    Want to Succeed? Don’t Waste Your Time Doing This…

    MINDSET 
    Inspired by a recent series of posts (as well as recent personal experience). The market has spoken. They don’t want what you have to offer. You’ve tried something and you’ve failed. It hurts. I get it. You’re out some money, time, and you’ve embarrassed yourself in front of friends and...

    You're Not Afraid Of Failure... This Is What You're Really Afraid Of!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    What I’m afraid of isn’t failure. I don’t fear failure. I’ve failed lots, ever since I was a baby. The failure itself is almost never fatal, and if it were, you wouldn't know it anyway. What I fear is an emotional state of insufficiency. It’s a painful state. It's pain that I fear. I'm afraid...

    Where were you 10 years ago? (Jan 1 2010)

    OFF-TOPIC

    Take Your Computer Security Seriously! YOU Are At Risk!

    GOLD! 
    I didn't think it would happen to me. A few days ago, I woke up with about ~$1200 USD (in different currencies) taken from various bank accounts via Paypal transactions I didn't make.

    $100 a day or $10k/Month: Why You'll Never Meet Your Goals, And What To Do About It

    I’ve been thinking about goal setting. Most people don’t set goals, and the people who do sometimes don’t achieve them. I can easily say “I wanna make $10,000 this month” and not do anything different. Will I make $10,000? Of course not. I didn’t do anything different! The only way I started...

    Toronto Fastlane meet up: Summer Edition

    MEETUPS 
    C+B had an amazing showing from Toronto this weekend. So why don't we all get together and share our progress later on in the summer? The plan, I think, will be to take over the lobby of a hotel for a day, then grab dinner somewhere in the area. We will set a date once we get enough people who...
