Damn - I thought I was the only one to delete it. No one hits me up though (cue the violins.) I just got tired of seeing all the virtue signaling.

 

on average I had
- 5 book sales people per month  (like wtf, who cares what eguide or book you have self published)
- 2 recruitment consultants per week (not for me, they want to ask whether I have anyone to recruit)
- at least 1 message per week from random people who I have never met, mostly from India with some cryptic name
- then, of course, tons of messages from LinkedIn to join their premium plan so my life can finally improve. yeah, right.

 

Am I the only one here who finds GaryV kinda endearing? He tries so hard to sell his way of living and I have to respect that. He is atleast putting his money where his mouth is, he really is the ADHD-riddled hustler he claims to be - from how many famous people can you say that?

...and the Truth shall set you free

Mark Ross is the first one who comes to mind, also anyone who makes a post on Bright Network; if it pops up on my feed they get blocked.
