  You've lived a life of escapism and now you feel terrible inside you want to escape more.
  
  The thought of work conjures up more inadequacies , presenting more opportunity for escapism presenting more time lost. No pressure is applied to momentum and a cycle of de-pression ensues leaving you hating yourself, struggling and wondering why some people are just able to make it and you cant.

  Hello fellow fastlaners,
  
  I was off here for a bit of time but I signed up on fastlane again because I am a bit desperate. Since the 2nd quarantine wave began in my country I am constantly struggling.
  I really can't start working and when I wake up I just stay in bed for 3 hours and watch videos on my phone after that I make myself breakfast and then I watch Netflix series for 6 hours. After that, I do the bare minimum that I have to do for...

  Try this: go on a digital purge for a week. No phone. No computer. No TV.
  
  Just sit with yourself and the discomfort. Sit with the angst, the uncomfortable feelings, the feelings of inadequacy. Whatever makes you want to escape. Try your very best NOT to escape. Just sit with it.
  
  Don't jump to do anything. Especially anything hard. Do not jump to go do the thing you think will make you better. No business books, no forums, no youtube, no udemy, no f*cking nothing. Just sit with yourself and...

  Finally!
  
  I just launched a short story on Kindle (FREE if you have Kindle Unlimited)! After several weeks of modifications, I put my short-story up on Kindle. You might be familiar with it -- it is the heavily modified (and extended) version of the argument I overheard as a limousine driver. (This Kindle version is 4 times longer with 4...

  INTRO - Hello, I'm lost right now. I'd love advice.

  Hey all. I’m not sure if if I should be posting this in my introduction but I need advice right now. I’m 19. I just finished my first year of university studying business. I have no idea what I’m doing with my life right now. A few years ago, I read books like The Millionaire Fastlane, and...

  The Greatest Lesson MJ DeMarco Taught Me

  • Unscripted Mindset

  Two years ago today, my life unraveled. My ex-wife asked for a divorce. And she meant it. I spent the next 9 months in various stages of disaster, grief, self-anger and hopefulness. Yes, hopefulness. If there is a word for the emotion or feeling like God or fate is present in your presence presently, I was in and out of that stage too...

  Fastlaners,
  
  It is with great sadness that I am announcing that the 2021 Summit will not be held this year, at least at the regularly scheduled time (which is about the 2nd week in February).
  
  Unfortunately with Covid-19 and the election looming, the risk for me at holding this event has essentially gone nuclear. There are still many big...

  This year has been quite crazy so far, and a lot of people have reached out to ask me if web design is still a good option. While this is a marketplace post about my coaching program, it will also be a good general guide of the web design opportunities that exist right now.
  
  Is web design still a profitable business in...

  What it feels like to provide value...and why that's all that matters

  So I've given the whole idea of value vs. money-chasing some thought for the past few weeks.
  
  It's true, and I'm pretty sure a lot of us are guilty: We're often in it because of the money. Not because we want to provide value. Instead, we chase through ideas, hoping to find the one shortcut. Although we know that there are no shortcuts in life...

  I haven't posted on here in quite some time.
  
  
  I joined the forum in late 2013, before reading MJ's book. I found the Fastlane Forum through a forum called Luxury 4 Play (about cars). Someone had posted a link in the "business" section. I always asked myself, 'how do people afford these crazy cars?!' So I decided to...

  2019 was an intense year - I had to buy out a shady business partner for $50,000, had to prevent the biz from destructing from and fire a narcissistic VP of sales, and I've had very harsh up and downs with Lyme disease.
  
  I feel like I should have made a million in profit, but I know I'll hit that...

Failure is the sweat of success. The most successful are soaking wet. I learned from and studied my failures. The most important lessons are in your failures. I did a lot...

  Hey Fastlaners,
  I wanted to briefly share my story thus far to hopefully inspire those who are younger or struggling.
  
  3 years ago, I was a struggling drug addict. I was addicted to cocaine, pills, codeine, and dabbled in many things I probably should have never dabbled in. Then, I got arrested with possession charges. The best and worst day...

  I remember growing up my school had two or three shelves of biographies. I read them all. Those books deeply impacted who I wanted to be in life at a very young age. I remember many lessons. But this one lesson I had forgotten, until just recently:
  
  All my favorite leaders got shot.
