Niall Doherty 1 The older I get, the less public I want to be. Not sure why. I used to crave attention and recognition, worked hard for it. Now I’d rather stay under the radar. Give me a $100k business where I can be low key, rather than a $200k business with my face all over it. …
1 Morgan Housel with a big truth: Your personal experiences make up maybe 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world but maybe 80% of how you think the world works… We’re all biased to our own personal history. 2 Being grumpy is stupid. There’s no benefit to it. The person you’re grumpy with comes away thinking …
1 Two years ago today a friend jumped on a call with me and sparked the idea of eBiz Facts. So far this year the business has pulled in more than $110k in revenue with a very healthy profit margin. And the best part is that I’m just scratching the surface. (Hopefully.) 2 Message from …
1 Friend of mine used to make $20k a month doing some grey-hat SEO stuff online. Could have kept going, but didn’t feel good about it, so he quit. I respect that. $20k/month is great, but only if your conscience is clear with how you’re earning it. 2 Mark Manson wrote recently about the Law …
1 Shortlisted some writers and gave them a trial job, pointed to this profile and asked them to do the same thing for another YouTuber. Two did great, clearly read the existing content and matched the writing style. The other three couldn’t get out of their own way. 2 The first group of people, when you …
1 Fake gurus don’t respond to criticism by taking a hard look at their business and cleaning up their act. No, the way they see it, the problem isn’t their bullshit teachings; the problem is people calling them out on their bullshit teachings. So they try to silence those people. 2 Talking with a friend …
1 Hunting for a new apartment online. To rent, not buy. Though buying might actually be easier, given how picky we are. I’ve seen so many apartments with great potential, ruined by crappy furniture, awful wallpaper, ugly AF interior design. Upsets me more than it should. 2 Went and viewed five apartments today. First was …
1 This framework I’ve been building is growing more complex by the day. Now up to 19 types and 5 levels. Need to be careful. Too much complexity and it won’t be useful. The goal of this is to give people the big picture, not every little detail. 2 Someone told me today that eBiz …
1 Today was Monday, but we made it our Sunday. Took the rental car up into the hills again, through the national park. Almost had the place to ourselves, except for the mosquitoes. Ended it with a sunset overlooking an old city on UNESCO’s list. 2 Got pulled over. The cop’s English is a million …
1 It bugs me when people make flawed arguments or false claims. I have an urge to jump in and set the record straight when I see that kind of thing. But it’s a slippery slope. Often I just end up arguing with fools, which makes me no wiser than them. 2 Slowing things down …
