    Is the road and industry your choosing more important than how "hard you work"?

    IDEA 
    If you can find a problem and fix it, you will have a business regardless of the industry. Ex: the taxi industry was unchanged for decades before Uber came along.

    How about using a no-code or low code platform such as Bubble or Flutter to create an SAS system that you can charge monthly for? This allows you to use your expertise to create a continuing income stream without doing additional work.:)

    Burned out software developer

    INTRO 
    Here's my challenge to you: lengthen your time horizon. You are thinking short term - today, this week, this month, this year. Your challenge is to think longer term. What will your life be like in 5 or 10 years if you keep doing what you are doing? Get real with yourself and if you don't like...

    Is it better to wait or start diving into RE investing? Will the market bust?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Given that no one can accurately and consistently predict the future, prediction is not a good basis for reliably making money. The best way to make money in real estate always has been and will continue to be to buy at below market prices. I'm not saying that it's easy or fast to do, but it...

    Is it better to wait or start diving into RE investing? Will the market bust?

    REAL ESTATE 
    The question isn't what is going to happen in the future, the question is do the numbers work now. If the opportunity can be profitable at today's prices and rates it will only be better if rates go down and you refinance at a lower rate. If rates go up, you are locked in at today's rate and can...

    I feel lost and high school is giving me PTSD. For real.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The reason you need to complete school and get your degree is not to please your mom or the value of the piece of paper. It’s to prove to yourself that you can do it. There will always be problems and challenges in everything you do for the rest of your life. The way you handle this one will...

    Can pursuing being a Music Artist be a Fastlane option?

    INTRO 
    Artificial intelligence is a huge potential threat to any kind of musician because it lowers the barrier to entry to almost zero and therefore the potential profit to almost $0. Spotify is fighting against this by removing tens of thousands of songs. But who knows what the future holds when...

    I don't know why, but I don't ever seem to be grateful when good things come my way.

    MINDSET 
    Congratulations on realizing that the problem is you! Most people continue to blame other people, places, and circumstances for their problems. So you are off to a good start. I suggest the need for “more, more, more” is the symptom not the problem. Ask yourself why you need more more and more...

    A fully operating business with no phone calls?

    MARKETING 
    My suggestion is to add the phone service as an upgrade option. Not everyone wants it and will be willing to pay for it but some will. Price it in a way it turns it into a profit center not an expense.

    Any coaches worth it?

    GURUS 
    Not all coaches and consultants are only after the money. Some genuinely want to help others succeed, and share their life experience to improve the lives of others.

    MINDSET 
    Congratulations on taking action and doing what your mentor recommended. I can’t tell you how many people want advice then decide it’s too hard, inconvenient or unpleasant. My mentor used to tell me that when I find the “easy” way, let him know, so he can do it too!

    How do you stop self sabotaging for good?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm going to suggest that you may be lacking a strong enough "why" to pull you forward consistently. Too many times we try to push ourselves using will power / systems/ accountability etc., but when we are constantly pushing we get exhausted because of the energy it takes. So we stop to rest -...
