    A Thread Complete with Questions for MJ

    100% agreed. I am paying it forward and mentoring 2 people to build internet businesses due to MJ's impact in my life. I also believe in fair exchange so I am getting a revenue share from their success. Takes nothing away to light another person's candle while yours continues to burn bright...

    What is the first step to independence?

    I agree with getting a job first. I would highly recommend a service based job that gives direct exposure to wealthy fastlaners . For example, when I was younger I was a caddy at a golf course where successful people and celebrities played. I had no experience in golf other than being to hold a...

    Funding lifestyle, Lamborghini, Tesla

    EXECUTION 
    As someone with experience with both cars you want, based on your numbers, I highly recommend you save at least $3 million in cash ($4-5 even better) before contemplating high end depreciable toys and pay cash. Earn your right to risk. In general, never spend more than 5-10% of your net worth on...

    The Value of Things (And Why I Don't Drive a Lambo)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This quote reminds of Stoicism (the philosophy founded by Zeno 300 B.C.) and how others dealt with loss. "One of the techniques stoics use to accomplish this is negative visualization, which helps you want the things you already have by contemplating life without the good things you already...

    Investing all money in high yield income fund?

    INVESTING 
    I diversify across multiple tax free munis above 5% and a managed portfolio of dividend stocks. Always have cash on hand to balance your emotions during market swings. I can retire now since I reached my fastlane goal, but the process of creating and building systematized businesses that runs...

    People and their poor choices

    MINDSET RANT 
    I also get annoyed when my friends complain about their "slowlane-instant-gratification-you-only-live-once" lifestyle. Whenever this does happen, I take it as reminder to extend more compliments and show appreciation to my employees for working in my business. Better to inspire from within...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    If you are concerned with $7 commissions, it would be wiser to keep it in cash. Focus on your fastlane business first. Save until you reach 7 figures cash and at that point $7 is like buying a stick of gum. Technical analysis (chart). 15 mins. Fundamental analysis (news and stats). 45 mins.

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nuveen-closed-end-funds-declare-212700594.html Do due diligence on tax free municipal bonds and choose a few and diversify geographically. On average, you will get you about 6% tax free (equivalent to 9% taxable yields). Payout comes in the form of monthly...

    5 years. Work hard today then play hard later. You do whatever it takes no matter how long it takes to build your garden. To HAVE more, one must BE more.

    Got rejected by a girl today...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Chasing girls (and money) is like chasing butterflies. The harder you go after them, the harder it is to catch them. Build yourself into a better person. Build a better garden. Plant flowers instead of weeds in your mind. Empower all areas of your life. If you value you, the world will value...
