>thinks people will share advice on good money making schemes
never again bro, I told a friend and he one upped me
I can give life advice on everything else except money making

don’t be afraid to ask questions

>>33280341
there's like no chance we would randomly even work together. Also, if you share good stuff then other anons are more likely to share something, so it's a positive ROI for you

If someone asks you to tell them your secret, it's because they want to use it against you.

Never take bad deals. Say no to any offer that doesn't seem actually good to you. Also, Never take a deal where you're promised something that *maybe* will happen in the future, where that thing would have to actually happen to make it worth it. Chances are, it won't. The deal has to be good immediately.

Success is all about social relationships (for normies), or mastering rare, valuable skills (for autists)

>>33280741
sadly I'm closer to the autist, but never really mastered any valuable skills. The closest I have is being able to swing trade crypto while working my tech job from home

Find a job you like and you will never work a day in your life.

Not absolutely true - everyone has bad days - but at least 90% true.

Learn to talk to people , be bold but not over the top, just when its needed , learn to talk, learn to talk and entertain , Learn to talk to man, learn to talk to girls (young corporate 22-25yo) and older women (+40) <- these groups give you the most benefits .

Literally doesnt matter what you know, or how much you like acting like "akshually...." if you fumble at speaking. Thats it

Not really career advice, but financial. Almost always buy second hand, and every purchase should be made for you, not to impress others. Look up Dave Ramsey.

Pay off all debts FIRST, go to goodwill for your clothes and some appliances (cheaper). eBay is your new best friend. Cut down on subscriptions and use your student discounts.

Forgot this, but always use your debit card. Only use your credit card for big purchases you can't recuperate in an instant (ex. You call AAA and they charge your $220 for a battery replacement that minute). Or buying a house

Have complete creative control over one's work.

Be visible. Make sure people know when you achieve something great.

Everything here is bullshit YouTube tier "advice" that has no applicable usefulness.
1, find something you even remotely can do it for 5 years without suicide. All that find your passion and you will never work, yeah that thing doesn't have any lasting results. Passion comes from being good at something. So find a field that you can work in for 5 years, and make it so that the prospect of working there for 50 years isn't suicide fuel.
2 if you want and have the sheer energy and stamina and attention span for a "le side hustle" do it within your field that you already worked in for the past 5 years. Again, all that I work in a grocery store and am a tattoo artist as a side hustle doesn't work like that in the real life. Why isn't your "side hustle" your main job? Why is your main job so shitty that you need a side hustle anyway?
>It's a le hobbee
A hobby isn't a side hustle, the moment you catch yourself making money off your hobby is the moment it lost its appeal as a hobby and you'll begin to minmaxx it
Also you don't have a mental capacity of having a real lucrative side hustle ad anything other than the field that you already work in. Unless your "field" is like cart pushing at the supermarket or something low Hz like that

These are all true.
My one: At work, ignore people talking bullshit, and go on to be the THE expert for ONE thing.
And sometimes it helps to tell youself „I fucked my lady twice this weekend, and that idiot of a boss not because he worked all the time“. Then walk into the meeting room and smile.

Under sell and over achieve. If something is going to take me a day, I say it will take me two days. Then when I finish in a day, my boss will feel like I made good time and be appreciative of my efforts. If something goes wrong or a problem I didn't account for comes up, I have a whole nother day to fix it and make it right.
