Not a course, but an excellent book would be only the paranoid survive. It's about the former ceo of intel and how he navigated them though big changes in the business. Changing their business model from memory to microprocessors, to become the biggest microprocessor producer in the world.

I've done a bit of online in the past. Worth trying a few different types of business. Online is nice though depending on what you sell. Can be pretty hands off once you put in the initial work.

@MIA.RIVEL Thanks for your reply. Things have already dramatically improved. She never spoke to me positively and would make me hurt daily. I focused so much on her growth I stunted my own in that time. She's a good person, but just not the one for me. I actually ended up finding a car to fix up. And I haven't really been excited to work on a car in over a year. I have the same car already, but the car is pretty run down mechanically. Ironically a lot of it was from taking her to work and back for the first segment of our relationship, then just being old and being driven. I had actually gave her an identical car that was a great deal. $500 for a $1500-$2000 car. And they're incredibly hard to find around here. She had pressured me into giving it to her for what I paid at the time, then just used my daily car and wore it down and pretty much down right refused to let me used it because the $500 car wasn't nice enough. I wanted it to restore my car from the one I had bought. They're 30+ years old, so if I buy anything aftermarket it's expensive, or just isn't made anymore. You can spend $500 on just a couple fenders. Anyway the new one was $500 and is literally like a perfect match for what I need. Motor almost completely rebuilt, new clutch, and was set up for a conversion kit I have for it. The guy ran out of money on the project and just towed it to me. I already own everything I need to make it run right again and almost have it on the road. I absolutely love these little cars and enjoy learning about it. I've been trying to get even just a decent one for two years. I've seen probably under 5 of these in person driving around in the last 2 years, so to get another one with all of this done is not an easy task especially at the price. I'll be able to sell the extras he gave me with the car and get all of my money back. Then profit on anything left after I take both cars and make one great one with a ton of extras running parts, so won't really have to spend anything on repairs for a long time. Life works in weird ways. I kept trying to get something to drive and flip for some quick money and better mpg. And everything I looked at (that looked like a good deal) ended up just being junk. Who knows though, I'm sure this one needs some extra attention since it is old, but I know how to do most of the work on this type of car. Edit: Oh and this is what would be needed for me to travel. My other vehicle would cost a fortune to travel in.

I love it while laying down. Sometimes I will drift into a vivid dream while doing so. -

@Leo Gura Defiantly have been wanting to buy. Your content has helped me way more than $250 in value as it is. I have watched well over 50 of your videos now. I've been thinking of tuning the first business into a franchise. But the only draw back to that is a lot of what it is my energy that turns it into something positive. I have over 400 personal contacts I have meet with locally, so starting up something new isn't very hard for me where I live. Obviously the number drops down for how well I know them on a personal level. For me the first business I just want to see it though. The business is like my baby, so I would finish it regardless of how much money I have. But I would want to build something that makes society better and it can on some levels, but not sure if that is the impact I want. But it is a very fulling feeling when someone tells me how much I helped them and in some ways saved their life. I would also build generations of wealth through real estate regardless. But that becomes pretty hands off at a certain level of money being produced. I think I want to become a master of selling for sure. And I do have a good chunk of experience there. But just selling stuff alone can't be a life purpose lol. I want my product to be something visionary. @Thelanjaron I appreciate the articles! You're right and that is why I came here because I am realizing that I am just running in circles at this point. -
I am looking for what a want to master. I have a business I have been developing for about 5 years and it isn't cheap (to me at least). I think I can develop this into something that can get close to stage yellow. I do thoroughly enjoy doing this. But my only passion that comes though is meeting people and selling. I find myself helping people with their life situations and giving them advice, when I am just selling them a product. Second business is just reselling stuff. Not really much it seems that I do any the stuff mentioned above. But a lot of it is primarily as a back up and to gain funding for business ventures. I have tried to think of ways to make it a higher stage and be more meaningful, but not too sure. I really just enjoy buying the items and getting the deal, but not anything else really associated with it. Sometimes people give me free stuff if I buy from them and I thought about giving stuff away and doing things like that to help people with it. I've been thinking about learning about reselling real estate and getting a licence. Pretty cost efficient industry to get into where I live and work on my selling skills and get more funding. and possibly develop that into a business. But not sure if I would be passionate about that or not really. I do want to learn it regardless because I want to invest into real estate, so I don't think any efforts would go in vain. I have a fair chunk of time on my hands. Not much living expenses at the moment, so things are stable. But I feel like if I just had more fire for something it would push me harder everyday. Money isn't really doing that. To be fair I would not mind living on blank property with a trailer and living expenses would not be that high to do that. But I do want to have income coming in that is good. A lot of what seems to happen is I get really excited about a business venture and it fades off. (besides the first really.) I have even thought about writing books using my life time to show my growth and how others can move forward in life. Usually what happens is I just put focus in on one thing at a time and just think about that and do that until I move to the next. I had a little car detailing business that was fairly successful, people still ask me to do it for them and I don't. I have been doing business stuff for probably about 6 years total. Did a little college on the topic and tried quite a few different skills while there. (Never got a degree and don't ever want one anymore honestly.) Any good books to recommend? I want to try and just find something I know would be great to master. Also, yes I have read mastery and will reread it again. I've mostly just been focusing on self help type stuff and that is great, but I am not sure what direction I want to go in. I have put mental health, building good habits, and fitness at the top for awhile and will continue to do so.

I've seen a incredible research results in long duration fasting. However they're medically supervised. Not looked highly upon by modern day medicine unfortunately. When you come out of the fast try and aim towards eating healthier foods. It can take many months to acquire a taste for them, but fasting can speed that up. I typically do a 12-14 hour fast regularly. Eating two meals and trying to cut myself off by 6pm and eat by around noon or so. Today I ate after 3pm for the first meal and really don't feel all that hungry. Also, just finished a 5 mile walk.

@MisterMan Well, it could be a good way to do some exercise. So hopefully your travel needed isn't extreme. And you're right I have had many times in life where something "Bad" happened and it turned into something much better down the road. Work on the positive mind set. Something is only "BAD" if you define it as such. You have the power to determine what you want to be bad. If you can keep the business going, then do it. A lot of the time being in a struggle is going to put you in a mode to get shit done. And if it didn't happen, then everything would just keep going at the same pace. I just ended my relationship the other day and had some mild depression lurking from it. I got sick the day after and am still dragging on into being sick for about a week now. I am still trying to bust my ass into gear to start making changes in my life. I have to build a drive to keep moving. Even though I ended that it was very tough. But I knew my partner was only going to slow my growth and she had some abusive qualities. The same thing can happen in any relationship or business. My experiences with them were only small scale. But I've tried out quite a few businesses at this point. I am meaning by you wanting to teach others how to get over hurdles for sports that you have to leap over similar hurdles life. For example maybe I will be able to help you get over this hurdle, but maybe not. Something else or someone might change that. Even you can change that and get over the hurdle yourself.

@Serotoninluv I'll plan accordingly and see what I can find for the route. Excited to find you guys on the forum here. Haven't used a forum in about 5 years, but this looks very promising. -
Average Investor posted a topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I was thinking about going for a 1000 mile drive trip and doing a little bit of item sourcing with it. Sleeping in the car mostly and trying to contemplate. Also, I had seen a meditation retreat center near me. Not sure what to really expect from something like that if I went. What should I look for in the facility information? I haven't done any psychedelics either, so maybe that would be a good start? Looking for a good spiritual journey to take and help me get into a more motivated and fulfilling lifestyle. -
Average Investor replied to Average Investor's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Serotoninluv Really good advice for the center. I will be sure to look more into them. Was shocked to see a few withing 20 miles or so from me. And definitely not looking to do psychedelics at the center haha. I try and go for a 5-6 mile walk 5 times a week and it is a decent nature scene and has a few cool animals to spot at it. But it would be cool to try something more out of my comfort zone. I was going to be hunting for items as part of the trip to see if I could pay for the trip just from finding stuff to resell. But will definitely try and plan it as best as I can to get the best trip possible! Would definitely stay somewhere a few times to shower and what not lol. And appreciate the tip on looking for people. Having a struggle finding people to resonate with locally due to a lack of those types of things it seems like. -

@Nahm Cool, I appreciate the advice! -
Average Investor replied to Average Investor's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Nahm I will do about 1-2 hours daily, but a lot of the time I only get about 20-30 minutes of solid grounded meditation it seems like if that makes sense. I've been building the habit for quite a few months now. Maybe up to 6? Recently tried a guided meditation and had a ton of success with that. I was thinking about trying mushrooms for the first time, but with lsd I know how to test it and everything, so not sure what route to go on those. Also, likely going to try it with friends the first time, then maybe get a hotel room the second time? -
I have read a few of the samples and was going to buy the rest of the samples soon. Just based off of those it seems well worth the time.

Haven't had any in 6 months. Don't seem to miss it at all. -
I'd dump them in some groups around the topic. Doubtful most using that care about this type of stuff.

@LordFall To be fair, at the beginning of my last relationship we had sex 3 times a day pretty often and it started to dwindle on interest for both of us over the years. Just take it slow and maybe even try to let her initiate.
-
Try to get her aroused opposed to just asking for sex. Or start a conversation about sex without directly asking for it.

@MisterMan A lot of that stuff you're dealing with is the same type of hurdles you want to help others get over. That's cool with the lofi stuff! I have been listening to a lot of that type stuff lately. In my experience with business partners it has never gone well. Typically I only went to them because they had something I needed and not because I wanted that person per say. But even if so people become very greedy, even myself in the situations. People want to look after them self first, so consider an employee over a partner in my experience. Out of about 5 business partners I have had I have one that became a friend and we have been for 5 years. And still never meet him in person. I think you will find a lot of your issues are stemming from that opiate addiction. You could try to use kratom as an alternative and get yourselfaway, but keep in mind that kratom is an opiate too. Thing with kratom is though that you will get sick trying to get high typically, so it can keep you a bit away in that sense and does have withdraw effects. The grass is always greener and you have to get through the bullshit to get to the good stuff in life from my experience. Take the ride and just try to point the car in the right direction

@Hello from Russia @Hello from Russia @Average Investor I left her.

As far as the cameras you can represent yourself in court and make them prove you were actually operating the vehicle. A lot of those cameras really don't hold much in the court room. I see you already set up a payment plan, so probably not a whole lot you can do on that now. As for car work if the car is not worth that much don't bother. Use all of your local buy and sell apps until you find a $500 running and driving camry or civic. Get the licence back, or buy a bike until then. Try some lions mane mushroom to help with some of the memory. I notice with myself I tend to have extremely poor memory when I am anxious, or depressed. Work on those before you worry about the anger in my opinion. Work on changing the mindset to positive. Get some exercise and try to eat better. Just that alone should help your memory and concentration. I feel for you as life hands out some bad cards, but the only way to get past it is too keep trying. And try a new route. Doing the same thing usually gives you the same result.
