    Is Success down to hard work or luck?

    MINDSET 
    The video shouldn't sway your belief in hard work. If we take the hockey example and we break it down into cases, there are two cases for this hypothetical hockey player. Case 1: Born early. "Lucky". He still needs to work hard. Case 2: Born late. "Unlucky." Still possible. He still needs to...

    $100m business idea. Need some advice on a life changing business prototype.

    EXECUTION 
    Let me help you a little with the technical programming jargon. "Saved logins, passwords and account IDs" = That's just what we call 'Authentication' in the business (It's a process that verifies someone or something's identity.) It's often mixed up with another related concept called...

    What's The Best Route?

    IDEA 
    You don't have to accept his offer. You should try negotiating. If you are willing to walk away from the deal, you are in a great negotiation position. I would try negotiating a flat % of revenue (or profit if he won't go for it) instead for the next five years of the new campaign so you can...

    Your advice for someone who is generally disrespected but always dreamed of big things for himself in life

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think your problem is that you have weak boundaries. If you have weak boundaries, some people will sense that and walk all over you. That's probably the "signal" that people pick up on. You can fix that with some work. How to set boundaries

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    When I read that I think : You know what you should do. You are suppressing yourself by convincing yourself that it's actually not actually worth doing. How can you know how you will feel in the future? Nobody can. Maybe try trusting that part of yourself that is excited about things again...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    I agree with your point that you can't know until you rule it out, but I agree with MTF more here. The problem is that therapy focuses on psychopathology and bringing people to a functional level (from negative to zero), but they don't know much about human flourishing (from zero to 100)...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    I think he's saying something more profound than what you are assuming. He's saying that you are right in a way but that the very arguments you used in your conclusion are irrational. They come from a feeling of absurdity, not a rigorous logical process. He's also saying that you cannot discount...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    I'm a little surprised that this is your conclusion here. I think that this way of thinking could potentially be dangerous and make you even less excited about life. The philosopher Thomas Nagel wrote about this kind of thinking in his book "The Absurd," and he does it much better than I ever...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    I'm with MTF on this one. I don't wake up excited in the morning most of the time. I don't control the mood I'm in when I wake up (directly), it just happens unconsciously. It's a little f*cked up when I think about it; it's as if my brain is withholding the excitement from itself? It could...

    Where can I meet NT types: NTJs/NTPs, with fastlane mindset? (Also, say hello if you're one!)

    QUESTION MEETUPS 
    Idk it feels like it shouldn't be too hard for you to find someone with NT personality type. Looking at some statistics: the NT types add up to 10% of the population.. So 1 in 10. The problem is probably more about the lack of shared interests. I'm INFJ, and I do feel a little alienated from...

    What's your real-life non-productivity porn morning routine that gets you crushing in business?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I invented a little ritual that seems to work for me. I keep it in my back pocket for days when I need it. I take a hot shower and start smiling even though I don’t feel happy. I don’t try to think happy thoughts, I just do the facial expression. After a few minutes, I generally start feeling...

    Is Ego Good Or Bad?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    That reminds me of something in the book I'm currently reading. In "The Magic of Thinking Big," the author proposed the following exercise : Let's say you are working in a big company. Tell your friends and coworkers that you will become the company's CEO one day. They will probably laugh at...

    How to Kill Your Loyal Following: Use NFTs for Crowdfunding

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't want to pick on you in particular, but I see a lot of claims like that online. My problem with those claims is that I don't believe people really understand the limitation of the technology. This video is very good at explaining the threat models that crypto can and can't deal with from...

    I'm glad you appreciate it. That's funny! I agree that it's a trap, but I think that's actually a great approach overall. You can get rid of your material possessions... and then you realize that you miss them and you need a new approach! It's better than paralysis by analysis any day of the...

    I also like the thread. You remind me of my past self. I also got some bad childhood RNG, and I used to struggle a lot with my neurotic tendencies (anxiety, panic attacks, alexithymia, depression, low self-esteem, etc, etc). You also seem obsessed with knowledge and learning like me. Are you...

    Cool man. You probably will need ads if you have a low price (or VC money). Having a high price is OP imo, which Alex Hormozi also often talks about. I could elaborate on that, but that's not really worth it at this stage. I thought about your post yesterday, and I remembered this website/app...
