    Never Split The Difference, by Chris Voss

    HOT! 
    Not much need to write a review anymore, @luniac did a great job with a lot of specifics- totally agree on street vs book smarts- enjoyed a new benchmark, past "Getting to Yes." Also, the ease with which he held held his ground aginst Mnookin, head of the Harvard Negotiation Research Project...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    INVESTING HOT! 
    This. Agreed. Arguably less wise, I'm considering arranging to pay rent with a credit card going forward. It's *possible* I earn enough reward points to cover fees, but it's likely to add up about $100/yr net. Doing so to further build credit, though the idea is a bit far out and I'm still...

    That one is a THICK 676 pager from Chernow- the guy is thorough. Did you finish that one @Primeperiwinkle ? Guessing you mean business magnates, not just historical figures? If not, Isaacson did a great job with Ben Franklin, might intrigue you. See below, a couple ideas for businessmen. Have...

    How many industries would collapse, what would the world look like, if people lived out this belief...Wow:fire: Great reality-grounding, even if a favorite topic of mine is a casualty. Financial non-event- I like that term, more than "irrelevant," or other names I'd have given it..:) Agreed...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Definitely true...and the satisfaction or pride of accomplishment is important for people to find in their life, as seen in these articles with supporting surveys here and there.. To me, that doesn't seem to consider the intensity and efficiency needed to achieve life goals, like delegating out...

    OK Sports Car Peeps, What do you think?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Looks sharp. I like it. Only 30 yrs for GM to realize the mid-engine Fiero was killed too early.. :rofl: A mid-engine Vette could alienate many Vette fans. The price change is minimal, but they are used to selling tens of thousands per year. More than many sports cars on the market. Many...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Wow, that’s almost nihilistic for me, but I like the clarity that perspective could bring. Not my view at all, but I've appreciated your contributions long before this post, thanks for another. So, airplanes depreciate massively too- is that an investment because it’s not A to B, but A to Z to H...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Totally agree on the payment. As an avid car-guy, it wasn’t new, it was classic/fast/both that I wanted. That was what took the discipline for me; not avoiding new, but denying myself speed beyond my budget, upfront or with repairs. Parents never supported that sort of use-without-ownership-debt...

    Find the Best Content: Introducing Most Liked Posts

    IMPORTANT! 
    This is a great feature I've gotten a lot of utility from, so hopefully this isn't an obnoxious bump, but it reminds me of a feature I'd been hoping I could find, but haven't yet- posts I've liked. I have bookmarked some threads in the past that impacted me in some way and there have been a ton...

    Entering the Fastlane in 2018! Happy New Year!

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Completely agree. A late '80's study recently caught my attention on this subject, not to alter the topic too much...but.... See "The Mundanity of Excellence" for the full 20 page article... but here is some context and a 30k foot aerial take... "Hamilton College Professor Daniel F. Chambliss...

    I am trying to sell these keychain breathalyzers

    NOTABLE! 
    Those are definitely cool. A company on Shark Tank got a $1m deal from all 5 sharks to sell a phone compatible version of this to go with their app. Not sure if this would be competition, since it's also in the "portable" market... Here's their site: https://www.breathometer.com

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    Well I checked last Sat eve and didn’t see the show- looks like it posted Sunday, I figured it’d been cancelled. Anyways, that was a great show. It was a “shorter” podcast, but you really packed the material in there well. Kept me on my toes, probably took me twice as long w/pausing and...

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    Good show, read the article and really liked that. Good stuff. The Alec Baldwin scene is solid, never saw that before. The big premise of the show really is exactly TMF's premise- the world only cares what it gets from you. Provide value to it in order to get what you want. Interesting points...

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    Good show, perfect illustration that taking care of your customers needs/concerns first in a healthy/strong market will ensure that you will thrive, not just survive. I liked his line about customer enthusiasm- customers are an insurance policy for the future. It would be interesting to flip...

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    Great show, thanks for starting that thread. Heard a lot of these quotes before, but along with all the other "failure is the quickest teacher/get started now quotes," the encouraging one for me was about how much harder it is to get to mediocrity from nothing than to spectacular from ok. I’ve...
