    If You Work Remote at a Job, Listen To This Advice.

    IDEA 
    You aren't wrong on this assessment; it depends on personality as to how it applies. I understand how the soft comfort could hold one back, though it didn't apply to me personally to the point I needed to not moonlight for myself. Once I realized (as a remote high-paid engineer) that I was being...

    If You Work Remote at a Job, Listen To This Advice.

    IDEA 
    I'll answer your question: It's because they are afraid to try, and fail. I used to do this when I was 14-20 years old or so. I'd intentionally sabotage myself as a way of protecting my fragile ego. Many never grow out of this, so they end up as a 62-year old wagie with a long string of moral...

    If You Work Remote at a Job, Listen To This Advice.

    IDEA 
    Man, some of the advice in this thread is absolutely clownish for an entrepreneurs' forum. You have exactly ONE life to live on this earth, and trophies belong to winners. If you want a trophy (whatever that means to you), F*cking go win. If you are working a large corporate remote job, we all...

    Joining as a co-founder - can it become Fastlane?

    QUESTION 
    How well do you know the CEO? That is really important to this question IMO. Basically, what is his motivation for asking you on as a co-founder? It must either be that he knows you and trusts you, you have a stellar reputation in your circle, or he's desperate and drowning, and grasping at...

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    My following comment might seem pedantic, but I assure you it is not. A flywheel's momentum is not an exponential equation. Exponential growth is not required or expected when we talk about a flywheel. The point is simply that prior actions add to the flywheel's momentum. They key to a flywheel...

    Am I too stupid?

    MINDSET 
    Given your impressive sense of introspection, and your degree and line of work, I doubt you are as dumb as a bag of hair or anything like that. Definitely don't let a bad day sailing define you :rofl: Now, it's possible that you aren't a gifted intellect, but it's really not necessary for...

    I am offered to be a CTO in a startup

    IDEA 
    I live in the US, so I grew up in a first-world country that is also the main province of a global empire. Now, that empire is dying and the country is getting more third-world each year. Not trying to be political at all, just noticing the steady decline in infrastructure and education over my...

    I am offered to be a CTO in a startup

    IDEA 
    This gave me a chuckle. I appreciate your honesty. I've become more this way through the general process of getting jaded, so I understand it. For much of my life I've hated the thought of being a 'money-grubber'. What made me way more serious about money was having to work for a bunch of total...

    First Steps On The Road Less Taken

    INTRO 
    Welcome. Document organization is key to many organizations like mine. We do engineering and fabrication, mostly in the oil and gas sector. We produce a lot of engineering documents, like drawings, datasheets, and vendor documentation. I can tell you what I want: Each "document" in the system...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    When you start seeing total normies talking about how they are Blockchain Experts and making "generational wealth" and so-on, you know the top is near. I ignored those time-honored signs last bull run, figuring that maybe mass-adoption was occurring. Whoops! I've been DCA'ing ever since that...

    I am offered to be a CTO in a startup

    IDEA 
    If you actually want equity, make sure it is an iron clad written contract. I'd absolutely hire a lawyer to get that agreement ironed out. I have seen numerous instances in my industry (also a Mech E) where people were promised equity and it never happened. Now they are 40, 45, 50, and starting...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] (24 y/o) Sick and cognitively impaired for 2 years... Doing the work anyway

    EXECUTION 
    Very cool thread, and congrats on your successes and perseverance through setbacks. My family has also taken great pains to get clean and improve our health. None of us were suffering quite to your extent, but we've all seen big improvements! It's kind of shocking once you go down the rabbit...

    I haven't done anything, but i've got an idea

    INTRO 
    I like the idea of basically a gated community version of craigslist. I'm at the point of life where I'm happy for the option to pay and keep the riff-raff out. BUT, I'm also not a very typical consumer. MJ is right that 2-way marketplaces are tough to start; you have to get that critical mass...

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    I read both of Collins' books and thought they were worthwhile. Initially, I was confused by the flywheel concept because I was overthinking it. It's truly just building momentum by small actions. The difficult part here is in first choosing the correct flywheel to push on, and secondly being...
