in Why I Don’t Make Good Points Very Often on Finance Your Freedom
Loved the P.S., and I was going to point that out, except you already did!
I may be in the minority here (or maybe not), but I think the death of The Growing Life is tragic. Project Mojave seems to be a great thing, but there are millions of times more internet marketing systems than there are good point makers. The world needs revolutionaries more than yellow highlighters.
Isn't there a happy medium? Isn't there a hint in this post?

Thanks Hunter. So far over 500 people have downloaded it . . . I'm hoping that's a good thing.

in Mental Bias - Would You Like Fries With Your Warm Fuzzy Platitudes? on SidSavara.com
Terrific post, Ali! I've always seen the Forer effect as a particularly devious monster. When I participated in an MBTI workshop, I determined my type incorrectly because I misunderstood some things. Then when I read the description of the type I thought I was, I accepted it, but with some reservations.
Like it said I was very loyal. Um, yeah, I guess. I mean, nobody thinks they're disloyal, right? But I wouldn't exactly say that loyalty is central to my personality. I believed it because that's what I was told, but when I eventually found out my real type, I could see that the first type was obviously way off.
I can definitely see how the Forer effect can completely mislead people, myself included. On the other hand, do I just think the Forer effect applies to me because I've been told it does? Because that would be the Forer effect in action right there!

Thanks Hunter! Yes, I think this is a similar problem to the one I've had with MBTI (and a lot of personality indicators) - I often feel that most of the descriptions apply to me. (I know I'm an introvert; other things, I'm less sure on.)
As to whether the Forer effect applies despite the fact you *think* it applies ... I'll let you square that vicious circle!

in Rewrite and rewrite and rewrite and rewrite and rewrite - Fun with Opinions on Fun with Opinions
This is a problem I have. I heard about NaNoWriMo and didn't partake, but I find myself wanting to redo lots of things I've done before. Like I'll learn that alt tags for images are good for SEO, so then I want to go through all my posts and add them. The more you learn, the more you learn what you did wrong before.
Like you said, NaNoWriMo gives you a short deadline and permission to let quality slide, thereby letting you finish a draft very quickly. Sure, the quality won't be there, but I guess most people normally err on the side of perfectionism, and never get anything done.
If I were writing a novel, I'd try to keep in mind that going back to rewrite a chapter wouldn't necessarily relieve me of having to rewrite it again later. I could keep thinking of new ways to do it, and never be finished. On the other hand, if I wrote a first draft of the whole thing, I'd at least have something to work with. There would surely be many things I wanted to change, but that's OK. Writing a quick draft first probably reduces the total amount of rewriting, compared to rewriting as you go.

That's an excellent point Hunter. It will require rewrites later on and the later I leave it the easier it will be as the rest of the story will be finished as well. I must remember that.

in Recession: Good, Bad, and Ugly on Billionaire Woman
I lost my job in the recession (back before it was officially a recession). Still, I think people are really overreacting to it. Most of the people who think the recession is the end of the world have not even been affected by it. I lost my job, so I can say that I've been affected, but is that the end of the world? Even though the news wants us to be depressed, there's no reason we can't keep living our lives.

That's really deep Hunter. I think you are really in tune with yourself and we can all learn from your experiences.

in wait until tomorrow to change on brip blap
Your net enjoyment went negative your first week? Wow. I might have made it a year or so before it happened. For a while, I really thought I wanted to keep that job forever. I guess the sooner you know you want something different, the sooner you can start doing something about it.

Steve @ bripblap
@Hunter: I certainly wouldn't say it STAYED negative after the first week. I had my good times and bad times. I just knew the first week that it wasn't something that was going to keep me going. I had moments - I loved being sent to Russia for work, I loved being sent to Indonesia, I enjoyed meeting a lot of the people I worked with - but the WORK was never interesting to me.

Barack Obama is in my LinkedIn network. Should I ask him to stumble my stuff? I'd be like, "Dude, are we voting for each other, or not?"

You could be like "Seriously, Barack... I'm trying to hit the Digg front page for crying out loud. I fucking gave you $12 bucks last month you think you could at least give me a vote."

in Fact or Fiction? The Truth About The Harvard Written Goal Study on SidSavara.com
Sid, I'd like to hear what personal development forums you use too!
I heard about that study a while back, but I had a feeling that it might not be true. I'm glad that you were able to find some other evidence for the effectiveness of written goals though!

Thanks Hunter!
I actually had the opposite reaction when I first heard the study: I found
it very believable. Consider how the top 1% of American's control so much of
America's wealth, and the top 1% of the world control so much of the world's
wealth. There are such extreme statistics, that the top 3% versus top 97%
figure looked amazing - but still (to me) believable.
I emailed you offline about some of the forums I frequent. Thanks for the
comment!

That said, I'd like to respond to what you said. Perhaps it is true that "there are millions of times more internet marketing systems than there are good point makers." But is it also true that there are millions more point makers than there are *GENUINE* resources for liberating yourself that actually work. And that are created in the interest of VALUE GIVING and not some money getting scheme.
You'd know what I mean if you saw project Mojave. You'd know what I mean if you saw the team of faculty members that's coming together to work on this. You'd know what I mean if you spoke to the 6+ people now who've been able to quit their day jobs. You'd know what I mean if you saw my mission statement for Project Mojave. And not only that . . .
You'll KNOW what I mean when 6 months from now, Project Mojave has given away more free PREMIUM content than any other similar company. You'll know what I mean when you see the unsolicited video testimonials that people are sending in. You'll know what I mean when we release case studies about people liberating themselves based on the free material were giving out (just the free material alone . . . this is not a future aspiration, this is happening NOW).
And you'd know what I mean if you saw the meetups that are happening. The accountability groups that are forming. The lives that are being changed.
You'd know what I mean if you saw me working 16+ hours a day working on Project Mojave. You'd know what I mean if you saw that I was taking literally every cent from Project Mojave and re-investing back in the Project.
There *are* millions of times more internet marketing systems than there are good point makers, but Project Mojave is not JUST an internet marketing system. Just asking anyone involved.
And that's not internet marketing bullshit hype.
