    If a mafia boss was right that 'any man can make $1M in a month using his brain' — what would YOU do to make $10K?

    MINDSET 
    I get it, but to go back to your original post.. maybe I'm missing a leak in what you say.. "Build & sell agents and agentic implementation. Go make an agent and try to lease it to a business for $99/mo, or $499/mo, along with a $5k implementation fee. Literally millions of use cases for...

    The short answer? learn. Therein lies a lot of the trouble nowadays, people are trying to skip to the solution without doing the yards in a problem. I get it I suppose I'm just offering a perspective, you will have much less friction fishing if you know what lurks beneath and can pick the...

    It is, but even then a very, very vague statements and the end sentiment actually aligns with what I'm saying. The new deal, the railroad expansion, WW2 are all specific events with relatively specific outcomes. People calling "AI" the gold mind are akin to the dot com claims. AI will persist...

    PEOPLE EXECUTION QUESTION 
    My two cents - I hate this approach as a model. It's funny out of interest I whacked into gpt "take everything you know about me and produce a business idea to generate an additional 10k in the next month. It's response was approach companies with a blanket "I can find $x amount of efficiences...

    funny thing is in many instances, the strategies aren't unavailable due to not being beneficial, they're unavailable as they can't charge you what they would want. Tax law is nowhere near as complicated as it is made out to be if you are willing and have an interest in learning. I guess that...

    MINDSET 
    Plenty of money to be made in AI - BUT - and I'm not trying to be anti mainstream but I think that is a lot of the hype with AI.. People in a rush to sell agents without being laser clear on what for. An AI "agent" doesnt add the same value everywhere, some SAAS / software are immensely more...

    I'm actaully excited about the prospect of retiring in my 40s but I consider retirement "Having to get up and hussle" I think in reality, "retirement" for me lines up with WJK's outlook, choosing to do something because it has meaning enjoyment or passion but being able to pack it in tomorrow...

    Oh absolutely agree, I meant that I'm realising that I'm pushing because I'm not done rather than because I'm trapped on a hamsterwheel which feels a good re-frame. Certainly not at a point financially where I can do what I want to do (without significant risks that I'm simply not prepared to...

    UPDATE: Built a site for a local buddy's classic car restoration shop. Here's the business model. Tear it apart. (classicautorebuildpartner.com)

    MARKETING SIDE HUSTLE STORY 
    As a car lover who would consider the service if it say halved the price of work done locally, Immediate reaction to the site is - not enough before/after examples of successful restorations - not nearly enough trust gained. To me, testimonials mean nothing these days. Words on a page from a...

    What is the WORST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    A few training courses/programmes and done for you packages by gurus come to mind.. I've paid good money to fast track some ecommerce success - the website and products selected, developed and delivered, frankly were poor from someone that I'd followed for some time. The systems simply didn't...

    would they reveal it to us? why? I can't imagine we would ever get the full story. The scientist thing does grab me, I go between thinking it's confirmation bias and conspiracy weekly :happy: Theres potential that it's a bit of both - the conspiracy being that they were on to something - but...

    It's a strange paradox. I think it's arrogant to think we are special and the only ones around, but it's equally arrogant to think that advanced species would find the need to hide amongst us and monitor us. it's possbile that some crafts may have crashed, been captured and there are frightning...

    Thanks for the perspective all very true and I suppose like chasing the horizon, sometimes you miss stopping to smell and admire the flowers you've arrived at, the chance to look at a beautiful sunset behind you and the people you're standing with. The difference between eternally chasing, and...

    Getting married young was the best decision ive ever made

    HOT! ASSERTION MINDSET 
    Marriage is hard. you're locked in to someone, their traumas, their quirks, and choosing to be there through it all and grow in a way that benefits you both not just yourself. Which is an admirable quality. Growing together, arguing together, laughing together. I didn't get married at 26 but...

    People dont care about strangers...

    MINDSET RANT 
    Everyone is going through something. That being said, never cease to be amazed by how much strangers do care. I have and do go out of my way to extend some kindness to strangers where I can. Sometimes my own stuff takes over and I don't feel I have the capacity or awareness to, others out of...

    strange start to the week.. Collected the keys to my new showroom and office. It's tiny and doesn't have the premiu feel I' used to which is a bit of a shock to the system. But it's costing me half the money and has the other benefits. New home unit will be done in a month with space for 6 more...
