in a decent place but saving less?

    Yeah the place is Amsterdam and I guess you're right. I should be able to find something if I look every day. Anyways I think the term "hostel" makes you think of some place with broken walls and dirt all around but this hostel looks very good from the pictures and reminds me of college dorms...

    Living in a "shithole" and saving more money, or living in a decent place but saving less?

    I'm probably moving in a month from my parents' home and away from my country. I don't have any money left but I'm moving out because I got a job offer abroad. That said, I was wondering whether to save money on rent so I can launch my business in 3-4 months or rent a "decent" place that costs...

    How to learn Branding?

    MARKETING 
    Analyze the most famous businesses and figure out what they have in common. Look at Coca-Cola, Ferrari, Louis Vuitton, Facebook. Some hints: they stand for something, their name is well known/recognized, they impacted many people (whether positively or negatively), they have a mission/purpose...

    Trademarking

    I've been building an online business for 3 months (no, it's not a blog/dropshipping website). I predict it will take me another 3-4 months to complete. I was wondering, should I register the trademark right away or wait for the first customers/users before? I've read it takes 12-18 months to...

    Is "playing to your strengths" myth or reality?

    MINDSET 
    While I was coding for my uni class test, I asked myself this simple question: "am I playing to my strengths?". I realized I'm the kind of dude who prefers learning 5 different things and getting good results instead of focusing on one single topic and getting excellent results. I noticed my uni...

    Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy - Book Discussion

    BOOKS 
    I saw your recommendation on the books thread and decided to give it a read. I was left amazed after 5 pages. Completely shifted my perspective. I've always thought that the best way to reach your goals was to screw up everyone else and just do everything by yourself, design, marketing, coding...

    Thoughts on YouTuber MrBeast?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Cialdini wrote in his 40 years old book that when you give something for free, people will be willing to reciprocate and pay you back in some way. This is an evolutionary acquired behavior response. Nothing surprising. That's what gurus do with free e-books. What changes is the currency and...

    Are new TLD's really valuable or is it some coping strategy?

    INVESTING 
    There's some debate going online that the TLD's are not as important anymore. I honestly disagree with that since the .com was and will always be the TLD most valued by individuals and businesses probably because it's so deep in our neural pathways that any other TLD seems lame and with it comes...

    What are your maxes on the big compound lifts?

    HEALTH 
    I've been doing them since when I was 16 or something. Had girls (I knew) in high school constantly touch my a$$ (double standards?). Do hip thrusts twice a week and after a year a girl's a$$ won't seem as exciting. You'll most likely stare at yours every day, even if you are not Patrick...
