I read the memoirs of Vincent Teresa, a mafia boss from the '60s. He reached a high level of success in his field.
Even though he was involved in illicit businesses, what caught my attention was that his thinking and his way of doing business followed a VERY CREATIVE line, always thinking outside the box, in an "Unscripted " way in his own fashion.
Related to this, he argues in his memoirs that making a lot of money isn't so much a matter of excessive effort or putting in tons of time, but rather of SERIOUSLY USING INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY.
In this regard, he said this phrase and it got burned into my mind:
"ANY MAN CAN MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS IN A MONTH, JUST BY USING HIS BRAIN."
He suggests that we live cognitively anesthetized by the "scripts" inherited from the dominant culture and the system: money is earned through massive effort, getting rich is an extremely slow process, to earn enough money to survive you have to work 40 hours a week in jobs working for someone else... All of that, precisely the "scripts" that MJ DeMarco points out in his books and invites us to transcend with a Fastlane mindset.
So here we have this gentleman saying the same thing but with more direct language.
I also find in his statement echoes of the idea that we only use 10% of the brain, something that fits absolutely for me when I put it in context with my experiences with psilocybin, where I understood perfectly the message of the movie "Limitless," which starts from the same premise. No matter how much materialist scientists say otherwise, my numerous experiences with entheogens proved to me that we don't perceive a F*cking bit of our true inner potential. That our conventional state is like a coma state, compared to those other expanded states of consciousness.
I'm pretty sure that if my mental state were like it is on psilocybin 24/7, I would already be more than rich, because it was like "Limitless" with everything. Extreme creativity, seeing hidden patterns, super mental speed, supernatural intuitions, a feeling of infinite intelligence, ultra hyper self-confidence... Anything I can describe falls short, but you get the essence.
And here comes my question:
Setting aside illegal businesses (for obvious reasons) and the use of psychedelics (because they have their risks—Carlos Castaneda already said it's preferable not to use them because of their impact on the body)...
Are there ways to really apply that formula of "Any man can make a million dollars in a month, just by using his brain"?
We're a forum of entrepreneurs. Let's share our experiences on the matter. Let's say someone wants to earn in a month not a million—because that could be too big a "reality jump" (and therefore one with more possible mental resistances)—but let's say 10,000 dollars, something much more attainable according to that principle.
What activity would you choose?
I feel overwhelmed by the fact that the possibilities are infinite. The internet, infinite online business possibilities, infinite massive knowledge applicable to earning massive money, AI... And all of this is exploding, and it blows my mind to know that the Fastlane is right there and more accessible than ever... BY USING THE F*ckING BRAIN.
I'll be honest with you. I made a website for my coaching and content membership business with "vibe coding," in less than 24 hours, with a total investment of less than 5 EUR, with a 100% professional result. I showed it to my contacts and several of them praised its quality, without telling them that I made it myself.
This is an example that nowadays things are easier than ever to make money with Fastlane and Unscripted methods. It's also true that this window of opportunity possibly isn't eternal and that we may be in a unique moment in history.
For all these reasons I have an extreme urgency to find the right method. I don't want to achieve wealth (without exact figures: just the volume of cash to "leave the rat race") in 1 year or 5 years.
If it's really possible to press the keys on the Dashboard of the virtual reality that this physical life is, in order to unlock wealth in a short time frame, what's the way? Out of all the infinite possibilities, which one should you choose?
