    Mental Health, Depression, ADD Discussion Thread

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    @Supa — the best resource I ever found for OCD is this one: What is I-CBT? It is the only form of therapy that understands that OCD actually appears to be rational — in the sense that your doubting makes sense that is why you continue to persevere in it. Most other therapies claim that OCD is...

    Don’t worry I’m just taking the piss. I liked his points.

    Why is the dude so hyped up FFS? :rofl: "Millionaires get up at 5 AM, they're like Oooh Yeaaaah, they do cold plunges..." The F*ck bro... he must be eating Adderall for breakfast

    I don’t think it’s predictable in that sense. But imo it’s all due to our lack of knowledge. Fundamentally, success is deterministic. Do the right thing(s), succeed. You may not know what the right thing is, that’s true, but this doesn’t mean success is probable/improbable. Much rather that...

    Very interesting comments overall, thanks for sharing. I’d say the search for answers continues up to at least the $10M revenue level for those in creative businesses. I know I’m still searching, still unsure. Maybe if you’re at $1M in a boring old school business where not much changes —...

    Investing Your Psychic Energy in Yourself

    MINDSET 
    Agreed. However, I think it’s not a good purpose because it’s too general. The entrepreneurship one is better, but not by much. You know what a great purpose is? It’s like what Edmond Dantes from the Count of Monte Cristo had when he escaped from prison. To find the treasure Abbe Faria told...

    How to use MJ (The "G") To Build An Audience (Twitter Edition)

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Imo this is a bad move. It’s building MJ’s value instead of this guy’s. If I wanted to build a brand parallel to fastlane, I’d never use the same concepts. Probably I’d use MJ’s concepts as a starting point, make them my own, and then develop it further than MJ ever did. This is how innovation...

    Investing Your Psychic Energy in Yourself

    MINDSET 
    In terms of practicalities, sure. But what I see as most important is the philosophy behind the practicalities. For example, you could take something like what Christian monks and what Zen masters do and conclude based on the practicalities (sitting in silence, etc.) that they are doing...

    I scored the same as you. @Antifragile must be an alien.

    Investing Your Psychic Energy in Yourself

    MINDSET 
    These are some ideas that I’ve had due to a recent discussion with @rpeck90 that I feel may be lifechanging to some people here. Our discussion was mainly about business and how to invest in your business vs externals. But I realized that it applies equally, if not more so, psychologically...

    Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    It’s a long shot brother, I’m going to be honest with you, but I admire you for taking it on and hope you succeed! Personally I always prefer opportunities where you don’t ask for cash from someone else (ie without investors). If someone gives you money, they own you. To a certain extent, it’s...

    Successful people, how do you "work hard"?

    MINDSET 
    Flow by Mihaly Csickzenmihaly is a good book about happiness and goals and how they’re related.

    Successful people, how do you "work hard"?

    MINDSET 
    I do whatever aligns with the goals I have for my business that I think will move the business closer to those goals. I think a key point that I’ve often ignored in my entrepreneur career is enjoying the process of getting closer to your goals. Part of that is understanding that so long as you...

    Opinions on Dan Koe?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I know good/respectable entrepreneurs who like Dan Koe. Personally I don’t much like Dan Koe, but I haven’t looked into him that much. It seems he mostly sells to beginners/newbies. Not that this is a problem, but I see this as “low effort”. I don’t put much focus at all selling to newbies...

    FTC Bans Non-Compete Agreements

    TAXES | REGS 
    As a sidenote, this seems to apply only to employees and independent contractors, existing non-competes with senior executives remain in place. And you are also legally required to notify workers (including those who no longer work for you) where it applies that non-compete clauses are no longer...
