<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve been trying to eat less processed foods. The less people mess with it the better.<br /> <br /> Eggs and filtered milk &gt; protein powder. Why eat some factory processed stuff, when I can just eat real food.<br /> <br /> Cod livers &gt; omega oils and other pills <br /> <br /> I got some tins of cod livers in their own oil. Turns out it tastes pretty good. I don&#039;t like the texture but the flavor is good. My son LOVES them. He eats it like crack. We tried smoked livers today, and the oil has a nice smokey flavor. He was literally spooning the oil to drink. I guess that&#039;s good! Get the kids hooked on healthy super foods at a young age.<br /> <br /> I remember trying to choke down fish oil as a kid. This stuff is 1000x better.<br /> <br /> I just need to find a better source, it&#039;s damn near $10 Canadian a tin on Amazon.</div>

Those guys are typically good loyal worker bees.<br /> <br /> I haven’t experienced the super outlier thing. I find pretty normal people make a million dollars a year.<br /> <br /> You don’t even need a business for that. You can just become invaluable and super effective for another company to make that kind of money.<br /> <br /> They tend to do an awesome job. They are super effective at all they do. They think outside the box. But it’s important not to relate hours worked in a day to overall pay. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Some just use them better.<br /> <br /> Multi millionaires aren’t necessary workaholic nut cases.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">My neighborhood is getting destroyed by huge mobs of migrants moving into multiple homes and the county/police do absolutely nothing about it. They encourage it actually. They&#039;re packing 20 people in one house and average 15 cars per house. It&#039;s easy to afford $4k/mo rent when you&#039;re dividing it among 20 people.<br /> <br /> Someone should start a biz offering navy seal security guards to wealthy folks. Think of it as a specialized niche for recruiting agencies. It&#039;ll probably grow like crazy as civil unrest continues to rise.<br /> <br /> Current pain points that I&#039;m observing:<br /> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">zero parking left because all the spots got taken by beater cars</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Loud parties lasting 24 hours. Police don&#039;t come unless there is physical danger.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">beer bottles and trash left everywhere along the street</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">sheds and tents being rented out in the backyards with illegal electrical wiring. Potential fire hazard.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Doordash is the primary gateway for the influx of migrants in the neighborhood. They&#039;re driving around with 5 phones using stolen identities. It killed the opportunity for those legitimately driving for Doordash with 1 legit account. If you successfully sue Doordash for this, you could win a lot of money.</li> </ul>If you can solve this situation, you stand to make $$$. There are a lot of wealthy neighborhoods currently experiencing this. The average home on my street is $1.4M.</div>

Scaling is a double edged sword. Losses get amplified quickly.<br /> <br /> People who have scaling systems set up are more busy, more stressed and work longer hours, and of course make more money when they are doing things right, because otherwise mistakes are much more costly.<br /> <br /> If you are a solopreneur your revenue is mostly an unpaid salary. Capital expenditure or business cost is low. You could be busy but the mental stress is a lot lower because mistakes are less costly.</div>
