    Honesty - how to handle dishonest employee

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Do you worry about minutes? Do you want your employees worried about losing minutes? How much time will be wasted helping a new employee acquire the skills / knowledge that comes from 8 years of experience? Seems a bit ridiculous to me, same for the fact that most people are recommending...

    How much $$$ would you need to significantly change your lifestyle?

    My number is 1M Euro. I live in my family's flat, old, cozy and full of good memories. I have a squat rack where I can do all the workouts I need and a rowing machine. I meditate often and have beautiful conversations with my wife, I cook most days, and when I go out for dinner it's nothing...

    All Meetings Are A Vain Waste Of Time - No Exceptions!

    RANT 
    Face to face meetings can be really way more efficient and faster than phone conversations or email, especially when several people are involved. The problem is when meetings are organized just because, on a weekly basis, everyone is trying to show off in front of the bosses, using jargon that...

    If you could only pass on one life lesson to everyone on this forum, what would it be?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Everything can be learnt.

    [PROGRESS] Bekit's Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    It has been incredibly entertaining to read your post. Not because of the context, but because of the writing style. Go for it, you might be able to write your way out of the slow lane. Baby step by baby step is good. Even the biggest houses are built brick by brick. Take care of your health...

    What are YOU afraid of?

    MINDSET 
    Right now, I'm scared that I'm going to be stuck in a possition like the one I'm right now. I work in a small team, and although the salary is not bad, I have to work regularly with the most ignorant and professional two guys ever. Of course, they get paid more than what I do, and I have to take...

    What's the more pathetic career and why?

    Aren't all life coaches amateurs at some point? (like with every other skill / job, I mean, how do you become a pro without being an amateur first!)

    Does anyone know their IQ?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I wouldn't even entertain the idea of IQ, as it might create false assumptions for your life and waste time / effort. I'm too smart, I'm going to succeed / I'm not smart enough, I'm never going to suceed. How is this helpful? Success will be determined by hard work and adaptation mostly. IQ...

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    I can imagine it must be very frustrating trying to accomplish the huge mission of colonizing Mars and having to deal with mundane things like journalists tweets, and it's probably hard to feel his world from the outside.

    Leangains and Kinobody: A case study of two fitness gurus

    NOTABLE! 
    I discovered Leangains around 2011, and it has been a huge influence in my life. I really admire Martin, and his material is fantastic. That being said, the other guy took working and solid principles and executed on them. Basically, he won. Reminds me a bit to the Facebook story. Zuckerberg...

    Trying to loose weight (not succeeding )

    HEALTH 
    When I was 16, I was 100 kg. I dropped 30 kg in 6 months on a low fat diet. It was effective, yes, but less than ideal. Nowadays, I recommend the paleo / primal approach (high fat, medium protein, low carb). Open your mind and read The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson. This book will change...

    Can't keep my sleep regulated

    HEALTH 
    I'd recommend reading Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson, a short but very educating read about the topic of sleep, and why it's way more important than we initially believe. - Adapt your rhythm to natural sunlight cycles (I wake up at 5am and go to bed around 22:00) - No blue light for at least...

    Be healthy with very cheap food. Is that possible?

    HEALTH 
    Eggs, chicken (the real thing, cooked in a healthy way, not that nugget crap), vegetables (prices may vary depending on your area, although broccoli is a must in my opinion), protein shakes with milk if you don't have intolerance and don't have anything against them (same for cheese). This alone...

    Does A Strong Accent Lower Views on Youtube

    This is great advice in my opinion. Schwarzenegger tells his story on his biography, and how everyone in the film industry told him he would never succeed in movies with such a strong accent... (let alone as a political leader!!). OWN IT! The region where I come from, I have a very strong...

    I saw something interesting today at work

    MINDSET 
    I believe most of us are wired to think in terms of money, instead of terms of time. Before buying anything, I think about if I really need it, if it's going to help me buy my freedom and how much time do I have to sacrifice... After a short while you start realizing that some fancy clothes...

    Terrified of cold calling!!!

    EXECUTION 
    I'm by no means an expert, but recently I've had to start cold calling and The Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort gives you a really solid foundation (the audiobook). As I said, I'm not very wise on the topic, but this helped me really fast to get an idea and a structure to work with, instead of...

    Which phones do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 that cost me 130€. I was going to get another one after I dropped it and the screen got scratched, but I don't even see the fractures anymore. The battery lasts for days... More than enough for me, the next one will have a bigger screen though (this one is 5").

    Pickup brought me here

    INTRO 
    Yeah, just sit down on the couch, not learning/improving anything. If you send enough cvs you will end up as CEO of a Fortune 500. RSD offers a lot of free content that can help you improve your pickup skills. Because pickup is that, a skill that can be learned, like anything else. It's like...

    Fell into the Video Game Trap

    HOT! 
    I think Starcraft 2 represents the perfect video game. If you want to be a bit competitive, it's really exhausting, and if you get a bit into the game and understand the mechanics, strategies... that thing has to develop your mind in beautiful ways, it's like Chess x1000. And anyway, after a few...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    I believe everything is fine as long you understand the risk when you make the investment. You cannot expect to triple your money down in a week without any risk. In any case, I assumed that money as lost the day I bought crypto (I bought a bit more today, guess I'm a hopeless optimistic). If it...
