Hello from Russia

But that's exactly what good entrepreneurs do. They pay themselves like 1-5% of their revenue and the rest they invest in their creations further. The $2000 is bullshit. You need money to build a good infrastructure for your own well-being and creativity. You can scrape by at $2000 of course, but why would you do that if you can invest like $20k per month in yourself and buy yourself the best food, best nicities, best home facilities, good home location so it further feeds up in your creativity and you become even more creative? And sometimes it's not even about this basic stuff, but about some ART for $1m that will be inspiring the heck out of you to be even more creative and innovative. Would that be a bad investment? Rich people have more access to this stuff and they generally are doing a good job utilizing it Try to really look from the rich guy's point of view. There are some good channels/books/biographies available nowadays that help you to see behind of scenes what goes into billionaires guy mind and how he structure he lives. I'd really recommend you to study these and then judge. And don't just watch famous "celebrity"-businessmen that are trending on youtube like Elon Musk. Go study those that no one knows the fuck about them, yet they have $100m-1b-10b+ net worth. Most of these guys don't clown around on youtube and you won't find them there easily

Ehhh, dude, you you demonize money & money holders too much Unless you're highly unethical you won't really make it far in business without providing a lot of value to people. And when you do - you contribute to society directly and kinda deserve your money, really. Now you can create even more shit with it, which usually means - more value to people

That's so 100% true. I found for me even millions of $ is not enough, need more, way more!! And I was always finding these antimaterial people who say you only need like 50k/y or 100k/y and then DON"T MAKE ANY MONEY, BRO, IT WON"T YOU MAKE HAPPY!! highly deluded

It is a huge trap thinking that you have to revolutionize the market to be successful in business. You do not. You can be very successful as a 1v1 coach and then transition into group coaching/programms/apps/whatever you want to do really to have more scale and leverage.

Ehh, the most frustrating part about redpill/bluepill/shitpill/etc is that they steal a great metaphor for enlightenment/other important breakthroughs

Yes, it interconnects very closely with strategic thinking and strategy as a discipline. Think of it as mastering strategy. You probably won't need to spend 10-20k hours 24/7 mastering just that, but it is for sure worth putting in a lot of resources in learning/studying/contemplating about. Using it combined with contemplation yielsd very good results P. S. These are actually my core/signature strengths and zone of genius (systems thinking+strategy+contemplation as a stack) and I treat them as such

Deepak Chopra's getting featured on news and talks about the benefits of meditation during Covid. I Love how he is so nicely contrasted here with Stage Orange media/normies (in terms of feel) and how he is actually doing some Spiral Wizardry here by speaking all scientific about meditation, catering to the orange audience while we all here know that this guy clearly knows his shit on a much deeper level

Well, we definietely have 10% or so GREEN now. Does it make your grandparents any less rigid?

100%

@Modiron Why do you think so?

@Shunyata So you say acting for a high end movie is less difficult than mopping floors?

Do you do your business/work for 1-2 hours only/day? Lol

Yeah, for some reason if you upgrade your style and do what Leo said in earlier post it just works as a switch. Everything becomes like 500% more effortless. And it works both externally, as people like you more, and internally, as it gets you more inner confidence and people like you more as a result of that Sometimes I think how BS it is that dressing good works that well. But whether it is bs or not, it truly does work. And especially well if you combine it with a top notch inner game (dressing well mentally, so to speak) - then you're just God of any venue you enter I think that high-end inner game would beat the crap out of clothing if we'd make them 1v1 each other, though. But if you're not at a level of consciousness of Jesus yet, good clothing can help you big time, that's for sure

Super true

@martins name What about 7th chakra?

@Striving for more You could also just move the fuck out right now for that environment change (withing your country) and just hardcorely work on your business stuff. You succeed - you can move to Spain in 6 months with money and while having a remote biz

Yeah, the mainstream perspective on this stuff is such bullshit. I've been rewatching Harry Potter the other day and damn, the way he is getting portrayed in the movie is basically as INCEL, lol. It just feels so incompatible with the rest of the narrative how he is being portraited as this brave guy with a strong personality while at the same time he's being helpless before girls and prefers to cry himself out in his bedroom (????) rather than approach and nail that girl to the wall so to speak But I get it, they wanted to create this high school feel art-direction wise to appeal to the audience and I think they succeeded very well in it. There are tons of videos on youtube now with millions on views on how Harry ackwardly "firstkissing" everybody with a ton of comments from teenagers from all over the world. They did an amazing job, really

Shhh, it's never about skills themselves but how you use them. Right now I plan to offer spiritual retreats help with their marketing/branding as my main business offer. Would you consider it low consciousness? And you can't really do much in life without Sales & Marketing, it is like the air of achieving anything in the real world. Not sure why you have to demonize them, even monasteries/ashrams have to do sales/marketing to survive.

@Leo Gura Do you think there is a chance that big corps (FAANG companies and so worth) can work for anyone serious at all? Life-purpose wise

@Joel3102 It seems like you've picked up these beliefs from poor people. Cash is the most valuable asset of all because it's the most liquid. That's why rich people who know what they are doing (Which a lot of them are) hold on big amounts of cash and don't just stupidly invest 60-80% of their networth into some good sounding bullshit, like most people people do

I can guess pretty accurately just by looking at their body language. All stages have its own bodylanguage you can read off. The way they speak, they way the carry themselves in their bodies, they way they "feel", how they use/express their emotions. You do it through intuition and feeling into the person, not by merely analyzing his variables

After running my commonplace book in Onenote for 3 years I switched to Obsidian, way more robust and flexible, yet requires learning some technical knowledge about Markdown format and a few other things

@ShardMare 1-1.5 years. But I had huge distractions in my life and I was also starting with almost 0 knowledge in my respective domain (Which was the design). So I had to learn both business and design skills from 0. I believe without real world distractions and doing it full time you can have good success in as early as in 1-6 months (depending on what you already have). Especially if you buy some good business course (the one that would cost around ~$1-2k) and follow through on it. I personally didn't have any course in the beginning because I was broke and living in Russia (Dollar to Ruble ratio kinda sucks if you earn Rubles), but a good quality business course is totally worth your money if you're a beginner

Of course visualization is a super powerful tool. I'm not sure it is good for enlightenment work, however (maybe for hyping up the best state of mind for meditation? Idk), but for other purposes almost nothing beats visualization skill in terms of power. It is where meditation as a discipline becomes "practical" and has what hugely beneficial uses in your daily life. Just explore what you can do and start practices. Taste for yourself how powerful all this is, it just makes every aspects of your life blossom when you apply it
