    Money is useless! (by itself)

    MINDSET 
    OK, I'll admit I'm not qualified enough to have a say on this, because I'm really not rich. But nevertheless, I'd like to provoke a discussion, especially since I'm from a third-world country where the job market is a lot worse than in the developed world. And I intentionally titled this thread...

    Why do people buy?

    IDEA 
    "'Why do people buy?' is a thousand times more important than 'How do I sell?' No, let me correct that... it's one million times more important than 'How do I sell?' No, let me correct that... it's one billion times more important than 'How do I sell?' Get the picture?" - Page 7 of The Little...

    The world NEEDS YOU!

    MINDSET 
    I was walking to school when I was thinking of the ever increasing suicide rates of young men (and women too!) around the world. Where have we failed? Why are are people ending their infinitely valuable lives? Even from a selfish perspective, you can also think what they could have produced for...

    The WORST slogan ever!

    MINDSET 
    "Curiosity killed the cat" I'm flabbergasted on how a four word slogan has caused millions of people to stay scared of the unknown. This fear of new information causes people to stay stupid, poor and worse, prideful and arrogant towards new information. And because of this lack of knowledge...

    What exactly is money anyways?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I recently bought The E-Myth Revisited yesterday and I haven't opened the wrapping yet. However, I have a feeling that this book would give me another perspective of what money actually is, and I want to write this thread as a way to journal my mindset shifts, and to see if anybody else can...

    Do you believe in something your past self would've laughed at?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    In chapter 97 of The Great Rat Race Escape, MJ wrote how his 2015 self would have rolled on the floor laughing had he known he would turn vegan by 2017. I also experienced a very similar thing a few months ago, although not about veganism. Have you guys ever experienced this? Do you currently...

    How to learn to be bored?

    HEALTH 
    Wished there was a "mental health" tag for posts tbh. Just now I caught myself scrolling through Instagram for a solid hour after coming home from work instead of doing something passively productive. I genuinely think my dopamine receptors are fried now. I think Luke Smith made a good point...

    Profit on the first sale? Or sell at loss?

    EXECUTION 
    Hello guys, so I met an old friend of mine and talked about his goals, dreams and struggles. And now I have a few ideas on how to help him. I feel like taking the "sell first, then build" approach, but I struggle with making a goal for the price. Should I aim to make profit straight away, or...

    Best tips on hiring?

    OK, sorry I had to ask an embarrassing question like this that has probably been answered thousands of times, but I don't know what keywords to type in the search bar and I'm having trouble searching threads. So, I'll ask for help. What are the best tips on hiring people to help other people...

    Introverts and introversion: How to succeed in an extroverted world.

    Hello, I recently moved away from my parents to a student dorm. As said in TGRRE, we need to engage with the market. I feel like I'm struggling with engaging with the market. I feel that my friend circle in campus is way too small at about 4 people, and I don't even see these friends very often...

    What challenged the "it’s always been done?" argument?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hello, so I've been reading The Great Rat Race Escape and I'm at Chapter 97: "The Porous Belief strategy". Just out of curiosity, what has challenged MJ's old belief of "Well, that’s how it’s always been done?" of eating meat? Was it a book? I want to learn more about it, thank you!

    Thoughts on dropping out of university.

    MINDSET 
    Hello. I've already read TMF and just began reading TGRRE, but having only a couple days left until the end of my second semester, I'll soon be charged with the fee for the next semester. But I feel that unlike other "dropping out of college to go fastlane" threads here, my situation is a bit...

    Re-read TMF or read Unscripted or read TGRRE?

    So TMF was one of the first 10 books I read when I first got into reading, but I made the beginner mistake of not taking notes. Hence, I forgot probably 50% of it. Should I give it a second read or read one of the other books? And if so which one?

    Experiences with open source projects?

    PEOPLE 
    I'm not really sure where to put this thread, so I'll just post it here. (Hopefully it doesn't end up in landfill) I'm a university student in IT and I want to build my portfolio. I thought that although project open-sourcing probably won't make a lot of money, it probably has many other...

    Is day trading a good side hustle?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Being in a developing country, earning about $50 a month as a university student is very helpful. Do you guys think that day trading can be a good way to earn a bit of extra cash?

    Best way to go from $10 to $200 online?

    SIDE HUSTLE RANT 
    Man why does going from $0 to $200 have to be such a pain in the a$$ in the third world? (Hey, that could be a business idea worth solving!) This sounds like a really dumb question but I live in an overpopulated third world country, and anyone from a similar situation like me would understand...

    Hey guys, so I just finished reading The Millionaire fastlane a few minutes ago and never before have I felt more inspired and motivated.
