    Wealth inequality and poverty

    RANT 
    Yep, one must seek one's own definition of Freedom. I'm on the path of discovering my own. Keeping it as simple as possible.

    Wealth inequality and poverty

    RANT 
    That's right @ZF Lee, not anyone can manage Fastlane. Speculating I don't think he has a solid retirement plan, but I don't factually know that. And yes, you're right, I almost forgot people can be High-income Sidewalkers as well. The healthy relationship part I liked pretty much, that's great...

    Wealth inequality and poverty

    RANT 
    Hello, my friends, I came across this post today: What’s Behind the Rising Inequality of Everything? I understood it talks about the rich getting richer, greedy lobbying, government cronyism, but... does anybody ever talk about the poor getting poorer by their own means? Let me explain...

    Is offering an Udemy course fastlane?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I don't think it's Fastlane because it violates the Commandment of Entry and the Commandment of Control. It does, however, comply with the Commandment of Scale, Time, and arguably Need depending on what you're teaching. Nonetheless, I believe it's a good starter. If you accumulate enough...

    Rejected from UNI: My parents affecting my life choices

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    You gotta move out. You are right they've been hindering you, not with bad motive, but (sorry to say) backed with ignorance. Ignorance is a powerful drive for mediocrity, don't let mediocrity and ignorance crush you. As for the university, I'm in exactly the same position than you. I didn't put...

    Money can buy happiness (whitepaper)

    Good morning fellas, I feel this could be shared here. I came across this whitepaper while checking out News Y Combinator and I feel it's a good contribution to this forum. https://reasonpapers.com/pdf/26/rp_26_1.pdf (13 pages, PDF). Money can buy happiness, if you fix your relationship with...

    How to use "fear of missing out" to make your app addictive

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Greetings Fastlaners, Today I found this little gem in my Twitter timeline and I think it's worth to share here: http://www.inc.com/walter-chen/how-to-use-fomo-to-make-your-app-insanely-sticky.html I think some fastlane ideas can make use of this concept.

    Came up with a website, how can I protect it?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sorry, you most likely can't protect a concept. You can however see it on the flipside, and what's the flipside? Innovating constantly on it. All systems (computational or not) have a natural degradation, have a natural obsolescence, so they must be adapted or improved from time to time. So...

    Discussion on "Grow first, monetize later" philosophy

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I don't know also about your product, but I have two principles to share: In general, most people won't like to pay after you gave some features for free. If you state clearly that it is a trial, okay good, but if you didn't and it looks like you improvised, then you screwed it up. The key here...

    Making a WordPress Website Mobile Friendly

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Most likely you'll need a theme change. Themes I use that work out of the box: RocketTheme (Wordpress). These are premium, but I personally think they are worth the money. They have an option where you can download a "RocketLauncher", which is basically, the installer of the demo you saw on...

    I need some software, but am not sure what it would be called

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's a good alternative, but most likely in the future (when your business grow) you'll need a custom solution, so you might hire a developer as well. If you can hop yourself on the task (while WP-Member does its job), you can learn how to use CodeIgniter framework. It has a module called...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read it twice, and it makes me to spread it. With the profits of my fastlane, I'd like to buy it on wholesale and give it away to my friends who I feel they can make a change in the world. But at the same time I feel like it's not something I should do, because my experience (subject to...
