    Is it over for me ? People who once lost it all - how did you cope?

    MINDSET FAILURE HEALTH 
    You're dangerous to your opposition. Why? Because a man who has seen and walked through hell is a force to be reckoned with. But if you stay there and weep, hell will swallow you up. You need to open your mind. Calling Tony Robbins a charlatan isn't going to help you. I get it, when...

    Fact or fiction: Do entrepreneurs and business owners ACTUALLY have a “self-improvement-esque” routines?

    QUESTION 
    Most of it is mental masturbation and comprised of hours of action faking. Eat good, workout and sleep well. There's absolutely no need for ice baths or Pat Bateman-esque morning routines. Speaking of ice baths, I think they're absolutely stupid. Humans are warm blooded creatures for a reason...

    How was your quarter?

    QUESTION 
    My first quarter was extremely productive. I've had a bias for ACTION in all regards. Although my financial statement for this quarter is awful, I've learned a heap of new stuff and delivered value to people-- fulfilling my promise. Additionally, there's a super project I'm working on with...

    Share me some of YOUR favourite finance youtubers that helped you so far!

    GURUS 
    Most of YT/IG finance gurus follow the same bullshit plan of "don't buy coffee for 1 years and it'll be €388338 in 50 years!" Even Jordan Belfort was sprouting the same nonsense. "Hold the S&P for 50 years", that's great advice if I want to have the fanciest wheelchair. No thanks.

    The Revival of My Father's 18 Year Old Invention

    INVESTING PEOPLE QUESTION 
    Update: Received the original documentation from the Patent Office today. It was originally filed in 2006!! Reading through the description and looking at the sketches was fascinating. I'm going to print the documents and present them to my Dad. It was honestly like hopping back in a time...

    Rant: My Audience Resides in Ghost-Ville

    RANT 
    I agree. I've tried everything except phone calls, even going as far to personally email them. And yup, I usually operate assuming the customer has a "what's in it for me" mindset. However, it doesn't excuse not responding to basic feedback. If I help you with a problem, at least tell me if it...

    Rant: My Audience Resides in Ghost-Ville

    RANT 
    That's a good point. I'm going to offer them something in return for their feedback. Aside from customers, even simple polls on my Instagram go unanswered. I asked them if they'd be interested in a new feature I'm researching, and I got one person who answered. Sometimes, it feels like I'm...

    Found an Interesting Clothing Brand with Good Marketing? Thoughts?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    Like most clothing brands, I feel like I've seen this particular product 1000x times. And I highly doubt they're selling at this prices. $75 for a tank top? I don't even think Nike prices their tanks at this price. Last time I bought one it was maybe $40. I think it's a money-chasing venture...

    Why Do I Keep Getting Stuck at a Few Hundred Bucks a Month?

    IDEA 
    Are you telling her to get a job to hone her skills and find pain points or telling her to quit entrepreneurship altogether? Because if it's the latter, then MJ should of quit after his failed supplement business. Or how about when his girlfriend left him because he couldn't scrape a penny...

    Calling them is a possibility, but due to time-zone differences it could be hard to catch them when free. I try differentiate my style of communication by personally reaching out to them. Moreover, it's not automated or full of ChatGPT garbage. I totally get that most people aren't bothered...

    Rant: My Audience Resides in Ghost-Ville

    RANT 
    Okay. Hear me out-- Getting simple feedback from my audience is like pulling teeth from a bear. Now, let me say this- I've made every effort to engage through the form of educational content, giveaways and follow ups. My TA is Women from the ages of 35-65, and they're extremely engaged with...

    Cold emailing is f*cking annoying from the business owners POV

    ASSERTION 
    If I wanted to hire somebody, I'd firstly seek them out. Secondly, the vast majority of the spam emails I receive are written with broken English. If they can't be bothered to clean up their grammar, I don't want to do business with them.

    Growing an e-com

    MARKETING 
    In regards to getting your product in front of people, it's simple. But business isnt about getting people to see your product. The end goal is always to maximise your bottom line. If you can't do this, you don't have a business-- you have a charity. Here's some insights from my experiences...
