i'd say that it is not necessarily governed by it. it could be, if you want it to be. or not. its that flexibility that defines it, more than anything else, imo.

i always felt that "lifestyle business" implied a business that not only was bootstrapped, but also wasn't really high growth/pressure. something that you could do to make a living and spend your time however you like, not something you pu

i felt they apologized rather well. its difficult to apologize and explain what happened at the same time without sounding like you're making excuses or trying to skirt responsibility.

sounds like he just doesn't enjoy his profession and is annoyed by those who do.

certainly true, but they did pay a firm that was known to be edgy and envelope pushers. when you ride that line, someone has to police it.

i'm less interested in this link. i'd be more interested in the details behind how this guy got this going, what he's doing, and how well its performing.

there's a balance to be struck. just like some people work a day job to fund their side projects or bootstrapped startups, some people are going to need to do a little hustle to help fund their more interesting but less profitable passions

having done crossfit and workouts similar to the ones planned in the article, i disagree. crossfit does make use of some of the principles outlined in the article, yes. but you could say that about almost any workout scheme, including 20lb
