"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.

When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives.

Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends."

Don't know about this, man. I always meet this kind of "surround yourself with successful people" advice with some antagonism. Sure, it's important with whom you associate professionaly, but your real fiends, the ones you grew up with, the true ones, are much more important. No matter where you aspire to get or how successful you are, never forget where you come from. That's my perspective.

Cheers on the 10k post man, keep rocking!

Never forget the day I messaged Anand feeling like a total noob asking to chat.

After my second or third PM with G, I decided to never PM anybody ever again. Almost true story.

I don't think I am the only one he blocked/quit talking to.

You don't write, you don't call, you don't skype...don't think Anand is the only one who blocked you.

Always loving the honesty in your posts even when I disagree with you.

Thanks. I try to be sincere most of the time.

Excellent. BlueHatSEO was my entry point too.

Eli is a legend in this space.

See, it was excellent Anand

I am happy it is done. Pressure off.

You can't measure what you've provided. If it means anything, you helped changed my life. I appreciate it, and i'll never forget it.

Wow, thanks. That's pretty heavy stuff.

Ended up getting hired and learned SO much from him. Changed my future career forever.

We're not done working together either, if you're still game.

I'm glad you decided to tell your story I'll pretend like our Skype chat had a little bit of impact on your decision to do so .

I had decided to tell a little about myself a couple days before, but your instincts were very good imo.

Built a stable career and realised 18 months ago why I started the first online business in the first place. (Freedom from the corporate bosses we come to hate sooo much, freedom to choose how, where and when we work!)

We are living on the leading edge in a very big change in how humans labor. The pioneers always get the most arrows!

You've challenged some very fundamental principles regarding marketing and life. Principles that have made me affirm and or rethink how I've approached a lot of things.

That's very cool, thanks.

I lol'd.

Man, these are the types of post that officially make me a gay webmaster. I love you man!

Thanks J. We should do some business together (if you're the guy I think you are).

My reaction every time there's a new guerilla thread

This one is no exception. Thanks bro

That's a terrifying looking creature.

Although I never mention publicly your enormous help for fear of you getting bombarded with requests, I'm truly grateful. I'm still here even though I don't post much, I'm quietly in the corner working away. Thanks again for all your help, you've changed my life for me and my family forever.

My only regret is that I don't have more time for this stuff but over the last 5 years, my schedule has been all over the place, and sometimes I can spend more time, and sometimes I can spend less. I might take

Posts like this make me want rub salmon all over my body and fight a bear. Then I realize bears are much stronger than I am so I just get back to work a little more inspired and wiser.

So. Damn. True. Only when BMR and ALN fell did I start to even learn what real internet marketing/SEO is. Got a long way to go but I know so much more now than I did a year ago.

I think that was a wake up call for a lot of people.

I really like this gif.

Terrific thread, G, worthy of the 10k post. Since you're here to stay you can start thinking about your 20k post thread in advance. Good luck!
PS: +1 for Taleb and Mark Twain

Taleb did an AMA today. If I make 20k posts here, someone pls kill me. I have 10k+ on a few forums, but not 20k on any of them.

love u bruh

Love you too easy E.

Strong 10k post G. Thanks.

Thanks Brad.

I don't know where my life would be right now without Guerilla. He's been a mentor, friend, and business partner. He really changed my perspective on business and life.

Thanks Nick.

The Takeaway: Learn to see past your own delusional thinking in order to perceive reality clearly and create shortcuts, and quit hanging around negative, pessimistic, crabs-in-a-bucket assholes.

Negative people really suck. They don't realize how much energy they take away from people around them.

thanks for your contributions to the community

I am sure I am not the only one that would love to see a pic of one of those fans. Care to share?

I don't really have many good pics left, but this is what I could dig up

So what we have on the right is a grill I drew up in CAD and would get laser cut from like .200" Stainless Steel, then I would sandblast them to hide the scratches in the steel, and to make the finish uniform. Sort of a gun metal gray finish.

The one on the right was a second edition grill I made. I sent them out of town to get powdercoated, where they bake an enamel onto them. same sort of enamel process they use on the handles of some power tools.

The second edition sets came with washers to lift the grills of the case, and screws, which would go through the case and into the fans, pulling the whole lot together. The powdercoated ones were from regular 1040 steel and would rust if they weren't kept oiled until powdercoating.

These weren't my best product by volume or margin, but I do wish I had been able to sell more. I had a few more designs made, and hardcore case builders liked them because they were fairly unique. Most fan grills were made in China in bulk from pot metal you could bend by hand. These ones were sturdy enough you could throw one like a ninja star and really fuck up the person you were throwing it at.

Don't know about this, man. I always meet this kind of "surround yourself with successful people" advice with some antagonism. Sure, it's important with whom you associate professionaly, but your real fiends, the ones you grew up with, the true ones, are much more important. No matter where you aspire to get or how successful you are, never forget where you come from. That's my perspective.

It's not about surrounding yourself with winners per se. Surround yourself with people who have character. People who aspire to be better. People who have positive momentum in their life. People who can push you to be better. People who support you when you take big chances and follow crazy dreams.

People who are negative, pessimistic and hypercritical simply make your life harder, and I feel like I can almost guarantee you will not be worse off for leaving them behind.

You can keep your "true friends" but if they are losers, why are you still friends with them? Sentiment? Is anyone benefiting from this arrangement? Are you?

Food for thought.

Glad you're back.

I don't know about back. I don't really have a lot to say (couple threads to respond to), I have been around though. I know I am not interested in posting in any threads made by Pewep or Dresden, or about Ryan Eagle.

Loving the "straight out of Windsor" tag. I am hoping that was UG.

 

[knownerror]

We're not done working together either, if you're still game.

Still game, ping me whenever you want. Just note I finally created some work of my own

Glad to see you posting again. Missed ya! Congrats on 10k!

I really don't have a lot to say about the last 6 years...

FML. Out of your whole post, this caught me off guard. Time goes by way too fast.

Just re-read my last post, typical multifail where I am trying to do 10 things at once.

The powdercoated grills are obviously on the left.

And Flatline, I may take you up on that offer of fruit from your orchard if I come visit.
