    Admitting there's a problem is the first step.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Wow - I clicked on this thread out of curiosity and am very glad I read through to the end. There are tons of lessons to be learned here, but the one I'm taking especially to heart is that THIS is why more established people are sometimes hesitant to help or advise. To me, the goings-on in...

    Short Film: "All About a Number"

    MINDSET 
    My apologies if this in the wrong forum, or if I missed it when I checked to see if it'd been posted already. The lesson here will surprise approximately no one in this forum, but I thought it was an interesting parallel to the "number" that MJ describes in TMF; this guy had his number all...

    The biggest MLM Scam of a slowlane, disguised as a 'fastlane'

    SLOWLANE 
    Somehow I've never encountered anyone trying to get me into an MLM, so when threads like this pop up I read them with a kind of morbid fascination. This American Life recently did a show about the "Wake Up Now" MLM scam, which was amazing. I couldn't remember the last time I'd been so engrossed...

    How to go from 0 to 1

    Forgive me if this is presumptive, but if you got into debt by buying things you didn't need, you might consider selling on ebay or CL. Ebay will take a fee, and you'll need to ship, but you'll get the psychological boost of having recouped at least some of your money, plus the feeling that you...

    [Free Giveaway] The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod

    BOOKS 
    I had the same reaction when I first read the book around August. I am definitely not a fan of Hal Elrod's writing skills, but the ideas in the book were compelling enough to get me to finish TMM. I was able to do it for about six weeks straight, and the results were amazing - I was able to...

    Bicycle hustling for fun and profit

    EXECUTION 
    I hope you'll keep updating this, and good job with the flipping! You mentioned that you might consider flipping furniture - YMMV depending on your location, but furniture can be pretty lucrative and low effort. I used to flip stuff that was easily cleaned and stored: display cases, bed frames...

    @HiddenCash... (Sidewalkers standing on Sidewalks, lol)

    +1 - when I saw people running full speed down the street, I heard my dad's voice in my head saying, "someone throws scraps from the table and all the idiots go running" Apparently copycats are popping up in different places - for some reason, I don't have a good feeling about this...

    @HiddenCash... (Sidewalkers standing on Sidewalks, lol)

    I was a little surprised to not see anything posted here about the "hidden cash" phenomenon going on in CA, and wanted to hear member's thoughts about it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/31/the-hidden-cash-scavenger_n_5424584.html To summarize, someone(s) in the bay area, ostensibly a...

    There's a TON of good advice in this thread - I hope the OP updates us on his or her progress!

    Is this the ultimate slowlane lifestyle?

    +1 to this - the slowlane's love of FREE has been incredibly helpful in building my ebook sales.

    [Progress Thread] Fiction Ebook

    PUBLISHING 
    Hello everyone! Another update: I just finished the 1st draft of #4 this week; by my plan up there, I'm a little behind schedule, but it's not due to total laziness. I'm dealing with what I'm sure a lot of other fastlaners encounter: a bevy of other opportunities have come up, and I'm trying not...

    [Progress Thread] Fiction Ebook

    PUBLISHING 
    A quick (although unsolicited) update: * I published book#3 recently - although it is not the next installment of the series, I linked it to my author profile. So far so good. * I made myself wait a solid day before purchasing a cover for this one - my last purchased cover was totally an impulse...

    I'm slowly going through your guide but I just wanted to let you know that it's already been very helpful and motivating! I printed it out and have put it in a binder that's always in arm's reach while at my desk.

    How to Bootstrap 2k Dollars in a Month with Craigslist

    I did this for a while too, with small pieces of furniture - I wasn't nearly as methodical as you, though, and I wish I had been. I used the money to pay for textbooks; in retrospect, it would've been more wisely spent as capital, but alas. For anyone interested, there's a nice profit margin...
