    New To Blogging Some Advice

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    In my experience, the more crowded the niche, the slower the initial progress. This particular niche is among the hardest to get started in (read: hard, not impossible). If you keep writing, learning, and improving, there is space for you to carve out a corner. When people ask "how long does...

    What was your first "cash flow positive asset?"

    This is similar to what I did to get my first passive flow coming in. It took me one week to write each book, I wrote 14 and published them all under different names (different niches) on Amazon. That was six years ago, and has made me almost $10K since then. I had/have done many other...

    What did you do today?

    EXECUTION

    Is todays education wrong??

    HOT! 
    I agree with you 100%. Most US kids are getting a terrible education. The average SAT scores for the county where we live (just reading and math) are 470 and 448. Taxpayers are getting an extremely poor return on investment. We are able to spend almost no money, invest little time, and get...

    Is todays education wrong??

    HOT! 
    Exactly! We love this. We do year-round school, since we like to travel a lot. We can take days off whenever we want to. I let my daughter go out of the country (where they also speak another language!) for three months last year to stay with a relative just because it was a good opportunity...

    Is todays education wrong??

    HOT! 
    We homeschool, too. I've got three kids in homeschool right now, and it's great. It's freaking amazing as far as a schedule goes. Before, we had one kid in public school, one kid in a charter school, and another kid in a magnet school. So we were driving around all morning, and spending like...

    The one and only fasting video you need to see.

    HEALTH 
    Let's hope that this doesn't happen :) Thanks for posting this. I've been curious about fasting lately, as I recently heard a radio interview with a nutritionist who does it regularly.

    100 Brown Cents To $8000

    EXECUTION 
    Don't get stuck on this part. Throw something together, and give yourself a hard deadline (i.e. this weekend) to move past this. Yeah, they might look you up after a phone call, but don't let this obstacle get so big in your head that you don't actually make those phone calls. You can always...

    What's a good part time job so that one can focus on fast-lane activities?

    EXECUTION 
    100% agree with this. My life hack when I was a server/bartender back in the day was to make DAILY trips to the bank to deposit my cash. Seriously, without fail, go to the bank every day (the days after you work) and put your money in the bank. It's way too easy to just grab wads of cash to...

    INTRO 
    Take the job. You'll learn a TON, and after a few years, you'll have some cash to start your own thing, some ideas, and some experience to make it work Good luck! It sounds like a good opportunity for someone your age.

    Is starting a business EASIER than finishing school???

    There are no similarities to school and running a business.

    Multiple Businesses

    This could totally work... if your goal is a bare minimum living wage. When I was like 20 I think I bought a book about how to do something like this. I'm definitely not bashing the idea - it's probably infinitely better than working a crappy fast food job. But most here are looking for more.

    How to promote podcasts/blog?

    MARKETING 
    Just some ideas - these might work out for your type of business. Be where your customers are! 1. Make sure your content is good. If you've had your site up for a few months and you've got good relevant content, you should be getting organic traffic (small amounts, to be sure, but enough to...

    Introduction, the Middle Lane, and the best $10 I’ve ever made

    INTRO 
    I don't know how it is there, but in the U.S., employers are supposed to pay 1.5 times the hourly rate for an hours over 40. I used to be married to someone who worked at a factory, and overtime was the gravy. So that's why some people get excited about it, since the hours worked over 40...

    To What Extent are Old Sales Books Still Relevant Today

    A great deal of marketing/sales technique and theory is based on human psychology. And while we are evolving, I'd say that good books written in the 80's would still be useful today. Information IS power. Go for it.

    2017 Fastlane Summit (Official Announcement)

    MEETUPS 
    It's great that you have been choosing to take care of yourself. You are spot-on when you say that if you don't have health, nothing else really matters much. We'll still be here when your book is launched, when you start writing articles again, and when/if you decide to launch a podcast...
