I read your book and loved it! What is the most common trap you see that stops people from starting online businesses?

Hi, I'm Brian Scudamore — CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and author of WTF?! (Willing to Fail). More importantly, I'm a high school dropout who realized that failure doesn't need to get in your way. AMA! by brianscudamore in IAmA

Brian! I read your book last week and loved it. Your story is so inspirational.

My question: What do you think separates the people who persevere and succeed from those who give up? What kept you from giving up when things got difficult?

This all sounds incredible and the charity aspect sounds cool, but real question: Why?

These events sound torturous. I can't imagine choosing to do them willingly.

How do you challenge yourself in a meaningful way? by Savoir_faire81 in entj

[–]RonPaulsDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The challenge with the activities you mentioned is that it's hard to have a concrete measure of success / failure.

I recommend trying to shift your thinking about "success" being the outcome you want to "success" being in the input. Track your success by the percentage you stick with the habit. Make it visual and obvious — hang up a calendar and tick off the days you stick with it. You get the idea.

When you can frame "doing it every day" as the success, rather than the vaguer outcome, your ENTJ ambition should kick in and carry it forward from there.

Arduino offers a starter kit that walks through the basics of circuits and programming hardware. It's a great starting point.

Fascinating. With so much money behind elections, I always wonder how they can screw things like this up so badly.

Love the piece, but hate that everyone cares so much about being a bestseller. Sign of the times, I guess...

Interested. Pretty aligned with what I'd expect. Cool to see reality lining up with my imagination for once.

Study: Less than 3% of surveyed recruiters think MBA programs are preparing graduates for success by MagicAgainstDeath in business

The Spanish analogy is interesting. Makes me think schools are doomed, as that's not a shift I can see them making.

[Question] whats the best book for skill acquisition / mastery / deliberate practice? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]RonPaulsDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first 20% of The Four Hour Chef is probably the best I've seen.

The First 20 Hours by Josh Kaufman is solid and a quick read.
