    Dopamine. The missing piece of the success puzzle. (Improve Locus of Control, Motivation, Self-control)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This is some great stuff, and I'm just about ready to start extracting dopamine from the brains of passers-by! I have more questions but I will hold until the end of the "to be continueds".

    Dopamine. The missing piece of the success puzzle. (Improve Locus of Control, Motivation, Self-control)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This is great stuff, please keep going! And if your magic brain chemicals could effect my Conscientiousness I would indeed consider giving you money dollars.

    The Secret/Law Of Attraction. Anyone believe in it?

    RANT 
    If you're looking for a good, accessible read on how human behavior and the brain work with this sort of thing, read Stumbling On Happiness by Daniel Gilbert. Its an easy read, and will teach you a lot about your own brain's operating system. With techniques like the Secret, you are changing...

    Sales for the introverted

    This. I wasn't able to sell squat until I did some part-time after work phone sales for a couple of months. Yes, it feels like sticking your face into a grinding wheel, but only for the first few hours. After that, you learn the rhythms. Eventually, you make a few sales and become neutral, and...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted! Best parts (to me anyway) were the sections on believes, biases, and bullshit, the parts on problem identification, and the suggestions on what to do when waiting for an idea. I also loved how the book showcased the forum and community! I have put up a review on Kobo...

    Lambo pulls up buys civic type r

    You never know what job will be the most fun until you actually do it. Most fun job I've ever had? Tech-support on a small College campus. It wasn’t a call-centre IT job. We had a booth at end of the school, and spent the rest of our time running over to offices and fixing problems. We also had...

    Where are all the Mobile Home Park Investors?

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Than you for sharing! This is some amazing stuff. I've always been intrigued by non-sexy, practical businesses. Everyone wants to write an app, or get into Etherium, or write a book that finances world travel, but I love reading about business adventures in areas like mobile home investing...

    Leaving the Sidewalk

    EXECUTION 
    I haven’t been here in a while. But I haven’t had lost sight of my goals, either. Though they do seem to be shifting from “How do I get F*ck you money” to “How do I manage to build a life that is actually in tune with my own values?” Other than knowing that should consist of some way of...

    Made 2 agreements today, neither person made eye contact

    PEOPLE 
    Maybe you were aggressive, and they felt they were dominated into the sale rather than choosing it themselves? Also, it could have just been a coincidence that you got two people in a row who were averse to eye contact. It's good that you caught it, but I don't think you need to adjust your...

    Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less

    GOLD! 
    ... but only 2,500 for academic writing and research. I imagine that if you have the chops for it, you could sweep that category by applying the principles learned here to your work application.

    Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less

    GOLD! 
    Thank you for your help! I'm going to keep this in mind as I work through Day 5, and look at how my headlines could be improved. I think reading them aloud will let me make better edits.

    Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less

    GOLD! 
    I’m on Day Four, so I’m supposed to take action. One way I am going to take action today is to create an Upworks profile and see if there are any jobs I can apply to there. I’ve already checked out craigslist and will apply to one or two gigs there as well, but they seem to be focused more on...

    How Much Money Is Enough For You?

    $28,000 per month. That's my ultimate goal.

    How do I get a rapid $4000 loan?

    Hmmm.... You may be right. It's worth some thought. So let me give my plans some more thought. The copywriting venture is a way to earn extra cash that depends on my skills and time, and requires only sweat equity. Its primary purpose is to build income that I can use to actually make smart...

    How do I get a rapid $4000 loan?

    My current (original) plan is to learn copywriting, then use that to build money for an ecommerce venture while continuing to live and pay down debt using the income from my actual job. I've been through the Boron Letters (printed out and hand copied, with my own notes), and have just finished...

    How do I get a rapid $4000 loan?

    Went away and thought about it. You guys are right, and it was a dumb idea. Sometimes I still slip backwards into old modes of thinking. I was feeling so desperate for escape today that I slipped into unproductive panic. Thanks for not pulling your punches. You guys really are the best. Going...

    How do I get a rapid $4000 loan?

    DEFINITELY not.

    How do I get a rapid $4000 loan?

    It makes me cringe as well. Deeply uncomfortable feeling to borrow that much. But if I lose... what have I lost? I'm never going to be able to afford anything anyway without massive debt, so might as well go for broke. The other option of zen-like austerity has occurred to me, but that brings...
