    First Fastlane Anniversary: My Biggest Lessons

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Same with Day Trading. The only guys making money with it are the ones who are writing the books about it.

    You just won a million dollars: What now?

    QUESTION 
    I invest the million dollars in growth shares (stock market). So I will have some more income from the dividends. Of course, I will still go on with the development of my start-up company, in order to go fastlane. The dividends I get will perhaps help me a little bit to fasten the whole...

    Are IQ (Smarts) and Success Correlated?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I've done IQ-tests and I have 3 very (!) different results. So how could this be? And what is the IQ of a person then? Is it a valid concept at all? I disagree with this thread, successful people are not necessarily IQ-smart. And the people on the Forbes-list are probably not in the majority of...

    9 Dream-Killing Lies You Sell Yourself...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I think we need a poll about the 9 lies: which are the most relevant ones? In my opinion it is LIE #1 and #2, but I can be wrong.

    Alcohol drinking habits

    MINDSET 
    You could drink a Cola or Pepsi instead. There is perhaps too much sugar in it, but no alcohol; and the taste may be better. You could argue that you have to support your Cola or Pepsi shares, if you have some.

    How to spend 70 000 euros in less than 9 months, being only 19 years old. My story.

    INTRO 
    Only if you really learn from your experiences. There are enough fools around who make the same mistake twice. Perhaps you went from 8 to 80 on the experience scale (not on the age scale) - so the top of the scale may be 1.000.000. There remains a lot to do and to learn.

    Business Opportunities 2023: Next Big Trends

    IDEA INVESTING 
    I love your question. An answer now is much more difficult than in the years before. There are big tensions and conflicts, US vs. China about trade and perhaps Taiwan, the war in the Ukraine and the conflict Russia against the world, the behavior of Iran and perhaps North Korea. The...

    How to spend 70 000 euros in less than 9 months, being only 19 years old. My story.

    INTRO 
    You have learned that some things in live don't work. That's painful, but on the other side these are very valuable experiences. And - believe me - you are not the only one with such experiences. Your advantage is that you've done and learned all these things and failures in a relative short...

    How to get the first clients for my software agency?

    MARKETING 
    There is a story about Henry Ford, he said: "If I ask people what they want, the answer is faster horses. But nobody want a car." (or similar) How you discover market needs is described in MJ's books. Look for not satisfied users of any products, look for complaints about products/services...

    How to get the first clients for my software agency?

    MARKETING 
    Eric, my suggestion is that you read TFM and learn the CENTS-modell. Is your agency such a CENTS-thing? I don't think so, because you don't have much control and what about the scale? So there are some fundamental issues you have to tackle when you want to go fastlane. And furthermore: just...

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

    GOLD! HOT! 
    That's an excellent argument. As a beginner you can't employ other persons, you can't spend 100k on a programmer. And there are also a lot of reasons that you couldn't outsource your programming work. How will you further develop a product, you don't understand, because you haven't programmed...

    Never got started and don't know why.

    INTRO 
    You are not alone with your struggle. Don't compare yourself with others (comparative immunity, one of the 4Ds in Unscripted). And read all the books more than only once. There is a strategy in it how to find & build a FL-business.

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

    GOLD! HOT! 
    There's more than one way to skin a cat. Every man is the architect of his own fortune! In my opinion learning how to program is an excellent idea. But of course - nobody has to. There are so many possibilities.

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read RRE again. It is much easier to read than Unscripted, but similar to TFM, and has a big fun factor when the story with the Trotmans unfolds. It is like a big case study, you can compare the Trotman's thinking and acting with the relevant principles when the story develops. The...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read it again. Unscripted (UNS) is much more difficult to read and to understand than TFM. The really interesting parts start with FL-productocracy (pull!) and then with KE, how to execute. So am I just busy or am I busy executing? Am I action faking (or an idea entrepreneur) ? The...
