Exceptional points, I’d like to add conspiracy theorist or someone who questions mainstream new sources constantly is probably going to be a terrible employee. Just natural they’d like to eventually start their own company to have complete control of their destiny.
Broke's NetWorth Progression is absurd. Gives me hope!
As someone who is trying to escape the corporate world in a few years, this hits close to home...
People give you crap for not having any *personal* social media presence and think you must be hiding something.
It's like these people can't tolerate anyone remotely different than them. They need their colleagues to go to the bars all weekend and watch sports ball, exactly like them.
A few of us tried to launch a fantasy baseball game many years ago. Three years of maximum pain and tens of thousands of dollars later, we shut it down. I learned some key lessons that have stuck with me to this day:
1. Don’t start a business with a friend unless you’re potentially willing to lose that friend.
2. Trying to create something too new too soon will likely fail.
3. A niche of a niche isn’t scalable or sustainable unless you’re charging a ton of money.
4. It’s a big mistake to invest a ton of resources into building something before you know if people will pay for it: eg lean start up method, product market fit.
Gud truths here. Tricked out Linked-in profile means corp for life lol. “We all know with certainty that every single one of you reading this website have spent at least $20,000+ on stuff you regret.” Lol yeah multiples of that. Painful. But learned a ton from it.
Funny just the other day my cousin was bemoaning a misstep in his corp career that “left him behind”. They really do think this way. He could not at all relate to my sales experiences of cold-calling when I started my company. Like I was speaking Greek.
The more someone engages in internal Slack/Yammer/etc. channels not related to work the more likely they are to never leave. ‘Check out this interesting article about GenAI’ 🤦🏻♂️
anyone have the post (or maybe it was a twitter post?) where bull says you have the spend the median income in dating to get 8-10s or something to that effect?
Ha we gave up on all that stuff when we learned people think "making $500K is rich". Having money doesn't mean anything.
The reality is that women only value what they see & experience. If you are a billionaire but shop at Goodwill and refuse to drive anything nicer than a $5,000 honda civic, you're kinda screwed at seeing the value of being rich
Evaluation toolbox is spot on. Also, if you’re not willing to take 2 steps back to take 5 steps forward in your early 20s then you never will. People won’t even end a bad relationship or skip a beers with the bros 3x a week because it might be uncomfortable for 6-18 months.
When you see someone quivering about losing their job 1) their work sucks 2) work is late or 3) whatever dumb reason you know they can never handle the absolute unending misery of affiliate marketing.
I was wondering, do you think a career in advertising & marketing for leveraging in solo after could be relevant? Or are the traditional routes (sales/ws/tech) still the most relevant?
There is some merit to joining an ad agency but you better be 100% sure you can save enough money to try it on your own within 2-3 years, they don't pay well
A new classic.
Almost as good as the art post from many years back.
art post? Do you have a link? thanks

Hard to say on that one, some guys go too far and say stuff like we never landed on the moon
Get your point though, the overlap is questioning mainstream advice
Wow.

Super helpful, thanks.

Hahaha can see that

Hahaha yeah most have no guts to lose money initially need the guarantee stub
Fantastic! 🙏👏
Hey Bull,
I was wondering, do you think a career in advertising & marketing for leveraging in solo after could be relevant? Or are the traditional routes (sales/ws/tech) still the most relevant?
Thanks
Same old stuff will never change.
