You were laid off, your wife's business is in the red, and you have a baby on the way. In spite of occasionally inconsiderate guests being a drag, renting your spare room through Airbnb is the only thing bringing in steady money right now. Should you shut down the business that doesn't make money and focus on how you can make Airbnb a more sustainable and tolerable source of income? This and more on Feedback Friday!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:



  • Should you shut down your business that's in the red to focus on renting your spare room through Airbnb?

  • Given that everyone has limited time and energy, how do you decide what to pursue and what to let go of, and vet opportunities to ensure they're worth the effort?

  • What can you do to help your friend cope with the serious social anxiety that has literally driven her to drink?

  • As a recovering addict, you know following through with the attraction you feel for a fellow recovering addict would be a poorly timed mistake -- right?

  • Is it rude to offer unsolicited feedback on someone's resume when you notice room for improvement -- even when asked to share it with the people in your network?

  • Life Pro Tip: Make a checklist of things you need when traveling and stick it on your closet door (or in your phone's notes app). Every time you realize you forgot to pack something, add it to the list when you get back. It saves you time running around trying to remember what you will need each time you have to pack.

  • Recommendation of the Week: Generation Wealth
