For my current one, no. Fire service hiring is based on certifications and connections. Degrees are unnecessary except for fire chief positions.
The job I want is in contract management for military bases. I’m sure the school would point me in the right direction to use the MBA for the same purpose outside of government work.
I’ve been working on my second class since Thursday. I watched the Know to Pass video 3 times, went through a few chapters, and took the practice test at the end of the textbook. The test was incredibly difficult but I still got an 80%.
The school requires the student to pass a pre-assessment before taking the final. I took the pre-assessment and it was incredibly easy compared to the textbook pre-test I took. I wonder if they did that on purpose so students will over prepare.
I scheduled the final for tomorrow afternoon. I’ll report how I do.
I passed the human resource class with high marks in everything except ethics. The next class I’m taking is management communications. The workload doesn’t seem bad. I’ll be able to do this class in less than a week.
My goal is to finish the remaining writing courses (ethics and marketing) before the end of the month. That way I can focus on accounting and corporate financial management. I have a math phobia so I want to give myself enough time to learn everything and understand the concepts. One thing that does make me feel better is that I’m allowed to use a business calculator for both math classes.
If there are any guys who work in accounting on the forum and have some good resources I would be greatful for any tips/advice.
I’m enjoying school. I’m plowing through it, but I’m still learning good concepts when it comes to business. My advisor told me I remind her of an unstoppable freight train because I show no signs of slowing down.
On Monday, I called into work because my kids weren’t feeling well. I figured most of the day would be sitting around. But instead, I used it to my advantage. I wrote a 12-page essay and recorded a five-minute presentation on the scenario I chose for the report. That finished off Management Communication.
I’m in Marketing now. The class isn’t challenging but requires much more research. Only one assignment is due for this, and it’s a 10 to 12-page essay. I have to create a marketing plan for two products and sell them to a country outside of America. That is where the research came in. I looked up trending products in Asian countries. I went with a bread maker and a pasta maker. The essay has been fun because I can make up some of the data. I have to mention legitimate ways a company would get that data, such as surveys, focus groups, and data mining.
In my last post, I mentioned I have a math phobia. That subsided a bit. I took a webinar that covered all the different problems I would see in Accounting. As the instructor showed me how to solve the issues, I did the math along with the explanation. Each time I finished, I thought, this makes sense. It was a big confidence boost for me. I think Virtuoso di Matematica is also helping my confidence issues here.
I went to the class yesterday. I met the guy in charge of hiring. We chatted for a bit, and he told me to email him my resume. He also mentioned that I don’t need an MBA; he said all I need is a bachelor’s. That is good to know, but I’m going to hold off on applying. I have so much momentum toward my MBA, and I want to finish that before making significant career changes. I’m taking this route because he told me the training at the job is challenging.
I had some excellent manifestations from the business custom.
The first one involved getting a bonus at work. I got a good amount (over a thousand) and time off. The time off is great and is enough to take an entire week off.
The second manifestation came in the form of overtime. I am a desk job employee for the fire department now but am still allowed to work on shift if I take a forced overtime for someone. One guy got forced on a Sunday. I knew it would be a slow and easy day, so I took it.
School-wise, things are going well. I am in accounting now. It wasn’t as bad as I built it up to be. I’ve been learning as much as I can about financial statements and how to read them. I’m learning a lot and plan to finish the class this week.
Aside from the excellent money manifestations, I’ve been experiencing incredible recon from the business custom. Every day I listened to it, I found myself angry and upset about being at work. At first, I thought it was just a bad day kind of thing, but then I realized that this pattern of anger and a disappointment that I haven’t pursued any entrepreneurial ventures happened every morning I would listen to the custom. I even tried listening to the custom at 5 minutes, and it did help lessen the amount of time the recon lasts, but it is still there.
I need to figure something out with this. I wonder if dropping to 3 minutes will help. Also, I think Mountain Breaker is why I’m feeling such a strong push. I have been tracking things. I’ll write down business ideas and look to see if it is a viable option. The one that I like the most is a pressure washing business. There is currently no competition for this in the town I live in.
Currently on my second washout for the Stark and QLST4 custom. I’m going to put my business custom on the side for now because the recon from it was way too much.
A week before the washout I ordered a 10-module custom with Spartan and WANTED. I listened to two loops before my washout. No recon from either loop.
Here is the custom:
WANTED Core
Spartan ZP Core
Extreme Exercise Motivation
Apollon
Sexiness Unbound
APS: Torso
APS: Arms
SPS: Fat Burner
Deep Sleep
DEUS
I wanted to address my body composition issues. I keep yoyo dieting. Regardless of how much weight I lose I still find myself unattractive. That’s the main reason I went with WANTED, Apollon, and Sexiness Unbound.
School Stuff
I finished my accounting class. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. I spent two weeks learning all the concepts and calculations I needed to know.
I’m currently in ethics. Going well so far. I’ve done 2 of the three essays. Next up is corporate financial management which covers everything needed for internal accounting concepts.
Same here jayvee, my entire life i have been obese. Wanted has me eating less, eating healthy consistently over the months. First time i have cleanly and healthy dropped my weight and stayed there without much effort or craving. Matter of fact i lost desire for sugary foods.
To our success 
Hi. Any updates with the school, business custom, trading custom (especially with inflation times) ? Have you checked out any of the new releases here?
I’ve been listening to the school custom for three months now. Things are going well. I’m more than halfway done with my MBA.
I haven’t listened to the trading custom or business custom for a while. I want to focus on school and get back into options trading once I’m done.
I’ve been listening to my Spartan and WANTED custom. Doing fasting and got an exercise bike. I enjoy it. Although my legs and butt were extremely sore the first week of using it. One thing I found to keep me motivated was virtual challenges. They are cheesy but fun. I like that I get an actual medal for meeting a milage requirement. The company I’ve been using has a Lord of the Rings challenge that requires a ton of miles and comes with an actual ring to put in the medals. It’s insanely nerdy and I want it. 
I have. I got Paragon Sleep. Also, the custom rebuild deal was too good to pass up. I bought an update of the first Ultima I bought a year ago.
I know I haven’t updated in a while, been busy with school and got tired off all the drama that was happening on the forum a couple of months ago.
How are you doing? What are you listening to these days?
I am nearing the end of my ZP Custom + Mind’s Eye + Rebirth ZP stack. Final listening day tomorrow (around day 48 or something of the stack) then a washout. More details to come.
For a future stack, I had plans of either:
With the latest Love Bomb for Humanity title that is out, it is likely I will go with Custom + LBH.
It sounds like school and the custom with it is treating you well. Paragon Sleep makes sense for those times you need to stay up for HW.
With crypto it is just sideways action mostly. I am doing a mix of accumulating and waiting on sidelines.
Out of curiousity, how did this Ultima rebuild turn out? Is it one core and five modules into ZP format?
Not sure yet, I’ll listen to it when I’m done with my washout. It was a total of 6.
It may end up being too much, I’ll listen for 5 minutes to start and go from there. Here is the list of everything in it:
I had excellent results and listened to the ultima for a while. I’ll see how it goes with ZP.
I only listened twice before my washout and had good results. Slept well the nights I listened to it. It felt like I took some sleeping pills. I’m an early riser and I slept in after listening to it.
Right. It was that Ultima custom, I remember now. I’d be interested in how it goes with ZP too.
It’s been a while since I’ve done an in-depth update here. My MBA program has been taking up most of my time. Over the last three months, I’ve been studying non-stop. I initially wanted to see if I could finish the program in 6 months. I’m currently in the last class before the capstone and have twelve weeks remaining for this semester, so I am well ahead of schedule.
The custom I made for school has greatly impacted my ADD. I can harness and align my focus on whatever topic I need to study. Initially, I was nervous about math. I had to take an accounting, high-level financial management, and statistics course. I breezed through them, although financial management took me the longest (a month). There were like 30 different equations I had to learn along with learning to use a BAII business calculator. The custom helped me feel more confident in these areas. Instead of seeing these tough topics as a hurdle, I dove in, learned all I could, and powered through.
I plan to finish economics next week, and then I’ll be in the capstone. I’m trying to figure out what to do after I graduate. I have been looking at remote management jobs or the contracting job I mentioned when I started the degree. I like my current job but hate driving to work; my commute is an hour each way.
I’ve even considered taking a pay cut and working as a mentor/counselor at the school I’m going to. You are an accountability system for students and help them stay on course. I would enjoy that.
@hyperbeam I ran the custom with three cores for one cycle. I did a 5 minute listening time to play it safe. No recon, lots of productivity, and a general bloom feeling for a day or two after listening.
The Spartan/Wanted custom was great. I did three cycles of that. I’m still fasting and using my exercise bike. I mentioned working on some online distance virtual challenges. I’m currently doing a Florida Keys challenge. Here are a couple of pictures of the two I completed.
Here is the first medal:
Here is the second:
Overall, life is good. Yesterday I ordered an updated, lighter version of my trading custom. I took out HoM and replaced it with Ascended Mogul. My reasoning is that I want to focus on wealth generation and have more self-belief. I still struggle with confidence and self-doubt, especially when it comes to trading. My past pattern, after a couple of losing trades, involved me going into analysis paralysis for months. I’m hoping Ascended Mogul will help me with my confidence issues with trading and help me be more consistent. I also removed some of the modules to narrow the focus. My goal is to pick up options trading and crypto trading once I’m done with school. I’ve been reading Think and Trade Like a Champion by Mark Minervini when I have some extra time, and it is an incredible book on trading and risk management. I highly recommend it.
Here is the full custom:
Good to see you, man. And such great results too!
Congrats on the medals 
Good to see you too. Congratulations on becoming a forum embassador. Saint and Fire chose a good group to represent the forum. I like the idea.
What are you listening to these days? How have you been?
Thanks bro 
Am doing excellent.
Currently my stack is DR + Khan + GLM. Will be done with the first cycle of DR ST1 + Khan ST1 + GLM today. So far so good.
A very good result for you and from the custom.
Rich Crypto Core + Marketweaver is a great combo. I found it to be great in Qv2, most likely even better in ZP. Intuition Enhancer is a nice add on for the trading custom.
How do you find the DEUS module? It is the one module I am unsure of in putting in my customs.
Hi @JayFlex. Kinda bumping this journal. What stuff are you running these days? Any ZP Experimentals you trying out?
I’m done with my MBA, so I dropped my Stark/QLST4 custom and have been running the updated trading custom solo. It’s been great. I’ve been buying put options, I had three good trades and 1 bad one so far. The bad taught me a valuable lesson. So far, I’ve been buying in-the-money options, I bought an out-of-the-money put option, and it did not go my way.
I’m taking my time to learn. I’ve been scanning the markets on Saturday and Sunday. Then I keep a watchlist; I’ll make a trade based on that watchlist if the current trend continues. My confidence in trading is getting better. I realize that the trend is my friend and to use good risk management. Tastyworks has a good feature that lets you set up a bracket trade. That way, I start the trade with a stop loss and a profit target set.
In crypto, I’ve been staying small. Seeing small returns. I got into DYDX recently. It looked good for a short-term swing trade on the charts. Other than that, I’m sitting on the sidelines. Crypto has been in a bear market for a year. I’m hesitant to put more in, especially with the current financial climate. I bought a course pack by Rekt Capital. I like the way the guy covers market cycles and stays unbiased.
I haven’t tried any of the experimentals. I thought I saw Saint say he was going to release an experimental of HOM. If he does, I’ll try that out. Until that happens, I’ll keep using the trading custom, it’s working well so far. 
How about you, @hyperbeam, what are you listening to?
Congrats on finishing the MBA first of all. I’m sure HOM helped a bit along with the custom.
Put options I see. The watchlist idea is nice. Do you use Tradingview (free ver)?
I have heard of DYDX the crypto (not the math derivative). Ethereum network tokens easier to transact with the lower fees after the Merge.
Rekt Capital hmm. Interesting name lol. I currently do use crypto courses, just a bit of Youtube.
I am with my ZP custom still with HOM and LBFH. Tried the experimental LBFH version yesterday. Recon got activated several hours after my listen during work. Some things irked me at work. (I am ok today).
