    Personal challenge - no porn, no coffee, more discipline!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've started replacing coffee with juicing spinach/kale in the mornings. I feel like I get a burst of energy that lasts and allows me to work. It could be very well a placebo but I do feel better in the evenings instead of having several cups of coffee during the day and crashing later.

    New Year's Goals are Stupid

    MINDSET RANT 
    I understand the sentiment but it's a little cynical. I get the whole "why not just start today" thing, but allowing yourself to have a clean slate every year is really helpful and motivational. The psychology works, most people start the thing they promised themselves they would do, but...

    How to know if a supplier is legit?

    You could always place a test order, ask for a sample, or place a very small order if the minimum is low enough. Ultimately, sometimes you just need to go with your gut. It's very rare manufacturers will give references or case studies anymore, it's still worth asking, but sometimes you just...

    Must See Movies, Recommendations?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They Shall Not Grow Old was an interesting documentary that used advanced film restoration technology to colorize and restore old/lost WW1 footage. I saw it in theaters this year, probably one of the few films I actually went out to see these past few years.

    Billionaire Ray Dalio: Meditation is ‘the single most important reason' for my success

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I think guided meditation apps are very useful and a great way to maintain a regular practice regardless of if you're new or experienced. I've been practicing meditation for over 14 years, studying and practicing Vipassanā and mindfulness. Even with this experience, I still use guided...

    I really like Naval's thinking around meaning of life, and I've applied it to my own life:

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    That's why I love reading and books. Many of the books mentioned here by other people, I feel the same way. One particular example is Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It gets a lot of hate here. That book changed my life in college, and made me realize that while my father was a business owner, he was...

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    From the top of my head: popular books that I found to be very overrated, long-winded, idealistic, rehashed ideas, not very actionable/practical The Lean Startup Creativity, Inc. Think and Grow Rich

    LANDFILL 
    It's disappointing to me that there's people who are dismissive of this as a problem. These things can be very addicting, that's why there's entire support groups to help young men get away from porn and masturbation. I would also check Reddit's /r/nofap it's one of the few actually productive...

    Does anyone else dislike the "Startup" community?

    RANT 
    It just seems very vain lately. There are a lot of people that invent or create solutions to problems that never really existed and that people don't really need. It's also usually done in the hopes of getting acquired. So the business model doesn't even need to work or turn a profit to be...

    How to stop wasting time (no rah rah bs. Practical advice from a psychologist)

    MINDSET 
    Jordan Peterson does an amazing job in this short clip explaining why people waste time and what to do about it. Many of you who read Unscripted will likely be familiar with the importance of valuing time, but Dr. Peterson does a magnificant job explaining it.

    What are your thoughts on "Privilege"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    To play devil's advocate a bit.... I love the idea of privilege and that I have it. People with political agendas try to use it to guilt people, but I use my privilege to remind myself that I need to work hard and that I owe it to myself and my parents to be successful. My parents immigrated...

    HOT! 
    You really haven't given us enough information. What kind of business have you started? How will this program help with that? What are you expecting to learn? What are you looking to learn? A polished and well-marketed $997 "course" might not be what you need. You seek the seductive and...

    The man gets its scripted claws on the kids early now

    You joke but these already exist: mobile games and pc/console video games with microtransactions built in them (with what look like slot machines), and people gambling on the fake items they earn:

    MARKETING 
    Whether it's Shopify or any kind of website, your best bet is to put together a content marketing strategy. If you want to rank your product pages organically, good luck. You're better off creating content around long tail keywords that share the audience of your products. Tortuga backpacks is a...

    FB PPE Ads - All likes.. no conversions

    MARKETING 
    Sounds like the ad did its job to me. You paid for engagement, Facebook got you engagement. I'm a big believer in the effectiveness of Facebook's ad algorithm. Once you have a warm Purchase conversion pixel and an optimized Ad Set, the world is yours.
