    Getting the MOST out of Fastlane (Required Read)

    HOT! IMPORTANT! 
    It's amazing how, no matter how big or red this notice is, people still fail to read it, much less abide by it. And then after I ban them, I get hate mail or threats.

    I grew up fatherless. Andy would have been the father I wish I had.

    A 12-year-old girl walks into a bar and reads "The Script"... Her parents say: Why the long face?

    INTRO 
    Welcome aboard Jasmine from a fellow left-hander, phenomenal introduction. Is your husband on board for a better life? Or is he of the "this is life, deal with it" mentality? I spent most of my adult life in AZ and the area is rife with opportunity.

    Nothing wrong with friends who have jobs and are Slowlane... But this is a dealbreaker and a friend-ender. You don't need people in your life who don't support your growth, and instead want you chained, stagnant and kept losers like them. On the flipside, stop talking, and start doing...

    @Lex DeVille - Did you score any new pallets this week? A low effort buyer is no buyer.

    Yea, the spread ate up what would have been a 60% gain, so I wasn't planning on waiting around... the stock went down about 40% since I bought the position.

    I had to settle for a 48% gain in 2 days. Exit liquidity is pretty poor with a lot of slippage so I tried to get out earlier than I wanted.

    Cafe Franchise in Rural Areas

    IDEA 
    Interesting idea, and it would have different economics than a cafe in a city with a huge rent payment in some building. Problem is, how many customers can you serve in the middle of nowhere on a farm? @MTF would be a customer for this type of thing, maybe he can chime in.

    FEEDBACK 
    Andy Black is the founder of the Andy Black Test. There are probably 1000 posts here over the years I never posted. They died in the cache and later were buried in the void. Why? A lot of times I comment on threads and then ask before pressing POST, "Would Andy Black approve of this terse...

    Is "the Skool Game" a scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    Why can't people recognize a classic quid-pro-quo JV partnership? Once again the gurus are getting richer selling shovels to the gold miners, gold miners who don't have a nugget of content to sell. As for Skool, I don't think software is a scam, from what I hear, it is pretty decent community...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Great take, like many things on this forum, the answer is not black/white and more gray nuance. Learning to program is a great option for some folks. For others, not so much. As such, we land back at those two words, "It depends." Ultimately, learning leadership and communication is a skill...

    Coming to a big city near you! This is one of the factors that compelled me to leave Phoenix after 20 great years. I saw the writing on the wall. Mass migration, population changes (tax the rich 10% in state taxes!) traffic, political corruption, inept leaders, throw in a corrupt county / state...

    Most reactions in a 24 hour period, not rolling. Resets at the end of the day which is probably why it might not feel accurate 100% of the time.
