    Attended a past Summit? Did you know this?

    I'm missing the badge. Attended last year. Thanks!

    Intro, AMA, and a Recent Sale for $6M of InvestorJunkie.com

    GOLD! 
    This is an important quote for all those people who get "impostor syndrome". You weren't a hedge fund manager or VP of a global bank, but rather it would appear you were great at connecting with people and had real-world personal investment experience. I only say this because it took me about...

    Am I too old for the Fastlane?

    INTRO 
    I'm on my personal phone at least a few times a day for random stuff - call from the wife, scheduling cable/doctor/etc., making a quick purchase. Unless you're worried about an avalanche of business, then you can probably sneak away for a call, no? Just make sure you work the same net hours...

    This is what 60 Pounds (27 KGS) Looks Like

    GOLD! 
    That makes two of us. And funny thing is, I recall the food choices being very healthy at the 2018 meet-up. It was the things outside the meet-up that would get you. Vig - I pulled you aside just after you arrived at Talking Stick and mentioned that first-time attendees had just as much...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    On track for one book a month in 2018. Not much for some, but epic for someone with kids. About to finish 'The Hundred-Year Marathon' (Michael Pillsbury) which is good because 'Relentless' by Tim Grover just arrived.

    Is Passive Income real?

    DRIVE-BY 
    I think "automatic" should replace "passive" in this particular case. It's not that there's no work involved, but rather much of it has been automated/outsourced/etc. so that the time investment for the owner remains minimal. "Passive" is easier to market, in my opinion. Maybe semantics...

    Yoast SEO - Any Users?

    I've just installed Yoast SEO and I'm not sure how helpful I find it. It seems a bit like a game (I can't win) trying to get my post to perfectly match-up with the stop-light chart. A lot of the pointers are very helpful, but others seem to cram the post with keywords and choppy sentences...

    The Desert of Desertion is real... and I'm in it.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Honestly, it's embarrassing. For example, I'd include pictures on my website and it took me forever to figure-out how to modify them. As in, the pixel size. I couldn't understand why some were larger than others. And I still can't figure-out why my text is so condensed in mobile... I also...

    The Desert of Desertion is real... and I'm in it.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Well, I'm finally in it. The middle of the damn desert of desertion. Funny thing is, I'm only here because I took the action to move-out on my dreams. I PUT myself here. I'm just heads down doing work. There's nothing to talk about. No one to show anything too. I have a lot of questions...

    EXECUTION 
    Another 5 lbs gone. Had some blood work done too - all good. Don't want to spam everyone, but it's honestly amazing how simple (not easy) it is to lose weight. I know EXACTLY what's going to happen on the scale the day after I eat clean or like sh*t. It's not a mystery. Also, this 5 lbs...

    Cloudflare for a new online business?

    Does anyone here use Cloudflare, or a similar service, to protect against malicious activity? They have a "free plan" which must be available because of their significant size and hope for users to upgrade. Did you notice improved load times? Fewer access attempts? Did they help you during...

    Proofreading/Editing - Outsource? Software?

    I've expressed a similar peeve in other posts, although mostly around punctuation. I did find an editor, through a friendly forum member, and am looking forward to working with them. I find that reading my work aloud is a big help, but it can only do so much when you're on your 12th time...

    Manufacturing a FTE (F*ck This Event!)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET FTE 
    This has always been toughest for me, and I had an eye-opening moment a few weeks ago. A couple of guys were on my (airplane) shuttle home. They looked like the salesmen for Glenngarry Glen Ross. Disheveled. Tired. Ties lose. Wrinkled dress shirts - the whole deal. Sipping a cocktail...

    I felt guilty "liking" your post! Great to see you back. And it's during tough times that the weight can really pile on with a busy schedule and stress. Don't forget to take care of yourself.

    Proofreading/Editing - Outsource? Software?

    Thank you all so much. I'm early in the process but do have some "core" posts that are 4,000 words or longer, so I think I'll split the difference and try Grammarly for shorter posts, but look for a good proofreader for the longer stuff and see how it goes over time.
