I am not sure how others here will feel about this, but if you cannot take a business to $5000 per month in almost any market, then it might be more of a "you" problem (I don't have the right skills, I don't know how to sell, etc) than a "I chose the wrong business" problem...

Maybe the reason why business #5 or #6 is more successful is not that they changed businesses, but that they finally developed the skills necessary to make it work through their failures. If they went back to business #1, they could probably make it work this time.

Takeaway? Chose one thing and develop the skills (sales, etc) instead of jumping to the next thing.

If we are talking about $500K per month, then that is a different story...

I can handle the downvotes...

"We certainly need to give ownership of the company to the other part, but we want to keep the decision-making of the product mostly to ourselves but with the flexibility to align with the requirements of the clients that they're bringing."

Yea, this rarely, if ever, happens long term.

"but to say that it's impossible that hormonal imbalance or other biological causes are not possible is just plain stupid."

But, things like hormonal imbalances and biological causes would effect the "calories out" portion of the formula, no?

I think he is referring to publicly traded markets, like stock exchanges.

The less liquidity, the more inefficiency there is...the environment being an extreme example...

With regards to #2...

Maybe I am not smart enough for this, but can someone define "General Intelligence" for me?

"Practically speaking, the best way to become smarter is to learn a lot of stuff and cultivate a lot of skills. Since knowledge and skills are more specific than general intelligence, that may be less than we desire, but it still matters a lot."

Would "learning a lot of stuff and cultivating a lot of skills" not boost your general intelligence?

But is it just knowledge or is it the human connection that makes a difference?

Students have access to all the information they need on Calculus through Google and other resources, for instance, but actually sitting down with a living, breathing human being and having them help you through your troubles...to me, that cannot be replaced with an AI.

If access to knowledge was all we needed to acquire and maintain intelligence in a specific area, we would all be a lot smarter...

I can't remember the last time there was something actually worth listening to on "live audio".

At the same time, not knowing in advance what the content will be is sort of a killer for me...on-demand has a bit of social proof through reviews and comments, whereas live audio is sort of a crap shoot.
