    investing in the stock market does not seem right

    INVESTING 
    So after building a business that makes 50k in gross revenue on average a month (last month 10-20k more), I decided to put around 100k in the stock market. Almost a month later, after realizing how slow this money will grow, I cannot but feel this whole thing is a "scam". Or said better, my...

    At what point should you park (invest) your fastlane earnings?

    INVESTING 
    So I recently watched this video by MJ View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgtZfYby6EY&ab_channel=MJDeMarco , and it made a lot of sense to me. I have around 90k euros which I took out in dividends from my fastlane venture just recently and was about to invest them in the S&P 500 (and maybe...

    Finally Making It...After 5 Years

    EXECUTION 
    First off, I don't know if I should be making this post. I'm not in a position of great wealth yet but I finally started seeing positive results after about 5 years of struggles and failures. In the past 5 years, I tried the following: - Creating a blog and monetizing it (1 year of work) -...

    Do You Ever Reward Yourself With Consumption?

    MINDSET 
    I noticed I've been delaying consumption for a couple of years now. I use a Chinese 100$ phone, wear clothes I bought 6 years ago, have no car, and generally speaking I don't consume shit. I don't have social media/Netflix either because that's an even worse kind of consumption. You consume...

    Front-end Developer: Moving from 9-5 to Freelancing?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I've been working 9-5 as a front-end dev for 2 months but I'm already sick of it. I think what I'm sick of is the fact that my company doesn't allow for remote working more than 1-2 days a week, plus the commute/staying in a cubicle. My company is in the financial sector so anything you could...

    Best book on hiring people to boost your business' growth?

    I'm looking to hire some people to help me build my business. I'm a web developer but the platform I am building is, unfortunately, going to take a long time and I need some help. I was wondering if anyone knows a great book on hiring people. I'm not talking about just the act of hiring great...

    Living in a "shithole" and saving more money, or living in a decent place but saving less?

    I'm probably moving in a month from my parents' home and away from my country. I don't have any money left but I'm moving out because I got a job offer abroad. That said, I was wondering whether to save money on rent so I can launch my business in 3-4 months or rent a "decent" place that costs...

    Trademarking

    I've been building an online business for 3 months (no, it's not a blog/dropshipping website). I predict it will take me another 3-4 months to complete. I was wondering, should I register the trademark right away or wait for the first customers/users before? I've read it takes 12-18 months to...

    Is "playing to your strengths" myth or reality?

    MINDSET 
    While I was coding for my uni class test, I asked myself this simple question: "am I playing to my strengths?". I realized I'm the kind of dude who prefers learning 5 different things and getting good results instead of focusing on one single topic and getting excellent results. I noticed my uni...

    Are new TLD's really valuable or is it some coping strategy?

    INVESTING 
    There's some debate going online that the TLD's are not as important anymore. I honestly disagree with that since the .com was and will always be the TLD most valued by individuals and businesses probably because it's so deep in our neural pathways that any other TLD seems lame and with it comes...

    Is Reddit the next monopoly?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I started noticing Reddit is conquering the internet with subreddits in every possible niche. With their economies of scale, the marginal cost for them to create a subreddit in every niche is basically null (since it's an all in one social network). I wonder how that translates for normal...

    University has killed my vision

    Long story short, I started studying CS this year (after having dropped out from economics) and initially I was very excited. My vision was clear. However, 3-4 weeks ago the decline has begun. I started feeling less and less enthusiastic and realized that 85% of the things I was studying didn't...

    How is it like to be a computer scientist in the slowlane?

    SLOWLANE 
    I was wondering, how is it like to be a computer scientist in the slowlane? How do you get treated by your boss? Do you have enough free time (and cognitive energy) to build your fastlane project? One of the thing keeping me in my business/economics major (instead of switching to CS) is the...

    How do you get the most out of tutorials/Udemy courses?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I bought different courses on Udemy in the past on JavaScript and it always ended up bad. Bad in the sense that every course seems to be filling your head with lots of theory which is very hard to apply in a real life context and application. I'm currently following a Node.JS course and I'm...

    Best Way to Move from EU to US? Any Success Stories?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I've been thinking about this for months now and I'm really determined to make this happen. I currently live in Italy and I'd do anything to move in the USA. I've done some research and yep, it's not easy. But I honestly won't stop in front of the "entry barriers". I'm currently in University...

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Quick Story of Myself: So, I've been checking this forum for 2 years now. Since I've read MJ's books, I started to hate dropshipping and all those "get-rich-quick" schemes. I wanted to open this thread, because I'm planning to invest all my savings (€1000) on a single business. I'm 20 and...

    Do I Have a Chance? YouTube Niche struggle

    HOT! 
    So I started a YouTube channel in my native language on self-improvement a few months ago. I knew even before starting that I would have been the first to do videos on this niche, since in my country the only videos that are popular are about Fortnite, Call of Duty and pranks. After 2 videos...

    Creating a Niche...When There is No Such Niche Yet

    MARKETING 
    Has anyone managed to create a blue ocean among red oceans? This concept comes from the book "Blue Ocean Strategy" and is about differentiating your product so much that you are actually competing with nobody, since YOU are the entire niche/market. I thought about this in the context of...
