    Saying you want to start a business and change your life while lying around and "preparing" is like standing at the edge of the swimming pool and saying you want to swim... Reading books about swimming. Cleaning your goggles. Buying nice swimming shorts. Looking around for the best pools in...

    It won't Work... But Try it ANYWAYS.

    MINDSET 
    Ever since I've picked up entrepreneurship, I've slowly noticed this one thing in life: Things seem a certain way but often are actually completely different. "Women are all selfish and superficial, I won't ever find a partner" Well, have you even just asked one how her day went? Maybe if all...

    How do you become a creative, out-of-the-box thinker?

    MINDSET 
    While reading the stories of great people like Steve Jobs, Isaac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, Bill Gates and even MJ DeMarco, I concluded that these people have had immense creativity and thinking capacity that many people lack. And because of these skills, these people brought so much change...

    List of Problems that Need a Solution

    IDEA 
    I tried finding a list or problems in need of a solution in the forum but wasn't able to. IMO, this is the place to start when trying to come up with a new venture: noticing a need, and then deciding if you should pursue supplying a solution. I'd love for this thread to become a massive list...

    Lurker for 2 years. Switching the strategy.

    INTRO 
    Hey, I'm Artiom. I've been a lurker here for some time. Through the past 2 years, I've been consuming a lot of posts, but still haven't produced anything reasonable.

    Please tell me solving problems can be anything.

    RANT 
    I'm just confused about how to deal with problems. So how to know whether it needs to be solved for is a problem or no. Because it happens when I do not see anything to people sees a problem. And I want to always be automating the process of actions taking. But Choosing by an inner call to...

    A physicist's guide to learning hard things (and using the scientific method)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    So I was responding to a thread, and realized that one problem I see with some folks, newbies in particular, is that they lack a systematic methodology for teaching oneself. This isn’t surprising, as it’s not really a skill that we’re taught early in life. Realizing this, I figured I would share...
