    How do you inspire creativity?

    MINDSET 
    For the last year or so, I've been working, saving, and reading every chance I've gotten. Making what I thought were the right moves, I've bought and sold small things, sticking the profit directly into my savings account. I've been engaging my city a bit more and looking for ways to improve a...

    Today I bought a week of work

    Captain Jack, I'm going to read that book. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Today I bought a week of work

    I'm not sure if this is under the right forum, but yesterday afternoon I read the hustlers guide to buying and selling anything. This morning I took to craigslist and bought an Xbox One. Before I even had it in my possession, I had it sold for a $75 profit. My post about it on Facebook brought...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    I like to read this post once a day to fuel my motivation. The time being, I am nearly this guy. Struggling to get through school and working in a fast food restaurant, every time I take a break I think of this story. I think of how much I do not want to be this man, how I will not allow myself...

    Are you still dealing with immediate gratification?

    MINDSET 
    I've recently started working on a project that requires me to interview random people. The first week, I approached maybe 20 people, and none of them wanted to be interviewed. After another couple of days with no results, I got my first interview with a person. It lasted all of five minutes but...

    My first business mentor was Runescape

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I used to run an e-commerce business on Neopets, believe it or not. I would search the trading posts for rare eggs, buy them low, and sell them higher. I frequently wonder why I'm not doing that in real life.

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    EXECUTION GOLD! 
    No worries, I've thought of all of that. Settling for that slow lane job is absolutely the very last resort. Love me some Vanguard too

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    EXECUTION GOLD! 
    I was performance, too. Sometimes I feel like I won't mind having a slowlane job if it means getting to also play in a band and still be able to somewhat support myself. I know that's counterproductive to everything this forum is about, but I do love my music.

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    EXECUTION GOLD! 
    The longer I stay in college, the less I see any benefit to it. I've gained a great skill in music that I love sharpening, I made some amazing friends that are close to family, but I've learned nothing that can be valuable to others. It's more than likely the path I've taken. I'm just now taking...

    Dump That Excuse Here ... Excusipedia

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My only real skills are music and imagination, I don't have much spare time, none of the ideas I have feel like they'll do much in the way of helping people.... I'm full of them!

    Does It Hurt Bad Enough?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I've been doing some hard thinking lately. I can remember a few months ago, nearly half a year if not exactly, thinking that maybe I could achieve something without changing my friends. I love my current friends to death but none of them have any aspirations to be anything better than what they...

    Happy New Years, guys!

    MINDSET 
    2015 taught me a lot about myself. What my true goals in life are, who I'm not, where my interests lie, and what I need to change about myself. I discovered these forums and have learned about some great people and their choices. I've interacted with some great people here. Happy New Years to...

    What is your dream? (and your 2016 goals!)

    MINDSET 
    My dream: To have a house in my current area and in Galena, IL. Neither areas are expensive to live in, and I don't have any desire for a huge house. To have a successful career in music and own every instrument I know how to play. To provide a service that improves the lives of people I will...

    This is unarguably the best review of the movie yet.

    A view worth checking out

    PEOPLE 
    I just got back from a trip to Gatlinburg, TN. It was gorgeous driving through the smoky mountains. Those of you with lamborghinis or other sports cars, I would love to suggest to you guys to take a drive through them. Even if you don't own a fancy car, the scenery is beautiful. Even the towns...

    Reinventing myself

    MINDSET 
    I don't mind cleaning windows :) my dog lays by my door and presses his nose to the glass and smudges it up and I enjoy cleaning those up. I expect some people will be specific about it, in that case I'll just have to do my best to please them. I do like helping people, and loads of people...

    Lex DeVille's - Raw Review Corner

    GOLD! 
    My post inspired you to do this? That's pretty cool :) Especially when so many more people are going to benefit from it. Window cleaning isn't the ideal business to start but I plan on growing it beyond that. Window cleaning will just be my entry into that world. I'll be hitting town the rest of...

    Reinventing myself

    MINDSET 
    There are so many business ventures I want to go through with. The problem with some of them is that I need a good bit of money to start them. This window washing idea will require little start up money and can potentially open the door to those other ventures by providing me with a decent way...

    Reinventing myself

    MINDSET 
    Interestingly enough, I believe I've found my first stepping stone. I've been doing research all day on professional window cleaning. There are maybe five window cleaning services in my city, and I've never heard of any of them. My friends haven't heard of them. A small business owner I know...

    The constant battle with myself.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You didn't choose this road because you're easily defeated. You chose this road because you're willing to fight to overcome all odds. I guarantee you can rise above this. I believe in you. I believe in everyone here. Keep your head up!
