Butters

Volunteering didn't happen because my flight to Bail got cancelled as I was flying via Abu Dhabi right after the Iran war started. And I'm glad I didn't go cause instead i went ahead and started my web design freelancing. I've now got my first 3 clients plus a solid cold email outreach system so i should be at around €5k per month soon, then €10k and after that go back to e-commerce.

Alright, my first journal on here, let's make it count. Goal: €10.000 per month net income (after tax) Timeframe: 5 years (June 2029) Reason: So I can travel while doing stand-up comedy and not having to worry about jobs or money in the future Currently: €28K in debt with almost no income First, I've realized that I don't care about money. The thought of buying cool stuff or experiences doesn't have the same kind of trigger that it used to. Doing my artistic pursuits, doing stand-up, having meaningful interactions with other people, that is the real thing for me. The fantasy of having lots of money is BYPASSING, just to escape the hard things and building mastery in my domain. I don't care if I'm broke, as long as I can do my comedy and have my own thoughts and feelings. I only care about the person I am becoming in this process, because I like that person. So now money just becomes practical, and for practical reasons I would like to have an income. I believe that having a 10K pm income would increase the quality of my life since it'll allow me to travel the world while doing stand-up, creating content, learning new things and further developing my character. History: I've dabbled in my online business things but mastered none. I've built and sold websites, I've done affiliate marketing (Clickbank), YouTube channel and many other things. Most notable is I started a Print-on-Demand Etsy shop in 2020 that has done over $500.000 in sales (not profit, not even close). This was my only income between 2020 and 2024. This business failed for several reasons, mainly; not enough commitment, poor financial management, increased competition (especially in 2023 and 2024). Leo said in his recent Being Wrong episode that he had lost his life purpose for over a year and I was in the same position. I denied who I really was and tried to become someone else. That was a big mistake. Now I understand the value of my LP even more. And the goal of my business should always be to support my LP and not be about the money or anything, that's an escape. Current situation: Right now I have 1 YouTube channel that I make videos with AI. It's not yet monetized but has 1050 subs and was only started 4 months ago. I also have an Etsy shop selling digital items that's making some sales now but not yet profitable. I'm entering into a government debt relief program which will restrict my access to money and whatnot for the coming 18 months. This is probably gonna suck, but should give me time to focus on my stand-up while learning new business skills. So 18 months from now I can start making money and be debt-free. The debt was created from borrowing money into my business (sole proprietorship) but not really growing. The debt snowball just increased which made me stressed and less capable of making sane business decisions. How to make money: First understand WHY I want to make money; so I can focus on stand-up. This WHY is so damn important, it influences every other decision. If I forget the WHY, I've pretty much failed. Like I said if I am a full-time comedian and always broke for the rest of my life, I'll take it! This making money stuff is just for practical purposes. So here are my making-money criteria: Not employment Not sales of physical products Must not consume too much of my time Must not be location bound Must not be bound to specific times Must not be a public persona; my public persona is as a comedian. So if I can't post a bit about me jerking off while high on Molly on my IG then forget about it. Must be ethical (my personal definition counts here) Makes me feel good about my work and myself Be future-proof (AI and stuff) No employees (virtual staff is okay) Scalable Most important factor. once again, is this is a tool to help me maximize my artistic potential, which is why there's so many negatives (not's) on this list. Right now on the top of my mind is learning to create funnels so I can help high-ticket coaches and public speakers get more clients. This seems to be a sensible thing to do. I could charge a retainer of perhaps $2K pm per client, or way higher retainers, as long as I get them clients. I also love the personal development niche so helping these people seems to fit my criteria. Also, having the ability to get people clients is always good and always worth money. And by mastering funnels I can also create my own funnels and do some affiliate marketing for existing online programs. I don't see this dying out anytime soon. In fact, when it comes to live personal development seminars, those will probably be way more popular in the AI age. I'd enjoy networking in this field too, so that's a plus. I downloaded Iman Gadzhi's Agency Navigator course a while ago and he talks about outsourcing. So once I master funnels, I could (as an agency) outsource the actual PPC ad management for low prices to quality third-world freelancers. My focus would then be on overseeing the projects, getting clients and of course managing the customer relationships. Part 1: Mastering Funnels So here we go. The first part of this journey is to master funnels. Spend 1 hour or more to learn everything there is about funnels in 2024 and in the future. This could also be a valuable skill if I host my own comedy shows later on to selling tickets and running these events. There's also a part of getting better at managing my money, but I'll get into that later. Step 1: spend 30 minutes every day learning about funnels.

"I get sick all the time so instead of taking rest I take unregulated peptides" Stage Orange is hilarious.

I knew from the beginning this guy was a POS by the way he treated his black caddy driver in that documentary they did on him a few years ago. Just look at the way they treat other people, it's not that hard to see.

So it's safe to mess around and try different techniques loosely without following the traditional methods?

There is no secret chemical, only pepperspray 😭

I haven't studied it. I don't have access to the book where I am right now (traveling). My main source has been this guided meditation At first I found the effects quite strong. I would stop early for that reason. But now when I do it in bed it's not that strong anymore. What are the desired effects of doing this? Should it feel mild or strong? Do you do it at set times or throughout the day?

This is pure gold. Btw were all interviewers this sharp back then? Guess they weren't high like Rogan these days lol.

So Leo, do you agree with Meek Mill who famously said that "these hoes be acting up ,and these niggas be letting 'em"? A solution would be that we pimp these hoes towards Truth. Or do you think that hoes distract niggas from Truth by default?

Cal has fantastic sobering takes , highly recommend

I really enjoyed Leo's videos on this, let me share them here again. And another interesting one about Ai replacing programmer jobs. My experience vibe coding is: I've learned how all this works and will be working with a professional developer on actual commercial projects. Share more!

Ram Das had a stroke in '97 and lived for 20 more years and still did lots of talks. Sadhguru experienced a life-threatening health emergency in March 2024 involving massive bleeding and swelling in his brain, which is medically classified as a type of stroke. Still seems pretty enlightened to me.

How do we distinct delusion from truth in a case like this? Surely not everything that can't be verified or isn't mainstream is delusion. If I were to answer this I would say intuition. Him saying it didn't 'feel' true, but surely we can't be fact checking on gut feeling. Because the Holocaust doesn't feelingly resonate with me either but did happen. Also it's not backed up by any of the other sources I follow, but the man is a historian so where does he get this from I wonder.

It barely counts as spirituality. The average member on this forum is more evolved than these cult leaders.

@Leo Gura in all of your research have you found anything particularly disturbing around global elites and occultists? I'm talking something in the arena of '90% of humanity will be wiped out in the next 50 years' like the Chinese professor said in his last video You said you've been watching his videos. Where do you think these ideas are coming from?

Would you agree with this? I was wondering this today: if Leo had had very serious childhood trauma, would there be an Actualized.org? Or would Leo have created a totally different product for a different audience, possibly something about healing trauma? @Leo Gura Did Leo's non-traumatized childhood contribute to Actualized accuracy / purity?

This video is also a great life purpose example.

Highly recommend video. Isn't it incredible that animals can communicate using grammar?

This is my YouTube feed now 😂 but they're interesting documentaries. Edit: uggg, I couldn't watch that Cambodia one to the end 😣 you know these child abusers are so convinced it's sickening. Why are the victims so quiet and the abusers so loud? Even in prison. This pedophiles can't look beyond themselves. Imagine living in a world where you genuinely believe that 'children fall in love with you' and that you're the victim of some witch hunt because you adopted and abused a 4 year old Cambodian girl. This guy will fight to defend this worldview to the death.

If I was bombarded with chodes sliding in my ig 24/7 I'd also find ways to monetize it.

Past two months I've been in Portugal and I see a LOT of old school dating here. Many teenagers but any age range really, just couples on dates. Would you enjoy this? I think this is what the conservative model is about. No hyper individualism or hyper sexuality, but proper dating. That means committing and falling in love, possibly at a young age, and being serious about that. No cheating, no exploring, no messing around. Focus on being in love, not sex. I've seen so many same-age couples here that were head over heels for each other. The downside is of course you are falling deeper into the illusions of the world. It ties into traditional family and cultural values and totally ignores personal development or spiritual deepening. In my opinion the Western model is superior: fuck around, nothing is too serious and a heavy focus on personal success and development. I mean, isn't it better to work on yourself and then EARN that amazing woman? You wanna just be given a cute girl at 18 and that's it?

Lovely read

Perhaps this video is one for you to consider in your series on sociopaths. Discusses language patterns in psychopaths versus regular people.

Has anyone here done this? I've had a few offers but I always declined. I once went to this place where old people massage each other on a table with oil and and I joined in lol. But not like full on swingers. I also offered doing some swapping with my ex but she hated the idea. I guess I just liked the idea of another chick or couple watching while we fucked. I think swinging is much more prevalent with older couples cause after 20 years of marriage they just don't care anymore and see it as something novel. If she's old then the guy doesn't get jealous anymore.

His explanation of Zionism is very interesting, I learned a lot from this. Notice how these biblical text speak the Truth when applied to yourself , but these stage blue morons are so fucking stupid they apply it to the physical world 😑😣 Epic fucking facepalm. These fundamentalists are so dumb it truly hurts my brain. Imagine going through life just believing something that's completely false and when someone points this out you just call them the devil. Lol, I wish my life was of such stupidity because it must be easy living.
