    --- UPDATE --- So, last few months. I made it up to 22K / month and was able to bag big name clients. My max spending was something like 5-6K / month, so great margin there. But, I was still trading time for money, stuck in projects I couldn't leave and a model I could not automatize. Now...

    Can't Hurt Me: by David Goggins, Review and Discussion

    HOT! 
    Just wrote a *very short* review. I think the book is great, but it still doesn't do him justice. You just have to watch the guy on video. His interviews on Rogan or on ImpactTheory on Youtube are amazing.

    EXECUTION

    Please critique my exercise regimen

    HEALTH 
    the only thing i would change: exercise every day. the key is consistency. i found that i failed doing any x days / week program completely as some work related thing would throw me off schedule. now i do something every day, first thing in the morning. i think overall it's not what you do, but...

    don't know about you, but the developers i know (including me) didn't execute because they were too comfortable with just making money working for others. those that did try to execute failed because they were too much in love with the technical aspects. i did the same mistake. now i'm only...

    fyi, something I have seen becoming really popular lately are virtual summits. think of those as 10-20 different pre-recorded Webinars created by thought leaders in a specific niche. audience members pay access to it & can watch and chat at the same time (similar to youtube or twitch). if you...
