    Passion vs. Self-Discipline

    MINDSET 
    Self-discipline anytime. Simply because a lot of successful people created their passion through self-discipline in the first place unknowingly. Passion is an emotionally driven process, you love it. You feel strongly about something. So what happens when bad things start to happen...

    Just bought physical silver!

    INVESTING 
    I second RyanDrake's post. If there's one way of putting this act into a simplified description, it's this: It's like buying a limited edition collectible figurine and hoping in due time the price will appreciate over a rather long period. -It's a great hobby if you have extra money to 'park'...

    Blue or red pill?

    MINDSET 
    Great points! Self-help materials, particularly the feel-good ones when placed in the wrong hands can lead anyone down the slippery slope of self-deception and ego-boosting; thinking, believing and justifying to themselves that they are better than everyone else just because they have read a...

    Since reading the book, how many have become successful?

    Pretty much summarized to "Do or do not... there is no try." Master Yoda. From my experience of close to 6 months now, the biggest challenge for me was to move away from my old peers; most of them will have something to say about you thinking different. I've since kept very quiet around them...

    Your First 100 Million by Dan Pena

    BOOKS 
    It's every man for himself huh, I have friends who allow themselves to be held back by their girlfriends and wives. There's a part in Dan's book where he advised those planning on making the quantum leap dream to reconsider their relationship with their spouses on whether they will contribute or...

    Your First 100 Million by Dan Pena

    BOOKS 
    Well said, I know a few wealthy self-made individuals who are where I want to be in life; but I noticed a disturbing similarity among them, their relationship with their wives are not exactly great. Any thoughts on this?

    Your First 100 Million by Dan Pena

    BOOKS 
    Just read it as well, it's brimming with insights and some examples that you can refer to when the time is right. To each his own, he made a decision and he lived with the consequences. I feel for him when I read that he was divorced by his wife. To get wealthy beyond recognition is one thing...

    Getting kicked out of the house.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The way I see it is that there are a lot of tough love going on here. Hence the laughter posts etc. Think of them as your buddies kicking your a$$ as motivation. At any rate, we're all headed to the same place. 6 feet under, no one's better than anyone really. Just do what you gotta do. I'd say...

    Since reading the book, how many have become successful?

    You are on point there Razvan, I've found that after almost 6 months of aggressive action towards understanding business and what it takes to succeed; I've learned more than I possibly could had I stayed in a 925. It is not necessarily easy as trying to forge a fastlane involves a lot of trial...

    Since reading the book, how many have become successful?

    The book will become a best-seller, that's a given considering the depth of the content MJ has put together. But since it's barely one year old, many I believe are all in the middle of their forging process and it's a place not for the faint hearted. It depends on where a person starts too. For...

    Getting kicked out of the house.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Doesn't matter what age you are. As long as you do something about it, it's never too late. Speaking from personal experience, that will be the best damned thing that will have ever happened to you ;) So suck it up, it's fun out there. More opportunities for you to be creative, the world is...

    Fastlane MUST READ Article – How to Get into Any Industry

    Ditto on deSeingalt's reply. I was having thoughts about how to build a bridge over to the other side where the Superstars are at, especially taking into serious consideration Eben's advice on 'making a commitment to only spend time with Superstars on various industries' in order to begin...

    I have 3 life goals... I've given myself 6 months to accomplish

    You are headed in the right direction, so keep it going! I'm working on self-reliance too since Jan 2011, though my list is quite the upside down (self-reliance -> financial freedom - self-confidence) compared to yours but I have noticed that it feeds on one another. I wish you all the best...
