I heard word from my peers that my girl had found someone else in her university.
I asked for pics from my peers, and I saw her having a meal with the boy.
One half of me felt like an exploding volcano.
The other half said, 'She's just having a friend. It's fine as long they don't touch each other or do immature things.'
'She's just having a friend. It's fine as long they don't touch each other or do immature things.'
Thank you, @jon.a.
Managing anger is not really my strong point.
I won't blow up on people, but I find myself bottling it up.
That statement is pretty sad though. The old me would think that sounded like a conspiracy scheme, but it really isn't.
People choose what they want, and support what is safe for them.
Was it once said somewhere here that you cannot overcome 10,000 years of indoctrination?
Yes. Thank you.It's okay you are among friends here.
Thank you for your concerns and compliments.Hats off you on this! This will pave the path well for you going forward if you treat every project like this WHILE getting compensated at a level that you feel is sufficient for the time being.
@ZF Lee it sounds like you are doing pretty well.
As @MJ DeMarco and @Andy Black have basically pounded in my head, as long as you are pursuing your business ventures and have the right CENTS in place, you are winning the Fastlane journey.
Be kind to yourself and remember that you are wearing a bunch of different hats right now. It sounds like you have structured a pretty good timeline for how you are going to handle your projects/schooling.
Make sure to schedule some fun and relaxing time as well.
Takes like 2-3 hours to communicate and do my present tasks for Upwork. A bit long...but I want to put in the extra effort.
The other half said, 'She's just having a friend. It's fine as long they don't touch each other or do immature things.'
This is a distraction. If she has a problem, don't let it become yours.I will discuss this personally with her. Break it down firmly but carefully.
Thank you. Great questions!
I just came in this week.How much time do you have left in school?
TBH, I haven't really put a number on that in terms of sales and revenue.Where do you want to be three months from now with regards to your business?
Already have a part time job. Upwork.I’m assuming you live with your parents, if so cool, have a fulltime or Parttime job, and dump 100% of your net worth In building a buisness, that would be the ideal approach, now would be the time in life to risk all the marbles
Eventually I will drop school once the business are up and about, producing income that settles my basic living expenses. It's not a straight-end path, so to speak.I don’t see the point of school if you are committed to the “fast lane” besides wasting money it is also a waste of time unless you are chasing a career you are interested, which would mean you are not interested in the fast lane. You don’t have a buisness? Why not, what’s stopping you from doing something now? Why later. Things to think about
Thank you, @jon.a.Breathe Z.

I used to think of it this way.the anti career stuff on this forum is so stupid.
im sure there are people with long careers that are happy in life with what they're doing, there is fulfilling work out there that exists.
and why are you wasting time in school? you are stuck in the script yourself and judge others, yet you get money from your parents? you are literally worse than any one ''stuck in the slow lane''
leaching off parents & judging others in a condescending way. get real bud
Agreed.It seems to me like your maturity levels aren't where they need to be with this situation.
Keep yourself busy with other business related things, and you won't have time to dwell on petty sh*t.
If your girl posts something on her IG, you should be proud to tell people that you're with her instead of shaming her for what she decides to post.
I mean this in the best way for everyone in the situation.
She won't F*ck anyone.Are you okay with it? I mean if you're cool with being the bf who she runs back to after she F*cks someone else, then by all means keep buying her gifts and rewarding her like you said you would do.
Trust me, this relationship is over. Set her free and let her live her life, and set yourself free and focus on what you need to do.
Sorry bro, but you needed to hear it.
The hall was filled with young working adults. The kind that struggles with job stress and challenges.
Speakers came up, and red flags starting waving in my head when I heard the words'Amway', 'Diamond' and 'passive income' peppered throughout the speeches. I thought of getting the hell out of there, but decided to have some respect for them.
So I stayed on until the end, which wasn't very long.
Mr. G took me aside and offered to help me learn more about this 'opportunity'. I decided to humour him, so he started talking about how the Amway business model worked
I used to think network marketing was wiped off the face of the earth, but now it seems it has put ONLINE BIZ into the equation with some scheme called Network 21. All other mechanisms like inviting (harassing?) friends to buy your stuff still apply. Then another guy, Mr.W and an accountant (lol), Ms. E popped in to chime in.
3 folks against 1? Huh?
Finally, I had to put my foot down.
I asked them 2 questions:
- How many products have you all sold PERIOD.
- Do you have control over your products? If a customer hates a product, can you do anything about it? Make it better?
Instead of giving me clear answers, the geezers got Ms. E to REPEAT the entire explanation of the model, with numbers that might as well as well be imaginary.
