    Confusing correlation with causation

    No they don't - that's exactly what I'm communicating here. I know people who didn't do any of these things and are crushing it. YES networking might HELP, and if it's a pitch for a client or an investor or something it WILL contribute DIRECTLY to success, but all other things don't. There are...

    Confusing correlation with causation

    I'm seeing it all the time and I used to be one of these fools so here we go. It seems that 95% of the people (including on this forum) skipped out a couple of classes during high school where they explained the differences between correlation and causation. But it's really freakin important to...

    19 Years Old and wanting out of the rat race.

    INTRO 
    Let's be real if you are 19 you haven't even entered the race. Good luck you will probably fail a couple of times before finding success. I have never met a 19 year old who had the communicative skills to pull off major success. I'm sure there are exceptions and at least you are aware of the...

    If you had 1 million dollars, how would you invest it?

    INVESTING HOT! 
    I agree but still, unless he lives in one of the premier metropolitan areas and has his kids going to private school and a wife with a particularly expensive taste in designer handbags is still a lot of money as a back up. Could give numerous examples of people who had families to support with...

    INVESTING HOT! 
    lol is this a joke? this guy doesn't dare to make the proverbial jump with $1m and with probably an excellent background to always go back to a six figure job? people like this are not entrepreneurs nor will they ever be. Ive know people, including myself, who started out on a $5k creditcard...

    If you had 1 million dollars, how would you invest it?

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Assuming it's capital free to invest and I already have a business generating profits that I can reinvest in the business itself: 50% index funds 10% cryptocurrencies 15% precious metals (gold) 25% real estate

    Great post thanks for taking the time to write this up.

    Who here has worked in a (strategy) consulting firm? How do they get their clients?

    Hey thanks for the reply. I made a thorough list of companies and am in talks with a couple. The problem is the vast majority of them are essentially a dinosaur and have built up their name and clientele a decade ago or longer than that.

    Who here has worked in a (strategy) consulting firm? How do they get their clients?

    It amazes me more each and every day how many consulting firms there are - and absolutely killing it. The whole irony is that many recruit people fresh out of college, with no experience, pay them decently, and then 3x their hourly rate to advise major corporations. All in all, I find the...

    Creating an amazing platform! But how?

    Would learn how to code. But to keep it simple I would: 1. Learn how to code to develop a minimal lovable product. 2. Have a designer beautiful visuals of the end product you have in mind. 3. Test-drive the MVP and find product market fit by iterations. 4. Raise a bit of capital to grow it.

    Skill that can make $2000 a month?

    HOT! 
    Good question. I still stick to my point I made there: $100k/€100k in the states/western europe is just F*cking nothing, period. The cost of living has increased so dramatically that you will never be able to buy your way out so to say. However, if you love what you do, it will change things...

    Spent years pursuing the wrong business/career. Am I making the same mistake again?

    I'm quite experienced in digital marketing and basic web development (know basic html, css, java) and thinking of learning how to really code. The way I see it, as an entrepreneur you need to be able to do two things: 1) sell and 2) build. Later you can outsource those things. If you want to...

    Skill that can make $2000 a month?

    HOT! 
    I would not consider it a success but that is a matter of definition. There are no techniques - do great work, build up a portfolio, share your knowledge and do cold acquisition if you have to. Life gives no shortcuts.

    Skill that can make $2000 a month?

    HOT! 
    I would recommend (basic) web design. I generally make anywhere between €2000 to €9000 per month doing this and have literally done so while traveling the world and living in different countries including the states, south africa, the philipines and spain.

    Should I be paying this much in taxes?!?

    RANT TAXES | REGS 
    With all respect but this seems quite low. Here you pay 51% of every 'dollar' you make.

    Quit now, get a job, and why bother. Everything is luck.

    MINDSET RANT 
    I think this is a pretty valid topic that you don't often hear and I can confirm to some extent that this notion is true. As is another MAJOR but hardly EVER discussed topic which is that many 'successful' people were born into privilege, took part of the family business or had significant...

    What Countries and Places Offer the Best Life Quality?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm from the Netherlands, born and raised. Have lived in numerous cities and have been living in Amsterdam for the last two years. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me. Ideally I would combine living in Amsterdam with a Mediterranean country. But that's based on my limited...

    What are your thoughts on hustles while you work on your business?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Many businesses take quite a while before they take off and generate solid income (in my own experience and countless others I've witnessed). And so, if you want to bootstrap it, you will have to find ways to generate income while you work on your business. This is exactly what I'm doing right...

    Instagram Management: Cold Call my way to 100 clients

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    This sounds awesome. I'll be following your journey. Just curious, how will you handle the fact that some businesses will be requiring product specific images (e.g. a furniture shop that sells special furniture of some sorts for example).
