    Year End Thought Exercise: 10 Questions to Ask about This Year

    MINDSET 
    Thank you for the format, MJ. I'll take my time to do this privately tonight, as there's some highly personal things I'd rather not to be published in here. Wishing you all an even better 2026!

    Self-esteem? Warrior mindset? How to find pleasure in work, instead of hyperreality.

    BOOKS MINDSET RANT 
    Just get your shit done and use your hobbies as a reward. It rewires your brain. I can't truly relax unless work is finished, and a workout was completed (unless it's a dedicated rest day). It's not a philosophical dilemma. It's not that complicated. Rewire your brain.

    The war against your self esteem

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    Testosterone levels are highly correlated with self-esteem. A lot of entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking "exercise + good diet doesn't contribute to my business goals – therefore, it's a waste of time". Just throwing it out there: walking in a room full of fat/unhealthy people with a...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    Thank you, my friend. While the gym app is sort of a side thing as I get my coffee biz going, it's been extremely fun to build. As for your questions: 1. The plan is to ONLY increase their weekly streak if a workout is above a certain time threshold. If the user decides to circumvent it, so...

    Thank you, sir. This is the exact type of feedback I'm looking for – the landing page defintely needs some refining. Free samples will be coming once I (hopefully) reach my Kickstarter funding goal for a pilot batch. Influencers will also have a small allocation, so I'll send some free...

    This app is actually insane. It's the sole reason I can wake up in the mornings. There's these missions that literally force you to get out of bed.

    As technology "grows", many things are simply getting worse. Is it the law of diminishing returns, planned obsolescence, or both? The biggest example is gym equipment. The gym I've just left due to moving away recently installed new machines. They all suck. Why is the chest press handle...

    Breaking The Paradigm Paradox (2025 BluePrint)

    GOLD! STORY 
    Great read. You have a good head on your shoulders ESPECIALLY for being 19. I'm only 25, but when I'm 19? Shit, I was spending my last euro on party paraphernalia (think we all know what that is) and booze. I'm excited to see where this thread goes, and I'd love to hear updates as you go...

    Experiment: hiring students as salespeople for d2d home services?

    MARKETING 
    A few cards pinned on notice boards throughout major universities would suffice here. I'd recommend that you try to catch students who have just began their studies, because a lot of students close to graduating will start to seek a job that provides them with a critical work permit.

    I'm lost and I don't know what to do anymore after 5 years.

    You have a distinct advantage here. You've been through hell and back, do you think a little rut is worse than what you already overcame? You're much stronger than all of your colleagues because you've been in the shit. It can't get any worse than it already has been. Life is offering you...

    What's the best food on Earth for your body? Simple: Lamb/Beef Liver. Liver is particularly odd, because it's the only food I've eaten that makes me feel like I have superpowers for 30-45 min afterwards. I can't explain this. I love my carbs, but there's literally ZERO bloat or...

    I made a landing page using AI in about 10 minutes.

    MARKETING 
    Buying a domain and setting up a professional email is about 45 minutes of work (if not shorter), and costs probably $5-10. See how your market responds and work from there. I wouldn't waste time in registering your company etc. until you've made some sales. Remember: until there's money coming...

    How do you keep yourself accountable?

    There was never a choice. It's just something I do, whether I feel like it or not. Same with working out. As men, we just get shit done. There's no room for the dude who can't get himself "motivated" in the grand scheme of things. Not being a dick, but you shouldnt need to be motivated or...

    Dating Apps are F*cking Broken, I'm Thinking of a Possible Solution

    Think people are being a bit harsh. There's a ton of feedback here, and your video gives a face to the words. Plus, I'm not sure about others–but I really couldn't give less of a F*ck about what the public thinks of what "TheWiseGuy" has to say. Lastly, I believe @Dark Water has a point...

    After some research, I've learned that a minimum of 200mg L-Theanine is most effective when combined with caffeine. As such, I've let the manufacturer know. This will likely increase my COGS, but stuff like this is better to learn BEFORE ordering pilot batches. Additionally, it'll need to be...

    It would be interesting to see how you incorporate this. Why is your solution better than having a mutual interest with somebody on Hinge, and scheduling a mini golf date from there? What will your app do differently that heavily encourages irl dates based on a common interest? On another...
