    I'm an idea retard, how to alleviate the problem?

    IDEA 
    In my opinion, there are a few categories of business ideas: 1. Brand new ideas - properly “Zero to One” concepts, patentable products etc 2. Remixes of ideas - combining two or more concepts together to make something new or valuable 3. A valuable improvement of something old - See MJ’s value...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Thank you for writing this post! I am constantly beating myself up because I feel so far away from my $1 million revenue in 1 year target when things are actually going ok. Love the idea of using different meaningful metrics to keep the dopamine flowing.

    MINDSET 
    Think Boychamp nailed it. If you get your daily goals nailed then a reward doing whatever you like is very healthy. My best ideas come when I’m relaxing and it gives you time to recharge. Good luck finding your balance

    Failure is almost guaranteed if you ignore this one simple truth

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I find the post very relatable, not just the dead poker dream lol but lack of execution and excuses for my past business 'failures' (small revenue or no sales and quit after 1 year).

    Literally bought a book saying these exact points but not as concise as MJ worded it. Called: The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months The book also suggests to make it a '12 week' year than a 12 month year. Makes you less lazy once initial motivation goes and...
