    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Run of the mill day for the most part, but my mind is searching for any products or services that meet LSIS. I've found good ideas, and then worked them into newer ideas. Skews, skews, skews. However, nothing rock solid so far. I've started to read through "The Millionaire Fastlane" once...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Two ideas have entered stage 2, this is like a "filing cabinet" in my brain where they're stored for later consideration. I'm focusing on casting out my net, getting every available idea and sifting through them. Good ones get tossed in the bucket, crappy ones get tossed out back to sea...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I'm making it a point to note down all of the nuisances I encounter on a daily basis. So far, I have about five. I'm so keen on executing that I feel like I'm trying to rush the idea phase. I just want to start development! I have to be careful this doesn't result in pursuing low value ventures!

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Author's Note: This thread is mostly intended to be a personal diary. I'm not expecting people to skim through my intimidating blocks of text. However, the chance of somebody doing so and becoming inspired encourages me to post it freely on the forum. Moreover, this is likely more suited to...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    That makes an awful lot of sense. It's the correct path to be on: The road to Heaven feels like hell The road to hell feels like Heaven I always remind myself of this quote when I catch myself envious of party-goers on a Saturday afternoon. For context, I quit alcohol a long time ago. I...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I agree, in fact, a large chunk of my obsession is fuelled by this—more money=more time with those I love. I'd love to take my girlfriend and family away to somewhere special. When I'm tired, I visualise how they would look when seeing Disneyland for the first time, and that alone makes me work...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process - Vincent Van Gogh Usually, people seek advice on getting out of a rut - "How do I stop scrolling TikTok for 5 hours a day and become productive?" or "How do I stop changing plans every...

    Struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts...

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    Keep reading the book, the way Goggins lays it out is so much better than I could. Forget calisthenics, it's likely just a subconscious reason for you to avoid attending a public gym. Try a simple push/push/legs regime, and run or do some form of cardio at least once a week. Cardio is...

    Do you believe (almost) any business can succeed if the offer & brand is packaged correctly?

    Shut your mouth and get to work.

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    Agreed. I'm doing the same. There's always the snarky "Ohh, are you not a millionaire yet" jabs. It's like we have a genetic code most people don't. They don't understand thinking big.

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    Great thread idea, and I really wish there wss more traffic coming here. Out of all the sophisticated tech start-ups and robotic arms introduced on Shark Tank, a relatively simple sixty cent product from China was the most successful. It's a sponge. A sponge with a smiley face. A sponge...

    HOT! CHAT 
    Watching Shark Tank, and to be honest, some of these businesses raking in huge numbers aren't impressive or innovative at all. How the hell do you sell pseudo-ice cube containers for food and have a valuation of $8 million!!! Moreover, most stories have ZERO grit! It's as if these young...

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    I'm 24, and I was in a similar rut when I was 18-22. And I wasn't down in the dumps because I stubbed my toe, or because we didn't have enough maids in the house—I was likely suffering from CPTSD from witnessing stuff a young man/child should never witness. 1. The pain you're feeling is an...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Yup, this is pretty much every autobiography I've read. I heard Andrew Carnegie had a rough life, but it seems his most "tragic" memory is his mother shouting at his uncle or something. In contrast, people like Eric Thomas (who doesn't have an autobiography now) literally ate from trash cans...

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Been reading and listening to a ton of autobiographies. I still haven't found a truly gritty story of someone with a f*cked up early life that clawed their way out. In the entrepreneurial memoirs I've read, their biggest issue is not making payroll or being stressed while pulling in millions...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I understand, I've been there before. And if it wasn't for my excessive sweating issue, I'd probably be in the same boat. The sun is extremely important, and I've always said it's like a battery, charging up our souls for higher achievement. If SAD affects you to this point, it's definitely...

    My Idea is a Reality - Now What...? SEEKING ADVICE

    MARKETING 
    I agree here. It seems that you're trying to replicate tier 1 companies with your headline. A clever tagine with no subheading works for the big boys like Coca-Cola, Shopify and the like. Headline and subheading should summarise your whole USP within 5 seconds, whilst garnering the attention...
