    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    My Costco membership. Ironic considering your video using that as an example. I basically pay $5/month to save way more on gas there. And I only go when it isn't busy. The trick there is I try to keep it at least half-full so it isn't a big deal if I go by and it's busy, I just go when I'm...

    Your first sale to validate your idea

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    It's been a helluva long time since I read the Four-Hour Workweek. One of the few parts I really remember is Tim saying to put up the actual pages, so that when people click something on your site, they think they're actually going to be paying for it. Helps to have the price on whatever...

    If you want 1 hour of your day to be worth 1 day of an avarage person READ THIS!

    EXECUTION 
    Do the B and C tasks then. Then use the extra time to live your life, or use it to strategize the next day. You don't have to FIND A level tasks in my opinion

    Ideas

    IDEA 
    James Altucher takes it even further. He writes 10 ideas each day down on a waiter paid (limited space so he can't put too much) to build and maintain the habit of being an "Idea Machine". He even wrote a book about it. I got 3-4 days in but didn't keep up with it. Definitely a useful habit...

    A message to a friend who's overwhelmed and worried

    MINDSET 
    @Andy Black I just watched the video, and legit if they make a movie about your life, I can only see Mark Sheppard doing the role :)

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    MINDSET CHAT FEEDBACK 
    I've only read TMF so far (long story short. It sat on my Kindle for a few years because I bought it but never got around to reading it because I kept getting confused thinking it was a different book). I say that in case my understanding of all this is incomplete still. But this idea of "X...

    i finally (lost and found) a client - 100 dollars

    EXECUTION 
    I guess it depends what you mean when you say you "panicked": We you saying something like "Dude, where's my F*** money?" If so, I guess I could see 7z7z as being reasonable in sensing red flags. We really can't diagnose if we don't know for sure how it went down, I suppose. Going forward...

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    I can see how easy that is to get hung up. Another example I read about years ago was a budding band (forgot the band name by now), where part of their "grassroots" marketing campaign was to go to thrift stores and find CDs by other bands in their same genre. They'd list these CDs...

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    So in the case of Hotmail, and how they originally went "viral" by adding “Get your own free Hotmail at www.hotmail.com” at the end of each email users sent, is that an example of being a Flywheel? Or more just a viral/network effect?

    BRO-MARKETING! (Great Copy Selling Crap Products)

    MARKETING 
    I never said I was scammed ;) Just said I fell into the trap of basically buying something I didn't really need. Never once laid blame on anyone.

    BRO-MARKETING! (Great Copy Selling Crap Products)

    MARKETING 
    I just read this thread last night and wondered to myself when the next bump would be, since BRO-Marketing does seem so prevalent. I fell into the trap a few years back of buying one of those things about starting a FB ad agency, posting to my FB feed that I'm learning to do copy and FB ads...

    Can this be turned into a Fastlane??

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    How easily could you package up your processes and sell franchises?

    I just finished reading TMF!

    MINDSET 
    The thing that got to me the most from reading it is the idea of getting into something for the wrong reasons. I've been fighting the idea of opening up a hypnosis practice locally, and all this time I've told myself it's because I don't want to be beholden to a full/packed client schedule. I...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished the Kindle version here at my desk at my J.O.B. Slow day today

    I want to put my life on HOLD for a year

    When you're 70, 80 etc years old, most of the ones giving you grief about this won't even be around anymore. Then you'll look back and think about that time in your life you did X or Y. And you'll think about if you did X or Y for them or for yourself. Jeff Bezos calls this something like the...
