    OMFG This Hurt

    RANT 
    It's not our job to wake everyone up... It comes down to two different types of people with fundamentally different beliefs: Gripers: These are people who believe that they're not responsible for their situation, society should change because the world is supposed to behave fairly, others...

    [Progress] Sanctus Nutrition - Supplement Company (and first real entrepreneurial pursuit)

    NOTABLE! 
    That's a tough question... First you need to know: Does your market actually care about the misuse of the word "natural"? If they care then you can definitely use it in marketing by pointing out your lack of natural flavors. But if they don't care, it won't help you unless you spend money to...

    [Progress] Sanctus Nutrition - Supplement Company (and first real entrepreneurial pursuit)

    NOTABLE! 
    I'd agree if he was targeting the mass market audience. But his market is more of the committed, health-conscious crowd. They want to be fit AND healthy. Personally, I don't think he should focus on taste at all. I would just focus on the science backed benefits. I fall right into his market...

    EXECUTION 
    Creating this thread to detail my progress in executing on the clever plan laid out by @MJ DeMarco here: (speaking about web development) So what have I done so far? I found a notable company with an outdated, poorly designed site, in a very large industry. I tried to get authorization to...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Midway through my second read... Another classic MJ :) I typed up a review on Amazon but it wouldn't let me submit the review. I even tried talking to customer service, and let's just say my experiences was not a SUCS one ;) Unscripted is informative, entertaining, and hard-hitting. I'm...

    My (successful) weight loss strategy.

    HEALTH 
    I actually did look at your links... Clearly he is an ectomorph. For certain people it is very hard to put on weight. One of the same natural bodybuilder friends I was talking about before needs to eat over 4000 calories just to gain weight. During a deficit he can eat 2800 calories. --- I...

    My (successful) weight loss strategy.

    HEALTH 
    Sounds like a good plan to me :) One thing to keep in mind... Workouts should still feel hard. But don't worry if you don't increase your strength during a deficit. A deficit is really more about maintaining your current strength than growing it. This will depend on how close you are to your...

    My (successful) weight loss strategy.

    HEALTH 
    Funny that you say I can't, because I did... Newbie gains are a VERY real thing. Because of this, body recomp is actually possible in the very beginning (Especially if you are someone who has put on 15lbs of fat), I didn't mention that fact because this thread is specifically about losing...

    I have a problem with MJ DeMarco (Follow your passion gets a beatdown)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Let me start off by saying that I don't think you have to give up both honestly... With that said, you will definitely have to define your priorities. Luckily this only takes a quick exercise: Write down what you want to accomplish in life, anything you want. Do you want to write a book? Run a...

    This is an awesome idea! Often I feel like I don't know much about the best contributors on TFLF. I'm sure they've all lived interesting lives and there are lessons to be learned just from their stories. It also helps new members get an idea of what various members have accomplished and where...

    Want Entrepreneurial Success? You NEED to Learn this First...

    Yea... it didn't take long for me to realize that the company had probably already found someone to do the job for them before I started looking into it. Regardless, waiting for opportunities never brings them any closer. By design, do you mean creating a mockup on photoshop or some other...

    Want Entrepreneurial Success? You NEED to Learn this First...

    I should've been more clear. I only made a homepage as a sample of what it would look like. I was just going to give it to them for free anyway, because their name carries weight, and the social proof from this one free client would kickstart everything.

    The Basics of Pricing

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Evenly rounded off pricing to indicate high-quality/luxury... I've read that evenly rounded off prices (e.x. $2000) imply higher quality and non-rounded prices (e.x. $1999) imply higher value. They also speak to different parts of the brain. Rounded prices are more likely to be bought...

    On the same team... I found seeing the process of converting a warm lead very useful. Very calm and casual conversation. Slowly showing them you care about their needs, building trust and that you're on the same team. That is the most important thing I noticed. You clearly put effort into...

    Turn Any Protein Powder into an Ice Cream Like Dessert - Need Feedback on FREEZINda™

    NOTABLE! 
    Honestly, I don't see the need... I've been lifting for 4 years and I don't really think that protein powder tastes bad. Optimum Nutrition makes good tasting protein powder. Their "extreme chocolate milk" flavor tastes great with just cold water. They are a huge brand and are known for having...
