    Average IQ of a Fastlane Millionaire?

    MINDSET 
    Look up Mensa. Their members are everything from truck drivers to CEO's. I think you will find the financial gains (as IQ increases) to be minimal. You really don't see income mentioned anywhere.

    Mizuno ran an ad 20+ years ago that only said "If you are going to hit the ball, then hit the damn ball!" I would love to hear their thoughts on words like "fargiveness". Just awful.

    What if you modified this image to "I reached out to XYZ trucking company because I saw several of their existing trucks in the shop over at ABC repairs. I have a perfect truck on the lot right now that would get them back on the road and making money".

    Walk outside. Look around. Add up the value of the houses, cars, land etc. that you see. Millions...everywhere you look. You almost can't "not" see it. One of the issues you will face as an artist is you will always be creating...rarely profiting. Use your experience as an entrepreneur to...

    Panic Attacks & Entrepreneurship (a Blessing In Disguise?)

    MINDSET 
    It happened to me in 2021. Exactly as you described. It was so life altering (at least near term) that it was (and is) hard to get a grasp on. After my episode I experienced what I would describe/envision as PTSD. This feeling peaked in 2022 and has diminished somewhat as I write this. I credit...

    IMPORTANT! 
    I think this is a great idea to limit noise on the forum. I don't post very often due to wading through large volumes of low value posts. Thank you MJ and thanks to our moderators for keeping this front and center.

    Construction equipment rental business

    IDEA 
    I think it is a great business. I have 3 pieces of equipment that I rent as a sidebar to my other businesses. I make about $3k/month profit with almost no work.

    Hello @MTF, very thought provoking thread, thank you! I always like reading your posts regardless of topic. I have a few years under my belt so I have wrestled with a lot of these topics. I don't necessarily wake up REALLY excited but its pretty close. All of us have bad days and even years but...

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    You may find it helpful to start thinking longer term. For instance, in your opening post I don't see the see the value you are providing your customers or the reason you are doing what you do. Don't take this personally but it screams of "money chasing". A more value focused approach would...

    If I can expand on this a little. I think the real way to make this work is to actually buy/start a business brokerage. You get to pick the cream of the crop businesses before they hit the market. I vetted a few and may do it one day.

    1. I would counsel myself (basically what MJ's books do) to find a way out of the JOB and into ownership as quickly as prudent. Second "stop worrying" thing would be to not keep considering a JOB (as the backup plan) for the rest of your life. 2. I saved up $30k from my Architecture business to...

    Yes, in Florida there is a huge shortage. Biggest I have seen in my life. "Affordable" housing is non-existent. It can't really happen now without subsidies (which are few and far between). On most homes I average 13% profit. The problem is that it takes me the same amount of effort for a...

    I built a spec home building business. It was pretty successful, so much that I built out all the lots I owned/purchased. I believe MJ was saying that if I still was selling at that rate and in this climate I would be a billionare. I didn't close the business but switched to custom builds...
