I didn't realize that holding people to a standard of argumentation was landfill. Are you insinuating that people here do not have the emotional discipline to hold an argument? I would disagree I believe there are a number of people who can think critically through this. I'm actually looking to put together a mastermind group of seasoned entrepreneurs.

Where’s the argument? You didn’t even present your side. Just one sentence?

Startup Steve’s post is dumb, change my mind.

Worked already 10 hours today and still not a millionaire. What am I doing wrong?



Not charging enough per hour?

If you had charged 200k per hour you would have been a millionaire by lunchtime. ;)

I see. Now we're askting the real questions. What kind of actions gets you $200k per hour?
All I can think of are contractual deals in B2B. Sales. Could be anything, from delivering construction supplies to raw materials for manufacturing. Or marketing firm consultations. I hear that a few focus groups arranged by the latter can cost up to $20,000 PER session.

But you won't accomplish that in one sitting, or one day, for that matter. Even my simple freelancing gig took a week to materialise the green light, with interviews and all.

Don't think you can fix the amount based on an hourly charge alone, but by the deal/performance basis, that amount can be reached, especially with all the add-on support services.

Making lots of money as simple, change my mind.

How about keeping it?
There's competition. There's technological advancements. There's customer responses to marketing activities that changes like the wind direction. There's tax. Ah, tax....now that's an issue.

You could make money simply by earning some quid in one month, but the next month it drops, and the trend continues after. Cashflow and retained earnings is an issue here.

In argumentation someone starts off with setting a premise ( I've done that) and then someone reacts with an argument, then counter-arguments follow.

I'm really surprised that people aren't following. I'm going to have to give this entire experience some thought.

If you wanted a discussion, replying to everything with not an argument doesn't help.

People aren't following because you've offered nothing to start with.

Me: The Sun is not yellow, change my mind
You: It looks yellow to me
Me: Not an argument
You: Why do I bother wasting my time with this guy

This is not an argument.

Nothing you're saying is an argument either, it's just a statement.

I don't know if you're looking for attention or just acting smart for some other reason. But maybe you should support your side of the debate with some arguments or a story if you expect a good discussion.

And yes money can be hard to make, when you live in a corrupted country that doesn't work in your favour. Or when you've grown up in a society that never teaches you anything about success, insted pushes you to be mediocre at best.

Money can be hard to make when life throws you things like health issues, or other issues that can't be easily solved. And unfortunately for some people that is reality.

It's never impossible. But not everyone and everything can be measured on the same scale. ;)

I'll help.

Just reorganize your question and the answer is there: If you change your mind, making lots of money is simple.

If you don't it's not only hard but virtually impossible.

I pulled in a reference to confirm a definition and made a rebuttal.
if you take definition 9 .... Definition of SIMPLE ,
it is not simple for most people or more people would have lots of money. change my mind. :)
You made a nonsensical reply.
Not an argument
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
I called it #landfill as you wasted my time I spent replying to your thread by not actually engaging in a discussion.

Apparently you had a definition of minimum argumentation that was not communicated clearly.
I didn't realize that holding people to a standard of argumentation was landfill. Are you insinuating that people here do not have the emotional discipline to hold an argument? I would disagree I believe there are a number of people who can think critically through this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

What did we learn? Ask better questions.

If you would like to continue this conversation, reply to my rebuttal or dm me. Stick around, this is a great community. Communicate more clearly what you are looking for.....

I've been using message boards since pre-internet, before some of the users here were born, on bbs's. I get that this message board has its own subculture, I'm not a fit. That's okay it was worth exploring.

As for Quality threads? Pretty much just read every single one of MJ's posts that he created when he launched this platform. Then take a look at other MJ level people who can actually provide targeted implementation specific feedback to the wantrepreneurs.

Who says you're not a fit? If you would derive that conclusion after this thread, indeed you don't seem to be a fit. If however you see that this kind of "thread" is useless on here and you learn & talk/join the conversations, I don't see why you wouldn't be a fit?

You shouldn't take it personal, but somehow the recent trend especially with social media/technology is that everyone feels entitled to request time/energy from others: "change my mind"/"try to convince me"/...

Ehm why should *I* do that? If you like MJ's posts/books, you should acknowledge that the focus is on helping others and by doing so, you create your own welfare.. maybe I don't see your intention here (like the others), but I fail to see what value a simple message like that adds to the forum... The people on here have limited time/energy, so they won't bother for these things.

Again, don't take it personally.. you can & should fit in, if you want to. :)

@Startup Steve

I've landfilled this. It means it doesn't get listed on the homepage, but is still open for folks to engage with.

Personally, I've been impressed with some of your comments. You seem to know your stuff about bots etc. I think you can fit in, if you want to.

RE your question (was it a question?):
  • I prefer to think of "earning" money rather than making money.
  • I think the formula for earning money is simple: Add value. Get paid.

An easy way to make lots of money is with scale. Not many people will pay for a service that is $200k an hour. But if you have 1000 customers paying $100/hour, now you're making $200k/hour gross.
Absolutely Jay!

A forum - especially this one - is not your typical social media, where you dump all your brain farts in the hope to get exposure... I would't even use social media for that, but that seems to be the trend/'cool thing to do' on twitter these days...

So let me challenge you:

Starting a thread that adds value isn't simple, change my mind.

Making lots of value tokens is simple - if you are capable of creating a scalable value providing system.
