    Starting a pizza / pizzeria business, talk me out of it

    IDEA 
    Right! I wonder if anyone realizes that one of the factors why some people make so much money is because they are willing to do things others won't. Simple as that. Hats off to you. Respect.

    Starting a pizza / pizzeria business, talk me out of it

    IDEA 
    @polaroid22 I worked for a family that owns and operates an Italian deli & grocery. Been in business over 75 years. They are sitting on a pile of gold, they love what they do, and they have become pillars of the community. They are small, they are niche, but they MAKE MONEY. The food business...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    Right. It was easy because we got introduced to people who shared an interest. It sounds dumb and simple, but we were kind of "dumb and simple" before Facebook and Discord and ChatGPT. And honestly I loved it.

    As a GenXer who attended high school the same time as that video, I will volunteer to answer. In short, no. 6 years after graduation my girlfriend and I still had house parties every weekend, either with friends or family. We had a pretty active social life. Even 10 years later. A lot of music...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    I hang out at a shared workspace / cafe, and I routinely run into at least a half dozen people and usually the chances are 50% that I end up having lunch or drinks with them in the evening. I'm part of a couple of clubs that were formed over a shared interest. I'm 50 and probably end up hanging...

    How do you stop self sabotaging for good?

    MINDSET 
    At one point in life I was stuck on vacation mode and completely tuned out. I couldn't put a routine together to save my life. Then, I started planning for the next day on the night before. Pulled me out of a nosedive. Very powerful.

    #3 is severely underrated. I've been caught shit talking myself only to look at my 'done for the day' list to see that I checked it all off. Being down on yourself can become a habitual thing. Looking at your accomplishments in black and white can re-frame your perceptions and silence The...

    Exactly. Hey I've been there. I've made this mistake before. It takes some time, patience, and an open mind. Once you get genuinely curious about finding and solving problems, all of these opportunities just start leaping out at you. This is why MJ calls money Value Vouchers. To the OP, you...

    This conversation reminds me of this: –Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance From what I can tell from TMF, MJ internalized his goal to create an awesome resource for people who needed limo service. He gave up partying and going out on the weekends, he lived in his small...

    Andy please feel free to make a copy of my sheet and do this. I'm done with it. People can freely take this and make it into something more awesome, and even make money with it.

    :thumbsup: You're proving what I learned while doing this. Small input changes result in giant differences. Other factors: • Taking into account any of the basic living expenses • Using after tax pay, not pre-tax figures • Making room for increased living costs over that time frame ($30k...
