    Is this a good idea II?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    I agree with what ChatGPT came up with... (inspired by the recent thread on ChatGPT) It also seems that you have done your surface level research required. The next step, which is the difficult bit, is the testing/execution. You need to get out there and actually test the idea. Here is a...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I read for learning rather than entertainment so I think it's a great investment! I get to learn from others people's mistakes which helps guide me in the right direction.

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Here's what I did today! For some context, I am starting an SMMA. I understand, now, that it is very saturated and breaks the commandment of entry. Despite that, I'm going to continue to work on it for now as I am learning some valuable skills and experience that I can use anywhere in business...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I manage my time using a simple database on an app called Notion. Each task has different characteristics such as priority and time it takes and is sorted using them. That way I can easily pick the best next task to do. Sure, tomorrow I will be working 6 hours so should give 12 logs :)

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Exactly! For example, For cooking I'm going to meal prep which will probably save me like 14 hours a week. Another example is that I'm looking at ways of reducing my commutes as well.

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Yes, I think scapegoats may also be a problem that I hadn't considered. I haven't even been at it for that long and, as you say, I am already blaming others things/looking for other ways to get success. When the success is just grinding it out. I have been taking advice from other people...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I see! I have learnt the more you do something the better at it you get at it. I assume this is the same with working on business ventures. The more you do it, the less time you need to do the same amount of work. Everything I currently do, apart from university, does line up with my 3 main...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    The question was how can I find more time to work on business with my current schedule? And I was also interested in guidance on how to make sacrifices to do that. Although this has been answered differently than I expected and my problem has been solved! I was originally trying to maximise...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    It seems that other's also have the same opinion about reducing time in university, it isn't the answer. I had a walk to mull over what every one was saying and have made the decision to continue university by allocating enough time to it so that I can be successful with it. I will still look...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Haha, thanks a lot! It's an honour to be of inspiration :) I see what you mean about time management. I have been unknowingly developing that skill since around 15-16 during exams. I also agree about training, for me it's what keeps my sanity. I should clarify in the post, I do get 8-9 hours...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    1st of all: 16 years.. that AMAZING! About the sleep: I spent 9-10 hours in bed, 8-9 hours a sleep on average. I believe that sleep is extremely valuable, more than anything else. That's because it improves all other functions which saves time by itself. That's true. Which is why I am...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I see! Well if I do start seeing traction (sales) then I would feel happier to reduce the amount of time I spent with university. It's just that initial push that I am struggling with. Thanks for your valuable answers btw <3

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Ok, well maybe I am pressuring myself too much into making a business. As you say, let the ideas come to me rather than me trying to find ideas. However, creating freedom is one of my 3 main goals in life. And a great way I found to get freedom is to get money. And a great way to get money is...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I have considered this. But as I see it, I have a lot more free time now compared to the free time I will have while working a full time job. I want to take advantage of that and get a business off the ground before I leave university. There is also the point raised in MJ's books, that if you...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I attend it to develop more of a mental state than a physical state. Sure, there are health benefits, but I am there to train my discipline and to develop a valuable skill. I believe that being punched in the face every now and then maintains a strong mindset. Ah yes, I meant financially...

    Could someone kick my a$$ and make me work on my business?

    MINDSET 
    It's difficult to understand unless you have actually gone through it. It's quite hard to explain. It basically feels like an endless holiday where you don't feel obligated to do anything. You're in a headspace where the future doesn't matter because you feel assured that you will be safe...

    Making sacrifice: how the hell do I do that?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I'm in a bit of a pickle. A time pickle. I am in my second year at university, 12 hours of lectures per week, plenty more take home work, spending time with friends, commuting, going to the gym, and more. HOW DO I FIT IT ALL IN WHILE DEVELOPING A BUSINESS?! As I understand it, if you want...

    Could someone kick my a$$ and make me work on my business?

    MINDSET 
    I know exactly how you feel. I had to move away from home before my mindset started to change. But I don't think you need to move away to develop a mindset. You don't need motivation, you need discipline. In order to have discipline (to do stuff), you must have clear goals that you actually...

    Anxiety about "success"

    MINDSET RANT 
    You've got the drive but are putting pressure on yourself for no benefit. It's good to put pressure on yourself as it makes you reach your goals at the time you said you would reach them. But when it starts to give you anxiety you are doing something wrong. I suggest improving your mental...
