    Killing Obesity!!! (A plan)

    HOT! 
    It's funny because it really should be basic common sense. I mean, the ancients new this shit thousands of years ago, even though nutrition as a field and industry is relatively new. It's amazing how much ignorance there still is in the world.

    Killing Obesity!!! (A plan)

    HOT! 
    Just to fix your statements here so no one gets confused. Higher insulin resistance is what leads to diabetes, not less. You probably meant less insulin sensitivity. As a budding strength coach and nutritionist, I preach the same message. Although, demonizing sugar isn't the answer, in my...

    Anyone with experience in fitness e-books/freelance?

    PUBLISHING 
    While this is true, I don't think it really applies to what OP is going for. Arnold's whole life was bodybuilding, versus OP who is choosing the fitness niche "simply because I´ve been training for a while now and I´ve got some knowledge about it that can be put to use". It doesn't seem like...

    Creativity and Entrepreneurship

    Based on my observation I think a few people on here should take this advice. If it's not constructive then there is no reason to post.

    What am I doing wrong?

    EXECUTION 
    I can say I fall into the category of loving video games and fitness. PM a link to your FB page?

    I know I'm late, but I would have asked how he perservered in a field he had no interest in for 10 years. He must have the patience and discipline of a saint.

    Thanks bro. I came up with a response and scrapped it. Three times. The only thing I can say is you are right, and I will reflect on this. Oh, and also, Mark Sisson is the man.

    What issues do you face with your WordPress?

    Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I don't see why the two are not synergetic. Your businesses' market is your clients, both current and potential. He's asking questions to both gather data and acquire clients.

    So trying to gather market data on potential customers is cheap self-promotion now?

    Blogging for Profit (With Legendary GOLD Follow Up Posts)

    This is what bothers me when I consider my blog's future. It's definitely the nth iteration of some guy talking about eating right. BUT... I started working out in my garage when I was 14, chugging 48 oz gainer smoothies as mid-day snacks. When I was 18 I got access to my first gym (at...

    It's the static mindset versus the growth mindset, illustrated below. It's incredibly frustrating dealing with static thinking people. Just don't do it.

    Valuating Websites For Sale

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I bought a website on Flippa as well. While I wouldn't say I've been burned, I definitely way overpayed for what I got. I did some due diligence, but not enough. To be honest, it was an impulse buy. After buying and tracking the analytics, the traffic definitely seems fishy. The content on the...

    Social Media(The thin line between productive and counterproductive)

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING MINDSET 
    I honestly don't know how people have a problem with this. I've disliked social media from day 1 and really only used it in college. Fastfoward 3+ years and now I am trying to LEARN how to use social media. That's right, I don't even really know how to use it (effectively). It seems to be...

    Consuming the info in this thread has gotten me excited since I bought a blog on Flippa a couple months ago, but damn my pessimism just won't allow me to think I could possibly reach the height of success the top bloggers are at. It's a health nutrition/recipe blog, which are a dime dozen, but...

    Life & Work Feels like Wearing a Lead Jacket

    MINDSET RANT 
    You sounds just like me, and I'm sure like MANY others. I just don't care about the job anymore and it would take A LOT more money to make me care (which of course I won't get). Work + Overtime + Girlfriend + Familial Duties + Responsibilities usually leads to small amounts of free time, and you...

    Raising Capital for an Expensive New Venture

    It's a very ambitious project. We were quoted an average of $80k for building the application with front end/back end + $10k for maintenance/software updates. I threw in the extra $10k for contingency. It's possible to drop features even further to create something very bare bones, but I don't...

    We did not know it. They were kind of "testing the waters" so to speak, so they had just started doing it. No withholding of information.

    Raising Capital for an Expensive New Venture

    Hey all, I have a question for you successful entrepreneurs: When starting a new business venture that requires a lot of capital to get started, how do you raise that money? Do you invest in it yourself? Crowdfund? Backstory: me and 2 of my cousins had an idea for a service that would be sold...
