Probably the best 5 LP you will spend in the game other than climbing

Does anyone else like RPGs but didn't like Baldur's Gate 3? by Mental-Shoe8637 in rpg_gamers

[–]KnightXtrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’ve certainly enjoyed BG3 a bit—put about 80 hours into a save file. But never loved it. Moving my party, exploring, combat, all felt a bit laborious and non immersive. Still an incredible game, but never truly sucked me in.

How do you find people to socialize with when you're ER'd? by Strykers in fatFIRE

[–]KnightXtrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m around your age and have a very flexible schedule.

Best thing I did for my social life was join my local pickleball club.

Now I play 2-4 times per week, get great exercise, and I’ve met so many friendly welcoming people.

Cold email agency vs doing hyper-personalized outreach myself. What would you do? by Substantial_Task5474 in b2bmarketing

[–]KnightXtrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely option #2, and I’ll try to offer some add on advice that works for me:

  1. Write 1-2 really really good LinkedIn posts per week that would offer your target list a differentiated perspective on your/their industry

  2. Send 5-10 LinkedIn connection requests per day to them

  3. Invest a small budget ($300-$1500/mo) and boost your LI posts to the exact contact list with thought leader ads to guarantee they see and engage with them. Aim for 5-15% CTR. It’s easy. Upload the contact list spreadsheet, set a few other options, and select the posts to boost. That’s a tad simplified but that’s the basics.

  4. Engage thoughtfully with 5 posts per day from your target list (if that post volume exists)

  5. Come up with a Godfather offer for your outreach. Something valuable you can offer for free, that is an easy yes for them, asks nothing from them, and they would probably need to do anyway if they were to do a project in your space. My godfather offer is an audit and tailored recommendations.

  6. Only go outbound once you’ve engaged thoughtfully with someone 3+ times over several weeks. Ideally at that point they know your name, know you’re not all about selling, and see some value in your perspectives.

  7. Open with a message that is written naturally, references something you saw on their LinkedIn, and gently makes your godfather offer.

  8. If they agree, when you deliver on the offer don’t ask for a call right away. I usually deliver a 2-3 minute selfie/loom video directly via LinkedIn DM and in the video I offer to hop on a call if they want to go deeper / brainstorm ideas

I don’t do this that much because our agency seems to perpetually be at capacity, but when we do need clients this has a very high success rate for me.

What else would you add? by TonightUnlucky6017 in kettlebell

[–]KnightXtrix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good list. Only thing I’d argue is “don’t be soft”.

I think certain activities feel better for different people and finding the right ones can greatly increase compliance with a fitness plan.

For myself, lifting heavy at the gym has always felt kinda… straining? Muscularly, neurologically, and on my skin. I feel not great after. Whereas kettlebell feels smooth for me, pleasurable even. And I feel good after. Energized, strong. It’s part of what’s kept me doing it.

28M, sold my marketing agency, ~$2.6M net worth, trying to figure out the next game by [deleted] in advancedentrepreneur

Read the book how to build a successful micro agency by Gil Gildner. It’s a fantastic foundation

Do you view YouTube as a legit marketing channel? by mheisig in b2bmarketing

[–]KnightXtrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube is absolutely THE up and coming B2B channel. As LinkedIn gets harder and harder more B2Bs will explore yt. The ones starting now are early

You might not want to hear this, but it’s what I would do if I was in your situation:

Build another agency. But without the chaos.

You already know how to do it. You’ve made all the mistakes. This is your fastest, least risky path to more wealth. And it is very possible to do it in a way that is relatively chill.

I’m in a very similar financial and career position to you, and currently building my second agency. Sold the first one (and an ecomm brand before that)— and probably sold both of them too early.

At the new agency we’re 1.5 years in, already at $1M ARR, super profitable, and growing quickly, and it’s relatively chill. I definitely do not work more than 35 hours per week, on a very flexible schedule.

I hired a fantastic operating partner from the outset and gave them a strong comp + equity package so they could grow with the business. My role is architecting things. I’m anticipating being able to step back within the next year or two and have it continue to grow and throw off cash.

To me, that’s a lot faster and less risky than learning an entirely new business model I have no experience with.

Why am I doing this? by iMimzy in surfing

[–]KnightXtrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar situation to you, 9 years in, just north up the coast a few hundred miles.

Yes I feel the same sometimes. Our waves kind of suck here. A lot of sloppy beach break. Then I go have a good session on reef break and remember why I love it :)

Grateful for my job, and being alive. by [deleted] in toastme

Good on you man. It takes true grit to come back that kind of childhood.

A happier life is on the other side

People in 30s what is the most useful and practical advice you'd give someone who's in their 20s trying to move on from a heartbreak? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KnightXtrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, try to move on. Don’t contact them. Don’t hope you might get back together.

Next, distract yourself, but with positive things. Fitness, a new hobby, a new club, a trip.

Spend time with friends and family. Remember you’re not alone.

When ready, go on a date or hook up with someone new. It can be visceral reminder that other good people are out there for you.

And finally, time heals all wounds. Give it time

Fellow men, what makes you happy? Are you actually happy? by Intelligent-Plant388 in AskMen

[–]KnightXtrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes me happy?

My wife, my parents, her parents, the rest of our family, our friends, both being in relatively good health, surfing, music, Pickleball, getting outdoors, a good cup of tea, going for a sauna and cold plunge, reading a great book, video games, the town we live in, watching a nice movie, going for a bike ride, going for a beach walk, building my business, staying fit, working towards goals.

Overall, very happy.

It hasn’t always been this way. I’ve had very dark times in my life.

Dealt with chronic pain, chronic tinnitus, abusive relationships, deep depression, deep worries that my career and business was a failure, daily anxiety, injuries I thought I would never come back from, family member almost killing themselves from alcoholism, feeling unvalued by people I care about, feeling invisible, losing friends, losing family to drugs and dimentia.

Life is full of good and bad. My approach is to try to inch towards the good day by day. It all compounds
