    Basic Financial Intelligence is Fastlane: Some Simple Strategies to Use Now.

    GOLD! INVESTING 
    Thanks for bringing this up. Just reading "The Soul of Money" and Lynne Twist talks about sufficiency. , and enoughness - as the path to abundance and wealth. (but check yourself on the definition of what those 2 words actually mean to you). If we could only recognize that what we have is...

    At 23, Building Beyond Journey and Writing—Looking for Advice on Growing Something Scalable

    FEEDBACK INTRO 
    Welcome! Inspired by your story! Even setting up a Bullet Journal system as we speak. Folks on this site may tell you there's no handbook to tell you what to do and how to do it. There are many paths, a lot of ways to do it, and people that have gone before you, so yes, there are most...

    My body reacts negatively to success and I need your help

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    You got it, girl! I'm also working on this. Although I'm taking action, I feel like it's overarchingly more important to get my mind, beliefs, what I say to myself - right - as in on my side. Once that's in place, the rest will flow more easily. It's a tough situation to be in, being the...

    Solving Posture from First Principles

    EXECUTION 
    I"m in! Can't wait to see what you've developed! When I people watch, I'm always looking at their posture - how they carry themselves, and how they walk. If I see someone hunched over, I immediately shift my own posture as if to counterbalance, and remind myself and my body to be more...

    Avoid Trivial Mistakes Before Trying to Have Superpowers

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Yes! I believe we often seek coaching and guidance, but rarely do we reveal ALL of what we do. We tend to highlight certain areas, but if our coach could follow us around for a complete day or two imagine what little nasty habits they could see and clean up. We don't show those, and may not...

    Dilemma on moving forward - paying for training?

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    Yup, I get it, but I need to start somewhere, just so I feel like I'm making progress toward some direction. I can always course correct if I see something better. You may have been in this mindset many more years than me, and you see the world differently. I'm just opening my eyes for the...

    Dilemma on moving forward - paying for training?

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    Yes. I wake up every day and ask myself how I will add value and to whom. Problem is I'm just flapping around in the breeze without a direction. I will contradict a prior post I wrote where I advocated for planning as opposed to taking action when you don't know what you're doing...

    Dilemma on moving forward - paying for training?

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    This week I took Steve Chou's 3 day course where he overviewed various ways to sell product. He introduced us to affiliate mkt, dropship, and private label, which he most highly recommeds, and the route I see myself going. He is selling his course as well which gives access to tons of info, a...

    Inventor's Virtual Meetup

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Great meeting, thank you. I have some follow-up questions: 1. When would it not be necessary to get a patent. It was mentioned that most ppl applying shouldn't really get a patent. 2. If you prove the market before investing time and money into full production, and even patent, then as we...

    Are there any in-person communities/organizations made for Entrepreneurs...

    MEETUPS 
    I'm sure there may be some places that are better than others, but these mastermind groups are everywhere. Move because a place feeds your soul, and then create your own group by being the person others want to be around because you're excited about opportunity. You could likely find them...

    Are there any in-person communities/organizations made for Entrepreneurs...

    MEETUPS 
    These mastermind groups happen all over. More important than moving to a location where 'they' are, move to a location (if you're called to do so) that feeds you. Start pulling these people toward you whether it be physically or virtually by being the one with ideas that other entrepreneurs...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    There's controversy on this forum about balance, but spending time on research and education vs. action and planning your business is definitely a balancing act. It depends on what chunk of time you look at for the balancing, or reconciling. Are you looking at a balanced day, week, month...

    I keep poring money into my business but a year after business registration still no revenue from it. Can I have my expenses reimbursed?

    TAXES | REGS 
    I don't know UK Tax law, but if you are a sole member LLC and didn't elect SCorp status, you are filing as an individual with a schedule C in the US, and you can take up to $5000 of startup costs as expenses, and $5000 organizational costs. If you spend more, you can still amortize costs over...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Yeah! Completed. I especially like the graphic representations of the ideas. Looking at a graphic can bring the whole concept and pieces together in one moment. I think I'll tack 'em all up on my wall. The subconscious operates through images. I've already used the CENTS parameters to...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    It's an interesting place to be in - to have only ourselves to think about and what we choose to do when we are not either taking care of others, wanting to be accepted by others, filling our time and busyness with trying to be in the 'in' crowd, or just doing what we are expected to do when in...

    5 Months passed and i did nothing.

    QUESTION 
    Your fastest path to cash is a service business - very little overhead or start-up. The teaching gig sounds perfect. From there, you can gain skills from building that business, and either scale or use the money to start a more preferrable product biz. Scaling a service business is more...

    Becoming an entrepreneur to protect H and J

    INTRO 
    Thank you for sharing, and glad you felt safe enough to do so. That sounded intense, but it sounds like you are aware of your 'why' (H and J). And seems like you are on the right path for you. Be gentle with yourself, give yourself some space and time. Observe and be aware- your idea is...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished the audiobook - on a roadtrip from AZ to TN to OH. This was the first book of MJ's that I read, and I would love to read the others, but first plan on diving deep and actually doing the exercise of creating a planasy and determining my escape number. The real life scenario helped...
