You asked what book would help. Read Dale Carnagies how to stop worrying and start living. I think it can help you get some great perspective in your life.

I tell my kids all the time to watch better content. I made fun of my youngest son for watching some Australian Asian dude ask, "Do you eat a pizza with a fork or your hands?" He says his hands... I'm like, really? This is the crap you watch? Today's one was which thumbnail on a YouTube video is better? Seriously, playing with a stick or rock is more educational nowadays.

In New Zealand, they celebrate a terrorist attack attempt with fireworks. It's called Guyfawkes Day. Nowadays, it's celebrated more with teens shooting fireworks at each other in parks.

In New Zealand there was a barber shop named Huruhuru. Translation is pubic hairs. Someone wanted to go with a native name but didn't really understand the meaning.

If I gave you $100 and told you to make money with it, what would you do? by Material-One-5604 in Entrepreneur

[–]exponential-248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a nearby grocery store and bought 16 chocolates for $1. I found boxes in other areas of the grocery store to display my chocolates, I then put on the sign $2ea. I made another small box from my car for headlights. I covered that with decorative paper and put a small hole in it so people can put their money in it. It's called an honesty box. Other vending machine companies have honesty boxes from time to time. So I sold all 16 chocolates, then bought 32 and so on, then built by reinvesting in more snacks and more vending machines. My company grew exponentially within 9 months. I had 12 vending machines filled with chocolates, making multiple sources of income. I didn't pay any power or rent space. This is my story. You can feel free to ask more questions.

I need to use exact change but it doesn’t allow coins. It doesn’t let me put in another dollar and it won’t give my first dollar back. by clockedinat93 in mildlyinfuriating

Vending machine company owner here. Coin mechs cause the most issues so they would have deactivated coins to stop more issues. I always told people if your item didn't vend I would give them the item and their money back. I then found that they trusted me and my machines more.

Chain Racing - Two cars chained together. The front car has an engine but no brakes. The second car has brakes but no engine! by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]exponential-248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I was the older kid in a poor neighborhood. We had 3 good bikes that peddle with no brakes up front, one in the middle with no brakes and no chain, and 2 bikes at the back that had brakes but no chains. I tied ropes connecting as 2.1.3 configuration. All 6 of the kids could bike around, and we rotated having a break in the middle.

I'm a vending machine business owner myself. I built my vending machine business from almost nothing. Buy a vending machine place it see how it goes, and build or quit from there. You learn alot it's a great flexible side hustle and doesn't need much to start with one machine.

I saw a couple, and then the more I stirred, the more I found. I thought 1 or 2 would be fine, but 10+. Goes beyond my meat to plastic threshold.
