I agree but you can do it all under one umbrella. Business is about solving needs in the marketplace. If Olaf wants to teach sheltered men how to get out of their comfort zones then I think he could do that and then expand into other things that leave his life more stable than the average dating coach. You can learn from their mistakes and find the staying power they lack. Most business owners burn out after a few years in any industry. Doesn't mean it's not possible nor a path worth pursuig.

I'm in a pretty unique financial situation right now so I think it'd be valuable to journal and document for others to witness the journey as well. I've been working on my business as a photographer and media marketer for about 9 years by now. Before then I was a semi professional League of Legends player for a bit. It's been ups and downs as my personality type is not very industrious(INTP) and struggles with work ethic and well running a business. I've been watching a lot of Alex Hormozi content lately and he explains roadblocks and bottlenecks in business so well that's its helped me make sense of my whole life and why my business has been mostly unsuccessful so far. I've made somewhere around $75,000 CAD with it over a few years which is enough to sustain me for periods of time and then I end up having to get a random minimum wage job to pay the bills for a while then quit when I think I have a cushion and the business is working and cycle repeats, like 5 times now. I do think that now I have gotten the hang of it and the new people that I'm working with will be a competent team that I can lead and shape towards a multi million dollar business over the next few years. Also I'm in a funny spot where I basically have no money currently literally basically $0 until I receive my next $500 client payment in a few days. Considering the credit card debt I have I'm definitely below $0 net worth so hopefully this is a fun journey to document. I have a Vlog series that I do as well but I'm finding a lot of pleasure in writing lately as it allows me to go deeper in my thoughts as opposed to being a bit stressed and nervous on video so both will be worth watching if you're into this sort of quest. I'm a nerd at heart, this is partly inspired by the road to commander series that happened back in the days where Call Of Duty Youtubers would document their journey from level 0 to level 70(rank commander) in Modern Warfare 2. Feel free to ask questions or comment if you have thoughts. I'm also gonna be doing this as an accountability challenge and aim to get a post up weekly, as part of what I've noticed is holding back my life is consistency! I also find cringe the anti materialism that spiritual circles seem to embrace, I believe it to be spiritually bypassing and an avoidance of learning to be a competent human being that offers tangible value consistently to other human begins so documenting this on a spiritual forum is important to me as well. I tend to be more aggressive in forum posts than I mean to but if I have to read another comment from someone on their high horse about how business and wealth are corrupt and not worth pursuing while the only reason that we are here on this forum is because Leo heavily prioritized business and marketing to free himself financially and ultimately emotionally to have the bandwith to dedicate his life to the pursuit of truth and the ascension of mankind. A pursuit only possible for a human that can sustain themselves financially without having to work for another. I believe that becoming rich is one of the most spiritual things you can do, reach the abundance the formlessless gives us ultimately but in material reality while building out our shared universe and eventually exploring the confines of the galaxy. If we're talking about life purpose I also believe I will own at least 3 planets in the future so here's my proof that it was not luck I planned it from the start boys and girls. First let's do $1M though I hear planets are expensive.

Do you have a source for that?

What I hear is that she mentioned it one time in patrick like I'm going crazy I'm gonna kill them! He characterized it as a thought voiced once and not a serious plan or something that made him concerned. I'm pretty shocked how quickly he remarried and moved on. I doubt that whatever blindspots and psychological issues he had that lead to this were solved. He was clearly not that close to Lindsay nor really has much empathy to not have seen this coming. I think in part of the case it came out that he liked to chill with the boys on the weekends instead of raising his kids.

What keeps you around on this forum then? You use it more as a place to vent?

Don't you see what you just wrote as victim mindset? Agency is built out of believing that your individual actions have an effect on the collective. I've found that my style of interacting on this forum has elevated the discourse in ways that I'm starting to notice. If we all sought to raise the bar further in ways that we find valuable then it would flourish perhaps infinitely

@Emerald Well said

Lmao that's wild, that's conviction. You don't believe in the idea of diversification and derisking with other asset classes and doing more like 50% crypto?

What percentage of your portfolio would you say is BTC over other asset classes?

Which traditions are we talking about? If this is towards Islam it's not so much traditions more so doctrine and laws that lead to imprisonment if not beatings if not followed right? Let's not forget how Iran came to the forefront of the news cycle over the past few years. Good ol morality police. If we're talking traditions like being nice to your neighbour then obviously that's a different issue.

Mental health is still not a well understood topic and the institutions around us fail people all the time for sure. This indeed could've been avoided if she was admitted into inpatient care and placed under observation for a few weeks. The US is currently cutting funding for this type of care though so unfortunately it's not an issue that will be solved in the next few years.

I agree. If you get cheated on you should examine what the deeper mechanism at play was and not just generalize that men or women are bad. Was your partner just a disloyal person? Did you stop meeting their wants and needs? Are they polyamorous or were repressing it? There are explanations for basically everything in life that can use us to predict the future more accurately.

It's one of the most beautiful industry on earth. Based on love and sex. It's not because something is difficult that it's not worth doing. I have this same dillema being a dating photographer but I've helped people lose their virginity and find confidence in themselves and that's a different and better feeling that selling cupcakes or working in solar power IMO.

Price action over what period of time? That's the danger of chasing pumps and timing the market vs having a fundamentally sound investing and personal finance strategy IMO.

It's hard to have objective discussions with anonymous users. That's why I post my instagram in my bio so you guys can see my life and we're talking human to human and not WizardKiller48 to NewKidontheBlock. I encourage you to do the same. I think a lot of people dislike social media because it's a global arena that shows your life and connects you to everyone else on earth. It's also why I use ruthless rhetoric to deconstruct peoples points so they can't hide in vague platitudes. Every guy pretends to be casanova and Mike Tyson. I'm not great at martial arts and don't workout but social dynamics and dating strategy I'm hard to beat.

Why do you think that technical analysis is more reliable than macroeconomics to predict the future price performance of Bitcoin? Wouldn't the price going up be more based on a lot of money being put into the asset over how it's performed a few years ago?

I would write a massive paragraph of your life and all your problems and the things going well and ask it to identify your bottleneck and flaws as a human being and to be ruthlessly honest and I promise you that you'll learn a few things about yourself that were hiding deep in your psyche lol I'm trying the Gary Vee technique of posting about all your flaws and shortcomings publicly to make yourself invulnerable. So far its working it feels half good and half bad. A lot of people on here don't answer questions honestly when asked. What are you scared of and who are you hiding from?

Thanks guys! I have found it tremendously helpful in identifying both my strengths and blindspots. The key is to use it to challenge yourself and falsify your positions not only to flatter you. It can also be used for game purposes lol, I've used it to ask it about texts I'm about to send to women and it's helped me see if I'm a bit uncalibrated or where I should be even more bold and I'm holding myself back. Also that's how I know a lot of people are projecting when we argue together on this forum. I ask Gemini often if I'm the one projecting or they are. Sometimes I am but I genuinely don't really care that much to be right and am just fascinated about solving all my problems and becoming superhuman whereas a lot of people vie for status and being right. I use my Instagram as my lightning rod of my status so all my discussions on this forum are based on genuine inquiry and good faith debate. I still have some ego and am more aggressive than I should be but I think that's because I'm in a proving myself stage of my life. In 15 years once I'm in my mid 40s and have accomplished most of what I want to I'll be nicer I promise. Now is the time for conquest of the enemy and the acquisition of their women!

Documenting your journey as opposed to pretending to be a worldclass authority straight from the bat usually solves that issue. I got that tip from Gary Vee.

Teaching helps you learn for sure. Start a youtube channel/instagram around it and post a piece of content this week! I'll watch and subscribe. Pro tip if you're interested in going down that route, put up some street interviews talking to girls about dating in your city in front of recognizable landmarks. You'll get a lot of organic views from non game related people that are just interested in seeing social media content filmed in their city. If you get a funny moment from a cute girl it can easily get 5-100K views. If you just film yourself in your bedroom talking about game it'll get much lower engagement especially when starting out and not having an established core audience. I've made that mistake before.

What were the main points you liked from this video? Just watched this one and found it very informative. It talks about why Booze is a key issue as it's very easy to remove booze from shelves and cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the US without affecting procurement deals and affecting canadian supply chains. Also covers some of the internet politics that are going on around it. For example Alberta and Saskatchewan seem reticent to follow Carney's instructions and have stocked back american booze already. Ontario hasn't and Doug Ford is playing a specific game since he has the most leverage with LCBO being one of the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world and his main priority is removing the auto tariffs that also affect the ontario aluminum/steel industries. It shows how we are using the limited power we have to inflict the most damage possible while being open to pivoting as soon as the american administration is willing to offer a fair deal. This gave me more faith in the negotiation tactics of Carney and his team.

😂 It's also the classic christian preacher and teleevangelists, materialism is bad, be careful not to be corrupted by money. Please send me your donations so I can get a private jet to and I will take the brave role of shouldering materialism on your behalf.

The first step is awareness, good on you to have made this post. Most humans have the victim mindset seeping out of them without admitting it to themselves. I see it on this forum and in life as a whole. Second step is to level up and fix the issue. The abundance mindset starts out as an idea that you try to manifest while telling yourself IM A HIGH VALUE MAN WOMEN LOVE ME in the mirror while no woman goes out with you but it takes hold once you actually go out with attractive women and they enjoy your company and fuck you so I mean your brain has not much to doubt at that point. Are you on dating apps or solely doing cold approach? I think dating apps are a great foundation for abundance in dating because with a good profile you can go on a date each week with about 10 mins of effort. It's probably not gonna be with your dream women so stuff like social circle and status are important to attract the hotter women but it's a good start. Cold approach is a good baseline because you can get some feedback today as soon as you approach a girl but it's not really an efficient mechanism to truly unlock abundance in dating and sex. Also victim mindset, rejection and self-sabotage have a weird masochistic characteristic to it, it's almost like getting hooked on the dark side of the force in star wars. Levelling up and building a dream life has a long term feedback loop and a lot of friction, it's not that fun until you actually build an awesome life years down the line. Getting rejected and telling yourself im so bad oh no women hate me is like those femdom dudes that love to get humiliated. Be careful with unless it's truly your fetish.

Our love might not survive another day, let's do it tonight. We must unite against the evil empire. Find all your female friends, only the power of the harem can defeat the Spetsnaz. War and romance is a story as old as time.

I played runescape a bit in school, I didn't get into it I'm french so I ended up falling for another popular mmorpg at the time Dofus. I like the job system from runescape, I like systems so the different jobs going from 1-99 seems cool to me. Can you elaborate on what you like about the game and why you still play it all these years later? Also why do you think the MMORPG and gaming industry as a whole is stagnating? Seems a lot of the biggest mainstream games are just reverting their game back to 10 years ago and people are liking that more than their new versions. Happened to World of Warcraft, Runescape, Dofus and League of Legends now also released a classic mode that is just the 2014 game. @Leo Gura Chris Roberts the founder of star citizen is apparently a black sheep in the game dev industry and is known for being a narcissistic micromanager that's clearly destroying the actual business efficiency of Cloud Imperium Games to produce actual value for their customers.
