Stand a project up, running on autopilot, which will make a minimum of $5k/month profit, 100% on my own without the need for any major expense other than time/effort plus simple and cost effective infrastructure.

#45Ugh, regardless of what we say we wish to do on this post, what I'm sure many of us lack is external motivation to do it. One app to help solve that is called Spar, developed by a friend of a friend ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/spar!-get-better-at-stuff/id... ). You set a goal with your friends, e.g. read a chapter every day, and put 20$ or so in the "pot". Whoever does the best at meeting the goal, gets the pot…
When the incentive to finish a goal shifts from the innate satisfaction of completion to a fear of financial penalty, is it possible that the goal itself will unintentionally change in subtle ways?

#48Find a better place to work. Just started as a software engineer, fresh out of college. I come home and I am constantly learning, which I enjoy, go to work and introduce new ideas and am shot idea not because of my ideas but beucasue im a newbie. Over the past couple of month has eatten away at my confidence and starting to just blow it off. :(
If you learn to think about the company's perspective on things, you can start finding ways to 'sell' ideas. Unless you can make it sound like good business, it's hard to 'sell' something to a business.
