    How would a poor man go on with creating a trademark and IP

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    Don't confuse different kinds of intellectual property. The IP is yours in the sense of copyright, whether it is registered or not (in the US). If you want a patent and you have a bona fide invention, you need to register a patent. Trademark is not your problem until you start actively...

    How to improve immunity?

    HEALTH 
    Had a period like that and spoke to a couple doctors. It turned out, immunity is a very complex topic. For example, if I understood correctly, there was some recent research how a certain vitamin B (forgot which one) is used to make a marker to mark the invading bacteria to be later destroyed...

    Hostel cyclist, cycled around the world and managed hostels need help clarifying business direction

    INTRO 
    If you can meet another 100 extreme athletes, you can start a company finding corporate sponsorships for them. Then you can keep 10% to yourself. You probably don't know how to approach sponsors, for that you'd need a partner, then you'd need to know how to meet more extreme athletes. If you...

    Hostel cyclist, cycled around the world and managed hostels need help clarifying business direction

    INTRO 
    Just because you love something doesn't make it a business idea. More people like to play chess than to cycle around the world. So think of world-class chess players, a few of whom have accumulated $3-5M dollars and very few more than that: Top 10 Richest Chess Players in the World 2023 -...

    What do you think of Rich Dad Poor Dad?

    BOOKS 
    The idea of Slowlane is a key contribution of TMF. The idea that it's a Process is even more key. I have seen a very intelligent and high-earning professional read a bunch of books like that and decide to get "passive income from real estate." In the end he lost a lot of money and a lot of time...

    ChatGPT - Am I missing something here

    IDEA 
    Of course the content is looking all the same, it's by design. Chat GPT is not meant to output the most creative stuff, it is meant to output the most plausible stuff. Though I have made it dream up some insane stories including one about a NYC rat who became a well-known pest control specialist...

    Lead generation for real estate agents??

    There is a book called The Mortgage Marketing Manifesto by the guy behind LeadPops. Here he summarizes the various techniques. It's not the same as selling or renting real estate, but related. At least mortgage leads can be very time-sensitive. If somebody has entered their information on some...

    Struggling with your Goals? Here is a thread: How to set Goals by BRIAN TRACY!

    BOOKS MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Five or six years ago I read the book "No excuses" by Brian Tracy. I set 10 goals in writing around that time and discussed them with someone else to keep myself accountable. Most of the goals were not that ambitious and maybe not the best direction to apply my effort. I kept writing them down...

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA 
    asked Chat GPT for some examples and it found lifetime fitness, fitness formula clubs and some others. I confirmed that said chains do have cafes and/or other nutrition services by finding people on LinkedIn employed there.

    AI app/platform idea feedback - and next steps

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    Just keep working on it. Say, you spend 50 hours to build something. Then spend another 50 hours trying to find at least one person who'd want to use it. For a software engineer, it is critically important to try to engage with the market and experience first hand, how hard it can be to find...

    Panic Attacks & Entrepreneurship (a Blessing In Disguise?)

    MINDSET 
    @mikecarlooch I've been there, and many times. There are numerous techniques, though I found that the only ultimate solution is acceptance. So if my mind tells me that I am dying, I can agree with it, that fine, this is how my life will end, in front of my computer on a cold April afternoon...

    Learning by doing- Jumped into it with 1,000 book order

    EXECUTION 
    Upd: actually bought and read the book. In fact you aren't breaking down the topic at all. When I was 9, I was reading books that actually explained how to raise the imaginary unit to various powers, what a recursive program is, why the grass is wet in the morning and so on. I remember to this...

    Learning by doing- Jumped into it with 1,000 book order

    EXECUTION 
    Nice. Kudos for breaking down a complex topic. Though I am not a fan of "how central banks cause prices of things to go up by creating money..." Do you really want to raise children thinking that banks are evil? And isn't there also some inflation in the Bitcoin land? It's at 60K now. And...

    Stop reading self-improvement books

    MINDSET 
    @Madame Peccato, as on example, I have read Eric Franklin's "Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance." In my mind it is not a self-improvement book, however. It doesn't tell me the meaning of life, the "rules for life," how to be a different person. The self-improvement books I have in mind...

    Stop reading self-improvement books

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for all the input. So far my theory still stands. Self-help books are written for the mainstream. So you will not get level 3 or level 4 knowledge in this way. Once you have been thoroughly exposed to the idea of getting rich, more general-purpose books on money won't help. Once you...

    Hi everyone! I want to help people handle INTENSE emotions in the moment.

    INTRO 
    Remember, anyone can sing and anyone can audition for a talent show? But only a fraction of a fraction get selected. Similarly, anyone has experience handling intense emotions and can give some common-sense advice. But only a fraction of a fraction are so good, they can effectively coach it to...

    Stop reading self-improvement books

    MINDSET 
    As someone who has read a lot of non-fiction, my advice is know when to stop. Somebody asked on this forum, what book to read after TMF, and got very insightful advice: don't read any. Just take action. Just because a book is in a self-improvement section at Barnes & Noble does not mean that it...

    Have no direction with my career, advice needed

    Hard to assess your skills from the information given. Not a very good programmer - what does it mean exactly? Most people with a computer science B.Sc. who worked at Google or Facebook for 2-3 years are not very good, because less than 1% are very good. Or is it more like you have only ever...

    Luxury goods millionaires? Really?

    Either way you have to create value. You have explained yourself that the value is not in the product but in the brand. Put the same amount of effort into creating a brand, and after 1000s of hours you will probably understand how it works.
