You not posting absurd questions would definitely be worth $2100 to me.

Start a thread on this. I've broken so many personal walls my hands hurt. I bet you can break through.

I’m pretty sure he’s autistic. He could definitely add value to that community if he’s not.
or a conversation that would help me get past this huge emotional wall I have about business.
I sometimes write things as I think of them, and I wanted to add one little anecdote about one way psychology hampered my earning potential.
See our brains often aren't as intelligent as we'd like them to be. They make quick sweeping judgments that sometimes sacrifice accuracy for quickness.
Much of my adult life I've felt bad taking money from people. Even if I did them a great service, I'd feel bad taking their money. Even when it was obvious both parties benefited from the transaction. So I did a little digging as to why, and figured out the root event for this. The event was: when I was a kid my dad always gave me money. My dad was of course the male figure I most looked up to in my life, so I really respected the things he did. When I was below kindergarten age, he would always just give me $1, $5, $10.. whatever. So one day I thought it would be nice to give him a dollar. I mean he was always giving me money, so why not. I handed him a dollar, and the generous provider he was, he wouldn't accept it. He obviously wasn't being mean, he was just being a gentleman by not accepting a 3 year old's money. My mom saw it and was like "he's just trying to be nice... don't do that" and I don't remember if he took it or not. But in that momen a belief was formed: "gentlemen don't take money from people." No one here was being malicious, it was just that my father was my role model for what real men did. In that moment, I learned it was 'ungentlemanly' to accept money from people.
As you can imagine, this belief took a pretty large toll on my earning capacity throughout the years. I'd feel bad asking asking for money, I'd feel bad asking for more. All sorts of things.
Even if you have a benign upbringing with completely well-meaning parents, things can (and do) go wrong. And I think a good therapist can help you get to the roots of these things.
Thats very vague...
I’m pretty sure he’s autistic. He could definitely add value to that community if he’s not.
The only things I would pay $2100 for right now are: a vacation to somewhere cold, a vacation to somewhere hot,vacation to visit my brother

Yes, start a thread. There are plenty of people here that can help get you over your hurdle and it won't cost you $2100 either.
Talk it out. Let's make the best of this thread.
My first thought was to suggest you could pay me to avoid posting(at last I have found a way to monetize my content), of course I really doubt you seriously meant that.
That's a good way to start doing market research. First step is to always figure out a given population's needs.I will give it a go, I'm really trying to hone in on business owners, so will try to find an audience of autistic business owners, to try and find their issues/problems
No just tell us your goals so we can figure out exactly what you're trying to accomplish. That seems like a very specific number so I'm guessing there's a reason you need to make that amount of money.Curious how trying to have a serious conversation based on the advice on the forum is apparently antagonistic.
This question is hard to answer without context. I'm not sure I get it... @LittleWolfie do you need to make $2100? There are plenty of things that would add $2100 worth the value. A new MacBook, some new furniture, some classes to enhance programming skills. Are you looking for ways to make money? It's probably better to explain why you need to make $2100 so we can better answer the question.
What is the goal you're trying to achieve?
MINDSET - Opinion: Everyone (yes, everyone) should have a therapist. Especially those trying to pursue an Entrepreneurial lifestyle.
So, you decide you're going to start going to the gym. You've never been there before and you're not an expert on fitness. This gym offers free personal trainers for every client. Absolutely free, no catch, no fine print. It would be completely insane to pass up that opportunity. In the US...www.thefastlaneforum.com

I'm on the spectrum, took a long time to understand how "people" think, talk, act, and move. You might consider studying your market, learn what makes the market you are trying to penetrate work, and then emulate the values they seek.
If wielded properly and with the lightest touch, being on the spectrum can be a benefit not an incumbrance. I would suggest more time in the real world and not in the forum. Does a world of difference for developing the thought process to engage the business oriented people that stalk these pages.
Currently you're just setting yourself up for ridicule due to the poorly planned content and what comes off as arrogance, even though it is only the lens you see the world through. Ask better question, more thought out questions. Review your questions from the viewpoint of "can people understand my message" not "people need to understand me"
Add value to the forum, not create speedbumps to the learning of others.
Oh Wolfie...So basically asking my main question in another way.

This requires me knowing what would add value to the forum, however asking that question is apparently a speed bump to others learning?Add value to the forum
DM me..It’s frustrating not knowing which thread to pull on to unravel the ball.
But there are literally infinite answers to that question.I want to ascertain what would add value then I can identify what of those items if any I could perform.
OP?
What could someone do that would add that value for you? What’s your personal answer to this question?
Once you solve it for yourself maybe you can then turn around and solve it for others who are like you.
Oh Wolfie...
We need to get you to contain these to a single thread. Along those lines, we need to get you to contain yourself to a single concept. Something to obsess over that moves the needle for you.
If you could find a way to digest and reformulated the TAKE ACTION/ value first philosophy espoused here, format it into a system that helps you help others understand it,
and get it into a course; then, you'd be able to sell it to the parents of the exponentially growing ASD population.
If you can use your disadvantage to power hope for the parents who just want to see their kids reach for the stars, you'd have an idea worth $2077/minute.
But there are literally infinite answers to that question.
Okay.. what would add $2100 (sorry, $2077.50*) worth the value to my life... here goes..
• 2002 bottles of Evian Spring Water
• A set of chef-grade professional steak knifes with a lifetime unlimited warrantyWhy chef-grade? What is wrong with consumer grade?• 207.37 steaks to go with my steak knives
Why unlimited? What is the advantage of that to you over a pay as you go?• 3.27 years of an unlimited-use carwash service
How is that better than a Dell or Toshiba for you?• A new iMac
Why Mocha? How is that better than an Americano or a cappuccino? What about from Costa?• 420.42 Mocha Frappicinos from Starbucks
Not a dog person then
And I'm only .0000000000000001 × 10⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹ % of the way through the list.
There are infinite things that can be worth $2100 ($2077.50 rather).. we have to know what you want to accomplish.
I don’t understand that all.
I'm telling you Wolfie... If you can get what the big guys here are saying, and integrate it into how you operate, you'll be able to light the world on fire as the ASD etc Tony Robbins.Sure, that is plan. A few people in real life, have told me I should write a book, they never have a suggestion as to what topic though.
My wife (she'll kill me if she ever sees this), would spend us into the literal poor house on social skills classes, autism karate, autism horse camp, etc, etc. It got so bad I had to separate our finances because it was robbing my fledgling business of wood buying money!
We're starting in the wrong place.
Figure out what you're good at, what you like doing, what the world needs and what you can get paid for first.
Then start thinking of ways to add two thousand seventy seven dollars and fifty cents worth the value.
Since it seems like you want to help people with Autism, then start talking to them and seeing what their needs, wants and desires are.
That will tell you what they value two thousand seventy seven dollars and fifty cents worth.
@LittleWolfie, do you have a spare bedroom?Anything that helps my 10 year old find an academic or artistic interest, or increases her chances of leading a long, happy, and productive life.
A non-surgical fix for my mother's knee.
The motivation to pull weeds and pick up stones in the garden, or someone willing to do the same who also knows the difference between a fruit tree and landscape shrubbery.
No, I only have one room@LittleWolfie, do you have a spare bedroom?
