    Quitting coffee for the last f-ing time goddammit.

    Over the past few days I've hit a breaking point, one I've been at before. My caffeine intake has just gotten away from me and I've hit past the point of declining returns. In short, I gotta go off coffee again. I listened to a lecture from Harvard Biz Review a few months ago that I can't get...

    Circle of Competence

    MINDSET 
    The other thing I realize is the difference between investing (where circle of competence gives you an edge) and entrepreneurship (where comfort zones hold you back): and this is talked about in TMF - typically you don't become rich via investing, you become rich via entrepreneurship. Once you...

    Circle of Competence

    MINDSET 
    Good point, what you describe is usually termed "widening your circle". (Even Buffet eventually did go on to make some technology investments, so at some point he must have learned how to "turn a computer on"). The interesting point you raise is the phenomenon that growth occurs outside your...

    My dad is being burned out

    One of the formative memories I have of my father and my childhood was one day the phone ringing and my dad answering it. He listened for awhile and then said "ok" and hung up. It was the union steward telling him not to go to work the next day because they were staging a walkout. That was the...

    Great post. Brings two mind two secret weapons in my arsenal: Steve Siebold: 177 Mental Toughness Secrets (or even better, the 12 CD Mental Toughness University series) Psycho Cybernetics by Dr Maxwell Maltz. You know how sometimes you engage in daydreaming like "if I could go back and...

    Discovering A Need

    Thanks Nomad. Similar one I was just thinking about recently, but when you catch yourself thinking "somebody ought to ...." STOP RIGHT THERE. Somebody ought to what? What if that somebody is you, then what happens? I'm surprised I didn't mention this one originally because that's pretty well...

    Circle of Competence

    MINDSET 
    I just blogged about "Circle of Competence", which is a Warren Buffet expression for sticking to what you know. As I mention in the post, sticking to what you know isn't the same thing as "doing what you love" (I just read that section of TMF, so it was on my mind) Anyway, I was going through...

    Domain question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Correct. You can either do it with URL forwarding or you can do it on the web server side, like in .htaccess See domainHelp » 301 Redirect

    Well like I said, domain names with double-letters on the word boundries make things complicated :)

    Domain question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'd actually recommend he gets: cattoys.com cat-toys.com catoys.com (typo version) Done properly, you will not get SEO penalized, you just need to do what's called a "301 redirect" of the variant domains to the main domain (the "301" is very important). The reason: The main...

    The guy whose site he ripped could have the domain registrar take the site down. Just send a DMCA takedown notice to Godaddy, they'll probably do it (Godaddy is one of those registrars that takes down sites first and asks questions later. They'll probably ding the guy a few hundred bucks as an...

    omg, this happened to me once. Some guy from a white supremacist message board hotlinked an image on one of my sites as his forum avatar! I found an image of a white guy getting, erm, mounted by a non-white one (let's just say I had "safesearch" disabled when I googled images) and *presto*...

    As a newbie here I'm glad the community has integrity and standards. Somebody mentioned Warrior Forums, which I discovered years ago and felt repulsed by the place. Full of losers, IMHO. This place is the antithesis. Really glad I found it. I've had the same thing happen to me, I wrote an info...

    Fastlaner At Risk - Need Advice

    HOT! 
    A long time ago somebody told me "all cash cows die eventually" and I didn't believe them. I didn't want to believe them because I owned one and I wanted it to last forever. I took it easy, became a father and basically coasted for four years. Once the kid started school I stepped back into...

    Never mind “manifesting moneyâ€, how about becoming rich?

    EXECUTION 
    I just posted in the Books section that I've given away my first copy of Fastlane to a former bandmate whom I think may really run with it (he's a sidewalker now though). The preamble I'm sending as a sort of "cover letter" to the book is something I wrote on my blog a few years ago: Never mind...

    Buying the Dot-Com, Should I buy Net, Biz, Org too?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    General rule of thumb, and it's the recommendation of one of the most successful domainers in the world (a guy named Frank Schilling): you get the .com, .net, .org and then the ccTLD (country code) of your main country you do business in, i.e. .us or .ca. That's it, forget the rest. Especially...
