Sorry!! . Recently I spoke with my brother who’s in jail and has his parole review coming up next month.Great. Now I get to tap dance around a conversion with my little one about what pornography is and what is meaninglessness.
Millions I tells ya!
On a positive side…
Entrepreneurs live more in 1 year than many do in 10 or 50. By that math, when I die I may have lived 1,000 years and will be ready to go.
Funnily enough that's been scientifically proven.
We think we experience time faster because a year represents a smaller and smaller portion of our lives as we grow older. However the truth is our time perception is dictated by how many things we do and as we get older we do less things. As a twenty year old you have a much wider friend group you do as a fifty year old, thus you aren't going out as much, visiting people etc.
So they proved that our perception of time, is dictated by the amount of things happening in our lives, yes, "time flies when you're having fun". But we don't live our lives in the present, we are in a perpetual state of perceiving the future and past.
Think about holidays you've been on, if you have had an adventure packed one and also a lazy one, which one seemed to last longer in your memory? Chances are it will be the one whereby you did loads of things. Whereas the chilled out one on the beach you kind of remember as one long day of sameness.
This makes perfect sense as we perceive time to be "the rate at which things happen".
In another interesting related experiment, Derek from the Veritasium studio attempted to stay in a completely white room for seven days. After less than an hour he was completely disorientated and had no idea how long he'd been in there.
Afterwards he reported his time felt short when looking back, because he hadn't done much else other than wake up, eat, exercise, sleep. Thus his brain, (rather I think like computer memory fractalization) edits out most of the experience.
So that's basically a long way of saying, if you don't want life to speed up on you, do more stuff.
What's up with time eh? A month feels like a week these days. I'm 28, but time seems to have sped up dramatically these last 4/5 years.
It get's worse right?
Claiming that a pound of iron is heaver than a pound of feathers is NOT opinion.
Heard a great line on a podcast:
"No-one wants to give you a job. Everyone wants to give you advice though."
Ask for advice then?

Most people give crappy advice, especially the ones outside of the FLF.

I think it was good advice.Most people give crappy advice, especially the ones outside of the FLF.
Hmm, asking for advice will get you responses, but imo low quality responses. The advice you get may be great, but how does it position you?Hi everyone,
I'm doing XYZ.
Do you need help with XYZ?
(Asks for a job, gets ignored.)
vs
Hi everyone,
I'm doing XYZ.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get more business?
(Asks for advice, gets loads as everyone loves giving advice.)
That was just an example off the top of my head.Hmm, asking for advice will get you responses, but imo low quality responses. The advice you get may be great, but how does it position you?
They’ll think: “this poor guy, he must have a hard time getting clients, obviously what he does is probably no good”
It doesn’t make you look like an expert.
The first one isn’t great either, but at least that gives you a better fighting chance imo.
Ideally you’d network and become friends with the people first, and only tell them what you do when they ask about it and take it further if they show interest.
Then you create a dynamic where you are being chased, rather than you chasing, which is the most powerful kind of dynamic for sales.
I see what you mean. I think it’s a bit different than asking about how to get clients, especially if you are in marketing/sales, that really doesn’t position you well imo. But asking about advice in other areas, that’s a solid strategy to start a few conversations!That was just an example off the top of my head.
If I'm in a Facebook group of Irish business owners I'm quite happy asking for help with some grant I'm interested in, someone to explain wtf GDOR is about, or whatever.
Yes/noAnyone try/like masterclass?
Some of it looks like woke garbage, but there are some interesting names on there too. Look like potentially more educational mindless entertainment.
In Germany BBS Replica wheels are confiscated and destroyed, if the right police officer gets you. So with a fake Ferrari you will get about half the way to the TÜV until it’s confiscated! So no, not in Germany!Believe it or not, this is a homemade Ferrari LaFerrari
Homemade Ferrari LaFerrari: Owning a $1.5 million LaFerrari is a dream only few get to realize. So a group of friends from Vietnam built one instead.supercarblondie.com
Had to post this because its just too good. Building a ferrari from scrap metal, a shit car and clay.
If this is somehow legal to do in germany ill buy some crash car and give this a shot myself. Just the tought of driving around in a home made ferrari/lambo at age 19 is making me crack up.
One of these days I’ll put together a post about this subject. But the short short version is: nobody can stop you, but I wish you wouldn’t.Adobe's Record Revenue is Why Software Subscriptions are Inevitable
