Hey Vic,
Thanks to this blog, I decided to start a business. I dont trust anyone else to make my content, and I like to do things myself. How do I know if/when I need to hire help?
Cheers
How to dress (smart) for serious business?
Full guide to look like a billionaire by Victor Pride.
Recommendations of suits, watches etc. What to pay attention to. What brands? Where to source high quality clothes?
That’s a kind of post I’m looking forward for.
I dig that actually!
I read an article once on how billionaires dress, they’re very sedentary in their attire and dress very plain, more often than not just jeans and a plain shirt, maybe a jacket, sometimes a suit if they’re to be in the public eye. I know of one guy who just wears a navy suit, white shirt and a red tie..
What kind of relationship should a boss have with employees and interns? I feel as if they start to take advantage if you are too friendly with them, but if you are cold and too professional they do not approach you and are reluctant to ask for help or to inform you about bad news.
Okay Victor, since you said we can ask anything:
How do you move out of your parents’ house, if you’re a 23 year old college dropout and only lasted 2 weeks at the one and only job you’ve ever had? Also in this case, you don’t have your own room at your parents’ house, and your computer got moved to the living room where your family watches TV 24 hours a day.
I know the answer is just “Get a job, save money, move out”.
Still, is there more you can add to that answer? Or do you have a different answer entirely?
Since you’re completely against the 9-5, should a budding young man in my situation just build a business until it makes enough money for him to move out of his parents’ place and get his own apartment? Btw since I’m in the living room, I have one tiny spot there and I have to deal with nonstop noise and distractions (family watches TV 16+ hours a day, almost never turns the TV off), and focus is key to building a business, should I just bear with a job, save, move out, and build a business on the side once I have my own quiet apartment where I can really focus and get down to work?
I need you to keep questions to a 2-3 sentence maximum. Please write back in with your most pressing question and keep it to 2-3 sentences.
How to pick the right wife / how to meet shy girls part 2. Those are the greatest blog posts of all time.
Hello, Victor.
You inspired me to start a blog on BADNET which I started in summer.
Need to mention, you net covers even mother Russia. In Russia, we have so little of good blogs, so I started one to show some style.
By the way, my grandpa’s name is Victor. Russians are cool.
Bloggers in Russia are some SEO-shitheads and their posts looks like:
“To be confident man you should think like a confident man. As a confident man, I can tell that confident man is a man the is confident enough”. You get it. But this guys killed SEO and I don’t know how to overrank them. I want to use storytelling and treat my blog as art.
I have about 15 posts and I have experienced some troubles with blogging. One by one:
1. Blogger’s block
Recently I stumbled across my blog and realize I can’t write a post. I sit there, don’t quit, but the words won’t come out.
I work out 6 days a week like a spartan, read books and don’t waste my time on media shit. I keep it simple and spartan, so my block doesn’t derive from absense of testosterone or overloading of media shit.
My GF says I should distract and to relax and then go back to work. But honestly, I write less and less because of this block, and one thing I know for sure: it WILL NOT get better if I work even less.
Paraphrasing you from BOAS: “The less you write the BETTER you become and the more you write the WORSE you become? NO. The opposite is true.”
2. Writer’s inhibition
Before I even started my blog, I read much material about writing and there is some shit that doesn’t let me go on. I read about straightforwardness in writing and keeping it simple.
But I don’t know how to know in the process if I write the best and valuable words and people enjoy my point of view, or I just get too involved in details and readers will think “he is overexplaing and chattering\q”.
As a part of inhibition, I feel like I repeat myself. And this is where you are the killer. Almost all of your articles are about the same topic: be big and healthy, be internet entrepreneur. I realise that your posts repeat themselves too, but this realisation doesn’t stop me from sincerely enjoying every your new article, even if it’s the same old song you sing every time. This is a magic, man. How?
3. How to know if I write valuable things?
Describing my situation as a newbie, I have 0-10 blog views per day. I don’t know if people love to read my words or it’s just crap. At least I design my site the best I can, thanks you and Genesis Framework.
I don’t have ads and other shit on my site, pure writing. I am wiilling to endure and write as long as it takes, but how to know if it is not going in vain?
4. Networking and gaining popularity
I read Spartan Entrepreneur and it’s pure gold. Victor, could you tell a few more words about networking?
Because: we don’t have cool blogs to cooperate and work with, only the SEO-spammers, which I don’t want to network with. Only one If I am gonna make it in Russia, I should do it by myself. We don’t have forums with like-minded killers that would love to see great work. The only thing we have is poor analog of quora.com. How to network without your american opportunities?
5. I would love to read a post from you with revies of blogs you like, except ironandtweed and dangerandplay. Have you ever heard of markmanson.net? This guy does full-color work for sure.
6. Just wanted you to see the collision of american-russian cultures in rap-battle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldK9qvRBkMI
Our russian guy is fucking sick. He killed your american guy IN ENGLISH.
7. Have you ever heard of long-tail keywords, or it is SEO crap real blogger should not worry about?
Thank you for attention. You inspire me and you are real artist. Thank you for your great work.
I need you to keep questions to a 2-3 sentence maximum. Please write back in with your most pressing question and keep it to 2-3 sentences.
Hey Vic,
I’m a slim guy naturally. I have a very fast metabolism. I would like to put on a few pounds but my work schedule makes it very difficult. I would also like to do it the healthy way and not eat a lot of junk foods. I can’t drink those weight gain drinks because they make me sick. Do you have any advice??
I have a busy schedule and I’m looking for a healthy way to gain weight without eating junk. Any advice??
Hey Victor,
I hope you’re doing well. Do you implement TRT on a continous basis or do you cycle it? I’ve done 6 weeks on 6 weeks off before, but recently read TRT doesn’t really work like that and is more of a permanent strategy.
Thanks my man.
Frank
1. How to overcome writer’s block as a blogger and be confident that your words are valuable?
2. Russia doesn’t have cool blogs and forums. What are your network advice for all foreign bloggers? May be there are more ways to network than in Spartan Entrepreneur.
3. How to keep myself motivated to write if I am beginner and have no audience feedback?
How to design a Great Life rather than just make a livin’.
finally! bought it and will arrive next week! hoho! :D
Congratulation for launching another book victor!
I would love a blog post about:
“Giving yourself full permission to get obsessed. To go all in. Not just talking but truly walking the walk by going all in on your obsession.”
How to Network and find like-minded men in your city when you’re surrounded by weaklings everywhere, and there are no forums/online platforms of specifically for the location you’re at?
How to become the leader of the pack?
I wrote almost the same question. Hope Vic will answer us.
This is a question that I’m sure is troubling many men out there. I know people from different places and they all have the same problem of finding like-minded men. In Montreal (where I am) it’s very hard.
Great blog by the way, I went through it with Google Translate.
That’s a great question. Even finding serious musicians to form a band with is a pain in the ass. Everyone is so unmotivated
Finally! B&D Everyday is what I needed in my life.
Victor,
I’m 46, with a wife, 3 kids, and an ex wife. I make a very good financial living but as you can imagine, my expenses are through the roof. I’d like to save more for retirement and would like to get multiple income streams going. Thanks in advance for your insight.
Frank
How do you write about the same topics and keep it fresh?
Topic: Affirmations.
You touch on affirmations in your article on becoming an early bird. (https://boldanddeterminedarchive.com/how-to-wake-up-early-everyday/)
“I’m an early bird. I like waking up early. That’s when I get the most work done. It doesn’t matter if it’s true now. The more you say it the more it will become reality.”

Happy Halloween Victor!
I see myself making progress in life but it’s like I’m walking very slowly, I wonder if there’s anything I can do to get great results in a short amount of time. (Business, gym, women etc)
Hello Victor,
Without Bold and Determined, I’ll probably be the same guy who has no motivation and direction in life. Your posts serves as an encouragement to keep moving even if things get tough. So thank you Vic. All the best for you and B&D!
About suggesting a topic:
I think it will be interesting if you share something about decision making. Specifically how do you make decisions, especially in high risk situations. What principles do you follow? What factors do you consider?
Best regards,

Speaking as a complete natural, what are your tips to get the most benefit out of Red-PCT when it comes to the gym?
What are things that you see brands like Calm&Collected and Business&Bullets doing correctly that new blog artists should pick up on?
Hey Rich. You could ask on the redsupplements.com forum and you might get more responses from some of the guys.
As far as C&C thats one of the sites along with this one that got me started blogging. Would be great if he posted on what hes doin!
One simple questions
1) Did you work (or worked in past) on your blog SEO, or you just try to write great content & wait to visitors come.
Can you talk about pop culture and how you feel it affects men? So many millenials seem to be obsessed with pop culture. Thanks
Tim
Hello Vic, thank you for your great job. I think it will be interesting if you share something about the importance of a positive mindset to win at life. A lot of people have a negative mindset and I think it’s the number one problem to everyone who wants to have a great life.
Cheers
Hey Vic. my question is: Which skill would you advise a young man who doesn’t have anything going for him to learn and start a life for himself? and I mean the one you would learn assuming you are the young man. Thanks
How do you promote your blog/business before you have a following without using social media?

I would like for you to write about different ways to invest & making your money grow & work for you. Thank you.
Victor, please talk about your thoughts on WW Atkinson, favorite works by him possibly, or on being a man in a world of manginas.
On a side note my great grandfather held many acres of land in a small mountainous village of the balkans, among the rest of my relatives on Ma’s side. Nearing the end of WW2 the dirty mongoloid communists installed their feeble political system and told him he was to split up his land numerous ways to other farmers. Being the MAN among Men he was, he resisted and they arrested (beat) and sent him to jail (read gulag) across the country some 700 clicks northeast. 3 years after imprisonment in the early winter they release him in rags and barefoot. He makes his way back on foot and hitches on horse buggies to the village on the other side corner of the country and regains his land after months of trek back, he has since the greatest respect among the countrymen of his homeplace. True story, his name in my language means the immortal. He lived to the early 100s and he was 2 metres tall farm jacked thick beast of a man. Just wanted to share with you and others some motivation, you can’t stop a MANS self belief (spirit). Do your farmers walks boys.
Great story!

Hey Vic,
As always, love all your writing and keep up the awesome work!
Quick question:
A looong time ago I remember reading a comment on one of your articles (can’t find which one, though) where someone suggested that you compile all your articles and sell it as a book, to which you replied “why would I sell content that people can get for free?”
Genuinely curious, what caused you to change your mind?
Im not complaining but i thought there were to be 30 days of blogs. I have only seen 2 so far. Thank you, have a good day.
