    I'm married and have a 1yr old son. And I'm not even 20 yet! Looking for advice!

    INTRO 
    As many have said, start reading and digging deep. I was almost dead broke just over 8 years ago, but things are very different for me now. I would suggest that you start building up some additional streams of revenue - which will get your mind thinking differently. It will take time to lay the...

    Accelerating out of the slow lane

    MINDSET 
    I've been using Faster, Fairer Loans for Your Big Ideas | Plenti and locked in quite a few 5 year loans at 8% interest. So far I haven't had any defaults on any of the loans I've written. One of the strategies I used was to write lots of small loans i.e. $100 a piece. They also had an IPO last...

    Accelerating out of the slow lane

    MINDSET 
    I'm currently working as a Program Director implementing a CRM and about half my income is coming from Real Estate, Dividends, YouTube and P2P lending. Moving forward, I'm keen to get into leasing out equipment and think there's a lot of opportunities in that space. I believe that the Lambo in...

    Accelerating out of the slow lane

    MINDSET 
    Hi there, I have been reading (listening) to MJ's new book and really enjoying it. Over the last 8 years, I have increased my annual income more than 12 fold, from about $44k to $550k+. About 4 years ago, I set myself a target of making $520k per year ($10k per week) which I've just achieved...

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Hi there Andy Black - thanks for your comments and questions. Essentially it all started with a book which was given to my dad by a friend of his. This friend (Rex) used to be the janitor in a mental institution in the 1950s and 60s. In his mid 30s he bought a book called 'The Magic of Thinking...

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    My first sale was about 20 years ago at the age of 11. I used to wash my Dad's car for 50c (because that's all he could afford) and I remember saying to myself "this is going to take forever to become a millionaire" So I knocked on my neighbour's front door and said "Hello there, could I please...

    Transitioning to Unscripted Lifestyle

    MINDSET 
    @ZCP thanks for the support! I like your suggestion of starting with a small but achievable goal and highlighting the fact that in the meantime, you make a little cash and LEARN a LOT. I've successfully used this goal setting technique in the past, where I keep ratcheting up the size of the...

    Transitioning to Unscripted Lifestyle

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for the warm welcome MJ and thanks for your excellent books - which I've read and listened to many times! Luckily I'm starting from zero debt, but ultimately I don't have any passive income beyond some dividends and a YouTube channel. I've looked at purchasing franchises in the past...

    GOLD! 
    "I could technically retire with this sale and my existing assets already, but entrepreneurship is like a disease and plan on never formally retiring. I like to think businesses are the adult version of LEGO". I love this quote! It's essentially like building the model after you've followed the...
