    So You’re an Elite Performer? Maybe, And Maybe Not.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Personally I've met only one person 'wired differently' to the point their intellect seemed superhuman to me. Not an athlete or musician, where you realize they have put in decades of training. It was a young academic and child prodigy with photographic memory or some type of extreme...

    How I make to-do lists

    IDEA 
    Paul Akers on YouTube is great. Simple LEAN thinking with major impact over time. And it works in any business, not just manufacturing like Fastcap. 'Fix what bugs you.'

    Seeking Honest Feedback: Transitioning from Real Estate to a New Business

    INTRO 
    Compare both options using the CENTS framework. Compare the business models, margins, overhead, competition, reliance on employees, % of revenue that is recurring etc. Arrange a lunch or meeting with someone 10-20 years older than you, in both industries. Do you admire what they have...

    The Burden of Having to Make Shit Up

    SLOWLANE 
    7 days a week feels more natural, yes. Working 8 or 10 hours a day, Mon-Fri will yield similar results to working 3-4 hours daily including weekends (peak productive time). This means you save 12-22 hours of time per week. You now have the whole afternoon to exercise, eat healthy, learn new...

    Having trouble making my business name unique

    FEEDBACK 
    It does not need to begin with the word 'Data' or even contain this word. What matters is if people can understand (associate name with what the business does), spell and remember the name. Also good if you get the .com domain. For making it unique, you can add your own name (first or last...

    [NEED ADVICE] Project Qudial

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Decent idea. Don't like the branding. Don't get the name. Site feels impersonal. Like any other App, SaaS site. I will forget this site. It does not feel trustworthy. Nothing stands out. You use AI-generated images. I want to see an image of you, or some other real delivery driver. Show me a...

    Buy small or big oder bigger?

    IDEA 
    If you have around 30 employees currently and look to buy small companies 3-7% of your size, those are very small businesses. 1-4 man operations? It does seem like a waste of time, unless it's a strategy you plan to repeat many times (you have a system to integrate them effectively and keep the...

    Help needed in identifying a better approach or where I go wrong (IT skills)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Just telling you my reaction. My reaction now to your reply is: 1: You doubt yourself 2: You claim things are very difficult 3: You feel things, but don’t know or think enough This type of belief makes it harder to sell. You need full belief that your offer is fantastic. Some proof also.

    Help needed in identifying a better approach or where I go wrong (IT skills)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    My reaction to your cold email: 1. This is not specific enough: "providing key insights and tailored solutions." I want a full list, with details, to understand the options and possibilities at play. 2. How much money can you save me? How can this increase revenue? Any previous results to speak...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    I like this question. Some types of risks to take into account: 1. Risk of ruin (usually this refers to financial ruin, but this is not ultimate ruin in life. In the context of overall risk, it means death or other irreversible problems like a life in prison, becoming paralyzed etc. Note that...

    Introduction : Marketplace product launching soon ( advices for thirsty person)

    INTRO 
    Some issues I see: 1. A marketplace -> This type of business is hard to establish as you need buyers and sellers, benefit from size, network effect. 2. Gifts -> Gift-giving is often seasonal and not bought on a recurring basis every week/month. 3. Excellent that you conducted a survey, however...

    Need feedback from you! Something about AI-Assistant

    IDEA MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    That's great, but right now it seems like you approach the problem top-down. You see the tool (AI) and what it is capable of. It can do many things. But what can you do with the tool, that others can't or won't? I suggest pick a niche like "independent motorcycle repair shop" in X country. Then...

    Need feedback from you! Something about AI-Assistant

    IDEA MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    No, you should niche down. These problems are too general. Focus on a specific market/type of business owner.

    What do you think of my book collection to read this year

    BOOKS 
    What's the goal? Or are you reading for enjoyment only? How much time will you devote to this? Do you take notes? Instead of cover-to-cover reading, I suggest you use the books as a library. You start with a real life problem, like, "How can I design a sales funnel this week that accomplishes...

    Why does nothing work? Is it because of living in 3rd world country?

    QUESTION 
    Depends on what you will help them with. Join some platforms/communities about topics you are interested in (a profession, skill or hobby) -- facebook groups, forums, discord servers, subreddit, etc. Show what you know and be super-helpful. Don't spam. If someone asks a question, do research and...

    Why does nothing work? Is it because of living in 3rd world country?

    QUESTION 
    Sell to westerners online, by hook or by crook, and make some USD. Forget about the local market and local currency, learn what western consumers like. Come up with a freelance offer or promote some type of affiliate offer. Stop consuming and start producing until something works. Contact people...

    heavy_industry Q3 health improvement

    HEALTH 
    No doubt. It does require you to get uncomfortable. One thing I did when quitting was to write down every time I felt a serious craving / withdrawal. Such an episode lasts just a few minutes and really is the only risk of succumbing and failing. I only experienced 13 such times. That's right...

    heavy_industry Q3 health improvement

    HEALTH 
    I quit nicotine (smokeless tobacco) cold turkey last year. Wasn't a great time but it was an interesting experience. My perspective on the long-term health effects of nicotine, which I noticed mostly after quitting: Vasoconstriction - > Your circulation becomes worse. Over time, there are...

    INTRODUCTION: Starting first Business At 17, Aiming for 1000 visitors and first sale.

    INTRO 
    The reason people purchase books is with the IDEA that they will read them and absorb/enjoy the content. It also looks good in a bookshelf. They can also be gifted or collected. 40% of books sold are NEVER even opened. If I need a book summary, what prevents me from finding it online, for free...
