    Sidewalkers read nothing but fiction?

    Almost any place that has (used) books will be stuffed to the brim with commercial fiction. A ton of it gets printed and it's not really meant to be re-read or held on to. I remember when I was young and at my first used bookstore. I had a big fancy hardbook version of some hot author's latest...

    The desktop background that raises productivity

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not my desktop, but the background of the timer app I use to keep myself on track. I did it first as a gimmick really, but it was surprisingly motivating, and I kicked things into another gear of productivity. "Second prize is a set of steak knives."

    Is the NEED great enough to pursue this idea?

    IDEA 
    I don't think guys would really want a "guys meet guys" network. I think guys might want a network based around common interests (sports, electronics, business, boobs, beer) that has a heavy local emphasis. GettingDrunkAndDoingAwesomeThings.com/Atlanta or whatever. But is that a need that...

    Loving people

    PEOPLE 
    It's a process. You look at those people and you being are event-minded. It's no difference than the people who go, "Oh why can't I be rich like that." You don't go to bed one day isolated and unsocial and then wake up the next day gregarious with many meaningful friendships. There will be a...

    Is this a coincidence?

    So the cover is a rip-off attempt to "brand hijack" (or whatever you want to call it), and if you believe that one review, the book content itself is plagiarized. Just some hack looking to make a quick buck, I'd guess. Love the pen names - "Marco Devor" "MJ DeMarco"

    5 Marketing Lessons From the Super Bowl's Most Popular Commercials

    MARKETING 
    You have to be aware of a product before you can buy it. Back when I was a noob and just wanted to register my first domain, I believe I went to GoDaddy before I even ran a "best domain registrar" search. Being at the forefront of your mind like that as the most visible provider in their...

    Do you consider working for Goldman Sachs a fastlane job?

    Depends on their expenses. I've read about guys like that that spend like sidewalkers. But yeah I'd say anything that lets you net a million+ a year is fastlane. Even if you're working 100 hour weeks for that as someone's bitch, you do it for a few years then go do something else. The key...

    What if EVERYONE were legally required to carry a concealed weapons permit?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The massacre wasn't there.

    What if EVERYONE were legally required to carry a concealed weapons permit?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think guns are a scapegoat much of the time. Taking them away . . . having even more people be armed . . . oftentimes it's a way of avoiding the fact that we're the ones that are f*cked up, not our weapons or our lack of them. It's easier to blame our violence on the weapons though.

    Update on the Mentor Group & Free Real Estate Book

    REAL ESTATE 
    Honestly you promised mentoring and didn't deliver. I'm not interested in seeing someone who doesn't deliver tear other people down for not following through.

    My horrible attempt at closing clients

    FUNNY 
    So much gold in this thread. I loved the "burst productivity" discussion, and that is how I've always gotten the most done. Possibly that's because of my ADD and stuff, but it's hard to know. It just seems to work. I actually thought the video was pretty funny. I'm glad you reposted it. I'm not...

    MJ, please remove affiliate links in posts (VigLinks)

    Or 'autobiography' in "It sounds like you can write my autobiography" links to . . . car listings. :eusa_clap: Honestly I think these links are no-value-added trash, and when first visiting a site I tend to not return if it is littered with these.

    Wow, I think I'm envious for the first time ever

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Why would anyone use it? You say "we all have trouble getting traffic to our web sites," but as someone with a website who's working on building traffic to it, I don't see why I'd use the site. Perhaps there's some nominal SEO benefit (I kind of doubt it though), but I'm not really interested in...

    I hit the 1st page of google......Should I be bracing for lots of visitors?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Many do, but not always in a sustainable way. Also, that term gets 400 local hits I think, so you're looking at lower competition possibly.

    I didn't know the coffee was hot!

    Good lord that's gruesome. I can't even think rationally after reading what he did to her. Seems like there's been a lot of really sick shit in the news lately.

    The Fallacy of the "Good Idea"

    IDEA 
    Wow, felt like I should point out that this video is not just a one-off presentation on ideas. It's part of a massive set of clips he's put together that comprise a whole course in starting businesses. What a gift!

    How to go about getting better at spotting money making opportunities?

    MINDSET 
    Almost every day I find myself doing something pointlessly complicated and time-intensive that could be made much simpler by the right entrepeneur. "Can I do that better?" "Can I make that simpler, easier?" Pick an industry and examine shortcomings in the supply chain. Can you step in...
