    Nassim Taleb's barbell strategy

    This is a popular strategy that most know about or can come up with, surprised Nassim felt the need to write an entire book about it. I'm sure there's extra detail that makes it worthwhile, might check it out later.

    Anyone thinking of buying real estate in 2021？

    I've been told real-estate will no longer be as lucrative as it once was and that the future is in investments into cryptocurrency.

    MARKETING 
    There are so many marketing agencies. Why does yours stand out to clients? What do they actually value from you that they can't get by themselves or from another cheaper agency? Hope the question isn't too intrusive, I am genuinely curious!

    Wealth inequality and poverty

    RANT 
    Life isn't black and white. I get your point about laziness, but tragic events happen to people daily. Some people take up drugs/smoking/gambling to take their mind off the painful reality of their life. For example, I know of a guy from highschool who killed himself by swallowing pills. He...

    Is being a Yoga Teacher fastlane?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm surprised no one has shared more critical feedback. So I'll play devil's advocate. Overall I think you need to re-read MJ's book x3 more times. Here are red flags: 1. You say that you want to start a trash bag brand - maybe you live in a vastly different society than I do (probably the...

    How do i overcome inertia in life, and make my first $1

    MINDSET 
    Do what @j0elsuf said. Most importantly, your biggest problem is DISCIPLINE. It doesn't f*cking matter how you'll make money online with your kind of mindset. You need to improve your focus and be disciplined. It's easier said than done but it's possible. Until then, no matter what you do...

    Tired of this f*cking life

    INTRO 
    100k's advice is good. You seem to be at 'rock bottom' right now. When I'm at rock bottom and all my efforts are futile, I usually go back into scripted mode and get a job, for the following reasons: 1. Having a job stops me from banging my head against the wall (ruminating is not good) 2...

    Is it possible to reduce your ambition to become happier?

    HEALTH 
    Update: I got a job to keep me distracted by day, and at night I focus on business. Sounds counterintuitive, but I feel more productive knowing that I don't have all day to think about why my marketing isn't working , or the time to get lost in reading too much about a problem I'm having...

    How to deal with the frustration of not moving forward?

    MINDSET RANT 
    Is this an absolute truth in business & entrepreneurship? Or does it apply only in certain cases? Do you need to love the journey? Or are you saying that as long as you don't completely hate it, you're on the right track? I'm working towards something, but the journey is not fun and I dislike...

    Is it possible to reduce your ambition to become happier?

    HEALTH 
    I'll also look for that thread. If you can find it, I'd appreciate it too. To answer your question, I am creating, I am acting on all my ambitions but not much result aside from a few indicators of interest and sales calls. But I continue prospecting, redesigning etc. to try and make something...

    Is it possible to reduce your ambition to become happier?

    HEALTH 
    I'm at a point in my life where I'm making progress but I seem to have this never-ending desire to do more and be more. My problem is that I have too much ambition. People in our community rarely discuss this and I feel like it's because I'm one of the rare few who has this problem. Imagine...

    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I'm with my close friend @Lex DeVille on this. At the end of the day, the most basic function of life is to continue your genetic lineage. If you can't do that, then your lineage ends with you. This makes you a biological failure. However, there are also good reasons to not have children. At...

    2 ideas that I'm looking for partners for

    IDEA 
    Biophase sh*t on my linkedin idea awhile back, it's doing numbers now. Ideas are important and so is execution. Best of luck, ignore the doubters, it's always easy to criticize and talk. Nobody ever does the hard part - which is actually executing.

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The hardest thing for me is validating need. Genuine need. Everything else is just mechanics. Limiting beliefs, fear of not making it, not knowing if you should find a new idea etc. are all thrown out the window when you have a product/service that people genuinely want to spend money to...
