Don't tell them. Buy on Alibaba - $200 of anything that you think would sell.
And then sell it.
Not rocket science but most people are their own biggest wall.

Sell online.
Max Cost of experiment: $200 + hours put in.
You'll learn to sell.
None of my advice is expensive in time or money. But it requires effort and ability to learn from failure.
The learning from failure is the key part. Everything else is just qualia.
1. Sales = learn to knock on a 100 doors to get one sale.
2. Marketing = learn to communicate your value prop to specific companeis and hiring managers.
3. Delviery = learn to deliver products/projects end to end with all the management that goes in between.
If you know all 3 you'll never be in a position where you don't have income. It takes about 4 years to really get a grasp of all 3 so start now ... don't just do a 8 hour job and go home and watch tv.
Keep trying to sell your services to others ... at least 2-3 hours after work to other companies/startups/other industries. Its a big world - smeone needs your services - your survival depends on finding those people nad packaging your skilsl so that they buy.
Especially if you are early in your career and its becoming harder to land a stable job.
you need to learn how to market your skills, get clients and deliver.
No more excuses to sit in a job and do nothing. This is going to be critical to survive.
Eventually I think companies are going to be much smaller entities than they once were which means your have to really buid your own biz.
- the perception of hitting OKRs is more important than anything else
- if you can enter into the OKR discussion early, then you can control it.
- if you can, run the OKR process much to your gain :)
Having money is actually harder because there are no constraints to guide you.
Arnold is right - be useful
Furrows the brow of my wife up quite a bit.
It hits you like a ton of bricks.
This is a local Bay Area band and all 3 members are exquisitely skilled in more than one instrument.
The lack of agency is what's primary here. You are never guaranteed to have the best care all of the time - even if you have the money.
They have to figure out their needs there and satisfy them.
Its crucial.
Holistic 100% care doesn’t exist - even for the rich.
The only way to get optimal care is to pay for it with study. Even the richest in the world don’t necessarily get the best care because care is a function of the present life situation of the practitioner - something no one can control 100% of the time.
What is reassuring is that through a little study - you can refine the care provided by most nurses and doctors using your own curiosity at the point of interaction.
Surprisingly the mistakes committed by nurses and doctors on somewhat healthy patients are easily fixed with some sembalance of attention.
Study the first 2 years of med school. It’s not hard but does take time. And then ask the pertinent quesitons during your time with the doctor. Understand the diagnosis and how they came to it - it’s mostly simple and straight forward.
80% of the massive mistakes by doctors and nurses are fixable this way. Thats $800B … 800 billion dollars - with a little study.
In most fields the best will know. And the process of getting inf ront of the best will also teach you about the field.
Online courses aren't really holistic enough and not fundamental enough. They are usually dertivatives which are a translation of sorts from source documents.
For medicine you want the source documents which you can really trust.
Meidicine isn't static - it'll keep changing but its important to know source mateiral and tracking how outlooks and fixes for diseases change from there.
UptoDate.com has the best deciison science -newest knowlege. Thye are about 18 months old from cutting edge research. (Which is a good thing).
Start with Anatomy. And the basic anatomical form.
Start with a problem you personally have. (Go to a doc if its serious!)
Figure out your concentric anaotmy of hte issue, the pathology. Everytime you read a textbook it will push you to a new subject.
Do this for at least 5 hours and you'll be able to relate to your doctor much better.
If you want to know what a dcotor looks at for decision support - you can go to uptodate.com - I think they have a free trial for 3 days or something.
The most essential idea is that a doctor is someone whose model of hte human body is much more realistic than yours.
Thus as you learn medicine keep improving the model you have of your own body and how someone elses would be different from yours - for all major body systems - lymph, respiratory, nervous, endocrine , muscular, digestive, integumentary, urinay, excretory, circulatory etc.

Start with Anatomy.
Start with a problem you HAve personally. And understand the anatomy and physiology. Use that to learn every abstraction you bump into. Example you'll definitely need to learn about the skin for example
Also go to uptodate.com for your condition. Thats basically what a doc uses anyways.
For inspiration go to r/medicalschool .
Constantly use
Weidly its the only good one I Found.
A great text will get you upto beinngin in 2 weeks - month. A "good enough" will mean a year if it isn't your primary focus.
Try learning RL from any other text than Barto-Sutton.
The next two are more about interacting with a live patient in a variety of settings. Obviously this si useful.
But most of the harm created by the medical system and skewed doctor incentives (only 15 minutes to see you) can be averted by those 2 years. For example: knowing to e able to read a examination report means abiliy to ask questions immediately.
Yep I'm ware of Guyton and Nnja.
The marginal information that a doctor has from real life is useful but with so many medical errors, for 80% of people they aren't relevant.
I've caught surgeons literally mentioning the wrong type of incisions right before the surgery.
Eg: For RL it would be Barto&Sutton book.
Sometimes the best source is not intuitive. Eg: The best way to become a safe driver is to go to performance drivign school - its a bit expensive but they tell you how to sit and stay alert in a car which I have never seen outside of these schools.
One of my most common things nowadays is to ask ChatGPT is to ask to build a curriculum. Creating and understanding what a great curriculum looks like is 20% of the work of understanding a field.
You can LEARN ANYTHING now if you have the time and inclination and elbow grease. Truly nothing is beyond your grasp - NOTHING. Its a magical time.
I'm actually building a tool that will do all this for you and get you started down the learning path faster than what we have now.
And for the curious - the best way to learn medicine is not a textbook. There are solutions out there like Skethcy which work much better for anatomy.
My own learning project - learn Medicine "on the side". It seems ludcirous that we give up the keys to our health to doctors just so we don't have to learn 2 years of courses. Am going to fix that!
Of course there are some who want $100M.
But most are really happy that they most likely don’t ever have to do anything they don’t like.
I actually think Sam's vision probably scares them.
Does it not look like that no one wants to work with Sam in the long run?
Move that fee to 1% for buyer agent and you have a massive market.
They seem to be blind to the fact that facetime is what gets you promoted along with output of hard-work.
You can't work hard at home - at least 90% can't.
All in all its good - being able to outcompete a whole bunch of people through their own delusions is probaly the easiest victory for every hard working person.
Kind of poetic really :)
