    Business is global, you can sell stuff from Georgia to a US or UK markets or all countries at once through being an online service provider and doing ecommerce.

    However, there’s one major obstacle: my English isn’t fluent enough yet to comfortably speak in front of a camera.

    So what's stopping you to record and post one 10 min video in english on a Youtube channel everyday for the next month? Guaranteed at the end of the 30 days you'll be a much better speaker. You can put them on private afterwards if you're worried about embarrassing yourself with low quality content but at least you'll be posting stuff and testing how the algorithm and viewers react.

    What do you think? Is this a limiting belief, or am I looking at a genuine problem?

    After all, business and content creation are largely about numbers, right? The bigger the potential audience, the bigger the opportunity.

    Almost 100% a limiting belief. From talking to you it seems that you're not sure what you wanna do and what to commit to. I've had that problem as well and even today it's hard to fully be consistent in one thing. What helps me is finding clarity and fleshing out what my dream would look like a few years from now and what do I need to do to get there.

    Can you talk about the tourism business, what happened with that? Did you run into a bottleneck or you found it boring after a while? 

    What does your dream life look like 5 years from now? Where would you be living? What kind of customers would you be helping with your business? There's a massive difference between selling ice cream on the beach to tourists and being a high ticket consultant for AI implementation for example.

    What do you like to do? What are you good at? What have you made money doing before? If I gave you $50,000,000 USD what would you spend the rest of your life doing? 

    If you answer these questions we can help you find more clarity because fortunately the answer to your question is basically 100% a limiting belief and you can make millions if not billions from anywhere on earth that has internet.

    I have a very politically incorrect question for women:

    Would you rather be raped or spend 10 years in prison? Which is worse?

    Wow, that's a simple but very poignant question. 

    It does have to be differentiated depending on the context, such as a violent assault by an unknown perpetrator versus a non-consensual violation occurring within a familiar interaction.

    Also multiple victims muddies the water as well as the overall reduction of rape in society from public verdicts like this. 

    They are important questions and conversations to have; I think overall the conservative attitude of don't talk about sex and sweep all uncomfortable questions under the rug has caused a lot of harm.

    Russell got off easy. You can get life in prison for rape in the UK and he had many accusations. He can still claim that he's being unfairly prosecuted and his family will stick by him and he'll still be rich after his sentence is done. 

    This sentencing will help victims worldwide as unfortunately rape is still under prosecuted and 80%+ rapists go free.

    If Russell Brand was a real Christian he would confess his sins, which just means telling the truth.  If he told the truth and stopped gaslighting his victims, then he and his victims could start to heal.  It will be interesting to see if prison is enough to shock him into truth or does he continue with the same false personality spewing nonsense.   

    A lot of Christians act as if believing in Jesus gives you a license to do all kinds of crazy things in the material realm. For most Christians I talk to, surrendering to Jesus gives them permission to quit all other forms of philosophy, morality and inquiry and they become judgemental and closed minded to anything else. I don't know if the cult label really fits and even if it does it's too vague to really nail the phenomenon but it's interesting to witness.

    I think it's normal to feel threatened by AI, seems inevitable that it will make works that are indistinguishable from human work and eventually consistently surpass it. I haven't seen any that clearly do yet but you have stuff like this that sounds quite human and is pretty good.

    You should also remember that most human output is not that good anyway so it's not like most creations aren't already human slop. AI is going through its learning curve now but soon it'll come out with formulas to create consistent beauty on the magnitude that we haven't seen since the creation of the universe itself.

    I would say I have already had many conversations with AI that were equally profound if not much more so than any I've ever had with another human being. Human is trained in all the data that all of humanity has produced in all of our history so its built out of the very soul and wisdom of our species. It's easy to fear monger and look at its bad sides but it's truly a fantastic creation and work of peak art and engineering with what it can already produce today, let alone what will do in the next decades to come. 

    It'll also allow humans to create works and projects at scale in a way that was only accessible to a few in history and allow our most talented people to create even deeper media and art. 

    Exciting time to be alive!

    I definitely don't have this problem fully solved but I have a few coping strategies that have worked decently for me. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 16 years old and I tried the meds that they gave me around that time but I found them to be mostly overstimulating and not that effective so I've been dealing with it on my own since then.

    Definitely meditate as often as possible, ideally daily. It lets me integrate that neurotic buzzing of information into more quiet and streamlined thoughts. 

    Put your thoughts on paper or ideally in a common place book/second brain software like Obsidian. Once you start to organize your goals and ideas then your subconscious has less incentive to keep bombarding you with random thoughts and ideas. I think it does that as an overcompensation for survival. 

    Use an LLM to sort through your seemingly unrelated ideas. Other humans have trouble with organizing a stream of consciousness style of conversation and end up confused if you throw your ideas at them but AI is made for it. I like to first write out sudden inspirations in my Obsidian then I I have conversations with Gemini about it to make sense of it. 

    This is a good video on it by a famous ADHD researcher Russell Barkley on its main symptom: executive dysfunction.

    Here are the 5 main ones that he identifies

    1 - Inhibit behaviour
    2 - Using visual imagery which bundles Hindsight and having a sense of time
    3 - Talk to yourself in the mind, verbal working memory
    4 - Emotional control linked to motivation
    5 - Planing and problem solving

    Basically we have a tendency to overthink and have trouble taking consistent action. That can lead to starting projects and leaving them unfinished over and over. It's definitely one of my symptoms but that's also the work style of a polymath that seeks to master life and reality as a whole as opposed to one specific domain.

    Which is why I find that plotting my life and analyzing my ideas in a long term fashion in Obsidian and with the assistance of AI helps massively to figure out the parts of my workflow are dysfunctional and harming my goals and the part that's just naturally how I enjoy to explore ideas and the world. 

    Hope that helps.

    I read some of Robert Greene's books, but found them machiavellian and indulging in politics related to psychology and marketing.

    It may be good for superficial short-term tactics while engaging in the material world, but does not provide the strategic substratum for long-term development leading to peace and happiness.

    If you are living solely by such machiavellian tactics, life is bound to be superficial, conflict-prone and hollow, imho.

    I noticed that Greene himself is a student of Zen Buddhism, possibly feeling discontentment or dissatisfaction with his personal philosophies.

    Man to me I find the exact opposite. Only by understanding the darker side of life can you champion light and defeat those who would stand in your ways. If one tries to have a powerful life purpose that's centered around helping humanity but is not familiar with how power in human society works, he or she is bound to be not that successful in their endeavours as the status quo will fight back ferociously.

    Although I agree that it's important to not just read books about power and material strategy otherwise you will become too cynical and rob yourself of appreciating the more delicate and beautiful things in life.

    I read his book  a long time ago. I tried to find my life's task. After 3 years i discovered leo's course. But mastery by Robert Greene  was my main OS . I tried to find my life's task ,  i neglected everything. I thought if i find my life's task , i can become greate. After 7 years i found my life's task. I realised , India is not America. Very few opertunities exist. All these 7 years , i wasted opertunities after opertunities. I cannot make money from my life's task. It  can only be done on the side. I wasted 7 years trying to find my life's task. 

    Fuck him. American self help gurus can say anything they want. India is different. The only way to have a decent life in India is to study well in school and college. Its a hellhole here. 

    Americans have an easy life. If Robert Greene was born in India , he would beg for a government job or an IT job 

    That's fair, I think it's more of a philosophy book around life purpose rather than a direct how to guide. A lot of times the way to get to your life purpose is to make a lot of money in a more practical and less spiritual industry and then build another purposeful business on the side.

    @Natasha Tori Maru I think it should be assigned reading in History class for all high schoolers! If everyone was taught the underhanded ways in which society works instead of vague and sanitized history, citizens would be a lot more efficient and capable of critical thinking than they are now. 

    @Heaven Yeah the beauty of the present moment is not a new subject but I'm curious to see how Robert handles it. Have you read the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle? That one was quite good but a bit airy fairy and poetic vs the more gritty version that I'm hoping Robert writes.

    If he makes it like his other ones he's gonna pick all kinds of famous figures of history and how they connected to spirituality after achieving success in the material world which I'm very curious to read.

    @something_else I think you're being quite naive and idealistic. Spiral Dynamics operates on the principle of "transcend and include," not "transcend and bypass."

    You make a common mistake on this forum of trying to bypass and invalidate the value and virtue of Stage Orange. A shift in the collective zeitgeist is merely potential energy; if the frustration at the status quo is not channeled by an individual or organization with specific goals and the competency to achieve them then the status quo will remain. We saw this in real time in December 2025 with the Iranian protests that gathered millions of disenfranchized people but that ultimately were unsuccessful in doing much against the regime since there were no functional process to achieve change apart from venting protesting and "collective awareness". 

    The Pyramid of Responsibility isn't an "Orange corporate value system," it is a system that breaks how change happens vs staying in victimhood. Level 1 is a victim mindset that's basically crying about the unfairness of the world and Level 4 and 5 is where all the people that have made massive change to mankind live. 

    2 hours ago, something_else said:

    In fact, somebody who lives a relatively unremarkable life by Orange standards but who has developed a collectivist worldview could be considered further along the spiral than an exceptionally successful Orange individual. My sense is that this frustrates you because you're evaluating developmental progress according to the standards that Green exists specifically to transcend.

    I'm evaluating it based on what actually produces positive change in the real world. Having Stage Green ideals without competence is 90% useless. 10% is useful in terms of introspecting on what the world needs but the other 90% is action taking.

    @hoodrow trillson You're arguing against a straw-man. I explicitly stated that money by itself does nothing without a baseline of game, and I called purely transactional dynamics a last resort. In your head, a man is either a broke, charismatic "bad boy" pulling effortlessly, or a rich, sterile "ATM goober" getting cheated on, that sounds more like the cope to me than anything I said. 

    Why are you assuming those are the only two options? What happens when a guy has game, stays in shape, and has a nice place, high income, and total freedom and control over his time and logistics? Why wouldn't that help your dating life? 

    Money doesn't replace game, it scales it and overall makes your life more fun and exciting.

    @Majed its easier to be top 1% in social skills then in looks as nobody is approaching and talking to woman except some drunk guy in your town who has no idea what he is doing. I would say money is least important as that is only good for logistics, but looks definitely help as that is the first thing she sees.

    Money is SO important in game. Just by itself it won't do much but putting that on top of a foundation of game increases your potential results by infinity. 

    It's a MASSIVE cope that pick up coaches spread to not worry about money. It's almost impossible to build a high quality dating life if you don't have your personal finances in order.

    I had a nice place by the Lake in Toronto and I would sleep with women by asking them to come have drinks by the lake with me and then take them upstairs. It was also 10 mins walk away from clubbing district. I knew so many people that lived 1 hour away from Downtown that never got laid because they had bad logistics.

    Living with your parents is one of the top predictors of sexlessness for men. https://ifstudies.org/blog/male-sexlessness-is-rising-but-not-for-the-reasons-incels-claim

    Also being able to take girls out for dinner without worrying about covering their bills or an uber. 

    Being able to travel if single but even with a partner is phenomenal.

    Being able to invest in your appearance like getting a dating photoshoot, nice barber, good clothes, cologne, etc.

    Being able to host and scale events. 

    You could take 2 years off of work and only focus on your dating life if you had enough savings or if you had remote income that required not much maintenance to keep flowing. 

    You could also very directly use money to date, plenty of 40-60 year old men date hot ass younger women by sugar dating. Some of those arrangements are purely transactional with people not really valuing each other but a lot turn into real relationships and marriage. I think it's a last resort type of move to do that but overall the idea that being in financial abundance unlocks way more beautiful and feminine women than you could get without it is quite true. When I worked at a busy restaurant in Downtown Toronto I remember some hot ass servers dating investment banking dudes that seemed quite dorky but made 150-250k at like 26 years old while the pickup guys I knew pulled chicks that were not as hot because they didn't have the same financial leverage. 

    There are way more things I could add. Dating as a whole has always been about proving yourself as a provider before you are able to bring a woman into your life with stability. There are a lot of interesting ideas about basing your game on the lover frame but when I did it myself and see other men do it, it ends in unstable and temporary arrangement because fundamentally you are not a stable man that can provide value long term to one or many women.

    Either right before or during my morning routine. It makes a big difference.

    I really like this model and I think it breaks down victim mindset so well. It's taken from the corporate world but it can apply to an individual's life and society as a whole.

    Most Stage Green people operate in level 1 and maybe in level 2 but rarely above. If we map it to Spiral Dynamics I think you only start to touch Stage Yellow with 3 and above because you really need to do a lot of work researching the world and getting work/business experience to start to understand what a possible solution would look like.

    It seems like inaction when everybody is just sitting around complaining and talking about issues without necessarily doing anything, but this still collectively improves the development level of society over time.

    Most issues Green feels strongly about are not things an individual can do a whole lot about anyway, it requires large scale mindset shifts in society to fix those problems, which is achieved largely through awareness, identification of problems, open discussion, and yes, crying about them.

    Listen man if you find people that complain a lot but don't take action towards fixing their problems and others problems valuable then I mean good for you. I think it's very surface level way to live life and at best you're pointing out problems that you wish somebody else would fix.

    We'd have to get more specific at to which subset of people we are talking about but my grievance are mainly with people in 3 main buckets:

    - People who complain about the economy and cost of living but don't research and learn new skills in terms of personal finance and business.

    - People who complain about the government but don't similarly don't take any action to join or create an organization that can help their community or country and never make effort to build a relationship with their elected officials. 

    - Men and Women who complain about the state of the dating market but don't take much strategic action towards solving their problems and instead blame the other sex for their lack of success.

    @something_else My main issue is people using Stage Green talking points as an ego defence to justify their own lack of efficiency. I think you've made good points around classifying those people more as Stage Blue people grasping at Stage Orange rather than actually Stage Green. I think that leads to idealism and their points although perhaps having a surface of validity are fundamentally naive, inefficient and shallow. 

    Healthy Stage Green would look like an individual with a productive relationship to the economy that uses his extra time to help social causes. If we're looking in terms of an organization it would be one that changes its goals from being about profit motive to now being about productive betterment of mankind. Perhaps like a Soup Kitchen or an engineering firm focused on sustainable energy. I would say both the individual and organization cross into Stage Yellow when they are able to use powerful societal systems to bring massive leverage to their cause and decouple their output from mere human energy.

    In other words actually developing the tools to fix the problems as opposed to just identifying them and voicing them out or crying about them if you wanted to be less charitable. 

    If we are to bring it back to Communism since we talked about it before, it would make sense to classify it as a movement with Stage Green ideals but that failed to get past Stage Blue due to its rejection of Stage Orange. It thus got nowhere close to the Stage Yellow efficiency that would've been needed to transform society to the degree that they were aiming at.

    I assume that's the part that subconsciously scares a lot of people. I've also seen a lot of feedback saying they dislike his historical anecdotes and the reader would've enjoyed a more to the point type of narrative. Which seems a bit silly to me since both there are a lot of books that do have this dry and straight to the point writing style and the historical context tie in is what I find to be one of the most valuable aspect of his work.

    @LordFallHis book Mastery is garbage

    Yeah I would agree for 48 Laws of Power and Laws of Human Nature. Haven't read 33 Strategies but I've read the 50th Law, his book co-written with 50 cent, I thought that one was similarly quite good.

    What didn't you enjoy about Mastery? I thought it was quite profound and I enjoy some stuff he wrote about like going back to your childhood genuine interests for clues for your life purpose. It definitely lacked the practicality of some more direct books like Alex Hormozi's books on business for example but I think his aim was to be esoteric and not a how to guide.

    Of course. 

    You also don't have to be a master programmer to use AI effectively for a few processes inside of your business. 

    AI is also good at allowing for more remote work due to being able to dictate to your phone and have something like Claude work behind the scenes while you're on a hike for example.

    It's like asking if business is possible without the internet; yes there are plenty of shops that don't have social media or any web presence today. It limits their scaling potential but they can make a living just fine.

    The laws of human nature’s been sitting on my bookshelf for a long time. Haven’t read it yet. Is it good?

    Yeah I think it's phenomenal, I'm about halfway through it so far. It's much more brutal than 48 Laws of Power into dissecting the ego. Whereas 48 Laws of Power is more about figuring out how the outside world works, this one is more about how the mind works and plays tricks on you and how character traits like narcissism and anxiety form and how attitude has made and broken famous people in history. I'm gonna finish it over the next month and then more than likely to pickup a copy of The Law of the Sublime.

    Seems like he went through his own Eckhart Tolle like experience being stuck in his backyard for 7 years after having a stroke and ended up seeing life in a new light and writing this book. Looks like a banger, I'm excited to read it. By listening him to talk about it, the main idea seems to be about enjoyment of the present moment and being able to enjoy the sublime simplicity of life. He breaks it down into 12 areas that he feels represent most the concept. 

    He's probably my favorite author of all time so I'm very excited to see how he mixes his usual practicality and historical prose with a more spiritual topic. Interesting to see him go from more achievement-based topics to a more esoteric inquiry with the one before that being a Marcus Aurelius type book on his 366 Meditations and before that reflecting on human nature and now the sublime nature of existence itself.

    @LordFall @Ulax You’re both stereotyping green as activist hippies or like the stereotypical SJWs of old. Most people with a centre of gravity in stage green just come across as fairly normal well-educated people with careers, hobbies and goals like everyone else. The average left leaning westerner is firmly stage green, but most are not activists.

    Think of Scandinavian countries for example, they’re some of the most stage green places on earth yet it hardly makes sense to say “Scandinavian countries are useless at coming up with solutions to problems” because it’s simply not true. One look and you can see that they’re some of the most effectively run countries in the world, yet they would be classified as having a centre of gravity that’s firmly green.

    The way you’re applying spiral dynamics is quite flawed to be honest, you’re using it like a personality test instead of a developmental model.

    Scandinavia is actually a great example here, but it proves my point. In fact, you could argue the Nordic model is operating at a Stage Yellow level because it doesn't reject Orange at all and fully integrates it in its many efficient systems. 

    Instead of treating Stage Orange market dynamics as a "necessary evil" to be moralized against or constrained, which is how First-Tier Green operates, they take a Second-Tier Yellow approach and intentionally harness market mechanics as the foundational energy engine that makes a complex high-stage social safety net possible.

    Sweden, Denmark, and Norway rank among the most free-market, pro-business, and high-innovation economies in the world. They don't bypass Orange productivity or bash enterprise; they built massive, efficient market engines specifically so they can actually afford a Green social safety net. Synthesizing Orange economic reality with Green human values into a functional machine is literally systemic thinking.

    My critique wasn't about productive citizens in social democracies who contribute to a high-output society. I'm talking about the super common trend of people using Green anti-system talking points as an ego defense and often using "the system is evil" as a cope to avoid doing the hard work of building a useful skillset, discipline, and leverage in their own lives.

    I don't think the average left leaning westerner is firmly Stage Green with a well integrated Stage Green. I think they are exactly the Blue/Orange/Green hybrid monstrosity that you call a stereotype. Meaning being mostly talk and virtue signalling and not very effective people.

    I think you're stereotyping green a bit. There are plenty of stage green people who try to find solutions for problems. Don't forget that in order to properly integrate green you have to go through orange, and orange is very solution oriented. Yes, some stereotypically stage green people resent orange, but most stage green people are not like that.

    Awareness, open discussion, and community are usually the mechanisms by which green tries to solve problems, and those are not terrible solutions for the problems green likes to grapple with. It's limited, but to say that green never provides solutions for problems is a touch strawmannish.

    I find that 80% of people with a Stage Green mindset I see online or encounter don't see to have Stage Orange properly integrated at all. Do you really know a lot of activist minded people that have a solid grasp of business and the economy and have plans that make sense to further the cause they champion? Most people I see that point out social problems and seem really passionate about them, once I start to ask questions about how do we solve this go silent or say stuff that makes 0 sense. 

    @Ulax Straight up. It's realistically more like 95% than 80% that seem to have not much inkling of Stage Orange or Stage Yellow in their perspective. Of course it depends which subset of Stage Green people you interact with. If you go to an ecoengineering convention then I would assume that the attendees would be much more solutions oriented than the average activist. 

    Stage Green people almost always throw the baby away with the bathwater in terms of their Stage Orange perspective and start to view everything as oppression and fall straight into the victim mindset trap. They rarely are able to band together and do anything productive and at best will go to a protest(but not one that they organized themselves.) 

    You could also view it as people coming from Stage Blue and wanting to build an identity outside of the mainstream and once they get to Stage Orange and they look at the mountain of productivity required to actually become an independent being in modern society, they bypass it and adopt Stage Green talking points and start blaming billionaires for their problems.

    It's hard to say but either way it leads to the same result of people complaining a lot about the injustices of the world without doing much to build a skillset that would give them the leverage over the marketplace necessary to impact their own life and society as a whole.

    @something_else @LordFall I feel like you guys love to use spiral dynamics a lot. Honestly i feel like it isn't always concrete, and if you focus more on giving insights without necessarily anchoring it in the spiral dynamics model, i think this would be better for the development of your mind. 

    It's like the way Jordan Peterson for example love to see the world through a Christian lens. Now i think he's somewhat cognizant of that. But still any lens you use is just a lens, a map and not the territory itself. Be it christianity or spiral dynamics. 

    I find that it helps me tremendously in understanding where the people I'm talking to are coming from and seeing what type of advice might actually help their perspective.

    Otherwise I run into the problem of offering some piece of advice that seems very reasonable to me and the objections that I got made no sense until I filtered them through spiral dynamics then it started to make so much sense and I've been able to understand the mental blocks of the individuals I'm dealing with.

    Yeah I think purely casual is also boring and draining, I like in middle and have had a few friends with benefits. That was a good time and more enjoyable than one night stands. Relationships are great but can be too restrictive and it's also hard to find the exact type that you wanna be in unless you explore casually beforehand.
