    If you can't afford Tony Robbins..

    GURUS 
    He recently had a 3 day event and the replay videos are available for the next few days: [link expired] Click the days at the top to alternate between them. Hope it helps some of you in terms of mindset and goals. Some of it is kinda hocus pocus-y, but if you can get past that it's a great...

    Another Cautionary Tale of Control

    IDEA 
    As we've seen many times before, Control is essential to launch + sustain a business. I had a relative recently launch an independent insurance agency after many months of setbacks and expenses. They failed and retook the insurance exam multiple times until they passed, went through...

    Don't Forget About The Public Domain

    IDEA 
    With the recent hype about Mickey Mouse entering the public domain, people have already started to build: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZAVznVPMh8 Another source of inspiration for those of you who struggle to generate ideas.

    I'm surprised people say they have a hard time generating ideas...

    IDEA 
    I see them everywhere. They're all around you. For example, here's one you may have already encountered, but overlooked: Train your mind to see everyday problems in your life as potential ideas.

    Click fraud: don't let your ad dollars go to waste

    MARKETING 
    We've been running click fraud prevention for our Google Ads for over a year now, so I thought I would share our results: It's pretty clear the investment is well worth it if you are spending a significant amount in advertising. For the $700 we've paid in software fees so far, we've...

    Control is King (again)

    RANT 
    Yesterday it was Twitter, today it's Reddit. A third-party app making $$$ is shutting down due to an increase in the API cost: Remember to diversify & stay in control :fist:

    Take every "sales" call

    RANT 
    Been thinking about this for a while now and it can be a controversial take, but I'm now of the opinion that you should take every sales call that comes your way. Why? Here's a few reasons: 1) Opportunity to learn a new sales tactic I was recently impressed by a certain phrase a salesperson...

    Nobody is Stealing Your Idea

    IDEA 
    I see this common fear and subsequent thread popping up every so often, so I just have a few thoughts that may help with developing an abundance/carefree mindset: 1. Your idea isn’t unique There is nothing new under the sun. Your “one-of-a-kind” and “world changing” idea is anything but. Many...

    Control > ENTS

    RANT 
    a Twitter tool making $1M+ ARR was recently shut off overnight by their API overlord: Access has since been restored, but this serves as yet another reminder to never have your business lie solely in the hands of any: - API - License agreement - Affiliate merchant - eCommerce platform/vendor...

    If you're going to take a break on Netflix..

    MINDSET 
    You should at least make it educational/inspiring. The Playlist (Watch The Playlist | Netflix Official Site) is a mini series which covers how Spotify got started and how it got to where it is today. While some of it is sensationalized, it does an amazing job in depicting the kind of...

    10 years

    IDEA 
    I keep seeing this number being thrown around in the startup world and in entrepreneurship in general. I recently read an article by James Clear where he talked about the most successful composers, and how they had to go through the "10 years of silence". Then we see how tech companies only...

    Any real-life examples of temporary sacrifice?

    MINDSET 
    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsWlktW0kj4 Love this scene but I was wondering if it happened to any successful entrepreneur where they put off something, until they became successful? I know how Sylvester Stallone would blackout his windows so he could finish writing his scripts, but...

    Reaching $500K building a Google Analytics alternative

    NOTABLE! WEB/DIGITAL 
    Not a fan of creating threads only to post a link, but this was another gem I thought would be beneficial to most here. Hopefully this story can motivate you to stay focused and resilient on your goals. Going against the grain and charging for something that most of the digital world wouldn't...

    0 to 10M Users: The Story of Jotform (Value Bomb!)

    NOTABLE! 
    If you have the time, I recommend reading the story of Jotform in the founder's 20-part series here: From 0 to 10M Users with $0 Funding Inspiring to say the least, as well as a good reminder on what should be prioritized and what is irrelevant. Many gems being dropped. FYI if you liked this...

    Self Publishing: Resources, Ideas, Feedback

    IDEA 
    I've been thinking about this for a while since my last book was self published and admittedly did not do as well as I had expected. As a newbie author, I thought all I had to do was slap a cover on my document and upload it to Amazon. I know better now, but still in the dark with the whole...

    Some People Just Don't Get It

    MINDSET RANT 
    Hard work ≠ money, VALUE does. View: https://youtu.be/bTXPXy-9uJE Not only does this old man not understand value output, he wants to punish those who bring the greatest amount of it into the world. Pathetic. </rant>

    One Way to Build a Software Product Quickly

    A lot of questions tend to pop up here about business ideas as well as how to build MVPs - most of the time just being a front for action faking. This video is not by any means perfect, but a great way to see how one company built something relatively quickly without stalling on the smaller...

    Why the ROI of Business > REI/Stocks/Crypto

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I'm all for passive investment, but even with "decent" returns, there's nothing quite like the feeling of capitalizing on an opportunity and seeing a result from your own foresight and hard work. A few months ago, I was able to purchase an expired domain for a few thousand dollars. I threw up...
